A web design studio of one

Websites that win clients — not just compliments.

For small businesses, startups, and firms that have outgrown their template: a custom site designed and built by hand, then quietly cared for — by one person you'll actually know, from first call to launch and beyond.

20 minutes, no obligation — if I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you and point you somewhere good.

The quiet problem

Your website is either winning you clients — or losing them. There's no neutral.

Most business sites weren't designed to sell. They were assembled from a theme, filled in a hurry, and left to age. Here's what that actually costs:

You look like everyone else

Your competitors bought the same template. When everything looks interchangeable, visitors compare on the only thing left — price. Custom design is how you stop being a commodity.

Visitors leave without calling

People decide in seconds. If the site is slow, cluttered, or doesn't make the next step obvious, they hit back and call whoever's next on the list. You never even know they visited.

It quietly falls behind

Unpatched, unbacked-up, and slower every year. A neglected site doesn't just stop helping — it starts costing: security risk, broken pages, and Google rankings that drift down as faster sites pass you.

Why a studio of one

A website that stays yours — and stays working.

Most sites are launched and abandoned. Mine are treated like the working infrastructure they are: designed with intent, built cleanly, and maintained month after month. No account managers, no handoffs, no template farm.

01 — Design

Crafted by hand

Every layout is designed from scratch around your work, your clients, and your voice. No stock themes, no page-builder sameness — a site that could only be yours.

02 — Build

Built to convert

Clean, fast, responsive code with sensible SEO from the first line — and a structure that turns visitors into inquiries instead of just looking expensive.

03 — Care

Quietly maintained

Hosting, backups, security patches, and monthly updates handled for you — your first three months are included with every build, so a live site never becomes a liability.

The person behind the work

Hi — I'm Bill. You'll work with me, start to finish.

When you hire Zanetti Creative, there's no account manager, no outsourced build, no ticket queue between us. I take on a small number of projects at a time so every site gets designed properly, built carefully, and looked after like it's my own.

You approve the design before a single line gets built, you own everything when we're done, and if the first call tells us we're not the right fit — it costs you nothing.

Fair questions

The things people actually ask.

What does a website cost, really?
Every price is published on the services page — builds from $2,400, each with your first three months of care included. Your exact quote is confirmed on a short discovery call, and anything extra is quoted in advance. No mystery pricing, no surprise invoices.
What if I don't like the design?
You see and approve the design before I build a single page — we refine it together until it's right. Nothing gets coded that you haven't already said yes to.
Do I actually own my website?
Yes — completely. The design, the code, the content, and your domain are all yours. If you ever leave, everything goes with you. The care plan keeps it healthy; it never holds it hostage.

P.S. — every month your old site stays up is another month it quietly sends clients elsewhere. The call is free — the not-knowing isn't.
