Why hire Forge instead of an agency

Direct-with-the-builder. No account managers. No project intake queue.

Days, not months

Most Forge sites go live in 24 to 72 hours. Custom builds take days to a couple weeks. Compare to the 6-12 week agency norm and the 3-6 month enterprise norm.

You talk to the builder

Every call, every email, every code review is with the person actually writing your site. No sales engineer handoff to a junior. No project manager translating.

Priced honestly

Forge Sites: $99/mo, includes hosting, SSL, updates, and Google Business Profile management. Custom builds: fixed-scope quote after a free discovery call. No hourly billing surprise.

Actual Georgia presence

Based in Calhoun, serving NW Georgia and metro Atlanta. Meet in person if you are within driving distance. Not a Bali developer emailing you at 3 AM.

SEO is not an add-on

Every Forge site ships with schema markup, canonical URLs, XML sitemap, Google Business Profile setup, and monthly local SEO management. Not "SEO-ready" — SEO-shipped.

Real support after launch

Text or email the builder directly for edits, bugs, or feature requests. Response within a few hours, not "we will open a ticket."

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does hiring a web developer in Georgia cost?
Forge Sites is $99/mo turnkey. Custom builds start around $2,500 for a simple marketing site with custom design, $8,000 to $25,000 for typical e-commerce or dashboard builds, and scoped by discovery call for anything larger. Every quote is fixed-scope, no hourly billing.
How long does it take to build a website?
Forge Sites (turnkey template on your domain) goes live in 24 to 72 hours. Custom marketing sites take 1 to 2 weeks. Full custom builds (e-commerce, dashboards, integrations) take 3 to 8 weeks depending on scope.
Do you build with WordPress?
Not by default. Forge ships static HTML + Firebase hosting for marketing sites (faster, cheaper, no security patching), Next.js for custom builds, and Shopify or WooCommerce when e-commerce demands it. If you have an existing WordPress site to maintain, we can support it too.
Do you take on projects outside of Georgia?
Yes, remote clients across the US and Canada. In-person only within driving distance of Calhoun.
