100s of Duda Sites Built in 2019
Web Design Services
A Website That Actually Works for Your Business
Custom-designed, built to rank, and hosted at enterprise speed. Whether you're starting from scratch or ready for a real upgrade, I handle every piece: design, SEO, hosting, and content, so you can focus on running your business.
The Problem
Most websites look fine and do nothing
You're paying for a site that sits there. Traffic trickles in, visitors bounce, the phone stays quiet. The design might even look polished, but if it isn't structured for search engines, built for speed, and written to convert, it is just an expensive placeholder.
A great website is three things at once: a sales tool, a search engine asset, and a first impression that closes. Most builders pick one and ignore the other two. That's the gap I fill.
I build websites from the ground up to rank, load fast, and turn visitors into leads. Every project gets professional design, SEO-optimized content, enterprise-grade hosting, and a reputation layer that keeps working long after launch.
What's Included
Everything your website needs, handled in one place
Every engagement covers the full stack. You are not stitching together a designer, an SEO consultant, a hosting vendor, and a copywriter. One person handles all of it, which means nothing falls through the cracks and nothing gets blamed on someone else.
Free Mock Up
Before you spend a dollar, I build a working mockup of your site so you see exactly what you are getting before the project starts. No guessing, no generic demos, no commitment until you are ready.
Custom Web Design
I design every site around your brand, your customers, and your goals. You have full control over the direction, and I bring the design expertise and Duda platform mastery to execute it cleanly.
Hosting
Every site is hosted on Amazon Web Services, the same infrastructure that powers Netflix and NASA, guaranteeing 99.99% uptime and serious load speeds.
SEO
Search engine optimization is not bolted on after the fact. It is built into the structure, metadata, and page architecture from day one so your site launches ready to rank.
Content
I write high-intent copy designed to rank for the searches that matter to your business: the ones from people ready to buy, book, or call.
Reputation
I build a reputation layer directly into your site, collecting new reviews, monitoring what comes in, and displaying your best social proof to build trust the moment a visitor lands.
Why Garrett Handley
Why clients hire me
Agencies bill for overhead. Template builders sell you a tool and wish you luck. I am one person who knows this platform and this process cold, which means faster builds, cleaner communication, and no hand-offs where things get lost.
300+ Sites Built on Duda
I have personally designed and built more than 300 websites since 2019. I know the platform's edge cases, its performance levers, and the build patterns that get results. Not from a course, but from repetition on real client projects.
Certified and Credentialed
I hold the Duda Platform Specialist and Duda Web Design certifications, and I am a Google Partner. These are not vanity badges. They represent documented platform mastery and accountability to real performance standards.
US-Based, Same-Day Communication
You get a native English communicator working in your timezone. No overnight lag on revision requests. No translation layer on feedback. When something needs to move fast, it moves.
One Person, Full Accountability
You are not dealing with a project manager who hands work to a designer who hands it to a developer. One person owns the brief, the build, the revisions, and the launch. That accountability eliminates the delays and the finger-pointing that kills timelines at bigger shops.

The Process
From first conversation to live site:
here is how it goes
01
Free Mockup
Before anything is agreed to, I build a mockup of your site. You see the design, feel the direction, and decide if we are the right fit, with nothing on the line.
02
Brief and Strategy
We align on your goals, your brand, your customers, and your competitive landscape. I bring the SEO strategy; you bring the business knowledge. Together, we set the direction.
03
Design and Build
I build your site on Duda, hosted on AWS, with SEO baked in from the first page. You review at key milestones, revisions are included, and nothing goes live until it is right.
04
Launch and Grow
Your site goes live. Ongoing edits, content, SEO, and reputation management keep it climbing. This is not a set-it-and-forget-it relationship. I stay involved as your site grows.

Slide title
"Garrett was the first freelancer I've ever hired for a project on Upwork and he set the bar really high. Response times for work updates and communication were always extremely quick and any issues he resolved very fast. He knew quite a bit about SEO and how to structure my new business website in a way that I hadn't thought of. I'm planning to send more work to Garrett and refer him to some of my other friends who run small businesses and need a new digital front door and some web presence."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the free mockup?
I build a real working mockup of your website, designed around your brand, your industry, and your goals, before you commit to anything. You see exactly what the site will look like before the project starts. No placeholder templates, no generic demos.
How long does it take to build a website?
A standard site typically launches within two to four weeks depending on scope, content readiness, and revision cycles. I work one active project at a time so each build gets focused attention and a predictable turnaround.
Do you only build on Duda?
Duda is the platform I know deepest. It is where I have built over 300 sites and hold platform certifications. If you have a compelling reason to use another platform, let's talk about it. But if you want the best result with the fastest delivery, Duda is the answer.
What does SEO built into the build actually mean?
It means keyword research is done before the first page is written, headings are structured for search engines, metadata is optimized at launch, schema markup is added, and internal linking is set up properly. You are not getting a site that needs an SEO audit the week after it goes live. It launches ready to rank.
Where are sites hosted?
All sites are hosted on Amazon Web Services, which provides 99.99% uptime and industry-leading load speeds. Hosting is included.
Can you help with ongoing content and SEO after the site launches?
Yes. I offer ongoing content creation, SEO optimization, reputation management, and site maintenance. Most clients find that continuing the relationship is what turns a good launch into consistent growth over time.
Do you work with other agencies?
Yes. I am a white label Duda fulfillment partner for marketing agencies and web design studios. If you are an agency looking to scale production without adding headcount, that offering has its own page. Your clients never know I exist.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope. The best first step is a quick conversation. I will give you a clear picture of what your project involves and what it costs before any commitment is made. Start with the free mockup and we will talk from there.
