Web design & marketing for small & rural business

The internet, built for businesses that don't have time to build it themselves.

Rural Website Development designs, builds, and markets websites for small-town and rural businesses — so the site works as hard as you do, without becoming another job on your plate.

No web jargon, ever
One point of contact
Built to be found

Three services, one relationship.

You shouldn't need three different vendors to get a business online and keep it working. We handle the build, the search visibility, and the branding that ties it together.

Design

Website Design & Build

A custom site built around what your customers actually need to know — hours, services, pricing, how to reach you — not a generic template with your logo pasted on.

Grow

Getting Found & Marketing

Getting found matters more than looking good. We set your site up to be found and run the marketing that brings the right customers to it.

Share

Social & Branding

Consistent branding and social presence across the platforms your customers actually use — built to match the site, not compete with it.

We build around how your business actually runs.

01

We speak plainly.

No agency jargon, no upsells you don't need — just a straight answer about what your site needs and why.

02

One person, one relationship.

You'll always know exactly who's working on your site — not a rotating cast of account managers.

03

Built for real conditions.

Spotty cell service, older customers, word-of-mouth reputation — we design around how your customers actually find and use a business, not assumptions borrowed from a city agency.

04

Priced like a service, not a project.

Clear, upfront pricing agreed to before work starts — no surprise invoices when the project "grows."

Four steps, start to launch.

No mystery timeline — here's exactly what happens after you reach out.

01

Discovery

A short call to learn your business, your customers, and what isn't working about your current site — or the fact that you don't have one yet.

02

Design Draft

A real preview of your site — built with your actual content and photos, not a placeholder mockup.

03

Build & Review

Development, revisions, and testing across phones, tablets, and desktops before anything goes live.

04

Launch & Grow

Your site goes live on hosting of your choice. Need changes down the road? Small updates are billed hourly — no retainers, no monthly plan.

Straightforward pricing, agreed to upfront.

Flat, one-time packages starting at $500 — no subscriptions, no surprise invoices, and 1 month of free bug fixes after launch on every package. Full breakdown of packages, add-ons, and marketing pricing on their own page, plus a printable guide.

About Rural Website Development

Paul Parmley, founder of Rural Website Development

Rural Website Development was founded by Paul Parmley, a Business Administration major, out of a simple frustration: most web agencies are built for companies in cities, selling to other companies in cities. Rural and small-town business owners deserve the same quality of work — without the same price tag, and without being talked down to for not already having a "digital strategy."

Every project starts with a conversation about the business itself, not a list of packages. The goal isn't a portfolio piece — it's a site that earns its keep, month after month, for a business that doesn't have time to babysit it.
