WEBSITE DESIGN · WEST JORDAN

Your web guy lives in West Jordan too.

Custom-coded sites for West Jordan trades and home-service companies — built for local search, handed over with the domain and every account in your name. And if you'd rather do this across a table than over Zoom, I'm about ten minutes away.

01WHY THE ADDRESS MATTERS

I'm not serving West Jordan from somewhere else.

Merrill Digital Systems runs out of West Jordan. Not a downtown office with a West Jordan page bolted onto it — this is where I live and where the work gets done. It means I can meet you at your shop off Bangerter, photograph your actual trucks instead of buying stock images of someone else's, and I already know that a homeowner near Jordan Landing and one out past the Mountain View Corridor are two different searches. Bay's Baked Goods, a home bakery here in the city, is on that client list for the same reason: she could just call me.

Salt Lake companies are outranking you in your own city

Plenty of firms with a downtown address advertise into the whole county. If your site never states which cities you cover, Google has no reason to pick you over them.

Google can't tell where you actually work

Most trades here run out of a home or a yard, not a storefront. Set the profile up as a storefront anyway and you get filtered out of the map pack for half the valley.

It falls apart on a phone in a truck

Page-builder sites ship megabytes of unused script. Your customer is standing in a driveway with one bar, deciding between you and the next result.

Nobody can tell you're local

Stock photos, a 1-800 number and no address. West Jordan homeowners hire the neighbor over the national chain, but only if the site makes it obvious which one you are.

02WHAT YOU GET

What ships — plus the part I do in person.

  • A kickoff at your shop, not a Zoom link

    I come to you, walk the operation, and take photos of the trucks, the crew and the finished work. That hour saves a month of back-and-forth over email.

  • A custom-coded site

    No theme, no page builder. Hand-written and tuned to score in the 90s on Core Web Vitals rather than merely looking fine on your laptop.

  • Pages for the southwest valley

    West Jordan first, then the cities you actually drive to — South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, Taylorsville, Kearns. One page per city you want work from, not one homepage aimed at everything.

  • Google Business Profile set up correctly

    Service-area business or storefront, whichever you really are, with the right categories and a radius that matches your routes. This is the single most common thing I fix on day one.

  • Real photos, real proof

    Your jobs, your vans, your name on the truck. Local buyers can spot a stock photo instantly, and it costs you the call.

  • Lead capture that works

    Click-to-call on every mobile screen, a form that hits your phone in seconds, and tracking so you know which page produced the job.

  • A 90-day bug warranty

    In writing. If something I built breaks in the first 90 days, it's mine to fix, not yours to pay for twice.

  • Everything in your name

    Code, repo, domain, hosting, analytics. Yours on final payment, with no subscription required to keep the site online.

04STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions people actually ask.

Yes, and I'd rather. I live in West Jordan, so I'll come to your shop or your yard for the kickoff and again before launch if it helps. Most of my clients elsewhere in the state never meet me face to face and it works fine — but if you're here, take the in-person version. It's faster and you get better photos out of it.

Between $3,000 and $9,000 for a custom-coded site. The low end is a focused five-page site for a single-service business; the high end adds pages for each city you serve, written copy, a booking flow and a migration off whatever you're on now. The number is agreed in writing before any code exists.

Only if the site hides it. Google needs to see the cities named somewhere real — a page each for South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman or wherever your routes actually go, plus a service area on the Business Profile that matches. Skip that and you rank in one city and vanish in the next one over, which is the most common problem I see on this side of the valley.

No. Trades and home services are the bulk of it because that's who this city is full of, but Bay's Baked Goods is a home bakery here in West Jordan and the job was the same: get found locally, look legitimate on a phone, make the next step obvious. If your customers find you by searching, the work translates.

Probably not. If you're three months in and still figuring out what you sell, buy Squarespace or Wix and put the difference into tools and trucks. I'll tell you which one to pick on the call and set up your Google Business Profile while we're on the phone, free. Come back when the site has to earn its cost back — that's when custom starts making sense.

You own it. Code, repo, domain, hosting and analytics are all in your name on final payment. There's no license to renew and nothing to keep paying me for. If you never call me again, the site keeps working — and if you do call, you're calling someone in your own zip code.
