Why Work With a Local Developer

Bill Bergquist — web developer in Denver, CO

14+ years of experience

I've been building for the web since 2012, at startups and large companies. I've seen what works and what doesn't.

Local to Denver & Lakewood

I live in the area and I'm happy to meet in person. I know the Front Range market and what local businesses are looking for.

One developer, no middlemen

You talk directly to the person building your site. No project managers, no game of telephone. Just straightforward communication.

Modern tech, fast sites

I use current tools and frameworks so your site loads quickly, works on every device, and shows up in search results.

"That's fabulous! I love it! I really appreciate you and the time you're spending on this and saving me money. Please move forward with it ASAP!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a website cost for a small business in Denver?

It depends on the project, but most small business sites I build land between $2,000 and $8,000. Landing pages are on the lower end, and bigger sites with custom features cost more. Try the cost calculator to get a ballpark, or reach out and I'll give you a straightforward estimate. No hidden fees.

How long does it take to build a website?

Usually 3 to 6 weeks from start to launch. A simple landing page might only take a week or two. Larger projects can take longer, but I keep you in the loop the whole time.

Do you work with businesses outside Denver and Lakewood?

For sure. I'm based in the Denver/Lakewood area, but I work with businesses all over the Front Range: Golden, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Englewood, Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Boulder, and beyond. Remote works great too.

Will my website work well on mobile?

Yes. I build mobile-first, meaning the phone experience comes first, not as an afterthought. Over 60% of web traffic comes from phones, so your site needs to look good and load fast on smaller screens. I test on real devices.

Can you help my business rank on Google?

I bake SEO basics into every site: clean heading structure, meta tags, fast load times, mobile optimization, and structured data. For local businesses, I also handle Google Business Profile integration and local schema markup so you can show up in map results.

What's the difference between a template website and a custom-built one?

Template sites (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress themes) give you a pre-made layout that you fill in. They work for some businesses, but they're limited in speed, SEO, and design flexibility. A custom-built site is coded specifically for your business, loads faster, ranks better, and can do exactly what you need without fighting a template's limitations.

Do I need to provide content and photos for my website?

It helps if you have some photos of your business, team, or products, but I can work with what you've got. I'll write the website copy with you or for you based on our conversations. I know what works for web content and can help shape your message.

What happens after my website launches? Do you offer maintenance?

Yes. I offer ongoing support plans for updates, changes, and maintenance. But even without a support plan, I don't disappear after launch. If something breaks or you have a quick question, I'm a text or email away.

Can you help with Google Business Profile setup?

Absolutely. For local businesses, your Google Business Profile is as important as your website. I'll help you set it up or optimize your existing one, connect it to your site, and make sure your business info is consistent across the web.

How do I know if my business needs a new website?

If your site is slow, doesn't look good on phones, hasn't been updated in a few years, or you're embarrassed to share the link, it's probably time. I offer a free consultation where I'll take a look at your current site and give you an honest assessment.
