Websites that make your business easy to find.

I design and build custom websites for small business — a layout built around your goals, fast on a phone, and launched live. One designer, from the first call to launch day.

Clear scope. Clear timeline.

Clear scope, a clear timeline, and a site designed on a phone first.

Concept designs

Three sites, three different answers.

Three builds for three kinds of business — a bakery, a law practice and a strength studio. Each has its own type, palette and layout, because none of them should look like the others. These are concept designs, not live client sites; any one of them can be built out for you.

Concept design for a bakery: warm split hero, a daily menu with prices and a photo gallery.
Hearth & Crumb — a bakery with a menu, gallery and pre-orders
Concept design for a two-office law practice: a light hero card, practice areas and local insights.
Grand Strand Law Group — a two-office practice with clear practice areas
Concept design for a strength studio: bold type, a weekly timetable and membership tiers.
Iron & Oak — a strength studio with a weekly timetable and memberships

What I do

Design & build. Nothing you don't need.

Every site is designed around your business and set up for you — secure hosting with HTTPS, checked before it goes live, and handed over so you can edit it yourself.

Get started

Capabilities

Built around your business, not a template.

Designed around your business

A layout built around your business, your customers, and the job the site needs to do. Every layout starts from your goals, not from a theme.

Brand fit

Colour, type and tone matched to who you are. You get a distinctive palette that sets you apart from the business down the road.

Mobile-first

Designed on a phone screen first, then scaled up. Your site looks right and feels natural on every device your customers use.

Editable after launch

Built on WordPress so you can change pages, text and photos yourself — no lock-in, and any WordPress developer can pick it up later.

Fast by default

Optimised images and a light build, so pages open quickly for visitors and score well on the tools that matter.

Accessible & secure

Proper structure, keyboard navigation and clear contrast, with HTTPS and sensible security defaults as standard.

Live deployment

Your site is launched on secure hosting with HTTPS and checked before it goes live — no server admin required on your end.

Domain & setup

I handle DNS, the hosting setup and the technical wiring, so your domain points at a working, polished site from day one. Hosting is purchased separately, in your own account.

Ongoing care

Small tweaks, a new section or a fresh page when you need one — quoted before it begins, and a message away.

Found on Google Maps

Google Business Profile set up or cleaned up, with your hours, photos, services and site link, so you show up when people nearby search.

Who you'll work with

Hi, I'm Stephen.

I’m the designer and builder behind Vidal Studios, based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I build websites for small businesses because getting online should feel straightforward, and your site should make it easy for customers to understand what you do and get in touch.

You’ll work directly with me from our first conversation through launch, with clear answers and guidance along the way.

A straightforward process

From first call to launched site.

Four steps from consultation to launch. Standard projects typically take about four weeks; your written proposal confirms the scope and schedule.

Discover

Standard project, week 1 — we talk through your business, your customers and what the site has to do. You get a written brief: the pages, the calls to action, and what success looks like.

Design

Standard project, week 2 — I design the layout and palette around your business. You get a preview of the home page to react to — structure, copy and colours — before anything is built.

Build

Standard project, weeks 3–4 — I build the pages mobile-first with your real content, fast and accessible. You get a staging link to click through while it comes together, and changes as we go.

Launch

Standard project, launch day — your domain points at the live site and the launch checklist runs: forms, search basics, redirects. You get the keys and a walkthrough of how to edit it yourself.

Good to know

Questions, answered clearly.

A few helpful details before we start. If your question isn't here, just get in touch.

How long does a website take?
Standard projects typically take about four weeks. Smaller projects may be faster; your written proposal confirms the timeline once scope, content and access are ready.
Are hosting and a domain included?
Design fees and outside service costs are separate. You purchase hosting and your domain in your own account, and I help with the setup. Any paid extras require your approval first. If it helps, I can share a referral link to SiteGround StartUp (siteground.com) — I may receive a referral benefit if you use it, and you are free to host anywhere.
What happens after launch?
Every package includes free support after launch (30 or 60 days). After that, the Care plans keep your site updated, backed up and monitored, or I quote one-off changes before starting.
Who owns the website when it's done?
You do, once the final invoice is paid. Third-party licences such as themes, fonts and plugins remain their owners’, and your hosting and domain stay in your own account.
Do I need to write the content?
I’ll guide you with a simple content checklist. You know your business best, so you provide the facts and details — I handle the design, structure, and how it’s presented.
Do you work with clients outside Myrtle Beach?
Absolutely. I’m based in Myrtle Beach, SC, but I work with small businesses everywhere — all calls and collaboration happen online.
What does "design + build" include?
A custom design, a mobile-first build and launch setup on hosting you own. Copywriting, maintenance and advanced features are quoted before they begin.
