Hiring a web designer should not mean a ticket system and a two-week wait. Broad Lantern Media is a website designer based in Mount Pocono, working with businesses across Monroe County and the Poconos. You get one point of contact, a site you own, and a designer who picks up the phone.
Every site we build is designed and coded by hand on WordPress, without a drag-and-drop page builder. That takes more skill than assembling a template, and it is why our sites load fast and stay easy to change years later.
We also write our own WordPress plugins for SEO audits, internal linking, and rank tracking, and we run them on our own site before using them on yours. You can read how we built it in our web design case study.
Most of our work is for home service companies and local shops, so we know what those sites need: a phone number that is always one tap away, a page for every town you serve, and a quote form short enough that people finish it. See the full list on our web design services page.
All three can work. The right one depends on how much the website matters to your business and how much of your own time you want to spend on it.
Website builders are cheap and quick to start. The cost is your time, a design that looks like many others, and limits you hit once you need service-area pages or real search visibility. A fair choice for a brand-new business testing an idea.
Often the lowest price for custom work, and you deal with one person. Ask what happens if they get busy or move on, and whether they handle search and upkeep or only the design.
This is us. You still get one point of contact, plus local SEO, ads, and support under one roof, so the site and the marketing are built to work together.
Use this list with any website designer you are considering, including us.
With us, the person you speak with stays your point of contact from the first call to launch. Nothing is handed to someone you never meet.
Yes. The domain, the site, and every account are set up in your name. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you.
WordPress. It runs on any host, any developer can work on it, and you can log in and make edits yourself.
Yes. Our portfolio has case studies that explain what was built and why, not only screenshots.
Use the instant quote calculator for an estimate. The final price is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Most builds go live in 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff, depending on how quickly we receive your content and how many pages you need.
Every site includes an on-page SEO foundation. Ongoing work to rank in the map results is a separate service, explained on our local SEO services page.
Three months of post-launch support is included, and you can keep working with us after that or manage the site yourself.

Look at sites they have actually built, ask who will do the work, and confirm you will own the finished site. A local web designer should be able to show you real projects, give you a written price, and meet or call when you need them. The questions higher up this page are a good checklist for any designer you talk to.

A web designer plans how the site looks and how visitors move through it. A web developer writes the code that makes it work. On a small business site you want both skills in one place, which is how we work: the site is designed and coded by hand on WordPress.
