Web design for small businesses · Des Moines, Iowa

Your website should look as good as the work you do.

Split Rock Home builds websites with great styling and simple navigation, so your business looks as established as it is.

Before and after

Same business. Different first impression.

I'm John. Split Rock Home exists to simplify how you present yourself to your customers. Drag the handle: the kind of page most small businesses end up with on the left, and what that same business could look like on the right.

Tallpine Tree Care is a made-up business, used here as an example.

  • FastMost one-page sites are done in two to three weeks, full sites in four to six.
  • Made to stand outEye-catching and simple at the same time, with your work front and center.
  • Low maintenanceBuilt to stay current without you touching it.
  • Local, or notMost of my clients are around Des Moines, but I work with businesses anywhere.

What's possible

Every business gets its own look.

No two of these share a template. The style comes from the business: its work, its customers, the way it talks.

Samples and concepts, not clients. These are made-up businesses designed to show range. Real client sites will go here as they launch. Photos: Unsplash.
