Website Design That Drives Results in Southwest Colorado

Visually stunning, conversion-focused websites — live in less than two weeks.

Recent Animas Marketing website builds shown across laptop and mobile devices — responsive, mobile-first designs for Southwest Colorado businesses.

Every site we build is custom — not a template. We start with your brand, your goals, and your customers, then design a site that looks professional and guides visitors toward action. While most agencies use page-builders and cookie-cutter layouts, we hand-code clean, fast sites that stand out in local search.

Our process is straightforward: we meet, agree on scope and price, build your site, and launch — typically within two weeks of receiving your content. No surprises, no scope creep, no offshore handoffs.

Our Website Design Approach

We build conversion-focused, mobile-first websites optimized for Core Web Vitals and local search. Every site starts with your brand story and ends with a clear path for visitors to become customers — backed by clean code, on-brand copy, and a design that works hard for your business.

Meet. Agree. Build.

  1. Discovery Call

    We meet to understand your business, your goals, and what success looks like for your new website.

  2. Sitemap & Wireframe

    We map out the pages, structure, and content flow before any design work begins — so everyone is aligned.

  3. Design Mockups

    You receive a visual mockup of the homepage and key pages for review and feedback before we build.

  4. Build & Polish

    We build the full site, apply your branding, optimize for speed, and test across devices and browsers.

  5. Content & SEO

    Copy, images, schema markup, meta tags, and page titles are finalized and optimized for local search.

  6. Launch & Training

    We go live, submit to Google, and walk you through how to manage your new site — typically in under two weeks.

Website Design FAQ

Common questions about building a new website with our Durango design team.

How long does it take to build a new website?

Most Starter sites go live within two weeks of receiving your content. Standard builds run two to four weeks because of the extra pages, blog setup, and conversion features. Premium builds with eCommerce or custom integrations typically take four to eight weeks. The biggest variable is content readiness — sites with photography and copy ready at kickoff move significantly faster.

What's included in each website design package?

Every package includes mobile-responsive design, SSL, contact form, basic SEO foundation, and a Google Analytics setup. Starter includes 4 custom pages and 1 hour of revisions. Standard adds 8 pages, advanced caching, a premium speed plugin, blog setup, multiple forms, and 2 hours of revisions. Premium covers 16 pages, advanced eCommerce, custom integrations, performance optimization, and 6 hours of revisions.

How many revisions are included?

Starter includes 1 hour of revisions, Standard includes 2 hours, and Premium includes 6 hours. Additional revision time is available as an hourly add-on after your included hours are used. We encourage clients to consolidate feedback into a single round to make the most of their included time.

Is hosting included in the website design price?

No — website design is a one-time project investment, and hosting is a separate ongoing monthly cost. We offer fully managed hosting plans starting at $29/mo that include SSL, daily backups, security, and 24/7 monitoring. Many clients bundle design and hosting for a seamless experience.

Do I need to provide my own content and photography?

We design every package around the assumption that you provide written copy, photos, and any logos or branding. If you need help, we offer copywriting and photography as add-ons, or we can work from a stock library and your brand direction. Bringing content to kickoff is the single biggest factor in hitting the two-week timeline.

Can you redesign my existing website instead of building a new one?

Absolutely. Redesign engagements make sense when your brand has matured, your content has grown, or your platform is slowing you down. We audit what's working — rankings, traffic, conversion paths — and rebuild without losing the equity you've earned. Redirect maps preserve your SEO when we change URL structures.
