Arlington is a hard place to be an invisible business. Between Clarendon, Ballston, Rosslyn, Shirlington and National Landing, your customers are surrounded by options and they are choosing from a phone screen, usually within a few blocks of where they are standing. DesignRoam builds fast, modern WordPress websites for Arlington businesses — sites built to produce phone calls and booked appointments, not just to look good in a portfolio.
We are a Northern Virginia web design studio working with Arlington’s local service economy: professional services along the Wilson Boulevard corridor, restaurants and retail in Clarendon and Shirlington, home services covering the county’s older housing stock, and the consultancies and small firms clustered around Rosslyn and National Landing. Most sites launch in 5–7 business days, and our pricing is published on this page — you will know what it costs before you ever book a call.
Why Arlington businesses choose DesignRoam
- Pricing you can see before you call. New builds from $1,800, redesigns from $2,800. No “let’s discuss your budget,” no change orders that arrive after you have committed.
- A week, not a quarter. Design, build, test and launch in about a week. Traditional agencies quote two to three months for the same scope.
- Built for a walkable, mobile-first market. Arlington customers search on the move. We build lightweight pages with next-gen images so they load fast on cellular, and we put click-to-call where a thumb actually lands.
- Designed to convert, not to win awards. Clear calls to action, forms that reach your inbox, and a single obvious next step on every page.
- One person, your timezone. You work directly with the person building your site. No account manager relaying messages to an offshore team.
What we build for Arlington businesses
New website design — from $1,800
A complete custom WordPress site: homepage, services, about, contact, and whatever else your business genuinely needs. Includes mobile-responsive design, contact forms, Google Analytics, and the on-page SEO basics that let Arlington customers find you in the first place.
Website redesign — from $2,800
If your site looks like it was built in 2016 and loads like it, we rebuild it on a modern foundation. We keep the pages that already rank, fix the technical problems holding the rest back, and redirect everything properly so you do not lose the search traffic you spent years earning.
Local SEO — from $499/month
Showing up in the Google map pack for “web designer near me” or “dentist Arlington VA” comes down to three things: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and having pages that are actually about Arlington. We work all three, and send you a monthly report on what moved.
Website care plans — from $149/month
WordPress core and plugin updates, security monitoring, off-site backups, uptime checks, and small content edits. Your site stays fast and secure and you stop thinking about it.
How the process works
- Free website audit. We review your current site and send back a specific list of what is costing you leads. No charge, no obligation, no sales call required to receive it.
- Kickoff call. Thirty minutes on your services, your customers, and what a good month looks like in your business.
- Design and build. We write the structure, build the pages, and send you a live preview link.
- Your review. You give feedback, we revise. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
- Launch and support. We handle the technical launch, then stay reachable for questions.
Arlington industries we work with
Arlington’s business mix skews professional and hospitality-heavy compared to the rest of Northern Virginia, and we build for both:

- Law, accounting, and financial advisory practices
- Dental, medical, physical therapy, and specialty health practices
- Restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood retail in Clarendon, Shirlington and Columbia Pike
- Boutique fitness, yoga and wellness studios
- Home services working Arlington’s older housing stock — remodeling, roofing, HVAC, electrical
- Real estate agents and property managers
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Arlington, VA?
New builds start at $1,800 and redesigns start at $2,800. Most Arlington small-business projects land in that range. Sites with e-commerce, booking systems, or a large number of service pages cost more, and we quote that in writing before any work begins.
How long does it take to build a website?
Typically 5–7 business days from kickoff to launch, assuming your content and photos are ready. If they are not, we will tell you what we need and how it affects the timeline before we start.
Can you help my Arlington business show up in the Google map pack?
That is what our local SEO service does. The map pack is driven mainly by your Google Business Profile, your review count and velocity, and locally relevant content on your site. For an Arlington business competing against DC and Alexandria results, reviews are usually the fastest lever.
Do you work with businesses outside Arlington?
Yes. We serve the whole Northern Virginia and DC Metro area, including Fairfax, Alexandria, Reston, Ashburn, Springfield, Tysons, Falls Church, and Washington, DC.
I already have a website. Do I actually need a new one?
Often, no. Start with the free website audit. We will tell you honestly whether your site needs rebuilding or just needs three or four things fixed — and if it is the latter, we will say so.
