Your website looks fine, yet few calls come in, and the inquiries that do arrive sit in an inbox or WhatsApp until they go cold. We are Archaeo Agency LLC, registered in Denver, Colorado, and we build WordPress business websites for US businesses. This guide shows how we treat the site as the front end of an inquiry system. It gets found, builds trust and captures the inquiry. Then a CRM and instant replies follow up. Standard scopes typically go live in about 21 days.
Key takeaways
- Archaeo Agency LLC is a Denver-based web development agency founded in 2024.
- Named credentials include Google Cloud Partner, AWS Partner, and verified Clutch, DesignRush, Trustpilot and Upwork profiles.
- Standard sites typically take about 21 days, with pricing as a fixed itemised quote and interest-free installments.
- A site works when it is found, easy to contact and followed up fast.
- ADA information here is general only; ask a qualified legal professional.
What our business websites for US companies include
One Clutch survey from August 2025 found that 83% of small businesses have a website. That is a vendor survey, and other sources report lower numbers. Leadity’s Google Maps data, for example, shows 35.9% of about 2.78 million listed businesses with no website. No US government survey counts this, so figures vary by source. Whatever the exact share, a site alone does not bring clients in. What happens to each inquiry matters just as much.
Pages and structure
A standard WordPress business website gives each main service its own page, plus the pages people expect: home, about and contact. A visitor should know within about five seconds what you do, where you work and how to reach you. Common checklists advise real photos instead of stock images, and we suggest the same wherever you have them. You can see the full range on our services page.
Lead capture and booking
Good website lead capture is simple. Keep forms short, since every extra required field can cost you an inquiry. Add tap-to-call on mobile and online booking where it fits, and give each page one main action.
Speed, mobile and technical basics
Google’s “good” thresholds for Core Web Vitals are an LCP of 2.5 seconds or less, an INP of 200 milliseconds or less and a CLS of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of real visits. In plain English: the page loads fast, responds quickly to taps and does not jump around. For more detail, see this guide to Core Web Vitals.
Technical basics that belong on any business site:
- Unique page titles and descriptions
- Alt text on images
- A sitemap submitted in Google Search Console
- LocalBusiness structured data
- HTTPS on every page
Who this helps across the USA
We work mainly with businesses of 5 to 50 people. A common problem at this size is growth that depends on word of mouth, with follow-up that depends on luck. A steadier flow of inquiries usually needs a site that captures them and a process that answers them quickly.
Clinics, law and service firms, schools and local stores
This work is aimed at clinics, law and service firms, schools, stores and local services. We are registered in Denver, Colorado, and we also serve clients in the Gulf (Saudi Arabia and the UAE), the UK and Pakistan.
When a redesign makes more sense than a new build
If you already have a site with search rankings worth keeping, a redesign may fit better. We set up a new structure, move your content and add redirects so existing rankings are kept. If you are weighing platforms, read WordPress versus a custom CMS.
Bilingual English and Arabic option
If you have Arabic-speaking customers, we can build an Arabic-first, right-to-left site with an English twin. A bilingual Arabic English website lets each group read in the language they prefer. For Gulf clients, pricing can be shown in SAR or AED.
How the work is done, step by step
Here is the typical flow for a standard scope. Your own plan may differ, and the 21-day timeline is not a guarantee. Larger scopes take longer.
Planning: scope, quote, structure and content
- Step 1, scope: we talk through your business and agree what the site needs to do. You can start by asking for a free website demo.
- Step 2, fixed itemised quote: you see what each part costs before work begins.
- Step 3, structure and content: we plan the pages, one per main service, and gather your text and photos.
Build, connect and test
- Step 4, build on WordPress: we build the pages, forms and booking.
- Step 5, connect: forms feed your CRM and trigger instant replies, so no inquiry sits unanswered.
- Step 6, test: pages and forms are checked on phone and desktop before launch.
Launch day checks
Checklists for small business sites commonly recommend these checks at launch. For more on the wider process, see this guide to making a small business website.
- Test the contact form end to end, from submit to reply
- Make the phone number tap-to-call
- Verify Google Search Console and submit the sitemap
- Claim your Google Business Profile
- Take a backup that can be restored
After launch, a monthly care plan covers hosting, daily backups, weekly updates, security and uptime monitoring.
What happens after someone fills in the form
Most website pages stop at the form. For a business owner, that is where the real work starts. An inquiry that sits in an inbox or a WhatsApp thread goes cold fast.
One pipeline in a small business CRM
Every inquiry from your site is saved in one place, in a small business CRM pipeline. No notebook, no spreadsheet, no relying on someone’s memory. You can see who asked, what they asked for, and what stage they are at.
Instant WhatsApp and email replies
The moment a form is sent, the person gets a reply. With WhatsApp automation for business, that can be a message on the app they already use, plus an email. Your team then picks up a conversation that has already started.
Speed matters here. A Harvard Business Review audit of 2,241 US companies found an average first reply of 42 hours. Only 37% replied within an hour, and 23% never replied. That study is from 2011, so treat it as dated. Read the lead response time research for context, then measure your own response time.
Reminders and follow-up
Automated intake also handles the part people forget. Reminders nudge your team, and follow-up messages go out if a lead has not answered.
If you want, an AI chat agent can answer common questions, qualify leads and book calls. We make no promises about results, because they depend on your offer and your team.
For standard scopes, this setup typically takes about 5 days. See our CRM, WhatsApp and AI chat agent setup.
What affects time and cost
We do not publish set prices, because projects differ. These are the things that move the timeline and the final quote:
- Number of pages and services
- A bilingual build
- A WooCommerce store or online booking
- Integrations such as CRM and WhatsApp
- How ready your content and photos are
- How quickly feedback comes back
- Redirects, if this is a redesign
Fixed itemised quote and interest-free installments
Our pricing is a fixed, itemised quote, so you see what each part costs before work begins. We offer interest-free installments, in line with our Shariah-compliant approach. We also only work with businesses whose products and services are halal.
For market context only, published US guides vary widely. One gives $2,000 to $8,000 for a 5 to 10 page site and treats maintenance as a separate yearly cost. See that published US cost guide. This is not our pricing. For more on how costs break down, read what web development really costs.
Hosting and care plans
A site needs ongoing care. Our hosting and care plans cover hosting, daily backups, weekly updates, security, and uptime monitoring with fixes, billed monthly. We say more in our notes on website maintenance for small businesses.
What to ask any provider
- What exactly is itemised, and what is not?
- Who owns the site, the domain and the accounts?
- What happens after launch, and who fixes problems?
Getting found, and accessibility basics
Local search basics
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. You cannot change distance, so local SEO comes down to building relevance and prominence.
That starts with a complete Google Business Profile, local keywords on your service pages, and schema that tells search engines what your business is. Our local SEO foundation typically takes about 7 days for standard scopes. We cannot promise rankings.
Accessibility: general information only
This is general information, not legal advice. Please ask a qualified professional what applies to your business.
According to one industry guide, the ADA names no technical standard for private business websites. Courts and settlements commonly reference WCAG 2.1 Level AA as a working benchmark, and there is no small-business exemption. The binding WCAG 2.1 AA rule from the US Department of Justice (Title II) covers state and local government, not private businesses.
Some basic fixes help every visitor:
- Enough colour contrast between text and background
- Alt text for images
- Menus and forms that work with a keyboard
- Descriptive link text, not “click here”
Overlay plugins are widely considered insufficient on their own, so fix the site itself.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a business website?
A standard business website typically goes live in about 21 days, and a landing page in about 7. These are typical timelines, not a guarantee. Page count, how ready your content is, bilingual needs, integrations and how quickly you send feedback all affect the schedule.
How much does a business website cost?
Published guides vary widely, so we don’t quote a market average as our price. Our pricing is a fixed, itemised quote with interest-free installments, so you see what each part costs before you start. Hosting and care plans are billed monthly.
Can my website connect to a CRM, WhatsApp or online booking?
Yes. Each site can be connected to a CRM, instant replies on WhatsApp and email, reminders and online booking. Setup typically takes about 5 days.
Can I keep my search rankings if I redesign my current site?
We plan the new structure, move your content and set up redirects so your existing rankings are kept as far as possible. We can’t guarantee rankings, because search results depend on many factors outside our control.
Does the ADA apply to my business website?
This is general information, not legal advice. The ADA names no technical standard for private business websites. Courts and settlements commonly refer to WCAG 2.1 Level AA as a working benchmark, and the guide we reviewed describes no small-business exemption. The binding WCAG 2.1 AA rule from the US Department of Justice (Title II) covers state and local government, not private businesses. That guide is not a legal authority, so please ask a qualified legal professional how accessibility rules apply to your business.
A site that is found, easy to use and followed up
A business website works when people can find it, contact you easily and get a fast reply. Clear service pages, a short form and a connected CRM do most of that work.
Timelines in this article are typical for standard scopes. Pricing is a fixed, itemised quote with interest-free installments, and we work only with halal businesses. We don’t promise leads or revenue. We build the system so no inquiry is left sitting unanswered.
