Drag the handle

Same business. Two very different first impressions.

Plenty of local sites still look like the left side: a stock banner, a wall of text, and a phone number buried near the bottom. On a phone, visitors give up in seconds.

About Belmont

A river town that's filling up fast

Belmont started out as Garibaldi Station, a stop on the railroad. It was renamed in 1883 for the New York banker August Belmont and became a town in 1895. The monks of Belmont Abbey have been here even longer: the college they run was founded in 1876.

The town sits on a strip of land between the Catawba River and its South Fork, where both widen into arms of Lake Wylie. Charlotte is about 12 miles east and Gastonia about 9 miles west, with I-85 and NC 273 tying it all together. That location is why the population jumped from 10,076 in 2010 to 15,010 in 2020.

  • Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden covers 380 acres; its first gardens opened in 1999
  • Textile mills built the town before most of that work moved overseas
  • New neighborhoods keep bringing people who need a plumber, a dentist or a roofer, and don't know who to ask

Good questions

Asked a lot, answered straight

Are you actually in Belmont?

No. Our office is in Mooresville, and we'd rather say that than rent a mailbox on Main Street. Most of the work happens on the phone and by email, and Roger drives down to Gaston County when sitting across a table helps.

How long until my new site is up?

Around a week for a small site and two to three weeks for a larger one. The biggest variable is how fast we get your photos and your notes on the draft.

Is the website mine?

Yes, all of it: the domain, the writing and the pages. We host it so it stays quick, backed up and patched.

Do you use WordPress or Wix?

Neither. Each page is coded by hand. There are no plugins to update and no login page for bots to hammer, which keeps the site fast and hard to break.

Is your website helping or just sitting there?

Send Roger the link. He'll look at it on his phone like a Belmont customer would, search for you the way they would, and email back the one change he'd make first. It's free, and nobody will chase you afterward.
