STUDIO

Jupiter, FL, serving Orlando

A tourism economy no other Florida metro matches

Orlando runs on tourism at a scale no other Florida city touches. The metro holds 2.67 million people, and hospitality supplies roughly 399,000 jobs, about a quarter of all area employment. Walt Disney World alone employs around 77,000 people, the largest single-site workforce in the country. The web-design buyer here is usually a hotel, attraction, restaurant, or vacation-rental operator selling to a visitor first and a resident second.

Two other engines sit beside the parks. Next to UCF, Central Florida Research Park hosts Team Orlando, the largest modeling and simulation cluster in the world, with 370-plus member companies and roughly $6 billion in training contracts moving through the region each year. Southeast of downtown, Medical City at Lake Nona packs five hospital systems within about two miles, anchoring a healthcare and life-sciences corridor. Neither of those pairs with a tourism base this large anywhere else in the state.

A site built for an Orlando business carries different weight than one built for a Palm Beach law firm. It has to convert a stranger who has never set foot in the city and hold up under the seasonal traffic spikes tourism brings. Booking and ticket flows matter more than a downtown directory listing, and the page has to load fast on a phone in an airport or a hotel lobby. The design has to earn the sale in the first few seconds.

Where the search demand concentrates across the metro

Winter Park: The affluent, walkable enclave north of downtown, with Park Avenue boutiques and Rollins College. Old-money professional practices and boutique retail here buy credibility-first design.
Lake Nona: The master-planned Medical City in southeast Orange County, clustering five hospital systems plus Lockheed Martin and a KPMG training campus. Healthcare, wellness-tech, and corporate sites concentrate here.
Downtown / Lake Eola: The central business district around the swan-boat lake, home to law, finance, government, and hospitality headquarters. Urban-professional and booking intent runs highest here.
Mills 50: Orlando's Asian-American commercial district of indie Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean restaurants, murals, and creative small businesses. Menu-forward and photography-led work lives here.
Baldwin Park: The new-urbanist redevelopment of the old Naval Training Center, with a walkable village center and dense small-business retail. Local service owners and shops drive demand here.

Three gaps the Orlando web shops leave open

Most top-ranking Orlando web-design pages never post a number. The few that do bury a range at the bottom of an FAQ or hide it behind a quote button. Aegis pricing is on the pricing page in full, a one-time build plus a monthly retainer, so you can scope the project before the first call.

Much of the local field builds on WordPress and only WordPress, which loads slow on mobile and ages badly. Every Aegis site is custom static-first code that ships at Lighthouse 90+ and carries LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ markup. That reads cleanly to Google and to the AI answer engines an Orlando traveler now uses to plan a trip.

Proof is the third gap. Competing pages claim thousands of delivered sites with nothing to back it, or run portfolios that were never built in Central Florida at all. Aegis surfaces its real 5.0 Google rating as review markup and links current work, because a buyer here reviews the pricing and the work before they call.

Tourism, hospitality & attractions: Hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, and attractions selling to 76 million visitors a year. Booking-forward layouts and reservation links that convert a first-time visitor on mobile, on fast photography-led pages built to hold up under seasonal traffic.
Modeling, simulation & training: The Team Orlando defense and simulation firms around Central Florida Research Park. Credibility-first sites with secure contact intake and content written for procurement officers and prime contractors, not consumers.
Healthcare & biotech: The Lake Nona Medical City systems and the clinics orbiting them. Accessible, appointment-first pages built with patient privacy in mind, and schema that surfaces locations and services.
Real estate, construction & property management: The master-planned growth driving Baldwin Park, Lake Nona, and the suburban corridors. Listing feeds and agent profiles on fast gallery pages that load on a phone at an open house.
Event, convention & experiential services: The vendors and operators feeding the Orange County Convention Center, one of the largest in the country. Schedule-driven pages and lead capture for booth and sponsorship inquiries that survive the traffic spike around a big show.
Professional & business services: The metro's second-largest employment sector, from Winter Park practices to downtown firms. Practice-area pages, intake automation, and E-E-A-T content that ranks on long-tail expertise queries.

Six steps from first call to launch and care

Discovery: Free 30-minute call over video. We learn your business, audit the existing site, and write a one-page brief.
Strategy & scope: Sitemap, content outline, design direction, and a fixed-price quote with timeline. You see the brief before any design starts.
Design: Figma mockups for the home and 2 to 4 key pages, reviewed on a shared link. Two rounds of revisions before build.
Build: Weekly demos on a staging URL. Animations, integrations, and content go in here, and you review it as it is built.
QA & launch: Mobile testing, Lighthouse, schema validation, redirect mapping. Anything that breaks is caught on staging before launch.
Care: Managed hosting and a maintenance retainer. We monitor, update, and improve the site after go-live.

Orlando web design questions

The questions Orlando prospects ask before the first call.

How much does a website cost?

Pricing is the same statewide and matches the main pricing page: a one-time build plus a month-to-month retainer, quoted as two line items. Anchor is a $5,000 to $7,500 build with a $1,500 monthly retainer. Growth is a $7,500 to $15,000 build with $3,200 a month. Scale is a $15,000 and up build with $6,500 a month. Retainers are month to month, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. The full comparison is on the pricing page.

You're in Jupiter. How do meetings work for a Orlando project?

Orlando is outside South Florida, so the first call and Anchor work run remote. Growth and Scale clients can still choose an onsite kickoff and quarterly onsite meetings. One senior contact runs the project from kickoff through launch.

What kinds of Orlando businesses do you build for?

Mostly the businesses that sell an experience: hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, attractions, and the restaurants and event operators around them. We also build for the Lake Nona healthcare corridor, the Team Orlando simulation and defense firms near UCF, and Winter Park professional practices. The build is the same across all of them; the content strategy is where the vertical shows up.

Do you build on WordPress, Shopify, or custom code?

Custom static-first code for most marketing sites, hosted on a global edge platform. Shopify when the client needs the storefront, and WordPress only on legacy retainers. A custom build loads faster on mobile than a themed WordPress site, which matters when your visitor is booking from a phone in an airport. The relocated WordPress-only shops in this market can't match that on Core Web Vitals.

Will my site load fast and pass Core Web Vitals?

Yes. Every site ships mobile-first and scores 90+ across all four Lighthouse categories before it goes live. Real-user Core Web Vitals, LCP, INP, and CLS, are on the launch checklist, and the field data settles green in the first few weeks. In a market where visitors browse on mobile data between attractions, that speed often decides whether a visitor books or leaves.

Do you do SEO for Orlando, or just build the site?

Both, and the strongest engagements pair them. Schema, meta, sitemap, and semantic HTML are baked into every build so the site ships ready to index. Ongoing local SEO with map-pack work and monthly rank tracking is the retainer, priced on the pricing page. In Orlando that means ranking against directories like Clutch and Thumbtack that fill the first page, so on-page and local signals both have to be strong.

How long does a website project take?

Single-page sites ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Multi-page builds ship in 4 to 8 weeks. Larger builds with custom integrations run 8 to 14 weeks. Every engagement has a written timeline and a weekly demo on a staging URL, so the schedule is set before we start.
