The Solva standard 01
A good website doesn't just look expensive. It makes choosing you feel right.
Your website has seconds to answer three questions: Am I in the right place? Can I trust this business? What should I do next?
SolvaDesigns builds that decision path into every page—through sharper positioning, editorial design, useful proof, and a clear next step.
Clarity before decoration
Your visitor understands the offer before they admire the details.
Credibility in every scroll
Structure, specificity, and polish make a newer business feel established.
Built to create action
Calls, quote requests, bookings, and visits get an intentional path.
Selected concept work 02
Different businesses.
Distinct identities.
Three concept homepages show the range of a Solva website. Each one begins with a different customer, promise, and desired action—so each one looks and behaves differently.
Concept work is clearly labeled and never presented as commissioned client work.
What Solva builds 03
One cohesive website.
Complete design integration.
Strategy, words, visual direction, development, and domain launch assistance work as one connected job—not five disconnected handoffs.

Designed with taste.
Built with accountability.
“You should never have to wonder who is shaping your site or whether they understand the goal.”
I'm Michael McHenry, owner of SolvaDesigns. I work directly with every business—from the first brief and preview through the build and launch. That keeps communication clear, decisions intentional, and the final work connected to what your business actually needs.

Ask Michael directly ↗01Is the preview really free?+
Yes. For qualified small-business projects, SolvaDesigns creates a tailored homepage direction and mobile view before you sign a build agreement or pay a deposit. It is a design preview—not a finished or transferable website.
02What is included in a website starting at $750?+
A typical starting build includes up to five core pages, custom responsive design, content organization, polished on-page copy, contact forms, foundational technical SEO, performance testing, and launch support. Final pricing depends on scope and functionality.
03How long does a project take?+
Most focused small-business websites are completed in roughly two to four weeks after preview approval, assuming content and feedback arrive on schedule. Your project brief will include a more specific timeline.
04Do you use templates?+
No off-the-shelf theme is reskinned and called custom. SolvaDesigns builds a visual and content system around your business. Reusable development patterns may be used behind the scenes for quality and speed, but the visible direction is tailored.
05Can you help with the words on my site?+
Yes. Clear, persuasive structure and polished website copy are part of the process. You bring the business knowledge; SolvaDesigns shapes it into language your customers can quickly understand.
06Will my website work on phones and show up on Google?+
Every site is built responsive and with solid SEO foundations: useful page structure, metadata, crawlable content, semantic markup, sitemap support, and performance-minded code. Rankings still depend on competition, authority, and ongoing marketing—no responsible studio can guarantee a position.
