Web design & build
Custom, mobile-first sites that look like you spent real money — because the design is made for your business, not a template.
Design + developmentSpokane web design
Beautiful websites that actually get you found — on Google and AI.
We spent 25 years running businesses in Spokane — restaurants, payroll, slow Tuesdays. We know exactly what it costs when people can't find you. Now we build websites that bring them in: sites that look good, and that Google and the AI assistants actually recommend. Family-owned, four of us, and we answer the phone.
Veteran-owned & operated
Custom-built, never a template
Spokane & North Idaho
You, found
Why it matters
A gorgeous website is worthless if nobody can find it.
Most local sites are built to look nice and stop there. Your customers have changed how they search — half of them now ask an AI assistant "who's the best in Spokane for…" We build for both the old way and the new one.
- Found on Google. Technical SEO, local search, and clean, fast pages that rank.
- Found on AI. Structured data written so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI can read and recommend you.
- Built to convert. Every page has a job — get the call, the booking, the visit.

Design, findability, brand, photography, and upkeep — one team, one point of contact, no handoffs.

We are also a full team, not a single freelancer, offering web design, branding, photography, and ongoing care under one roof.
What areas does Spokane Web Studio serve?
We are based in Spokane, Washington and serve the Greater Spokane area including Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney, and Airway Heights, plus Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene in North Idaho. We work with clients beyond the region too — no job too big or too small.
What does a website from Spokane Web Studio include?
A custom, mobile-first design, SEO and AI-search optimization, structured data so search engines and AI can understand your business, accessibility to WCAG AA, fast load times, and a clear plan for every page. We also offer branding, professional photography, and ongoing maintenance and hosting.
Is Spokane Web Studio family-owned?
Yes. We are a family-owned Spokane studio led by founder Rob Smith, a Marine veteran with 25-plus years running local businesses. You work directly with the people building your site.
