Web design and AI for Pomona small businesses.
The Arts Colony grew out of empty downtown buildings in the late seventies into roughly two hundred lofts, galleries, studios and shops, and the Second Saturday Art Walk still fills those streets every month. Add Cal Poly, Western University, and the Fairplex and Pomona has considerably more going on than it gets credit for.
What I actually see in Pomona.
Creative businesses undersell themselves online more than any other group I work with. The work is genuinely good and the website is a link in a bio. If someone discovers you at an Art Walk on Saturday and looks you up on Monday, what they find should be as considered as what they saw in person.
Pomona also has two large campuses and a fairground pulling in people who don't live here. Those visitors search for everything: food, repairs, printing, framing, supplies. Showing up for that is a different job than being known locally, and for most Pomona businesses it's the bigger of the two opportunities.
I'm about twenty minutes west in West Covina. If you're in the Colony and want a straight opinion on whether your site does your work justice, that's a free conversation.
Built for Pomona, not for showing off.
Pomona has a real mix of small businesses: restaurants and cafes, arts and creative, education-adjacent, 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 downtown Pomona and the Arts Colony 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 Pomona 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 Pomona.
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 downtown Pomona and the Arts Colony included if you're nearby.
What I can help with.
Pick the service that fits where you are today. Most Pomona clients start with one and add more later.
