I’ve been building websites since the early days of the internet — long before drag-and-drop builders existed. Over 30 years in web design, development, and hosting has shown me exactly where most businesses get frustrated.
Too many agencies charge large upfront fees and disappear after launch. DIY platforms expect business owners to manage technical details they shouldn’t have to worry about. And “all-in-one” services often come with hidden add-ons once the project is finished.
I created Cornerstone Web Company to fix that.
Our model is simple: professional design, secure hosting, ongoing updates, support, and domain management — all handled for you under one straightforward monthly plan.
No surprises. No hidden fees. No technical headaches. Just a professional website that works — backed by someone who stays involved long after launch.
FAQ Commonly asked questions and answers.
Why should I use Cornerstone Web Company to create my website?
We specialize in fully managed websites for small businesses. That means we handle the design, hosting, security, updates, and support so you don’t have to. Our goal is simple: deliver a professional website that works for your business without the high agency price tag.
Will you really design my site for free?
Yes. Every project begins with a free custom website preview. You can review it, request changes, and make sure it fits your vision before committing. We don’t ask for payment until you’re ready to move forward.
What's included in the monthly service fee?
The monthly service fee includes hosting, SSL certificate, ongoing maintenance and support for our clients to ensure that their websites remain up-to-date and functioning properly. This can include things like updating content, fixing any bugs or issues that arise, and making sure that the website is compatible with the latest web standards and technologies.
What platform will my new site be built on?
Your website is built on Cornerstone Web Company’s proprietary website system, designed specifically for modern small business websites. It uses current HTML5 standards and optimized code to ensure fast performance, strong security, and long-term reliability. Our service is fully managed, meaning we handle updates, improvements, and ongoing maintenance for you. If requested, client access can be programmed into your site for viewing traffic reports and site data. This keeps things simple while still giving you transparency and flexibility. Because our system is proprietary, it is not WordPress or a public website builder. This allows us to maintain consistent performance, security, and support across every site we manage.
Will my new website look good on smartphones?
Yes. Every website we build is fully responsive and automatically adjusts to desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Your site will look clean, professional, and easy to navigate on any device. Mobile performance is built in from the start, not added later. That means your visitors get a seamless experience no matter how they access your business online.
Do you offer SEO optimization as part of your services?
Yes, we offer SEO optimization as part of our website design and development services. This includes optimizing the content and structure of your website to ensure it is properly indexed and positioned for visibility in search engine results.
Can I use my domain from my previous site?
Yes. You can use a domain from your previous site as long as you still own it. Depending on your current provider, there may be a simple process involved in connecting or transferring your domain. Our team will be happy to assist you every step of the way.
Do you work with businesses outside of North East, Maryland?
Yes. While Cornerstone Web Company is based in Cecil County, Maryland, we work with businesses across the United States. All communication can be handled by phone, email, or virtual meeting, making it easy to work together no matter your location.
