Two ways to move forward
Start fresh. Or build on what you've got.
You don't need to replace a website that already works. Choose the path that makes sense for your business right now.
More capability. Same website.
Already have a site you like? Add lead capture, appointment booking, or an AI front desk without paying for a full rebuild or replacement hosting.

See the right approach
For a new website, I'll put together a free, no-obligation demo before you pay. For add-ons, we'll review your existing setup and what can be connected.

Why I built this studio
Your Business Deserves a Website That Works.
Professional websites for small businesses — built by one person who actually cares.
Your small business deserves a website that actually works — without the $5,000 agency price tag or a three-month wait.
Some agencies take 60–90 days and charge thousands. DIY builders can leave you with a site that doesn't reflect your business or help customers find you. You shouldn't have to choose between overpaying and under-delivering.
I built Smith Development Labs to fix that. You work directly with me — no account managers, no hand-offs. I design a free demo of your site first. You see it, you approve it, and then you pay. Most new sites can go live in about a week after approval, depending on content and domain setup.
I've helped businesses across the country get online on time and on budget. Clients tell me they value the speed, the price, and knowing they can talk to the person actually building their site.

Meet the person behind the work
No agency maze. Just Mike.
I'm Michael R. Smith, founder of Smith Development Labs. I run this studio from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, and work remotely with small businesses across the country.
Whether we're making your first real website or adding useful tools to the one you already have, you'll work with me directly from the first conversation through launch.

A mix of professional certifications, courses, and hands-on learning. The Google Business Intelligence course shown here is still in progress.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Clear expectations before you commit.
Is the website demo really free?
Yes. If you're considering a new website, I can create a no-obligation design demo so you can see the direction before paying. For add-ons to an existing website, we'll first discuss your current setup and what can be connected; a full website demo isn't part of that path.
Can I keep my current website and domain?
Yes. Existing-site add-ons are intended to work with your current website and hosting, subject to access and compatibility. If you choose a new website instead, you can generally use a domain you own; I'll review the connection with you.
What do the monthly fees cover?
New website plans include the ongoing website service and the capabilities listed in your tier; even Website Essentials includes CRM, booking, and standard (non-AI) chat. Existing-site plans cover the connected tools and service listed in that tier, not your current site's hosting. Neither Essentials plan has SMS, AI, or phone usage charges. In higher tiers, applicable SMS, AI, or phone usage is billed separately at cost and varies with activity.
How long does setup take?
A new website can typically launch in about a week after you approve the design, depending on content and domain readiness. Add-on timing depends on the tools selected and the access available on your existing site; we'll confirm a timeline together.
What access do you need from me?
For a new website, I'll need your business details, content, and access to connect your domain when it's time to launch. For add-ons, I'll review your site's embed options or administrator access and any relevant booking or phone requirements before recommending a setup.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes, we can talk through a higher tier or additional tools as your needs change. Any change in scope and pricing is discussed before work begins.
What happens after I choose a plan?
Email or call me first. We'll confirm fit, scope, any required integrations, and the applicable fees. For new websites, you'll review the free demo before payment; once you approve and payment is arranged, I'll complete the agreed setup and launch. There is no live checkout or connected platform form on this page.
