Web design and AI for Duarte small businesses.
Duarte's center of gravity is City of Hope, and the campus is partway through a billion-dollar modernization: a new eight-story outpatient tower, a hotel with a restaurant open to the public, and a twenty-year plan for more. Every one of those patients, families, and staff has to eat, park, sleep, and shop somewhere.
What I actually see in Duarte.
If you run anything near Huntington Drive, a real share of your customers did not grow up here and do not know the area. They arrived for treatment or for work, they are short on time, and they are searching on a phone from a waiting room. That is about the highest-intent local search there is.
Winning it is unglamorous. Accurate hours including weekends, walking or driving distance from the campus said in plain words, where to park, and photos that show what the place actually looks like. Most businesses near the campus miss at least three of those four.
I'm roughly twenty minutes away in West Covina. If you want to see what someone at City of Hope finds when they search for what you sell, I'll walk you through it.

From $75 Learn moreWhy hire local for this work?
You don't have to. Plenty of out-of-state agencies will happily build you a website. But here's what changes when you hire someone in your area:
We can grab coffee in Huntington Drive corridor or somewhere else nearby. When something breaks, you call me directly. When you have a quick question, you don't wait three days for a "ticket response."
For local SEO specifically, having a designer who understands Duarte matters. I know the area. I shop here. I know which streets are which. That shows up in the city pages and content I write for your business.
Be the first published case study from Duarte.
Most of my past work is under NDA, so I'm building out fresh case studies from this point forward. The first three clients per city who let me publish their project (with a screenshot, the goals, and the result) get 15% off their total project cost.
You stay in full control. You approve every word and image before anything goes live. Coffee in Huntington Drive corridor included if you're nearby.
What I can help with.
Pick the service that fits where you are today. Most Duarte clients start with one and add more later.
