Norfolk, Virginia boasts a rich history dating back to the 1600s. Originally established as a trading post, it quickly blossomed into a major port city, fueled by its deepwater harbor and strategic location on the Chesapeake Bay. The city played a significant role in the American Civil War, serving as a vital supply center for the Union Navy. Today, Norfolk thrives as a center for commerce, military presence, and tourism.

However, this growth has brought increased competition, especially for small businesses. With more options vying for customer attention, a strong online presence has become crucial. In today’s digital age, customers turn to the internet first to research products, services, and local businesses. A well-designed website and active social media profiles not only allow small businesses to compete effectively but also establish them as credible and accessible options for potential customers. By embracing the digital landscape, Norfolk’s vibrant small business community can ensure its continued success in this ever-evolving marketplace.

Since 2015, Emerge has provided affordable web design, SEO and digital marketing services to Virginia. Helping small businesses blossom without breaking the bank. [/show_more]

Working with Adam and his team to build the SecureSwipe Payments website was an incredible experience. They were attentive, creative, and efficient every step of the way. Adam really took the time to understand my business and what I wanted to showcase, and his team translated that into a clean, professional, and easy-to-navigate site that I’m proud to share with clients. The communication throughout the project was excellent — they were responsive, open to feedback, and always came back with thoughtful solutions. I truly felt like they were invested in helping my business succeed, not just delivering a website. If you’re looking for a team that combines technical expertise with genuine care for their clients, I highly recommend Adam and his team.

I had an incredible experience with Emerge over the past few months. I needed a website for my small business and contacted Emerge to help with website design. The team at Emerge was professional and thorough and their communication throughout the design process was outstanding. They created a phenomenal product but what really impressed me was how invested they were in helping my business grow. I gained so much more than a website with Emerge, I gained a partnership that I know will provide value to my business for years to come.

Website design questions

How much does a website design cost?

The cost of web design depends on your company’s goals.

Your website design cost is determined on how many pages and features you need. A simple brochure website could need only need a few pages and would take less time to complete than an website that needs to sell multiple products online.

Emerge offers a discovery session to help you build what you need right away. This is a low-cost activity that helps you understand what matters most to your business so you can invest in the most efficient website possible.

What is a discovery session?

Do I have control of my website?

 Absolutely! You paid for it, so you deserve to have ownership of your website without any strings attached.

When your website is ready to launch, you will be trained on how to operate it so you can update your  website without having to depend on us. The training session will be recorded so you can refer back to it to refresh your memory.

If you are too busy or too uncomfortable making changes to your website, we will be available to help via phone or email.

Can you design websites for any industry?

Emerge has years of experience designing websites for many industries. 

From construction to hair salons, Emerge helps create a path to success with our discovery phase.  This activity helps us understand your brand and its industry to design a personalized website that matches your audience and goals.

What is a Discovery Session? →

How long will my website design take?

To be honest, it depends on a few factors:

  • How fast you can respond to us
  • The number of features you want on your website
  • The amount of pages you need for your site
  • Your ability to provide content (pictures and writing the website pages)

For small business owners, providing photos and written content can feel like a homework assignment.

That’s why we offer photo and copywriting services to help you get your website designed faster.

Schedule a consultation today to see how we can help create content for your website.

How do I get my website on Google?

Depending on your industry and services, there are tons of factors that come into play when you are trying to rank your website on search engines.

With Emerge, your website is at least designed to be Google-Friendly through initial search engine optimization (SEO).

If you’re going to spend money on your website, don’t you think your website should at least be ready for Google to see it?

While initial search engine optimization (SEO) is a boost to your website, it’s not a guarantee of first-page rankings. If companies promise you fast, first-page organic rankings for your website, please take caution, because not all that glitters is gold.
