Krause Web Design Is Open — Built for Roanoke Businesses
Krause Web Design is officially open — a local studio building fast, mobile-first websites for the businesses of the Roanoke Valley. Here’s why we started it, who it’s for, and what makes the sites we build genuinely different from a template you rent and forget.
Why we started Krause Web Design
Drive around the valley and you’ll find dozens of excellent local businesses — trades, salons, shops, clinics — doing first-rate work behind a website that doesn’t show it. The site is slow to load on a phone, the number isn’t tap-to-call, there’s no proof of how good they are, and a ready-to-buy customer quietly bounces to a competitor. We started Krause Web Design to fix exactly that: to give local owners a site that’s fast, easy to use, and built to turn visitors into phone calls.
Who it’s for
Local, service-based businesses across the Roanoke Valley — the people who answer the phone, show up, and do the work. Towing and tree services, HVAC and electrical, painters and roofers, salons, cleaners, clinics, and the shops on Main Street. If your customers find you on a phone and decide in ten seconds whether to call, this is built for you.
What makes our sites different
- Fast and mobile-first — your site comes up quickly and works on a phone, even on a weak signal in someone’s driveway.
- Tap-to-call and an obvious next step on every screen, so visitors actually reach you instead of getting lost.
- Your real Google reviews pulled live onto the page — current, genuine, impossible to fake.
- Built around your real service area, so neighbors in Salem, Vinton, Cave Spring or Botetourt find you in “near me” searches.
- You own it. It’s your site on your domain — not a rented page you lose the day you leave.
Honest by default
We don’t invent reviews, and we don’t “gate” them to hide the bad ones — that’s against Google’s rules and customers can smell it. We show your real reviews and build in a one-tap, fully compliant way to earn more.
How it works
It’s a simple, no-surprises path: we Scope what you need, Design a look that fits your business, Build it fast and mobile-first, Launch it, and then offer ongoing Care so it stays fresh. And we usually start by building you a free preview — a real concept of your site — so you can see exactly what’s possible before you commit to anything.
Real work, not just promises
We’re new as a studio, but we’re not new to the work — we’ve already built and launched sites for local businesses (including Mason’s View Dental Lab), and we’re building more across the valley right now. Local-owned, local-focused, and around for the long haul.
