Website design for Haines businesses
Elyisius is based in Soldotna, and we work online with businesses in Haines. Your visitors come every way there is, on the ferry, on a cruise ship, or driving the Haines Highway down from the Yukon. We build websites that catch them while they're still deciding where to go.

What we help with
Social Media
Eagles on the Chilkat in November are hard to beat. We help you post them in a way that sends people on to your website.
Marketing and SEO
Somebody planning a trip searches for eagle viewing or a place to stay in Haines. We build your pages around those searches.
Doing business in Haines
Haines sits on a point between the Chilkoot and Chilkat inlets at the top of Lynn Canal. It's one of the few towns in Southeast you can drive to. The Haines Highway runs up to Haines Junction in the Yukon and meets the Alaska Highway there, and the state ferry runs the Lynn Canal route.
So the seasons here are different from a lot of Southeast. Summer brings cruise visitors, about 67,000 expected in 2026, and the Southeast Alaska State Fair in July. Then the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve fills up in the fall, with eagles from October into January and the most in early to mid November. Two busy times, two kinds of visitors. Your website has to work for both, and for the people who live here all year.

How we build it
We meet over video
We go over your website, your Google Business Profile, your social media and how bookings and questions come in, then tell you what's working and what isn't.
We plan for summer and eagle season
A cruise visitor on a short stop and an eagle photographer staying a week ask different things. We plan pages for each.
We build the site and the booking
The design, the words, the booking forms and the reply that goes out when someone asks, tied into the tools you already use.
We keep it fresh
Dates, rates and photos change every season, and we keep them current. It's your site, in your own accounts.
What Haines owners ask about website design
Can a Soldotna company build my Haines website
Yes, a Soldotna company can build your Haines website. Almost all of it happens online, on video calls and in your own accounts, so you won't be waiting on a ferry for us. Website design is one part of what we do, along with branding, marketing and lead follow up.
Can my website help me book eagle season
Yes, your website can help you book eagle season. People plan fall trips to the Chilkat months ahead, so your site can show your dates, what's included and how to book, and take the request while you're out on the river.
Can my website reach people driving in from the Yukon
Yes, your website can reach people driving in from the Yukon. They usually look you up on a phone before they head down the Haines Highway. We make sure your hours, your location and what you offer are easy to find and match your Google Business Profile.
What does a Haines website need for cruise days
On cruise days, a Haines website needs your hours, where you are from the dock and a quick way to book a short trip. Visitors don't have long in town, so the site answers the basics fast and lets them reserve a spot before they step off the ship.
Do you work with businesses near Haines
Yes, we work online with businesses in Haines and across Southeast, including Skagway, Sitka, Ketchikan, Petersburg and Wrangell. We're based in Soldotna, with Kenai and Nikiski close by on the peninsula.
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.
