Turning small business dreams into online success stories.
Simple Sites is a tight-knit team of designers, developers and SEO specialists on Michigan St NE. Every project is hand-built by US-based humans — no outsourcing, no template-swap shops.
Small business sites launched since 2025.
Of new work comes from client referrals.
We started because the numbers did not add up.
Simple Sites was founded in Grand Rapids to fix a problem we saw every day: small business owners getting overcharged by big agencies for cookie-cutter websites that did not convert. We started with one belief — small businesses deserve studio-grade design, real SEO and honest pricing without the $10K invoice.
The big-agency model breaks for small business: $5K–$15K websites, six-month timelines, retainers that bill for strategy decks nobody reads. We strip all of that out. Pricing is published openly. Scope is fixed in writing before kickoff.

Three things: fixed-price quotes with no hourly surprises, a 3-to-5 week typical turnaround versus 3–6 months elsewhere, and small-business pricing from $999 versus $5K–$15K.
Founded in 2025 in Grand Rapids. We have launched 40+ small business websites since then. Roughly 80% of our work comes from referrals.
We do redesigns more often than fresh builds. We audit the current site, map every URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects so SEO equity transfers, redesign, then migrate.
