Web design and AI for Duarte small businesses.
I'm Adam. I run The Gridline Company out of West Covina, just down the road from Duarte. City of Hope is the gravitational center of Duarte. Lots of medical-adjacent small businesses serving the campus and its workforce. If you run a small business here, we should talk.
Built for Duarte, not for showing off.
Duarte has a real mix of small businesses: healthcare and medical-adjacent, professional services, restaurants, and more. I've worked with the full range. Whatever you do, the goal is the same: a website and digital presence that actually brings in customers.

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.
