Ben Sayers Web Design Studio

Howell, MI. Lifelong local. Your neighbor.

I've lived in Livingston County almost my entire life. When I build a website for a SE Michigan business, I'm not researching what your audience cares about. I already know. I shop where they shop. I drive the same roads.

Your customers are my neighbors.

Your website is the second opinion on every referral you get.

Someone hears you're good, then pulls you up at 9pm to be sure. Sparrow Contracting in Fenton had the reputation - they needed a site that backed it up and loaded fast on a phone, because that's where it gets judged.

So I built one. Mobile-first, clear service scope, real project photography, an easy path to get in touch, and local SEO tuned for Fenton and Genesee County.

N° 05 for 2026. Live now at sparrowbuilding.com.

If your site doesn't match the quality of your work, that gap is quietly costing you jobs. I build custom websites for small businesses across SE Michigan - no templates, no page builders. Start a project at bsayers.com/contact/

Fast to load. Fast to find. Fast to convert.

The average small-business website takes six seconds to load on mobile. Mine load in under one. That's the difference between a customer who books and a customer who bounces.

Three seconds. Then they're gone.

One person. One studio. One job at a time.

No account managers. No project managers. No middlemen. When you hire me, you get me - the person who writes every line of code, answers your emails, and ships the work.

You always know who's working on it.

Built once. Yours forever. No subscriptions.

Most small-business websites are built on tools that cost the owner $40 to $80 every month, forever. I don't do that. You pay once. You own everything. No monthly fee, ever.

Built like it matters. Because it does.

No templates. No page builders. No exceptions.

Every site I ship is hand-coded. Custom CSS. Custom PHP. Custom CMS. Not because it's harder. Because it's better.

Faster sites. Real ownership. Builds that still work in 2031.

A new website for Rudolph Technology Associates, a managed IT firm serving small businesses around Ann Arbor and the broader Midwest.

The previous site undersold the team. The new one leads with clarity: services, fit, trust signals, and an easy path to a first call. Built mobile-first on ProcessWire. Fast load, structured data, and an integrated articles section for ongoing technical content.

IT companies sit in an awkward spot online - too technical for prospects, too plain for technical buyers. The fix is a site that earns trust without showing off.

A custom staff app, built alongside K Bella's salon website in Brighton, MI.

Salons run on a hundred small coordination tasks - scheduling, tips, supply tracking, team comms, training - and most patch it together with group chats and sticky notes. K Bella wanted something better, so I built it for them.

The portal is login-gated, mobile-first, and built on ProcessWire alongside their public site. Both share the same backend, so updates in one place flow everywhere.

A good website is the front door. A custom app on top of it multiplies the value.

Welcome to the studio.

I'm Ben Sayers, a solo web designer building custom websites for small businesses across SE Michigan. No templates. No page builders. No bloated themes.

Every project starts at zero and gets built around the business it serves. Mobile-first. Fast. Structured for search visibility from day one.

Over the next few weeks, I'm posting case studies from 2026. Different industries - all live.

N° 01 is the studio itself: bsayers.com. Built on ProcessWire, polished down to the component.

Cannabis dispensary websites usually look one of two ways: generic stoner aesthetic, or sterile enterprise portal. Neither fits a local shop with character.

Herbal Solutions in Ypsilanti needed something in between. Warm, confident, compliant. A site that shows the shop itself is the reason to drive past the competitors.

Built custom on ProcessWire. Mobile-first. Age verification, menu integration, and optimized for Ypsi + Ann Arbor area search.

Cannabis is one of the toughest verticals for marketing: strict ad rules, strict content rules. Your website has to do the work that other channels can't.
