East Brainerd web design — a real website for a fast-growing side of Chattanooga.
I'm Jacob, a Chattanooga-based web designer. East Brainerd keeps growing — new neighborhoods, busy retail along Gunbarrel Road and East Brainerd Road, and a lot of good local businesses competing for the same Google searches as the national chains. I build fast, custom websites that help them get found — $1,000 flat for a full multi-page site, or $300 for a one-page starter. No monthly fees. You own the domain and every file.
Based in Chattanooga, building for East Brainerd — no meetings required. Calling works best, or text me.
A local designer for East Brainerd — not an agency three states away.
Most business owners out here who call a web designer end up on the phone with a stranger in another state — or a sales team pitching a $2,000 site plus a monthly bill that never ends. That's not what this is. I'm one person, based right here in Chattanooga. When you hire me, you're hiring someone local — not an account manager in a call center.
Local, and I know this side of town.
I'm based in Chattanooga, and East Brainerd is a short drive up the road. I know the Gunbarrel Road retail stretch, the East Brainerd Road corridor, and how much of the area's business comes down to whether people can find you on their phone.
Real, live client sites.
I've built and shipped real websites for real Chattanooga-area businesses — a golf club, a landscaper, a chimney company, a notary. Live sites, real owners, real work. Not mockups. See the work →
One flat fee. No lock-in.
$1,000 for a full multi-page site, or $300 for a one-pager — paid once, not every month. In an area where every other pitch comes with a subscription, you own your domain and your files outright, with no contract to climb out of later.
You reach me directly.
You get my number, not a ticket queue. Need a change before a busy weekend or a quick fix to your contact form? You text me and it gets handled — no offshore help desk in the middle.
Real, live client sites — from right across the Chattanooga area.
I don't have an East Brainerd client to point to yet — so I'll be straight with you and show you real, working sites I've built for other businesses around Chattanooga instead. These are live and in use today, not mockups.

Sites for the businesses East Brainerd actually runs on.
East Brainerd is a mix of busy retail, professional offices, and home-service pros keeping up with all the new construction. The businesses that tend to fit best are the ones where a customer's first move is pulling up their phone — to check hours, see photos, compare you against the place down the road, or figure out who to call.
- Home-service pros — HVAC, plumbing, remodeling, lawn care, cleaning
- Professional offices — dental, medical, insurance, accounting, legal
- Restaurants and cafés — menu, hours, photos, directions
- Salons, spas, and fitness studios — the appointment-driven kind
- Local retail and specialty shops — the independents near Gunbarrel
- Mobile and by-appointment businesses — notaries, detailers, trainers, groomers
Every build includes
- Mobile-first design — most East Brainerd customers find you on a phone
- Tap-to-call and tap-to-text buttons
- Local SEO basics: schema markup, meta tags, sitemap
- Clean hand-coded HTML — no WordPress, no page builders, no platform fees
- Free Netlify hosting, domain setup, HTTPS
- Your own login. You own the domain, the files, and the site.
Who this is — and isn't — a good fit for.
I'd rather be straight with you about fit than talk you into a build that won't earn its keep. Here's the honest cut for an East Brainerd business.
Good fit if
- You run a small local business in or near East Brainerd
- You need a real website, not just a social page
- You want one flat fee and no monthly bill
- You'd rather call or text than sit in a meeting
- You're fine with a clean, modern site that loads fast and gets found
Probably not for you if
- You need a full e-commerce store with live inventory and shipping
- You want a custom booking app or member portal built from scratch
- You want a big agency with account managers and standing weekly calls
- You want someone to run your social media and paid ads for you
- You expect a website alone to rank you #1 overnight — SEO is a separate add-on
East Brainerd, and the southeast side of the metro.
I build for small businesses all over the southeast side of the Chattanooga metro — East Brainerd out toward Ooltewah, Collegedale, and Apison, plus East Ridge and Ringgold, GA, just across the state line. If you're in any of these, I'd love to build your site.
Closer to downtown or the north side? I also have pages for Chattanooga web design and Hixson web design.
Questions East Brainerd business owners ask.
Do you work with East Brainerd and Ooltewah businesses?
Yes. I'm a Chattanooga-based web designer and East Brainerd is a short drive from me. I build websites for businesses right here in East Brainerd plus the surrounding southeast Chattanooga area — Ooltewah, Collegedale, Apison, East Ridge, and Ringgold, GA. If you're within about 50 miles, I can build your site.
How much does a website cost in East Brainerd, TN?
A full multi-page site is $1,000 flat and a one-page starter is $300 flat. That's the whole price — no monthly fees, no contracts. Many Chattanooga-area web designers charge $1,500 to $5,000, often plus a monthly bill.
Do you charge monthly fees?
No. You pay one flat fee, once — $1,000 for a full site or $300 for a one-pager. Hosting is free and your only ongoing cost is your domain (about $12 to $15 a year), paid directly to the registrar.
Can you help my East Brainerd business show up on Google?
Every site I build includes local SEO basics — schema markup, meta tags, a sitemap, and your services and service area written into the page so East Brainerd customers can find you. For more, I offer hands-on local SEO and Google Business Profile setup for Chattanooga-area businesses.
Do we have to meet in person?
No — no meetings required. The whole process works over a call or a few texts, so it doesn't matter whether you're in East Brainerd, Ooltewah, or downtown Chattanooga. Calling works best, but texting works just as well.
