Charleston is a hard place to look average.

This city hosts close to eight million visitors a year and runs one of the most design-literate small-business economies in the Southeast. Your customers spend their day walking past storefronts on King Street, eating at restaurants with better branding than most national chains, and staying in rentals photographed like magazine spreads. Then they open your website.

That's the real competition. Not the other contractor in your trade, but the standard your customer already carries around in their head. A stock template with a stock photo of a handshake tells them something about you before they read a word, and it isn't good.

We build custom, which in practice means we start from what your business actually does instead of from a layout someone else designed for a different industry. A Shem Creek restaurant needs the menu and the reservation button above everything else. A Daniel Island professional services firm needs to look established in the first three seconds. An upper-peninsula trade contractor needs a phone number that follows the customer down the page. Those are three genuinely different sites, and no template solves all three.

We're a small studio, so you work directly with the people building your site. There's no account manager relaying messages to a production team in another time zone.

What's included

One price. Everything in it.

Most quotes you'll get around Charleston separate the design fee from hosting, from maintenance, from the inevitable “that's out of scope” invoice six weeks after launch. Ours doesn't. Every site includes all of this, from $199/mo.

  • Full custom design

    Built around your business and your customers. Never a template, never a page-builder theme with your logo dropped in.

  • Mobile-first

    Most Charleston customers find you on a phone, often standing on a sidewalk. That's the screen we design for first.

  • Hosting + weekly backups

    Fast, secure hosting and weekly backups included. No separate hosting invoice, no plugin renewals to chase.

  • Monthly site care

    Security patches, updates, and the small edits every business needs. New hours, new staff, new service. Just email us.

  • Built to be found

    Technical SEO, schema, sitemap, and Google Search Console and GA4 wired in before launch, not bolted on later.

  • You own everything

    The code, the content, the domain. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you. We don't hold anything hostage.

Need e-commerce, booking, or a custom integration? We'll scope and quote it on the call so there are no surprises later.

How it works

Three steps, about three weeks.

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    Fifteen minutes, no slide deck. You tell us what you do, who you serve, and what your current site never got right. We tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.

  2. 2

    Content and design

    We write the copy with you and design the whole site as a system. You walk through a clickable prototype and give notes before a single line of code is written.

  3. 3

    Build, launch, and stay

    We build it, review it with you twice, then ship it. After launch we handle hosting, security, and edits every month so the site keeps working without you thinking about it.

Since using 1507 Solutions, I have received a dramatic increase in leads. The new website has made a huge difference. The process of having the new website established was extremely quick and efficient. Would highly recommend.

I was just about to sign an agreement that was 50% more and I was told to speak with Josh before I did. The process was easy… Time tables met and now we are working together to market my services. 100 percent happy.

Common questions

What Charleston businesses ask us.

How much does a website cost in Charleston, SC?+
Around Charleston, a small-business site from a local designer typically runs somewhere between $2,500 and $8,000 up front, and agencies quoting custom builds often start near $5,000. We work differently: our sites start at $199/mo with no design cost up front and no billing until your site is actually live. You get a firm number on the discovery call before any work starts, and it doesn't move.
How long does a website take to build?+
About three weeks for most Charleston small-business sites. Larger builds with e-commerce, booking systems, or heavy custom functionality can run six to eight weeks. You get a firm timeline on the discovery call, and if your current site is live we keep it running until the new one is ready, so you never go dark.
Do I own my website?+
Yes, completely. The code is yours, the content is yours, the domain stays in your name. Some agencies build on proprietary platforms you can never leave. We don't. If we ever part ways, you take the whole site with you.
Will my website work on phones?+
Yes, and it's the first thing we design. Most local searches around Charleston happen on a phone, so we design the mobile layout before the desktop one rather than shrinking a desktop site down and hoping. Every build is tested on real screen sizes before launch.
Can you redesign my existing site or move it off WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?+
Yes, and that's most of what we do. We move your existing content over, set up 301 redirects so you keep the search rankings you've already earned, and launch the new site with no downtime. Migrations are the most common project we take on.
Do you handle maintenance after launch?+
That's the whole model. Hosting, security patches, backups, plugin and framework updates, and small content edits are all included in the monthly. There's no separate maintenance retainer and no surprise invoice when something needs fixing.
Will my site actually show up on Google?+
Every build ships with the technical foundation: clean structure, schema markup, a sitemap, fast load times, and Google Search Console and GA4 connected. That's what makes a site eligible to rank. Actually competing for local Charleston searches also takes Google Business Profile work, local content, and time, which is what our SEO service handles on top of the build.
Do you only work with Charleston businesses?+
No. We're based in Charleston and a lot of our clients are local, but we've built and managed sites for small businesses around the country since 2019. If you're outside the Lowcountry, everything works the same way, just over video instead of coffee.
