Websites with their own character

Their business.
Their kind of website.

A restoration company and an accounting firm need different things from their websites. The design should show it.

The thinking behind the work

Web design with a job to do.

A good website looks like your business and helps people choose it. We bring design, development and search foundations together.

01

A design that feels like you

Use your brand, real people and work to build a website customers recognize and trust.

02

A better mobile experience

Readable pages, clear navigation and useful forms, designed for phones first and checked across screen sizes.

03

SEO built into the structure

Plan page topics, headings, internal links and metadata. Check crawlability and preserve useful existing URLs.

04

An easier path to contact

Put answers and calls to action where customers need them. Remove unnecessary steps between interest and inquiry.

Working with Heart City

Your website.
Built together.

You know your business. We bring the design, development and search expertise. The best work comes from putting those together.

  • See the direction early.

    Work through the structure and mobile design before the full build.

  • Know what we’re checking.

    Navigation, forms, content and technical SEO all belong in the launch plan.

  • Have a plan for what comes next.

    Agree on editing, maintenance and support so the website keeps working for you.

A few things you might wonder

Let’s clear a few things up.

Will a redesign affect our SEO?

It can if useful pages, URLs or technical signals are lost. We review the existing site and plan content, redirects and metadata before launch.

Can we update the site ourselves?

We’ll agree on the content management setup and what your team needs to edit. Ongoing support is available for work you’d rather hand off.

Can you help with content and photography?

We’ll plan the content and identify the assets needed. Your real people, work and brand materials come first; any new photography or content production belongs in the agreed scope.

What does a website cost, and how long does it take?

Page count, content, integrations and review rounds all affect the work. We’ll define the scope, price and milestones before the project starts.

Let's make a plan

Let’s talk about your business.

Tell us what you want to improve with web design. We’ll talk through your goals, the fit and the next steps.

Client story

Custom Business Apps

Custom Tools That Make Business Easier

Sometimes, your business needs more than off-the-shelf software. We develop custom business applications tailored to your exact needs—from internal dashboards and project tools to customer-facing platforms. If you’re managing complex workflows, tracking data, or streamlining operations, we’ll build a solution that fits and scales as you grow.

Email Campaigns

Stay Top of Mind—and In the Inbox

Email marketing still offers one of the highest returns on investment, and we know how to do it right. We design, write, and manage email campaigns that grow your list, engage your audience, and drive conversions. With compelling copy, clean layouts, and strategic automation, we help your brand stand out in crowded inboxes and keep your audience clicking.

Web Design and Development

Websites That Work for You

Your website should be your hardest-working employee. We design and develop custom websites that are fast, responsive, and built for SEO performance. From intuitive navigation to beautiful design and functional backends, our websites are tailored to support your business goals—whether you’re selling products, booking services, or sharing your story.

Branding

Build a Brand People Remember

Your brand is more than a logo—it’s the full experience your audience has with your business. Our branding services help you define who you are with custom logo design, color palettes, typography, messaging, and brand strategy. Whether you’re launching something new or evolving your identity, we create a cohesive, authentic brand that sticks.

Social Media Management

Build a Brand That Shows Up and Stands Out

Staying consistent on social media takes time, strategy, and creativity. We handle everything from content planning and design to posting and community engagement—so you don’t have to. Our social media management helps you stay top-of-mind, grow your audience, and build real relationships across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more.

Content Creation

Bring Your Brand to Life with Professional Photography

Stock photos don’t build trust—authentic images do. We offer professional photography services tailored to your brand, capturing real moments that show the people and personality behind your business. From team headshots and candid office shots to branded social media content and group photos, we help you create a visual identity that feels human, polished, and professional. Whether you’re updating your website or refreshing your socials, we make your business look its best—and feel more real.

Struggling to get seen online? Our SEO services are designed to improve your visibility across Google and other search engines. From on-page SEO and keyword research to local SEO and technical fixes, we build a solid foundation that helps your website rise in the rankings. We focus on sustainable growth that attracts high-intent visitors—so your business shows up when it matters most.

Online Ads

Targeted Ads That Deliver Real ROI

Want faster results from your marketing? Our online advertising services help you reach the right people at the right time.

HI MY NAME IS

Ryleigh Palmer

(Sales*)

Hi! I’m Ryleigh, and I grew up in a small town just outside of Athens, Georgia. I’ve called Middle Georgia home for the past three years, where I work full-time as a park ranger with the National Park Service—helping protect natural spaces and connect people with the outdoors. At Heart City Marketing, I lead sales, partnering with local businesses to match them with the right tools and creative strategies to grow. I’ve always had a heart for small towns and strong communities, and being part of Heart City Marketing lets me support the kind of places that shaped me. When I’m not working, I’m usually out on a trail, hanging with my dog, or catching up on a good podcast.

Hi! I’m Shane, a college student currently working toward my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I’m passionate about building practical, user-friendly technology, and at Heart City, I contribute to web app development—bringing ideas to life through clean, functional code. I love seeing how small improvements can make a big impact, and I’m always learning something new along the way. Outside of work and school, you’ll usually find me outdoors, whether it’s fishing, camping, or planning my next travel adventure. Being active and staying curious are a big part of who I am, both in and out of tech

Lauren McMurray

(Branch Manager*)

Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve called Georgia home my whole life. After starting school at Georgia College & State University, I settled in Middle Georgia about four years ago. At Heart City, I lead community outreach and help guide the creative direction behind our branding and website design. I’ve always loved connecting with people, but it was watching my dad grow a small business—without any marketing support that really ignited my passion for helping other entrepreneurs share their stories. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen baking, tending to my patio jungle, or out walking my dog.

HI MY NAME IS

Grace Cohan

(Branch Manager*)

Hi, I’m Grace—your go-to social media guru, Canva enthusiast, and drone pilot with a serious eye for the perfect shot. I grew up in the small town of Pittsfield, MA, and made my way down south to earn my BA in Communication, Media, and Culture from the University of Tampa. I’m especially passionate about helping small businesses grow and connect with their communities through smart, heartfelt marketing. When I’m not setting up email campaigns, designing banners, or jumping into whatever creative project’s up next, you can probably find me binge-watching the newest reality TV show or soaking up the sun by the pool. Fun fact: I’m an identical twin!
