Web design for contractors, since 2011
A website that gets the phone ringing. And a team that keeps it running.
Mark designs and builds every site himself. The SyncShepherd team hosts it, patches it, backs it up, and answers when it breaks.
Who this is for
Built for the trades.
If you run a crew, answer your own phone, and the website is your problem because nobody else will touch it, this is for you.

What you get
Built right the first time. Kept running after.
Most agencies hand you a login at launch and disappear. Ours is the same team that runs dozens of contractor sites every week, and it stays on yours.
Design
Mark designs it around your trade, your towns, and the jobs you want more of. No templates, no clip art.
Build
Custom WordPress on Kadence. Fast on a phone, accessible, and any rankings your old site had survive the move.
Host
On servers we control, with backups to two places before every update and security patched within 48 hours of a release.
Answer
One number reaches a person. Most updates are done the same day, all within 48 hours, on a date we commit to.
Own
You own the domain, the site, and every login. If you ever leave, you take it all with you.

About
I’m Mark. I’ve been building websites for contractors since 2011.
I started Web Design by Mark because the contractors I knew kept paying for websites that never quite launched, or launched and then broke with nobody to call. Every site here I designed and built myself, and every one is still running.
The team behind the hosting, security, and support is SyncShepherd, the same crew that handles marketing for many of these clients. So when you call, you get someone who already knows your site.
Need customers, not just a website? Ads, SEO, Google Business Profile, and reporting live at SyncShepherd.
