A custom website,
built by an Orange County web designer
who sticks around.
Flat-rate custom web design for businesses across OC — Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and twelve surrounding cities. Built on Webflow, WordPress, or Shopify. One designer, start to finish.
One designer.
The whole project.
I'm Carey Davis. I run Graphic ReDesign as a one-person studio out of Irvine, and I build custom websites for businesses across Orange County.
That's the whole pitch, but it matters more than it sounds.
Most Orange County web design gets outsourced. You hire a local agency, a project manager assigns your build to a team of three junior designers in a different time zone, and by month two you're not sure who's actually making decisions about your site. Two years later, when you need a simple content edit, you're emailing a support address and waiting three days.
I work the other way. I do the discovery call. I design the site. I build it. I launch it. And I'm the person you email when your copy changes in year three. No account manager, no subcontractor, no ticketing system — just me and a small roster of Orange County businesses I've taken on this year.
Most Orange County web design gets outsourced. This doesn't.
The kinds of OC businesses
I build for.
OC is not one market. A family-run landscape company in Newport Beach, a therapy practice in south county, a commercial real estate broker — they all need websites, but they don't need the same website.

Twelve cities. One designer. No account managers.
Where the work
actually happens.
Based in Irvine. Regularly serving twelve cities across Orange County, with occasional projects in LA, San Diego, and out of state.
Why an Orange County
web designer.
You don't technically need a local designer to get a website built. I have clients outside OC. Projects run over video and email just fine. But if you're specifically searching for an Orange County web designer, there's usually a reason, and it's one of three.
You want to meet in person at least once.
Fair. I'll drive to you in Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, or anywhere in OC for a first call if it helps. A lot of projects don't need it — but when a project does, it's worth the coffee.
You want someone who understands the market.
A therapist in Mission Viejo and a therapist in Los Angeles are marketing to different people. An HVAC company in Anaheim has different seasonal cycles, customer expectations, and referral networks than one in San Francisco. Knowing the difference matters when I'm writing homepage copy.
You want accountability.
A local designer you can actually Google, whose business address is real, whose client list you can verify, whose Google reviews are from people whose businesses you've probably driven past — that's a different relationship than a remote contractor with a stock headshot. I'm at 2160 Barranca Pkwy in Irvine. My phone rings me, not a receptionist.
Location matters. Not because it should — because it does.
Webflow, WordPress, Shopify —
whichever fits.
Three platforms. I pick the one that fits the business, not the one I'm trying to upsell.
Webflow
Where most of my OC marketing sites end up. Clean, fast, and the CMS is genuinely editable by the business owner without risk of breaking the design. Good for therapy practices, landscape companies, contractors, consultants, most service businesses.
WordPress
When the site is content-heavy — blogs, resource libraries, membership areas, anything where you'll be publishing regularly. Also still the right answer for certain real estate and legal sites that integrate with specific MLS or case-management plugins.
Shopify
For ecommerce, whether you're selling one product or a thousand. Single-offer storefronts, full catalogs, subscription flows. Fast to launch, fast to scale.
If you already have a platform preference, I'll respect it — or push back honestly if it's wrong for your case. If you don't, I'll pick.
Flat rate.
No hourly. No surprises.
You get the full number in writing before anything starts. Lifetime support is included on every project.
For comparison: most Orange County agencies start around $8,000–$15,000 for the same standard small business site. The difference is overhead and team size, not quality.
Flat rate. No hourly. No surprises.
Four steps.
Nothing fancy.
Free 30-minute consult
We talk about your business, what the site needs to do, and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
Quote + timeline in writing
Before anything starts. No guessing. If scope grows mid-build, I'll quote the change separately.
Design & build
4–8 weeks for most projects, 8–12 for larger ecommerce. The main variable is how fast content and feedback come back from you, not how fast I work.
Launch & support
Site goes live. You get admin access, a recorded walkthrough, and my email for life. Ongoing work is a monthly retainer.
