Surfers paddling out between the old pier pilings at New Smyrna Beach

Web, software, and care, New Smyrna Beach, FL

Websites for New Smyrna businesses, built to look like the town actually looks, and to actually work.

Custom design, real photography, and a site built to do the job: book more leads, take reservations, run your events, whatever your business needs.

And when a website isn't enough, I build the software behind it too. A local technical partner, not a template from three states away.

Built to get found

Local SEO baked in, so people searching for what you do actually land on you.

Looks like the town

Real design and photography that match the coast, not a stock library.

Built to do the job

Booking, lead capture, events, custom features, not just a page that sits there.

Never goes stale

A care plan that keeps hours, menus, and events current every season.

More than a website.

Most shops here need a great website. Some need more, and I build that too. Start where you are; the same person handles all of it.

Website

Custom design, fast, mobile first, built to convert. Five to seven pages up to full hospitality and multi location sites.

Applications and custom software

Booking systems, lead capture, event management, integrations, custom features, whatever your business actually needs built.

The result

Within weeks of launch, a New Smyrna coffee shop we built was landing on the first page of Google, average position under 4, and getting found for searches like “coffee near me” and “coffee shop new smyrna beach,” not just its own name.

Search Console, first 28 days: average position 3.9 · 725 impressions · 54 clicks.

Real photography, made here

The photography on these builds is real, shot here in New Smyrna, not pulled from a stock library.

Who's behind it

Built by a developer who's spent years on everything from large industrial SaaS to dozens of business sites and custom applications, and brings that same engineering to a coffee shop's site as to anything bigger. Local, and a real technical partner: websites, software, and the systems underneath.

The bigger builds live at Third Gear Ventures.

Straight answers.

How much does a website cost in New Smyrna Beach?
Launch starts at $4,000 for a five to seven page custom site. Signature, for hospitality and multi location businesses, starts at $8,000. Custom applications and software are scoped to the project. Ongoing care starts at $150 per month. Every quote is a fixed price, not an hourly estimate.
Can you build more than a website?
Yes. Booking systems, lead capture, event management, internal tools, integrations, custom software: that is the core of what Third Gear Ventures does. Tell me what it has to do and I'll scope it.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
Most sites go live in one to two weeks. Need it faster? Rush can have you live within the week for a 15 to 25 percent premium. Custom application timelines depend on scope.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance?
Yes. The Care Plan starts at $150 per month and covers hosting, updates, small changes, monitoring, and seasonal refreshes like menus, hours, events, and photos.
Do you work with local New Smyrna businesses only?
New Smyrna is home base, and I also work with businesses in Edgewater, Port Orange, and the greater Daytona area. Being local is the point: we meet in person, and I stay after launch.
Can you work with my existing domain, hosting, or website platform?
Yes. Years of large industrial SaaS, dozens of WordPress sites, and plenty of time inside Squarespace, Wix, and most hosting providers. I can manage your domain and hosting, or leave them where they are and work around them. Not sure what you need? Just ask.
