A Small Business Website Design Company That Puts Your Website First
If you’re like most small business owners, you’ve probably gone through several website designs already. Some looked great on the surface, but lacked the search engine optimization you needed. Others may have been functional, but didn’t truly represent your business or help you grow.
At MarketKeep, we understand that a website should do more than just “look good.” We started as a website design company in Towson, MD, and over time, we’ve grown into a full-service small business website design agency serving clients nationwide. What hasn’t changed is our focus on building websites that actually perform.
To us, website design means creating a site that enhances the user experience, increases your visibility online, loads quickly, is mobile-responsive, and works as your hardest-working employee. Because that’s what a great website should be — a reliable tool that helps you grow your business every single day.
What Small Business Owners Have To Say About MarketKeep
What We Believe Should Come STANDARD With Every Website Design
Your website is your livelihood. It should be a tool that works for you.
1. Full Control
It always blows our mind when small business owners reach out to us and they tell us that their domain, their hosting, or even their email is not in their name. It’s in the name of the previous website design company. That should never be the case. We make sure that your domain, hosting, and email is fully in your control.
2. Content Creation
You are not on the hook for content. You are hiring us to do a job so we should do it to the best of our ability. Of course we want your input when it comes time for content but its our responsibility not yours to help create the content.
3. SEO & AI Friendly
Your business depends on being found online, not just by customers, but now by search engines and emerging AI search tools as well. That’s why every website we build is designed to be fully SEO-optimized and AI-friendly from day one.
We structure each page with a dedicated target keyword, clear topical relevance, and clean on-page optimization so your site attracts qualified traffic. Beyond traditional SEO, we also prepare your content for the future by building pages that AI tools can easily understand, summarize, and recommend. From proper site architecture and schema markup to fast load speeds and mobile responsiveness, your website is engineered to perform everywhere your customers search.
When your website is optimized for both SEO and AI search, your business becomes discoverable in more places — helping you grow faster and more efficiently.
4. Mobile Responsiveness
Every website design company says their designs are mobile responsible, but are they really? Sure it might pass Google’s Speed Test but does the mobile version of the website lead to a user-friendly conversion? That should be standard and it is with MarketKeep.
5. Long-Term Support
Need an edit made to your website? We got you covered! Want to know how we made the edit? We send you Loom videos outlining how we made the adjustments on your website as well as how you can make the edit next time in case you want to Do It Yourself. Your website is your website, its not held captive by us.

What to Keep In Mind When Designing a New Website
Designing a website for a small business is different from designing one for a large corporation. Small businesses need a website that works harder, converts faster, and clearly communicates what they offer. Here’s how to do it!
Clear Messaging & Value Proposition
Visitors should immediately understand what your business does and how it helps them.
Strong User Experience
Visitors should immediately understand what your business does and how it helps them.
SEO & AI-Ready
Each page should have a target keyword, optimized headings, internal links, and schema markup so search engines and AI tools can easily understand and recommend your site.
Trust Signals
Reviews, testimonials, photos, badges, and portfolio examples all help establish credibility.
Conversion-Focused Design
Strategically placed calls to action guide visitors toward calling, booking, or buying.
Scalable & Easy-to-Manage Backend
Small business owners need a website they can update without relying on a developer for every minor change.
FAQs About Our Small Business Website Design Services
How much does a new website design from MarketKeep cost?
The cost of a new website design depends on the size and scope of your project. We look at factors such as:
-
How many pages your website needs
-
Whether you require individual service pages or local landing pages
-
The keyword difficulty of the terms you want to rank for
-
The amount of SEO strategy and content development involved
Our goal is always to build a website that performs. Not just one that looks good. Most of our small business website designs range from $850 to $2,250, depending on your specific needs.
How long does it take to build my new website?
On average, most websites take about three weeks to complete.
This includes design, development, content writing, SEO setup, and revisions. If we’re building a completely new website from the ground up (especially one with many pages or advanced SEO) the timeline may extend slightly. We always communicate timelines clearly so you know exactly what to expect.
Will you write the content for us?
Yup! Content writing is on our plate.
We draft 80–90% of your content based on SEO best practices, your industry, and your target audience. Then you review it and customize any details to ensure the copy reflects your voice and your business accurately. Kinda like that game Mad Libs we all used to play in the car growing up!
Who owns the website?
You do — 100%.
Once your website is completed and approved, it is fully yours. You retain ownership of the design, content, and all associated files. We believe small business owners should always stay in control of their marketing.
Can you help us make edits and maintain the website to though?
Of course!
We’re happy to handle ongoing updates, edits, and maintenance whenever you need support. We also create step-by-step Loom video tutorials showing you how edits were made, so you can reference them anytime and feel confident managing your website yourself.
How can I track the performance?
We set up all the essential performance tools for you, including:
-
Google Analytics – to monitor traffic, visitor behavior, and conversions
-
Google Search Console – to track rankings, search visibility, and indexing
-
MonsterInsights (for WordPress) – to view key performance metrics right from your dashboard
These tools give you clear insight into how your website is performing and where your opportunities for growth are.
Can you really design websites on WordPress, Wix & Squarespace?
Yes! We can design your website on any of the major platforms — WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix. Each has its strengths, and we’re flexible because we want to build on the platform that you feel most comfortable using.
What platform do you recommend though?
We almost always recommend WordPress. It’s the most customizable, SEO-friendly, and scalable platform available for small businesses. If you want full control, long-term growth, and the best performance potential, WordPress is the way to go.
What do you need from us to get started?
All we need is your approval to begin. We design your new website on a private staging site, so nothing goes live until you’re ready.
It also helps if you can provide:
-
Your logo
-
Your brand colors
-
Any photos you’d like included
-
Examples of websites you like (optional but helpful!)
From there, we handle everything else.
How quickly can you get started on a website design?
We can begin your project within three business days of your approval. Our process is streamlined for small business owners who want to move quickly and start seeing results as soon as possible.
