Nice to Meet You

I’m James, Founder of Monumental Web Design.

After nearly a decade building and optimizing websites for government agencies — and running my own e-commerce brand — I’ve learned what truly makes a site perform. I combine technical precision with real-world business insight to help small businesses grow through fast, custom-coded websites.

I’ve led UX and performance projects for the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Now, I bring that same level of craftsmanship to small businesses who deserve more than a template.

Every site I build is lightning-fast, SEO-ready, and designed to convert. If you’re ready for a website that works as hard as you do, I’d love to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

The starter plan is a one-time payment that covers the design, build and launch of your site. After that, we'll host your site for $20/month. The subscription plan spreads out the cost monthly and includes hosting, updates, and full support for $160/month.
View Pricing Plans
All additional page charges are a one-time fee, you don't have to pay for the extra page every month. The same goes for the $200 blog setup fee.
Yes! You can add unlimited edits and 24/7 support for $50/month while on the Starter plan.
Compare Plan Add-ons
There’s a 12-month minimum. After that, it continues month-to-month until you cancel. When you cancel, you forfeit the site.
The subscription is a 12-month commitment, similar to a lease. If you cancel early, you will have to pay the Starter plan one-time fee so that we are paid for our work.
No, cancelling forfeits ownership.
Yes. We recommend you register your domain yourself (we can help), so you always retain ownership.
We’d love to have you back. If we still have your files, we can restart your service. You'll restart with a 12-month minimum contract and month-to-month after that.
If your payment method is declined, you’ll receive an email with steps to fix the issue. There’s a 5-day grace period, after which your site may be paused until payment is resolved.
We use Stripe for secure, hassle-free billing. You can easily set up autopay using ACH transfers (no fee), or pay by card for a small processing fee.
Nope — everything is clearly outlined up front. If anything extra ever comes up, we’ll always get your approval first.
See Plan Pricing
Typically 1-2 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on your content and feedback speed.
Absolutely. We collaborate with you on direction, branding, and revisions to make sure the final product feels like you.
Definitely. We can match your brand guidelines or design something new from scratch.
All plans include a fully custom responsive design and build, 5 pages, a contact form, on-page SEO, 98+ Lighthouse performance, security, backups, and Google profile setup. The Growth Plan also adds hosting, unlimited edits, and 24/7 support.
Full Plan Comparison
Yes. You’ll receive design mockups or a prototype to approve before development starts. You'll know exactly what to expect throughout the whole process. No surprises here!
This rarely happens as we collaborate closely with you from the start. But if it does, we will work with you to make revisions until you’re happy. If we can't make you happy within 90 days, we'll refund you and go our separate ways. (We will miss you though!)
We offer basic brand styling (colors, fonts, layout). We can lightly modify and optimize your existing logo. For full logo packages, we suggest finding a graphic designer.
We custom-code everything using modern HTML, CSS, and very minimal JavaScript.
Yes. Please reach out to discuss your project.
Yes, we can make just about anything. If you have a specific web app in mind, feel free to reach out — we’ll be happy to discuss it.
No. All sites are hand-coded for speed, performance, and responsiveness. No templates or low performance builders.
More About Why We Do This
Custom code means better performance, cleaner SEO, fewer bugs, and no reliance on third-party plugins. You get a faster, more secure, longer-lasting site. No plugin updates or security issues to worry about.
More About Why We Do This
100%. We build around your business needs and can include whatever functionality your site requires.
Absolutely. We want to grow with you. We build flexible codebases that allow for future updates and new pages (new pages are a one time extra cost of $70 per page). Updates/edits to existing pages are included in the Growth plan.
Yes, we can embed or integrate most popular tools into your site. We've worked with Mailchimp, Calendly, Jobber, Acuity, Setmore, Square Appointments, and more. If you’re unsure about a specific tool, just ask!
Not directly — we handle all edits for you so the code stays clean and the site stays fast. But you can request unlimited changes on supported plans.
Absolutely. Every site is fully responsive and tested across devices to ensure it looks and performs great on any screen size.
All sites are built with SEO best practices (on-site SEO). We will soon offer external SEO services.
Basic on-page SEO is included. Ongoing SEO plans (like blog writing, link building, etc.) will be available soon.
Yes - when done right and consistently. It’s not instant, but over time it drives sustainable traffic and results.
Most businesses see progress in ~6 months. The more competitive your niche, the longer it may take. We will work with you proactively to get the best results.
Yes — we submit your site to Google Search Console and index it for visibility.
Yes — we’ll set up tracking for you and can send monthly reports if you’re on the Growth plan.
You can email us at James@monumentalwebdesign.com. Most changes are completed within 1–2 business days.
Once you’ve approved the final design, we’ll launch your site live and provide ongoing support if you’re on a plan.
If you're on a support plan, we handle updates for you. If not, we allow free edits for the first 30 days. After that, you can add a support plan ($50/month) to make updates.

Most requests are handled within 1–2 business days.
Email is best so we can track and resolve issues efficiently, but we're always happy to schedule a call if needed.
