Custom Design & Build
Hand-coded, mobile-first sites — no page builders, no bloated templates. Clean code that loads fast, ranks well, and is yours outright when it's done.
Pacific Grove businesses are small, personal, and booked by strangers — a couple choosing a B&B for Butterfly Days, a family picking a cafe after the Aquarium, a retreat guest comparing venues from another state. The website does the persuading before anyone arrives. Ghosxt hand-codes warm, fast websites for PG's inns, cafes, retreats, and small offices, from a Peninsula-based, DoD-cleared engineer.
Websites from $1,800, published upfront — price your exact project with the instant calculator.
Every site is hand-coded and mobile-first, tuned to Google's Core Web Vitals, and delivered with the domain, hosting, and code in accounts you own.
Hand-coded, mobile-first sites — no page builders, no bloated templates. Clean code that loads fast, ranks well, and is yours outright when it's done.
On-page SEO, schema markup, Search Console, and page-speed tuning on every build — the technical work that decides who shows up when your city searches for what you do.
Reservation flows on your own domain that convert lookers into direct bookings — keeping the guest relationship and the 15-20% a platform would take.
Design that carries a PG inn or cafe's personality — honest photography, story, warmth — engineered to load instantly for the traveler deciding from a phone.
Domain, fast managed hosting with SSL, and business email on your own domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured — everything in accounts you own.
Updates, daily backups, security monitoring, and performance checks from $300/month — run by the same security team that protects business networks, so your site never becomes the unpatched thing that gets you breached.
Inns and B&Bs compete with big-brand hotels a mile away, so the site has to sell what the brands can't — character, story, and rooms photographed honestly — while taking direct bookings that skip the platform commissions. Cafes and restaurants need current menus and hours that survive the seasonal rhythm. Retreats and practitioners need calm, credible pages with scheduling built in. Small sites, done with care.
The pattern behind all of it: your customers decide from a phone, in seconds, based on how fast and clear your site is. That is an engineering problem before it is a design problem — and engineering is what we do. See the live work on our portfolio, or read the 2026 pricing guide for real numbers.

If it's slow on a phone, invisible in local search, or running on software nobody has updated in a year, it's quietly sending Pacific Grove customers to competitors — our guide to the nine signs a website is costing you customers walks through the checks you can run yourself in ten minutes. Where the foundation is sound we'll say so and quote a refresh, not a rebuild.
Most web designers disappear after launch; most IT providers don't build websites. We're both, which changes what you get: a site maintained by the same team that runs cybersecurity and managed IT for Pacific Grove businesses — patched, monitored, backed up, and never the abandoned software that gets a business breached. Everything local lives on the Pacific Grove IT services hub.
We also build websites for businesses in Monterey, Carmel, Seaside, and Marina, and remotely across California and the US — see the main web development page for the portfolio, packages, and instant calculator.
