Web Design · Sun City, AZ

Sun City web design in large type, with a phone number nobody has to hunt for.

Three in four Sun City residents are 65 or older. Design for their eyes and their patience, and the site works better for everyone.

Sun City's median age is 72.7, and 74.7% of residents are 65 or older (ACS 2020–2024). That isn't a niche audience here. It is the market. Design follows from it: type no smaller than 18 pixels, high contrast, buttons big enough for a less-steady finger, menus that don't hide behind three little lines, and no slideshow that moves on before the reader has finished. The phone number belongs in the header of each page, as text that dials when tapped, because many customers here will call before they fill in anything.

Content matters as much as type. Half of Sun City's homes were built before 1973, so the work is specific: original supply lines and fixtures, electrical panels half a century old, roofs on their second or third replacement, and tubs being turned into walk-in showers. A page that names the job and explains it in plain words, with a price range or a flat diagnostic fee where you can give one, does more than any slogan. And 45.9% of Sun City households were one person in the 2020 census, so many readers decide alone. Give them the details they would otherwise ask someone else about, including who will come to the door.

Our packages are fixed: $1,500 for up to 10 pages, with copywriting, lead capture, online booking, and a year of support included. Accessible, readable design isn't an add-on. See every tier on the pricing page, and read how we handle search on the Sun City SEO page.

Sun City by the numbers

Businesses online

Small Business Majority's August 2024 report on U.S. small business owners found about a third have no business website, and 41% rely on a social media presence instead. That is a national figure. In Sun City, 89.8% of households have a broadband subscription (ACS 2020–2024, households rather than businesses), so most customers here can look a company up before they call it.

Web Design in Sun City: questions we hear.

Should our site have a "larger text" button?

It's better to make the text large to begin with. Resizing widgets are easy to miss, and every browser already zooms. A site designed at a readable size from the start works for everyone without asking anyone to find a control.

Many of our customers live alone. Does that change what the site should say?

It should. Show the faces and names of the people who will come to the house, explain how they identify themselves at the door, and say what happens at the visit and what it costs. Someone deciding alone wants to know exactly who is coming before they agree.

What kind of photos work best for a Sun City audience?

Real ones: your staff, your trucks, and finished work in homes like theirs. Stock photos of smiling models read as advertising to people who have seen a great deal of it. A plain photo of the technician who will actually show up builds more trust.
