# FLX Websites > Websites and marketing for local businesses in the AI era FLX Websites helps local businesses thrive online with professional websites and marketing strategies designed for the AI era. We build websites that help local businesses establish trust and get found by real customers and AI search systems alike. ## Overview We live for the opportunity to create something truly unique. We savor the satisfaction of watching it evolve. And we revel in the challenge of keeping pace as it grows. We know how frustrating it can be to put so much time and effort into your business just to lose customers to a competitor who isn't better, they just have a better website. The truth is websites matter, a lot. Your site is your one chance to make a solid first impression before potential customers click away and move on. Founded in 2019, we've helped 60+ businesses transform their digital presence into a competitive advantage. With over 20k leads generated for clients, we focus on real results that grow your business. ## Pages - [Home](https://flxwebsites.com): Everything your local business needs to thrive online - [About](https://flxwebsites.com/about): We love this stuff - creating unique websites for small businesses - [Websites](https://flxwebsites.com/websites): So, you want to build a new website - our proven three-step process - [Marketing](https://flxwebsites.com/marketing): Keep your marketing muscles strong - monthly marketing services starting at $649/month - [Media](https://flxwebsites.com/media): Professional media services - [Case Studies](https://flxwebsites.com/case-studies): Real results for businesses like yours - [Blog](https://flxwebsites.com/blog): Digital strategy insights and trends - [Contact](https://flxwebsites.com/contact): Get to know us ## Services ### Custom Website Design Unique websites that help your local business stand out.

We keep it nice and simple with just three steps. ### 1. Hi there! This step is all about you and your business. We call it the Discovery Phase. And it's not just a quick phone call or an email chat. We go deep. We want to learn what you do, how you do it, where you envision your company next year, in five years, and into the future. We want to know who your customers are and how they find you. And of course, we want to know who your competition is, so we can strategize accordingly. Armed with this intel, we'll put together a plan. A plan that's completely unique to your business. And a plan that'll elevate your online presence to a whole new level. ### 2. We get our hands dirty. Well, not literally. This is where we dig in and start building. But you won't find us rooting around the Internet looking for a template we can shoehorn your business into. Your website is built from the ground up. It's 100% custom and totally unique. And thanks to the technology known as responsive design, your site will work perfectly whether you're viewing it on a laptop, a desktop, a tablet, or a smartphone. What's more, you'll be working closely with our senior developers every step of the way. Have a question? Just ask, they'll be the ones answering. ### 3. 3 … 2 … 1… Launch! Like any big day in your life, the day your website launches is one you'll surely remember. And because we've done this a time or two, you can rest assured that it'll be pretty uneventful. No confusion, no yelling (well, we imagine a "Woohoo!" will be in order from your end). The result will be a brand-new site that's humming right along. A brand-new website that'll start working hard for you the second it goes live. But while you can sit back and admire your new site, launch day doesn't mean we're done. Not even close. As your business grows and evolves, we'll be along for the ride to ensure your website keeps pace. **Support you can expect:** - Unlimited updates keep you ahead of the curve, and the competition - 24/7 monitoring of page speed and uptime to ensure smooth performance - We stay in front of AI search changes and customer behavior, so you maintain your edge **Why work with us?** - **Custom websites.** No templates, no repurposing. - **Clear pricing.** You'll know exactly what you're getting for your investment. - **Dedicated support.** Need a change or an update?
