Website design in Spokane, $25 a month
Spokane is the shopping and service town for a huge stretch of the Inland Northwest, which means a good share of your customers are driving in from somewhere else. They will not wander past your window; they will look you up first and decide from that. Website design here comes down to one job: putting your hours, your location and what you charge somewhere a stranger can read them in twenty seconds. I build it, put it online and keep it current for $25 a month if you start on or before 30 September 2026.
what the map says
1,432 Spokane businesses the map has no website for
On 28 August 2026, OpenStreetMap listed 1,890 shops, restaurants, hotels and trades inside the Spokane city limits. 458 of them had a website recorded. 1,432 had none, which is 76% of the entries.
I counted map entries and nothing else. I did not contact anyone, I do not publish a list of businesses, and I do not sell data. Count from OpenStreetMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors, data under the ODbL. OpenStreetMap is maintained by volunteers, so the count is certainly incomplete and the real number of businesses in Spokane is at least this high.
Two things worth saying about that figure. It covers the city limits only, so Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Airway Heights and Cheney are not in it at all. And a business with no website recorded on the map is not necessarily a business with no website; some have one and nobody has added it. What the number is good for is the shape of the thing. In a city this size, most of the independents are still reachable only through a phone number and somebody else's listing, and a visitor from Pullman or Sandpoint deciding where to spend an afternoon does not find them.
the trade here
Spokane does not have one high street. It has six.
The neighborhood business districts are the real story here. Old brick storefronts along a few blocks, an anchor or two, and independents doing coffee, food, repair and retail for a loyal local base plus whoever comes in from the county.
That shape changes what a website has to do. A shop on a four-block district is not fighting for passing traffic on a highway strip; it is trying to be the reason somebody drives across town, or drives in from the county, on a particular afternoon. The customer has already decided to come to Spokane. What is undecided is which block, and that decision gets made on a phone in a parked car.
The other thing about Spokane is winter. Trade patterns move a long way between January and July, hours change, some places close a day a week, and a customer who turns up to a dark storefront because the internet said you were open does not come back. Keeping that current is most of what I do after launch, and it is the part that is included rather than billed.
The districts I have in mind
- Kendall Yards sits on the north bank above the river with the Centennial Trail running past it, so the foot traffic is walkers and cyclists as much as drivers, and the trade skews to food, coffee and small offices.
- The Garland District is a compact run of old storefronts around the theater, the sort of block where a barber, a diner and a vintage shop all live off the same handful of corners.
- The South Perry District is small, walkable and food-heavy, with a summer market that brings people who would otherwise never come up the hill.
- Browne's Addition is the old-houses neighborhood next to downtown, dense with renters, which supports cafes and small services rather than destination retail.
who this is for
Who ends up hiring me on this side of the state
- Restaurants and coffee shops. A readable menu with real prices, and hours that are right this week.
- Auto repair and detailing. What you work on, what a job roughly costs, and how far out you are booked.
- Tattoo studios and salons. The artists or stylists, their work, and how somebody gets an appointment.
- Specialty retail and thrift. What you carry, what came in this month, and the hours, because that is the whole question.
- Trades and handymen. The work you take, the area you cover, and a number that gets answered.
the calendar
Event weekends are the test
Spokane's big event weekends pull tens of thousands of visitors downtown, and a visitor with an afternoon free searches for lunch, a haircut or a shop rather than asking anyone.
Bloomsday in May and Hoopfest in June are the two that fill the city, the fair brings the county in during September, and the hockey and university calendars keep smaller waves coming through the rest of the year. None of those people know your name. They type a trade and the word Spokane into a phone, look at whatever comes back, and pick in about forty seconds. If what comes back for you is a listing with old hours and no menu, you were never really in the running.
The practical point is timing. A site takes about a week, so the work for next spring is done in the autumn, not in April. The Spokane offer is open to new subscriptions up to and including 30 September 2026, which puts the decision and the quiet season in the same place.
what I would build
What I would put on your Spokane page
Most Spokane businesses I look at need the same four things and do not have them. A line saying which counties and towns you actually cover, because a customer in Coeur d'Alene or Deer Park needs to know that before he calls. Parking in plain words: whether there is a lot behind the building, whether the street is metered, which block to aim for on Garland or on Perry. Winter hours written out separately from summer hours, because in this city they are not the same, and a wrong time on a Tuesday in January costs you the visit and the customer. And a phone number that dials straight from a phone, ringing during the hours you are genuinely open rather than into a voicemail nobody clears.
Here is a finished example of that, built start to finish: Tallow Creek Auto. The business is invented and the site is a demonstration, not a client of mine.
the Spokane price
$25 a month for your first twelve months, if you start by 30 September 2026.
Three prices, so you can see the whole shape of it at once. $25 a month is the Spokane rate. $30 a month is the promotional price everywhere outside the city pages. $60 a month is the planned price both of them become after the first twelve months.
Monthly
$25 a month for your first twelve months if you start on or before 30 September 2026. Both other prices, in one sentence: the promotional price everywhere outside the city pages is $30 a month, and after twelve months every plan moves to the same standard $60 a month. So the Spokane code is $5 a month off the promotional price for a year, not $35. No setup fee, no contract, and cancelling is free at any time.
- The complete site
- Unlimited changes, usually the same day
- Hosting and web address included
- Promo code SPOKANEWA26, redeemable until 2 October 2026
Yearly
The same thing paid once a year. $250 a year, which works out at $20.83 a month, against the $300 a year promotional price everywhere outside the city pages. That price runs for your first two years if you start on or before 30 September 2026. After that it is the standard $600 a year. Cancelling is free at any time and the site stays online to the end of the year you paid for.
- Everything in the monthly plan
- One payment a year instead of twelve
- Promo code SPOKANEWA26A, redeemable until 2 October 2026
Use a billing link only after your site is finished, you have seen it on your own phone, and you have said yes. Card payment is handled by Stripe and the invoice is sent automatically. The Spokane code is filled in for you, so the Stripe page should read $25 rather than $60 before you confirm. If it does not, stop there and email me. Sales tax is added at checkout in some US states, shown separately before you confirm.
And if you change your mind after paying: you have fourteen days. Say so by email within fourteen days of your first payment and I refund everything, by the same card, even if the site is already live. That is section 3 of the terms.
questions
What Spokane owners ask me.
Will it work properly on a phone?
That is the main thing I build for. Most people find a local business on a phone, standing up, in a hurry. The site loads fast, the phone number is one tap, and the address opens straight into maps.
Is $25 a month the real price?
It is the Spokane rate for anyone who starts on or before 30 September 2026. You pay $25 a month for your first twelve months, then the standard $60 a month. I should be straight about what the $25 is measured against: everywhere outside the city pages the promotional price is $30 a month, so the Spokane code takes $5 a month off that for the first year, and both prices end up at the same $60 afterwards. There is no setup fee and no add-on I will come back and bill you for, and cancelling is free whenever you decide to stop.
Half my customers drive in from outside the city. Can the site say so?
It should. A Spokane page that only talks about Spokane is leaving out the reason people found you. I write the counties and towns you actually serve into the page in plain words, whether that is Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake, the Palouse towns to the south, or across the state line into Coeur d'Alene. Somebody an hour out wants to know you will take the job before he picks up the phone.
where I am
I work from France, and I will not pretend otherwise
My business is registered in Châteaubriant, in France. I do not have an office in Spokane and I am not going to invent one. The work happens by email, text and phone, which is how a website gets built anyway, and I answer in the morning your time. If you would rather deal with somebody you can meet in person, that is a fair reason to go elsewhere and I would rather you knew it now than after you paid.
Nearby in the same campaign: website design in Bozeman, Montana. Also: the main page, the promotional price for everywhere outside Spokane, $30 a month, and the free mockup form.
Send me your hours and prices, and I'll build the Spokane page for free.
A photo of your menu or your price list from your phone is enough to start. Within 48 hours you get a link to a mockup of your own site, and then you decide. No commitment and no card details until you have seen it.
