Web design in New Jersey

We're a small studio in central New Jersey. We design and build fast websites, set up the local search side so people nearby can find you, and hand you a site you can edit yourself. A fixed quote before we start, and everything is in your name.

The problem

Most local businesses who ask about a new site have one of these. Each one can be fixed, often without starting from nothing.

  • “Someone searches for what we do in our town and finds three competitors before us.”

    Pages written around the services you offer and the towns you cover, with titles and business details search engines can read.

  • “Our Google listing shows old hours and a phone number we stopped using.”

    A Google Business Profile that matches the site, with the same name, number, hours and service area everywhere.

  • “The site was built years ago and looks broken on a phone.”

    Designed for phones first and tested on a slow mobile connection, since that's where most local searches start.

  • “Changing our hours or adding a photo means emailing someone and waiting.”

    A simple editor for text, photos and hours, so you can change them yourself and see it live right away.

  • “People visit the site, then call to ask things that should already be on it.”

    Services, areas you cover, hours and how to book, on the page where customers look for them.

  • “We pay a monthly website fee and still don't own the site.”

    Code in a repository you own, with hosting and the domain on accounts in your name, paid to the providers at cost.

What people ask for

Each card leads to the full service page. The Websites page has a demo you can restyle and edit.

Working with us

Senova was founded by Rob La Gravenis, who designs and builds the sites himself.

  • We can meet in person

    If you're in central New Jersey, we can come by and see how customers find you today before writing the scope.

  • Quick on a phone

    Lean pages and compressed photos, checked on a throttled mobile connection before launch.

  • A fixed written quote

    The pages and features, one price and a launch date. It only changes if the scope does, and only with your OK.

  • Previews as it's built

    A private link with the homepage first, then the other pages, so you can say what to change while it's still easy.

  • Usable by everyone

    Readable text, keyboard access and screen reader labels, built in from the start rather than patched on.

  • Yours to keep

    The code, the domain, hosting and your Google accounts are in your name. If we stop working together, nothing goes with us.

Our work

No client work is shown here yet. These are our own projects, each with a write-up of how it was made.

Process

The same four steps for every project. For a small marketing site, build usually takes a few weeks.

  1. Step 1: Tell us what you need

    Fill in the two-minute brief or book a short call. Plain words are fine; you don't need a spec.

  2. Step 2: Get a fixed quote

    A written scope, a fixed price and a dated plan. Free, with no obligation to go ahead.

  3. Step 3: We build, you review weekly

    A private preview link that grows every week. You click through it and tell us what to change.

  4. Step 4: Launch and look after

    We go live on accounts in your name, with optional ongoing help if you want it.

Your quote

Every website gets its own written quote with the pages, features, one fixed price and a launch date. No figures until we know what you need.

  • The scope

    What we'll build, page by page or screen by screen, and what's out of scope, in plain words.

  • A fixed price

    One price for the agreed scope. It only changes if the scope does, and only with your OK.

  • A dated timeline

    When the first preview arrives, when each part lands and when you go live.

  • What you'll own

    The code, the design and every account, in your name from day one.

  • Running costs, itemised

    Hosting, email and any other services listed one by one, paid to each provider at cost.

FAQ

It depends on the number of pages, how much writing help you need, and extras like booking or payments. We don't publish prices because two sites are rarely alike. You get a written quote with one fixed price for the agreed pages and features.
