Cedar Studios Web Design
Launch day is the easy part
Traditional agencies are broken.
Emails. Meetings. An invoice. Then they move on to the next client.
And that's just to launch your website. Your business keeps changing. New services. New hours. New ideas. Who updates the website then?
Cedar Studios stays. We build your website, host it, maintain it, and change it when your business changes, so you can focus on running your business.
Our Process
We don't do one-and-done
Most web design is a project with an end date. We run ours as a long-term service.
No lengthy email chains. No meetings you didn't ask for.
Updating text or images on your site is as simple as sending an email. And we're right here in Cedar Rapids.
We build it with you.
Tell us what's off. We keep working on it until you're satisfied.
We stick around.
We host your website, keep it running, and make your changes for as long as you want us to.
We grow with you.
More pages, a custom CMS, a client portal. When your business needs it, we add it. You won't have to go find someone new.
WOW, amazing website, and amazing service. Cedar Studios have been the easiest website developers I have ever worked with.

Klawiter Construction
Klawiter Construction needed a new look for their business.
We didn't just design the website—we wrote pages full of keyword-researched content for better SEO. We also made custom "lightbox" images to show off their excellent work.
The results speak for themselves.
I was looking for a local web designer and found Cedar Studios Web Design. Finding someone without a referral and trusting they can complete the job is difficult. Thankfully they did an excellent job, and completed the new website quickly. They just didn't build the site, they did research and went to extra work to ensure the site turned out great.

Then they started a new business, Next Level Food Plots. We built that website, too.

Calvary Academy
We built the website for Calvary Community Church and for their radio station. When the church founded Calvary Academy, a brand new elementary school in Cedar Rapids, we built that one, too.
Calvary Academy had a spectacular launch, with 1,600+ page views in the first 48 hours and dozens of registrations in the first week. A clean, professional design helped cement their image as an educational authority in Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Studios Web Design is an absolute godsend! They have been so helpful, and are so creative/responsive, that we can't imagine how we even had a web presence before connecting with CSWD.

Questions
What can we answer for you?
Because we do things differently, we're used to answering questions. We'll address the most frequent ones to save you time.
Can I talk to someone before I buy?
Of course. You can give us a call or email us to discuss if Cedar Studios is a good fit for your business.
What happens after launch?
We keep it running. We host it, maintain it, and make your updates. When you need something changed, send us an email.
What if my business outgrows the website?
Then we build what comes next. Add pages, a custom CMS, or a full platform. We'll send an invoice for the new work.
What if I don't like the design?
If you aren't satisfied with your initial design, let us know and we'll remake it. We'll work with you as long as it takes to capture your vision.
YES, YES, YES! Cedar Studios is fantastic... they heard my needs and were in tune with my vision, and took it beyond what I could have imagined. They are responsive, efficient and detail oriented. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my website. Thank you Cedar Studios!!!

How long does it take?
You'll see a first design in 1–2 business days, and most websites take 1–2 weeks. Bigger projects take longer.
I think it's too expensive for just a website.
A hand-coded website can be more expensive than a page-builder website, yes.
That said, several of our clients were quoted for thousands more by cookie-cutter agencies that were going to spin an overused template for them.
And you aren't buying just a website. You're getting someone to look after it.
Will my SEO improve if I switch to Cedar Studios?
We use keyword-researched writing and build websites with structured metadata to maximize your SEO. As a result, our customers notice anywhere from a slight to a marked improvement in their SEO.
While AI and Google algorithm changes have all but put the nail in the coffin of easy SEO, fixing a broken website never hurts.
Cedar Studios did a fantastic job redesigning my website! Not only does it look amazing, but it's also more functional and easy to navigate. Since the update, I've noticed a significant increase in website views and client inquiries, which has been a game changer for my business. Beyond their design skills, Cedar Studios is incredibly responsive and reliable. Anytime I have a question or need an update, they are quick to help. Having them manage my site month-to-month gives me peace of mind, knowing everything is running smoothly. If you're looking for professional, talented, and proactive web designers, I highly recommend Cedar Studios!
