Starwheel Websites

Starwheel Websites is a small web design and digital marketing studio based in Bradenton, Florida, working with small businesses across the Gulf Coast, including Sarasota, Manatee County, and Anna Maria Island. Founded in 2014, the studio is run as a one-to-one operation, with clients dealing directly with the person designing and building their site rather than being passed between departments. Work is coordinated in person or over Zoom, and the studio positions itself as a local alternative to larger, corporate web agencies. Services cover web design, hosting, SEO, and graphic design, with photography and video content also produced in-house rather than outsourced. Websites are built on WordPress and designed from scratch for each client rather than from templates, with attention to mobile display, page load speed, and clear messaging. SEO work includes competitor and market-position analysis used to build an optimization plan, on-site optimization aimed at increasing organic Google traffic, and ongoing month-to-month plans intended to build site authority over time. Hosting services include uptime monitoring, daily backups, and technical support. The studio describes its pricing and process as transparent, with defined project stages rather than upsold add-ons, aiming to keep design, performance, and SEO work consistent across every page of a client's site.
