Web Design · Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville web design built to stay up when the river comes up.

When Hurricane Irma passed in 2017, the river gauge downtown recorded a storm tide near five feet. A Jacksonville website has to keep working on days like that, when customers need you most.

The National Weather Service's summary of Hurricane Irma records an 86 mph gust at Jacksonville International Airport, more than 11 inches of rain near Ortega, and a storm tide of 4.94 feet on the river gauge downtown on September 11, 2017. On a day like that, a roofer's or restoration company's phone number is the most valuable thing on the internet, and the site holding it had better be up. Storm resilience is mostly a hosting decision: modern infrastructure, real backups, and a site that does not depend on one overloaded server.

It is also a content decision. A banner you can change in a minute, service notices that do not require a developer, and a phone number visible without scrolling. The same site should still look like a business the rest of the year, which is most of the year.

Jacksonville's geography shapes the pages, too. The city has about 1,100 miles of shoreline, more than any other in Florida, which supports a whole economy of docks, seawalls, boat lifts, marine repair and waterfront landscaping. Those businesses should say so plainly, with photos of real waterfront work. And with 747 square miles of land, the largest city by area in the contiguous U.S., a clear statement of where you actually go matters more here than almost anywhere. Packages are fixed by page count, starting at $1,500. See pricing and maintenance.

Web Design in Jacksonville: questions we hear.

Will our site go down in a hurricane?

It shouldn't, if it is hosted properly. Modern infrastructure distributes the load and keeps backups elsewhere; a single cheap server in one place is the risk.

We work on docks and seawalls. Should that be its own page?

Yes. Waterfront work is searched for specifically, and a dedicated page with real photos ranks for it and converts better than a line in a list.

How much does a Jacksonville website cost?

From $1,500 for up to ten pages, with every tier published. Most builds go live in seven to ten days.
