Two of us · Colorado-based · remote
Looking for an Albuquerque web design company? We're Bullfinch: Kyle and Katie, based in Colorado. We design and build your site ourselves and work with you remotely. Katie keeps it on schedule. Nobody junior, nobody in between.
The first step costs $0. After a 30-minute call, we design your real homepage in about a week. Love it, and we quote the whole site in writing, from $5,000. Don't, and you owe nothing.
Poco a poco “Little by little.” Our pace too: one page first, then the rest.
The cost question
Most small-business websites we build land between $5,000 and $40,000, depending on page count, integrations, and whether you add ongoing SEO or Google Ads. First we design your homepage, free, in about a week. If you love it, you get one fixed price for the whole site, in writing: no surprise invoices, no hourly meter.

Where most of our builds land
That range covers the website design Albuquerque owners hire us for, start to finish. Where your site lands inside it comes down to four things:
Sara Beckner's site is 5 pages; Stratalock's is 27. Every page gets designed, not templated.
Booking, payments, memberships. Each one is built and tested, so it costs more.
Send your own words, or we write them. Either way, it's on the quote.
A website doesn't need either. Add ongoing SEO or Google Ads after launch and the total goes up; skip them and it doesn't.
The real number needs a design to price, so we make one first: a real custom homepage, in about a week, no deposit. You pay only if you love it, and the fixed price covers a site you've already seen.
Choosing a designer
Search Google and the first page gives you three local studios on the map at the top, a few agency sites, Clutch and Yelp lists, a site that ranks web designers, and a Reddit thread on r/Albuquerque asking who to use. The lists sort by reviews and ad spend. None sort by whether the site will bring in work.
Ask every one of them the same five. Ours too.
A good answerThe same people from first sketch to launch, no handoff. Ours: Kyle and Katie design it and build it themselves.
A good answerYes, in your name, from day one.
A good answerA phone score from Google’s free speed test (Lighthouse), run while you watch. Ours, out of 100: Stratalock 98, Full Scope Metals 100, Cahoots Tavern 99.
A good answerA written plan for every old page address. On one recent move we mapped 588 of them and checked that each old address sends people straight to its new page.
A good answerTwo clear options and a real monthly figure before you sign. Ours: we can run the hosting and updates for a monthly fee, and the hosting account stays yours either way. Or we hand the site over clean and you run it yourself.
If your customers speak Spanish
1 in 5 Albuquerque residents speak Spanish at home uno de cada cinco
That's 103,621 of 532,238 residents aged 5 and up (19.5%). 32,817 (6.2%) speak English less than “very well”.

If those are your customers, the web design Albuquerque needs includes real Spanish pages, not a translate button. A translate button's Spanish never shows up in Google, so people searching in Spanish won't find it. And it reads like a machine wrote it. Because one did. On the border it counts even more: see our page on web design in Laredo, where shoppers search from both sides of the river.
Your English page
Your Business | Albuquerque, NM
What you do, in your customers' words.
Your Spanish page
Note to Google: “English version is yoursite.com/”
Google title and description
Su negocio | Albuquerque, NM
Lo que usted hace, en palabras de sus clientes.
Each Spanish page gets one, like yoursite.com/es/, so Google can rank it.
Pick Español once and it sticks.
It pairs each English page with its Spanish twin, so searchers get their language.
So the Google result is in Spanish too.
We build that structure. A fluent speaker, yours or a professional translator, writes or checks the Spanish. Never a machine translation left as is.
Balloon Fiesta · every October
For nine days every October, Balloon Fiesta brings the visitors. Hotels, restaurants, tour operators and Old Town shops meet them outside, on a phone, on a cell connection. Get the site ready before the next Fiesta, not during it.
What the site has to do that week
Light enough to open on a cell connection, not just hotel Wi-Fi.
Real text, not a PDF, so phones and Google can read it.
A table, a room, a tour, a pickup. No long form.
Up before the week starts, not the morning of.
Another tourist town
A tourist-town bar whose traffic is road-trippers on phones.

Our work
Before you hire an Albuquerque web design company, look at what it has built. Here are four of ours. None of these sites is in Albuquerque, and we won't pretend otherwise.
27 pages for three kinds of customer, all built from the same parts. Every page works the same way, and adding a new one takes an afternoon.
Stratalock case studyWe're selling a technology most people haven't heard of, to three audiences that don't read the same way. Bullfinch actually understood that before they drew a single screen and the site shows it.
Stratalock USA, the client
8 pages for contractors, who mostly ask for quotes from a phone on the job.
Full Scope Metals case studyKatie's design blew me away and Kyle and Katie were super attentive and nailed my vision!!! 10/10, highly recommend!
Matthew Johnson, Owner
Homepage approved in 2 days. Full site live in 29.
Sara Beckner case studyI'm not geared towards self-promotion, and I didn't know how you'd translate what I do into a website. Bullfinch somehow did it.
Sara Beckner
A Durango-based society whose members span Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. A custom-built site where new members join and pay through PayPal.

We're Colorado-based and we work remotely. There is no Albuquerque office, and we won't pretend there is. Here's how it works instead.

Kyle + KatieColorado
Kyle and Katie design and build your site themselves, and Katie keeps the project on schedule and runs your account. Kickoff is a Google Meet call and shared docs, and nobody new shows up later.
That's a typical site. Smaller ones get there faster.
How in God's name did you know so much about my industry??? I thought I was going to be spending weeks spoon feeding you copy. This is better than EVEN I could write
Before you book
Before you hire anyone for Albuquerque web development, you'll want straight answers to these five.
No.
We're Colorado-based and everything runs online, from the first call to launch. You never drive anywhere to see your site.
Not by itself.
The map pack, the three businesses Google shows on a map above the regular results, runs on your Google Business Profile, your reviews and how close you are to the person searching. A good site supports that, but the profile and the reviews do most of the work. More on how the map pack works in Albuquerque.
You do.
Domain, code and hosting are yours from day one. If we ever part ways, there's nothing to hand back.
Yes.
Page by page, so no link to your old site goes dead. On one recent move off WordPress and WooCommerce, we mapped all 588 old addresses and checked that each one sends visitors straight to its new page.
About 60 days.
That's a typical full site, start to launch. Your homepage design comes first, in about a week after the intro call, so you see it before you pay anything.
One we missed? Bring it to the intro call.
Your move
Still choosing an Albuquerque web design company? This call costs you 30 minutes and nothing else. You talk with Kyle and Katie, the two people who would design and run your project.
On Google Meet. Tell us about the business and who the site is for.
A real design in about a week. No deposit, no invoice.
For the whole site, if you love the homepage. No hourly meter.
