Websites
Schedules, what you carry or sell and how to reach you, easy to read on a phone with a weak signal, with a short form for questions.

Website design for Nenana businesses
Elyisius is based in Soldotna, and we work online with businesses in Nenana. A lot of your customers aren't in town. They're in a river village waiting on a barge, or driving through on the Parks Highway, and we build websites that answer them wherever they are.

What we help with
Business Systems
Requests from your website land in one list with the date and the details, so nothing gets lost in a busy shipping season.
Digital Presence
Travelers check Google before they stop. We keep your hours and directions right on your Google Business Profile and your website.
Doing business in Nenana
Nenana sits on the Parks Highway about fifty seven miles south of Fairbanks, where the Nenana River runs into the Tanana. It's the Interior's hub for tug and barge freight, and the barges head down to the river villages from about mid May into early October. The town's railroad history runs deep too. President Harding drove the golden spike for the Alaska Railroad here in 1923.
And then there's the Ice Classic. Tickets go out across Alaska from February 1 to April 5, a tripod goes up on the Tanana ice in early March, and the whole state waits on the clock to see when the ice goes out. It's a small town, about 350 people, with customers spread over a huge area. So your website has to work for somebody far away who needs an answer today.
Websites we've built

How we build it
We start with a call
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 who's asking
A village customer, a contractor and a family driving to Denali all ask different things. We plan pages around the people you actually serve.
We build it light and quick
The design, the words and the forms, built to load fast on a phone, connected to the tools you already use.
We keep it up to date
Schedules and seasons change, and we keep them right. It's your site, in your own accounts.
What Nenana owners ask about website design
Can you build a website for my Nenana business from Soldotna
Yes, we can build a website for your Nenana business from Soldotna. Most of the work happens online, over video calls and in your own accounts. If the work really needs us in the room, we plan a trip for it. Website design is one part of what we do, along with branding, marketing and lead follow up.
Can my website help customers in the river villages
Yes, your website can help customers in the river villages. It can show your season, what you carry and how to send a request, and it loads quickly even on a slow connection. Every request reaches you with the details, so you're not chasing them down by phone.
Can my website reach people driving the Parks Highway
Yes, your website can reach people driving the Parks Highway. Most of them look you up on a phone right before they stop. We make sure your hours, your location and what you offer are the first things they see, and that they match your Google Business Profile.
Does a small town business really need a website
A small town business gets a lot out of a website when its customers are spread out, and that's Nenana. People who can't stop by still need to know what you do and how to reach you. A simple, clear site does that for you every day.
Do you work with businesses near Nenana
Yes, we work online with businesses in Nenana and along the Parks Highway, from Healy up to North Pole and Moose Creek near Fairbanks. 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.
