Website design for Cordova businesses
Elyisius is based in Soldotna, and we build websites for businesses in Cordova. There's no road between us, and we won't pretend there is. The work happens online. A lot of Cordova's customers are far away too, buying fish, planning a trip or shipping something home, so we build websites that serve them from wherever they are.

What we help with
Branding
Copper River is a name people already know. We help your own business look and sound like itself next to it, on the site, the box and the post.
Marketing and SEO
Somebody in another state searching for Copper River salmon or a Cordova fishing trip needs to land on your page. We build pages for those searches.
Doing business in Cordova
Cordova sits on Orca Inlet at the edge of the Copper River Delta, and there's no highway in. People and freight come by plane or on the state ferry. The town runs on commercial fishing, with seiners, gillnetters and the processors, and when the Copper River salmon opener comes in May, the whole place speeds up.
That makes a Cordova business different from a road town. Your customer might be a family in Seattle ordering fish, a birder planning the Shorebird Festival or somebody flying in to hunt or fish the Delta. None of them can just drive by. So your website does the talking, answers how to get here or how it ships, and takes the order or the booking while you're out on the water.

How we build it
We meet over video
We go over your website, your Google Business Profile, your social media and how orders and questions reach you now, then talk through what's working and what isn't.
We plan for customers who aren't here
How it ships, how to get to town, when the season runs. We put those answers where people look for them.
We build it before the opener
The design, the words, the order or booking forms and the reply that goes out. Winter's the time to get it done, so it's ready by May.
We keep it going
Seasons, prices and what's available change every year, and we change the site when they do. You own it, and you can take it anywhere.
What Cordova owners ask about website design
Can you build a website for a Cordova business without coming to Cordova
Yes, we can build a website for your Cordova business without coming to Cordova. Elyisius is based in Soldotna. We do the planning on video calls and send you pages to read as they're done. If the job ever really needs us in town, we'll fly over. Website design is one part of what we do, along with branding, marketing and lead follow up.
Can my website sell fish or products that ship
Yes, your website can sell fish or products that ship. People can see what you have, place the order and read how and when it ships before they ask. We keep it easy to mark things sold out when the season's done.
Can my website help visitors plan the trip in
Yes, your website can help visitors plan the trip in. Since nobody drives to Cordova, we put up what they need to know about flights, the ferry and getting around once they land, and then let them book with you.
Do you work with businesses near Cordova
Yes, we can work with businesses in Cordova and around Prince William Sound, including Valdez and Whittier. We're based in Soldotna, with Kenai and Nikiski close by, and because most of the work is online, we can work with businesses anywhere in the state.
Can we meet in person
Yes, we can meet in person. We can meet you at your business, or we can get on a video call.
How much does it cost
What it costs depends on what your business needs, and there are a lot of options, which is why every job starts with discovery and a system evaluation. We build the smallest thing that removes the problem, and it's measured against what that problem already costs you every month. That way you can weigh the work against the time and money you're already losing to it. We're glad to give you some price ranges if that helps. Even better, if you let us know what you'd like to spend and what you need done, we'll put together the best options we can for that.
How long before we see something working
You'll see something working once the first process is built, because we start with the issues that are costing you time, money and frustration. Starting small means you're not waiting on a big project to finish before anything changes. You get to watch it work on your real messages before we build the second one, and if something needs adjusting, that's when we find out.
