Let’s face it... getting a professional website built from scratch isn’t always easy on the budget, especially for small businesses navigating a challenging economy. Gaslamp Village Media Inc. understands that not every business owner is in a position to invest in a fully custom site. And that’s okay.

In fact, you don’t have to go it alone when using platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify. These DIY website builders offer a great starting point for businesses that need an affordable online presence... without sacrificing functionality or design entirely. But even these tools come with a learning curve, and getting everything just right can be time-consuming and frustrating.

That’s where we come in.

Expert Guidance, without the overhead

Gaslamp Village Media Inc. offers consulting services for budget-conscious small-businesses who want to build their site using a DIY platform, but still want the experience and insight of a professional. Whether you're setting up your first online store or creating a simple brochure-style site, we can help you:

  • Choose the best platform for your needs
  • Select or customize a theme that reflects your brand
  • Structure your pages for clarity and flow
  • Improve your site’s SEO to help customers find you
  • Avoid common design pitfalls that hurt credibility
  • Choose and register the right domain for your business
  • Connect your domain to your website
  • Provide domain-based custom email service for your marketing communications

You’ll get professional insight at a fraction of the cost of a custom build.

Build with confidence

Think of it like building your own home... with an architect checking your plans and a contractor walking you through the tough parts. You’re still in control. You still save money. But you’ll avoid costly mistakes and end up with a polished DIY or templated site you can be proud of.

This isn't about pushing people into high-priced solutions. It's about meeting clients where they are. If a DIY site is the right move for you right now, we want you to succeed with it.

When You're ready to grow, we’re still here

And when the time comes that your business is ready to level up with a fully custom Webflow site—optimized, scalable, and managed by our team... you’ll already have a strong foundation and a trusted partner in your corner.

Gaslamp Village Media Inc., has always put a priority on helping clients and supporting them in the long term.
