Simple, sturdy websites for small businesses and the groups that keep a community running.

We design your site, host it, set up your email and keep it all working, so you have one person to call instead of four companies to chase.

Everything your website needs, from one outfit

Most small organizations end up with a designer, a hosting company, an email provider and a nephew who "knows computers." We cover all of it, and we already know how your setup fits together when something needs fixing.

Website design

A clean, fast site that tells people who you are, what you do and how to reach you. Built to look right on a phone first, because that's where most of your visitors are.

  • Static sites for businesses, HOAs and organizations
  • Simple web stores for a short list of products
  • Pages organized around what visitors came to find
  • Contact forms that land in your inbox
  • Maps, hours and search basics set up right
  • Your logo, colors and photos throughout

Website hosting & upkeep

We keep your site online, secure and up to date. You don't need to know what a plugin update or an SSL certificate is; we take care of them.

  • Fast, secure hosting with SSL (the padlock)
  • Software updates and security checks
  • Regular backups we can restore from
  • Domain name and DNS handled for you
  • Small text and photo changes when you need them
  • A real person to call when something looks off

Business email

Email at your own name, like you@yourbusiness.com, instead of a free account. It looks more professional and it stays with your organization, not with whoever set it up.

  • Mailboxes at your own domain
  • Shared addresses like info@ or board@
  • Spam filtering tuned to your mail
  • Set up on phones, Outlook and webmail
  • Protection against people faking your address
  • Moving your existing mail over

Video & photography

Real photos of your people, place and products do more for a website than any stock image. If you're around San Antonio, we'll come to you.

  • Business, team and headshot photos
  • Product photos for your web store
  • Short promo videos for your site and social media
  • Event and community coverage

Built for small outfits, not big corporations

We work with organizations that need a dependable website, not a complicated one.

Small businesses

Shops, trades, restaurants, ranches and service businesses that need to be easy to find and easy to call.

  • Show up looking as established as the bigger competition
  • Hours, services, location and a way to get in touch
  • A small store when you're ready to take orders online

HOAs & neighborhood associations

One place residents can check before they call a board member.

  • Covenants, forms, minutes and newsletters in one spot
  • Board email addresses that pass to the next board
  • No lost passwords when officers change

Clubs, churches & nonprofits

Groups that run on volunteers and need a site that doesn't need babysitting.

  • Meeting times, events and how to get involved
  • Photos and news that show what you do
  • Low running costs that fit a small budget

Why we keep websites simple

Most small organizations don't need a complicated platform with a dozen add-ons. A focused site does the job better.

It loads fast

Fewer moving parts means pages open quickly, even on a weak phone signal out in the county.

Less to break or break into

Every extra plugin is one more thing to update and one more door for trouble. We leave out what you don't need.

It costs less to run

No pricey platform subscriptions or add-on fees. You pay for what your organization actually uses.

It's easy to keep current

Send us your changes, or we'll set you up to edit text and photos yourself. Either way it never goes stale.

Ready to sell online? A simple web store lets customers browse your products and send an order, without the cost and upkeep of a full e-commerce system.

Why work with Ranahan Design

A ranahan is a top hand, the one you trust with the work that matters. That's the job we take on for your website.

  • One contact for everything. Site, hosting, email and photos come from the same people, so nothing falls between the cracks.
  • Plain English. We explain your options without the jargon and tell you what you don't need.
  • It stays yours. Your domain, content and photos belong to your business or organization.
  • We stick around. We don't hand over a site and disappear. We keep it updated, backed up and working.

How it works

From first conversation to a site you're proud to share.

  1. Talk it through

    Tell us about your business or group, who you need to reach and what you have now. We'll recommend what fits and give you a quote.

  2. We design it

    We draft the pages with your logo, colors and content and send you a preview link to look over and mark up.

  3. We launch it

    We set up hosting, your domain and your email addresses, then switch everything on and test it.

  4. We look after it

    Updates, backups and security are handled. When you need a change, you send a message instead of learning software.

Common questions

What is a static website?

A static site is a set of pages that show the same information to every visitor: who you are, what you offer, how to reach you. There's no customer login or complicated database behind it, which makes it fast, secure and inexpensive to run. It's the right fit for most small businesses, HOAs and organizations.

Can I sell things on my website?

Yes. For a short list of products we build a simple web store where customers can browse and send an order. If you outgrow that, we'll talk through what a bigger store would take.

Can we make changes ourselves?

Either way works. Many clients just email us the change. If you'd rather do it yourself, we'll set you up with an easy editor for text, photos and news.

We already have a website and email. Can you take them over?

Usually, yes. We can move an existing site and mailboxes to our hosting, or redesign the site while keeping your domain and email addresses the same.

Who owns the website and domain?

You do. The domain, your content and your photos belong to your business or organization.

Do you only work in San Antonio?

No. Website design, hosting and email work for clients anywhere. Video and photography are offered in person in the San Antonio area.
