We have worked with Hill Media for several years. They designed our website for our restaurant. Jerad picked up on our personalities and incorporating that into our website. We get so many comments from our customers about how much they love our website. Any updates that I send to them, menu etc, are done in a timely efficient manner. As a small business owner, I highly recommend Hill Media!

Our time working with Hill Media Group has been phenomenal! We were in need of an update for our social media, website, and placement in searches. We wanted to go with someone who was local, so that they could come down and see our operation in person and help build our website and social media platform based on what we offer. Jerad with Hill Media Group made the process super easy and it has paid dividends. I can't recommend them enough!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom website cost in Kalispell? +
Custom WordPress websites for Kalispell small businesses typically run between $3,500 and $12,000 depending on scope. A straightforward 5-to-8-page site for a service business usually falls in the $3,500 to $6,500 range. Sites with e-commerce, custom functionality, membership features, or extensive content can run higher. We build custom proposals after a Digital Growth Strategy Session so you get a real number, not a range.
How long does it take to build a new website? +
Most Kalispell website projects run four to eight weeks from contract signing to launch. The main variable is content — projects where the client has copy, photography, and brand assets ready move fastest. Projects that require us to produce content, shoot photography, or work through significant strategic decisions take longer. We can accommodate rush timelines when needed, but we don't recommend it.
Why do you build on WordPress instead of Squarespace, Wix, or Shopify? +
WordPress gives small businesses something the hosted platforms don't: you own your site. Your content, your plugins, your data, your hosting relationship — all portable, all under your control. Platforms like Squarespace and Wix are fine for very simple sites but become limiting as your business grows. For e-commerce, we often recommend WooCommerce on WordPress over Shopify for clients who want long-term control over their store. For simple online storefronts with low technical requirements, Shopify can be the right choice — we'll tell you honestly.
Can you redesign my existing website, or do I need to start over? +
It depends on the foundation. If your current site is on WordPress with a reasonably clean theme and no major technical debt, we can often refresh it significantly without a full rebuild. If it's on a platform we don't recommend, has significant performance problems, or was built on a proprietary theme that can't be cleanly modified, a rebuild is usually cheaper in the long run than trying to repair it. We'll audit your current site before recommending either direction.
Will my new website be mobile-friendly and fast? +
Yes. Every site we build is responsive, tested on mobile devices, and optimized for Google's Core Web Vitals. Performance is especially important for Kalispell businesses targeting the summer tourism window — visitors searching on mobile devices from gas stations and hotel lobbies will bounce from a slow site within seconds. We build with performance as a design constraint, not an afterthought.
Do you include photography in the website design project? +
We can include commercial photography as part of your website design project if you're located in the Flathead Valley. Adding professional photography of your actual location, team, and work to the site dramatically improves credibility and conversion rates compared to stock imagery. Photography is typically quoted separately so you can decide the scope, but we strongly recommend it for locally-focused businesses.
What happens after the website launches? +
We hand off a site that's stable and documented, and most clients move into a monthly maintenance relationship covering updates, backups, security, and small content changes. Clients who want more strategic ongoing support often add SEO, email marketing, or content development on top. The core distinction we draw is between maintenance (keeping the site working) and marketing (making the site produce leads) — both are valuable, and they're priced separately so you only pay for what you need.
