Local businesses
A clear website for your local business
A customer hears your name from a neighbor. Before calling, they look you up. Your website should make that decision easy: what you do, where you work, why someone can trust you, and how to ask for help.
Riv Lux Media builds websites for independent businesses from New York, in English and Spanish. We start with the conversation between you and your customer, then build the site around it.
Start with a one-page website from $500 USD. The base covers one language and up to five sections built from your ready-to-use content, plus a clear call or email action, one revision round, deployment, and handover. Domain, hosting, and paid tools are separate provider costs. We quote additional content, pages, integrations, and ongoing care separately. No maintenance subscription is required.

One page or a larger website?
| Your situation | A useful starting point |
|---|---|
| One main service, one service area, one way to inquire | A focused one-page site |
| Several services with different questions or customers | A small site with distinct service pages |
| Customers need estimates or appointments | A clear request flow with realistic response expectations |
| Customers use English and Spanish | Reviewed content and contact paths in both languages |
| Your current website is confusing or out of date | A content and structure review before deciding on a rebuild |
Going with one page is a decision about scope, and that page still needs careful writing, usable navigation, readable type, and contact controls that work on a phone. More pages make sense once the business has more to explain.
What we put in the right order
The offer. The specific services you provide and the work you accept. A visitor should recognize their problem in the first few lines.
The coverage. Places you actually serve, plus any limits that affect whether you can take the job; a company that visits customers needs different details from a shop.
The evidence. Approved photographs, finished work, and the people behind it. We describe what a project demonstrates and don't invent business outcomes.
The next step. Call, email, request an estimate, or book through a system you already use. The page should explain what happens after a customer sends a request.
The upkeep. An agreed way to change hours, services, coverage, and contact details. Who owns the site and how it gets handed over belong in the project scope from the beginning.

DonFixYou is a client website for a handyman service, and its compact structure introduces the person, explains the work, shows proof, and makes contact easy to find. The client's site is English-only. Our portfolio case is available in English and Spanish.
A smaller site can still carry a clear identity and a complete first conversation. We don't claim an increase in leads or revenue that we haven't measured.
How the site fits with maps and social media
Your website is the detailed source you control. Listings help people check practical information, and social channels can show current work. Keep those facts consistent across the places customers find you.
Each platform sets its own eligibility rules. Google Business Profile generally requires in-person contact with customers, which means an online-only company shouldn't invent an office to get listed. Read Google's eligibility rules and our website, business profile, and social media guide.
Planning the project
Bring your services, the area you actually cover, how you prefer customers to reach you, and any photographs or project examples you have permission to publish. Tell us who updates the information. We also need to know which languages your team can support when a customer gets in touch.
We recommend a scope and point out content that still needs work. The pricing guide explains existing project bands and what affects a quote. To talk about your business, use the short quote form.
Questions business owners ask
Can I keep my domain? Yes. Before we plan a move, we look at your existing site, your hosting, anything your email depends on, and the URLs that matter.
Do I need every page in Spanish? It depends on your customers and on whether you can respond to them in Spanish. A first phase can cover services, essential terms, and contact. See bilingual websites.
Will this put me first on Google? No studio can promise that. We build a sound search foundation and useful content, then look at how people actually find you and what inquiries come in over time.
Can the site help while I am working? It can answer routine questions and collect a request. That request isn't a confirmed appointment, though, unless a system actually confirms it.
