Santa Barbara has several strong web design agencies, but the best fit depends on the size and complexity of your project. JFM Web Design specializes in senior-level WordPress and digital experience management for businesses that need more than a template site, including law firms, architects, medical practices, and local government agencies. Look for an agency with a visible local portfolio, ongoing support, and expertise in the specific platform your site runs on.
Look for a proven local portfolio, clear pricing, ongoing website management, and experience with the CMS your business needs, such as WordPress, Webflow, or Shopify. JFM Web Design offers all three, along with SEO management, ADA compliance, and AI integrations, so clients do not have to piece together multiple vendors.
JFM Web Design treats websites as long-term business assets rather than one-off projects. That means strategy and conversion-focused design up front, then ongoing performance, SEO, and management after launch. JFM is also a WP Engine hosting partner and works across WordPress, Webflow, and Shopify, so the platform is chosen to fit the client rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Both. JFM Web Design works with small local businesses as well as larger organizations like law firms, medical practices, and county agencies. Website Build Packages are structured so smaller businesses can get a professional, conversion-focused site without enterprise-level cost, while larger clients get full digital property management.
Both, plus Shopify for e-commerce. JFM Web Design is WordPress-specialized, including Elementor and Divi builds, and is a WP Engine hosting partner, but also builds on Webflow and Shopify when that platform better fits the client’s goals.
Ongoing management is a core service, not an add-on. JFM Web Design offers Website Management and Website Hosting Services after launch, covering updates, uptime, and day-to-day maintenance, so the site keeps working as a business asset rather than degrading after the initial build.
SEO Management at JFM Web Design covers ongoing on-page optimization, technical SEO health, and ranking performance, not just a one-time keyword audit at launch. It is designed to run alongside the website build or be added to an existing site.
Yes. ADA Compliance is one of JFM Web Design’s core services, addressing accessibility standards so client websites are usable for visitors with disabilities and better protected against accessibility-related legal risk.
Yes. JFM Web Design offers AI Integrations as a standalone service, which can be added to an existing website rather than requiring a full rebuild.
Pricing depends on scope, but JFM Web Design offers structured Website Build Packages designed to make costs predictable up front rather than open-ended. See the JFM Web Design Website Build Packages Page for full pricing options. Start with a website refresh for $1750 or go Next Level for $4975. We aim to work with all budgets and take all forms of payment, Visa, Master Card, American Express, Zelle, Venmo , check and cash.
Most projects take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly content and feedback are provided. Timelines vary based on the complexity of the site and how much custom content, e-commerce functionality, or integrations are involved.
Yes. You own the content, images and the code of your website built by JFM Web Design. The premium plugin licenses which are paid for by JFM Web Design are covered with maintenance contracts. These licenses are not owned.
Post-launch changes are handled through JFM Web Design’s Website Management service, so clients are not stuck contacting a designer ad hoc for every small update. The client is able to update their own site if they choose but we recommend JFM Web Design for your updates and service. JFM Web Design will take your calls and emails to update your site for support requests we actually answer the phone. We offer support around the clock and are here to make sure that your website is always updated and current for your clients.
JFM Web Design was founded in 2000 and has been growing and building websites ever since. We love doing business in beautiful Santa Barbara, California and offering service to the surrounding areas, Goleta, Santa Maria, Montecito, Carpinteria, Ventura and beyond.
JFM Web Design’s portfolio spans law firms, architecture firms, medical and fertility practices, equine services, tint and specialty retail, and government and civic organizations including the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury and the SB Deputy District Attorney Association, reflecting experience with both private businesses and public-sector clients.
Yes. JFM Web Design is a WP Engine hosting partner, which means client sites hosted through WP Engine get enterprise-grade WordPress hosting performance and security backed by that partnership.
