The receipts
The work, before the pitch.
Real sites, live right now. Custom-designed, hand-built, and fast on every phone.
Who you actually get 
The founder is on every account.
That is me. The person you deal with is the one who owns the place, and the same person who answers when you need something changed — 12 hours on average.
Read this before you hire anyone
In a capital city, credibility is the first impression.
Charleston customers — and the state agencies, employers and professionals they work with — judge a business by its website before they ever call. A slow or dated site reads as a slow or dated business. We build sites that look established, load in under two seconds, and stay current with changes back in twelve hours on average.
The usual agency
A site that undersells you
- A template with your logo dropped into it
- Slow on a phone, which is where your customers decide
- Information that drifts out of date because changes are a hassle
- Handed to whoever has capacity once the contract is signed
MCG
A site that looks established
- Custom-designed around what makes your business different
- Under two seconds on a phone, every page
- Unlimited updates, 12-hour average turnaround, support handled in-house
- The person you deal with is the one who owns the place
The Digital Foundation for Charleston Businesses
Charleston is West Virginia’s capital and largest city, home to state government, established employers, and a steady base of local business. MCG builds conversion-focused websites and local SEO strategies that help Charleston companies stand out, earn trust, and grow across the tri-state area.
Local SEO
Dominate Charleston Search Results
As West Virginia’s capital and largest city, Charleston combines established local businesses with steady traffic from state government and the surrounding Kanawha Valley. We build local SEO around proven, results-driven tactics — Google Business Profile optimization, local keyword targeting, and citation management — so your rankings and visibility are things you can track and measure with confidence.
From the East End to South Charleston and St. Albans, Charleston customers search differently depending on where they live and what they need. We build content and listings around those real search patterns instead of a one-size-fits-all city page.

Common Questions
Charleston Web Design & SEO Questions
How competitive is local SEO in Charleston?
As West Virginia’s capital and largest city, Charleston has an established base of local businesses competing for the same searches. That makes a consistent, technically sound SEO foundation more important than quick fixes.
Can you help my Charleston business rank in specific neighborhoods?
Yes. We build location-aware content and listings for the specific Charleston neighborhoods and Kanawha Valley communities you serve, not just a single generic "Charleston" target.
How fast can you launch a new Charleston website?
Timelines vary by project scope, but most Charleston website rebuilds launch within 4-8 weeks of kickoff, with SEO work starting in parallel.
Do you handle both design and SEO, or just one?
Both, together. We build SEO into every Charleston website from day one instead of treating it as a separate add-on after launch.
Do you work with businesses outside Charleston proper?
Yes — we serve businesses throughout the Kanawha Valley and the wider tri-state area of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
