Why most small business websites don't bring in customers
Most small businesses end up with a Wix or Squarespace template that loads slowly on phones, looks identical to a thousand other sites in their industry, and has no clear next step for a visitor to take. So visitors leave without calling, booking, or buying. The site exists — but it isn't doing its job. We rebuild it as a real lead engine: custom-coded around your specific business, your specific customer, and the one action you most want them to take.

How we build your custom website
Free custom mockup
You tell us your business, your ideal customer, and the action you want visitors to take. In 3–4 days we deliver a real custom homepage mockup — not a template. No call required, no follow-up if you pass.
Refine and approve
We iterate on copy, layout, and imagery based on your feedback. You see exactly what your live site will look like before any payment. No surprises at launch.
Launch and grow
We hook up your domain, deploy to global edge hosting, set up your analytics, and you're live in 7 days. Then we start optimizing — every month, forever — to bring in more customers.
Spring Haven Mansion · Wedding venue — Tennessee
The venue needed a site that matched the elegance of the property. Generic templates couldn't capture its character, and the previous site loaded slowly on mobile — where most engaged couples browse vendors.
A fully custom, photography-forward design on edge hosting with a booking inquiry form routed straight to the venue's team, LocalBusiness + Event Venue schema, and daily traffic reports. Mobile PageSpeed sits at 95–100 and the site has had zero downtime since launch.

Common questions
How much does a small business website cost?
Average small-business website costs in 2026 break down like this: $3,000-$8,000 upfront with a local agency (then $80-$200/mo for hosting + maintenance), $40-$100/mo on Wix or Squarespace once you pay for everything you actually need, or $100-$300/mo for a real-world WordPress install once you add hosting, plugins, security, and someone to keep it running. Zorva Labs is priced to your project — one written proposal covers the custom design, hand-coded build, edge hosting, SSL, daily backups, on-page SEO, and monthly content edits, rolled into a single flat monthly. No setup fee, no long-term contract.
How long does a custom small business website take to build?
Most standard small-business builds go from approved mockup to live site in 7 business days. Larger custom builds with integrations or e-commerce typically take 3–4 weeks. Your written proposal spells out the exact timeline before we start.
Do you build websites on WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?
No. We custom-code every site on Next.js — the same framework powering Stripe, Notion, and Vercel. Custom code outperforms templates on speed, SEO, and customization. You also own the underlying code outright; we don't lock you into a proprietary platform.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Every Zorva website is mobile-first by default. Over 70% of small business website traffic now comes from phones, so we design for the phone first and scale up to desktop. Every site we ship scores 95–100 on mobile PageSpeed.
Can I keep my existing domain?
Yes. If you already own a domain, we'll point it at your new site — no need to buy a new one. If you don't have a domain yet, we'll register one for you (domain registration + yearly renewals are included in the monthly bundle).
What happens if I cancel?
You keep your domain. You keep all your code, copy, and design assets. We'll help you migrate to another host if you want. There are no contracts and no exit fees — Zorva works because clients stay, not because they're locked in.
Will the website actually bring in customers, or just look nice?
Every page is built around the action you most want a visitor to take — call, book, fill out the form, or buy. We measure success by leads, calls, and bookings, not by visual flourishes. Most clients see new inquiries within the first 30 days of launch.
