Web design in Bradenton and Sarasota, and up the road to Tampa

Five cities wearing one map

People here live in one city, work in a second and eat out in a third. Somebody in Brandon drives into Tampa every morning. Somebody in Bradenton goes down to Sarasota for dinner and does not think of it as a trip. St. Petersburg is across the water from Tampa and across the Skyway from Manatee County, and people cross both without much ceremony, the Skyway on a windy day excepted.

The customers a business here is chasing move the same way. They do not stop at a county line, and neither does the map on their phone. So we treat the five as one territory rather than five landing pages. There is no Sarasota page with Bradenton swapped in for the name, because nobody searching lives in that version of Florida.

Ellenton, in the middle of the five

The office is in Ellenton, in Manatee County, well inland. Bradenton is next door, Sarasota is to the south, Tampa and Brandon are to the north, and St. Petersburg is over the Skyway. That is most of the point of putting it there. Meetings are by appointment, at the office or at your place of business, whichever is easier.

The street address goes on the Ellenton page the day the doors open, and not a day before. Gainesville stays the headquarters; Ellenton is where Bradenton, Sarasota and their neighbors get a table of their own.

Already building here

There are two builds around here so far, and both are medical. Ellenton Family Practice Direct is direct primary care right next door to the office, on a site built around membership signups. MBS Medicine, nearby, is a veteran-owned Florida telehealth clinic with same-week booking and a patient portal.

That is the honest count: two builds, and an office to do more from. We would rather say so than pad a list with towns we have never shipped anything in.

What it costs, and how it runs

Quotes are free, and the bands are the same here as everywhere else we work. They are on the cost page. There is no local markup and no out-of-town discount, because nobody here is out of town.

Most of the work runs over a live staging site you can open on your own phone, recorded walkthroughs, and a reply within 24 hours. A room is for when a room helps, like a kickoff or the first look at a new site. Either way you deal with the same two people: Alex Anderson on design and development, Kristina Anderson on strategy and content.

And if you already have a site, we look at it first. If patching the site you have beats rebuilding it, we will say so, and an existing site can be audited for accessibility on its own.

What we do from Ellenton

The same four things we do everywhere, scoped to what the business actually needs.

Questions we get first

Where are you actually based?

Gainesville is the headquarters. The second office is in Ellenton, in Manatee County, and it is where we meet clients from Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa and Brandon, by appointment. The street address goes on the Ellenton page the day the doors open.

Will you come to us?

Yes. Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa and Brandon are all in-person territory, so we will meet you at the office in Ellenton or at your place of business, whichever is easier. Either way, it is by appointment.

Is pricing different in Bradenton or Sarasota?

No. The bands are the same here as everywhere else we work, they are published on the cost page, and a quote is free. There is no local markup.

Can you help a business that already has a site?

Yes, and we will look at what you have before we suggest replacing it. If patching the site you have beats rebuilding it, we will say so. Existing sites can also be audited for accessibility on their own.
