Website design for Homer businesses
Elyisius is based in Soldotna, about seventy five miles up the Sterling Highway, and we build websites for businesses in Homer. A lot of your customers find you long before they ever see the Spit. They're planning from home on a phone, sometimes in February. So we build sites that answer what they want to know and let them book or reach you right then.

What we help with
Social Media
Summer on Kachemak Bay is easy to take pictures of. We help you post it in a way that sends people on to your website, not just to a like.
Digital Presence
Season hours change. We keep them right on your website, your Google Business Profile and the listings people check before the drive down.
Doing business in Homer
Homer sits where the Sterling Highway runs out, at the Spit on Kachemak Bay. It runs hard on tourism, fishing and a visitor season that decides the year, and it's got a working arts and hospitality trade you don't see much of anywhere else on the peninsula. The charter fleet works out of the harbor at the end of the Spit, and the galleries, cafes and B&Bs in town live on that same summer.
Most of your customers aren't from here. They're deciding from far away whether to make the trip, which boat to book and where to stay, so your website does the talking while you're out on the water or behind the counter. And when the season's over, it keeps going. Somebody who loved a piece in July can find you again in January.

How we build it
We look at what you have now
Your website, your Google Business Profile, your social media and how bookings and questions reach you today. Then we tell you what's working and what isn't.
We plan around the trip
What a visitor wants to know before the drive down, from where you are on the Spit or East End Road to what to bring. Each page answers one of those.
We build it in the off season
The design, the words, the booking and the forms. Winter's the quieter time to get it done, so it's ready when the season starts.
We keep it going
Rates, hours and photos change every year, and we keep them current. It's your site, in your own accounts.
What Homer owners ask about website design
Is there website design near Homer, Alaska
If you're looking for website design near Homer, Elyisius is based in Soldotna, about an hour and twenty five minutes up the Sterling Highway, and we build websites for Homer businesses. Most of the work happens online, so the drive only matters if you'd like to meet in person. Website design is one part of what we do, along with branding, marketing and lead follow up.
Can visitors book from my website
Yes, visitors can book from your website. A charter seat, a room or a table can be requested right on the page, and the person gets a reply saying what happens next. That counts for a lot when they're planning from the Lower 48 and you're out on the bay.
What happens to my website in the quiet months
Your website keeps working through the winter. People still look you up, plan next summer's trip and ask about something they saw in your shop. We make sure those questions reach you, and the quiet months are a good time for us to freshen the site before the next season.
Will my website show up when people search for Homer
Your website can show up when people search for things to do and places to stay in Homer when each page says clearly what you offer and where you are, it loads quickly on a phone, and your details match your Google Business Profile. We'll never promise you'll be number one on Google, but we'll show you what's working and what isn't.
Do you work with businesses near Homer
Yes, we work with businesses in Homer, Anchor Point and Ninilchik, and all over the peninsula. We're based in Soldotna, with Kenai, Sterling, Kasilof and Nikiski close by, and because most of the work is online, we also work with businesses in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Mat-Su Valley.
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.
