Santa Barbara web design

Web design for Santa Barbara businesses.

Thryve Digital is a Santa Barbara web design studio that builds custom, hand-coded websites for local small businesses. Every site is designed from scratch, fast on phones and set up to be found on Google, with one-time packages from $150 to $500 and an optional $39 a month Care Plan for hosting and updates.

Custom websites, built to be found

A website should bring you customers, not just exist. Here is what every Thryve Digital site is built on.

Designed from scratch
Every site starts from your brand and your customers, never a template. Copywriting is included in every package, so the words are as considered as the design.
Hand-coded and fast
Sites are built with custom, mobile-first code, so pages load quickly on the phones your customers use to find you.
Set up for Google
Every package includes SEO setup. Business Standard and Premium Scale add advanced SEO and Google Business Profile setup, which is how local businesses show up on Google Maps.
Booking built in
A contact form and Calendly booking come with every package, so a visitor who is ready can reach you in one step.
Looked after after launch
The optional Care Plan covers hosting, your domain, backups, security updates and small monthly edits for $39 a month.

FAQ

Santa Barbara web design, answered

Straight answers on cost, timing, hosting and how your site gets found on Google.

How much does a website cost in Santa Barbara?

Thryve Digital websites are a one-time price. The Starter Build is $150 for a one-page custom site, Business Standard is $300 for up to 4 pages, and Premium Scale is $500 for up to 7 pages. The optional Care Plan adds managed hosting, your domain and small monthly edits for $39 a month.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most Thryve Digital websites launch within one week, and simpler sites can be ready in as little as 48 hours. A one-page Starter Build is usually the fastest, while multi-page sites take a little longer because every page is written, designed and reviewed with you. Quick feedback and ready content keep things moving.

Do you handle hosting and domains?

Yes, through the Care Plan. For $39 a month, Thryve Digital manages your hosting and domain, so your site stays online without you dealing with hosting accounts or renewals. Every site launches on your own domain, and the Care Plan can be attached to any package.

What does the Care Plan include?

The Care Plan is $39 a month and covers managed hosting and your domain, up to 3 small content edits per month, uptime monitoring, backups, security updates and priority support. Small edits are text changes, photo swaps and updates. New pages, redesigns and new features are quoted separately.

Are your websites mobile-friendly and set up for Google?

Yes. Every site is mobile responsive and includes SEO setup, so search engines can read and rank it. Business Standard and Premium Scale add advanced SEO setup and Google Business Profile setup, which helps you show up in local searches and on Google Maps. Sites are also built to load fast on phones.

Do you use templates or website builders?

No. Every Thryve Digital site is designed from scratch around your business and built with custom code, not a template or a drag-and-drop builder. That keeps pages fast and lean, and it means the design fits your brand and your customers instead of a theme someone else picked.

Who will I work with?

You work directly with Beck Young, who founded Thryve Digital in Santa Barbara. Beck handles your project from the first conversation to launch, designing and building the site himself, and works with one client at a time. After launch, ongoing support is available through the Care Plan.
