Spokane web design, without building it twice.

A site that looks the part, loads fast, and comes with the words already written. It’s built to be found on Google, too, and you own every line of it — no builder subscription to pay your way out of.
Trusted by Spokane & Spokane Valley businesses
Most Spokane websites are built twice.
Once to get something up. Again a year later, when it’s slow on a phone, buried on Google, or locked to a builder that charges you to leave. Often all three.
We’re usually the second call. The sites look fine. Underneath: placeholder copy nobody finished, services buried three clicks deep, a template that takes six seconds to load, and a login only the last designer had.
The fix is almost always cheaper at the blueprint stage. Almost always skipped.
This studio exists so you can skip the first version instead.

Four ways we build.
Every one of them written for you, fast on a phone, built to be found, and handed over with the keys.
E-commerce — reserved. Added when there’s a build we can show.
Blueprint. Build. Launch.
Three stages, in order, and every one of them hands you something you can hold.

The “we” on this page is mostly me.
Spokane Web Design is the design studio of August SEO, LLC, and I’m its founder, Kevin August. I’ve been building websites since 2005 — the code, the design, and the part where people actually find them.
There’s no account manager and no handoff. The person who reads your project details is the person who plans the site, builds it, and answers the phone.
What people ask before they start.
Money questions have their own page — what a Spokane website costs. Replacing a site that already ranks? The redesign questions are here.
How long does a website actually take?
Two to three weeks for most business sites, with the writing included — about half what the industry quotes for the same job. A single landing page is usually a week; a bigger build with a content program runs four to six. The honest answer about why ours are short: websites don’t fall behind in design, they fall behind waiting for words. Almost every quote you’ll get assumes you’re the one writing them. We write them, so there’s nothing to wait for — and if you have a site now, it stays up the entire time.
Can’t I just use Wix or Squarespace?
You can, and for some businesses that’s the right call — if your customers all come from referrals and the site just needs to exist, a builder will do it cheaper than we will, and we’ll tell you so. The difference shows up once the site has to bring in work. A template decides your layout before it’s ever heard of your business, so your services get squeezed into someone else’s idea of a page — usually a slower one, with less for customers or Google to go on. There’s also the fine print: a builder site is rented — monthly fee, their servers, their rules — and it doesn’t move out with you. Ours you own outright.
Do you write the words, or do I?
We write them — it’s included unless you’d rather do it yourself. Partly because the words are what sell the work (and what Google reads), and partly from experience: handing a business owner a blank page is the single most common way a website ends up three months late. What we need from you is a conversation, not a manuscript. You talk about your work, we turn it into pages, and you get final say on every word before it goes live.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
If you want to, yes — it’s one of the first questions we ask, because the answer decides what we build on. Plan to edit weekly and we’ll build on something with a friendly editor, like WordPress. Never want to touch it? Site Support handles changes for you, month to month. Either way, the site isn’t built to make you need us — needing us should be a choice, not a design feature.
Will I show up on Google as soon as the site launches?
You’ll be on Google within days. Being chosen by Google takes longer, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling the word “launch.” Google spends its first months deciding how seriously to take a new site, so expect the first real movement inside one to three — faster when we’re replacing a site with history behind it. What launch day does give you: a site built the way Google reads, your measurement tools already connected, and a written record of where you started — so progress is something you check, not something you take our word for.
What do you need from me during the build?
Your opinions, at three moments: a conversation at the start about what you do and which customers you want more of, a look at the page structure while it’s still gray boxes, and a final review before launch. The middle one matters most — structure is cheap to change on paper and expensive to change after design, so it’s the one meeting we won’t rush. What you won’t be doing is homework: no writing assignments, no chasing us for status, no learning our tools. You run your business; describing it is the only part we can’t do without you.
