Freelance Web Design Los Angeles – Websites That Rank & Convert
Affordable like a freelancer. Strategic like an agency. Helping LA businesses grow online with fast, SEO-ready websites.
Why LA Businesses Need More Than Just Web Design
Los Angeles is one of the most competitive markets in the U.S. From Hollywood production houses and creative agencies to healthcare clinics and real estate firms, every business needs a website that stands out.
The problem? Many LA businesses hire freelancers who only focus on looks—or agencies that charge high retainers without personalization. The result: websites that look nice but don’t rank or convert.
I started as a freelance web designer in Los Angeles and over 14+ years evolved into a web strategist. My approach balances creativity with SEO, ensuring your site is not just live, but discoverable, fast, and profitable.
Why LA Websites Fail
-
Slow loading speed → poor Core Web Vitals → high bounce rate
-
No SEO strategy → invisible in Google & AI answers
-
Too much “design fluff” → weak CTAs, low conversions
-
Agencies overcharging → $5K–$10K+ with no clear ROI
-
No local focus → ignoring LA neighborhoods & industries
💡 Fact: 57% of users won’t recommend a business with a poorly designed mobile site (Google).
Challenges I Solve
Creative-First, SEO-Later Problem
Example: A Hollywood media firm had a flashy site but no traffic. After redesigning with SEO + schema, they ranked in the top 10 for “LA creative agency web design.”
Healthcare & Clinic Visibility
A Beverly Hills dental clinic struggled with patient leads. After local schema + optimized CTAs, leads doubled.
Ecommerce Speed Issues
An LA fashion brand improved conversions 2.5× after I fixed load times and added structured product schema.
Agency Cost Overruns
Multiple SMBs left big LA agencies due to cost. As a strategist, I delivered equal/better results at 50% lower pricing.
