40+ Years Building Websites for Ocala & Marion County Businesses
Because we know websites can become a headache. Maybe yours is outdated, hard to update, or simply isn’t doing much for your business anymore. We can take that off your plate. Our team will handle the design, development, and technical side so you can focus on the fun stuff. We want to build you a website that looks professional, is easy for customers to use, and actually supports your marketing efforts!
So, you’re looking for a web design company? You’ve come to the right place! Dillon Media Group has been part of the Ocala and the surrounding business community for more than 40 years. Our in-house team designs, builds, and manages websites for everyone from downtown storefronts to regional service companies and farms across horse country.
We focus on building custom website design solutions that work as part of your overall marketing strategy.
More than half of the searches for businesses in Ocala happen on a phone. Every website we build includes mobile-friendly web design with responsive layouts, easy-to-use navigation, readable content, and clear calls to action.
We also focus on site speed and usability to create a better experience for visitors and support stronger performance in search engines.
Design is what a visitor sees; website development is what makes it actually function. Our development team handles the technical side of your site, from custom functionality and third-party integrations to site speed, security, and hosting.
If you need a new site built from the ground up or you’re outgrowing an older one and need a website redesign, our approach is the same: build something that holds up long-term instead of needing a full rebuild in two years.
If your current website looks outdated, loads slowly, doesn’t work well on mobile, or simply isn’t producing the results you need, it may be time for a website redesign.
We can rebuild your existing website with a cleaner design, improved user experience, stronger content, and a more modern technical foundation. This makes it easier for customers to use and is more effective for your business.
SEO should be considered while your website is being built, not added as an afterthought. This includes clear page organization, optimized headings, mobile responsiveness, site speed, technical setup, and content that helps search engines understand what your business offers.
Because we also manage SEO and digital advertising in-house, your website can be built to support your larger marketing strategy, too.
Most of the sites we build run on WordPress, because it gives you a flexible, easy-to-update platform. Our WordPress website design work includes custom themes built to match your brand (not a modified, free template) along with the training your team needs to make basic updates yourselves once the site is live. Includes custom layouts, mobile-responsive design, content integration, contact forms, SEO-friendly site structure, and functionality.
Dillon Media Group has served businesses in Ocala and Marion County for more than 40 years. Our experience also goes beyond website design.
We work across digital advertising, SEO, social media, video, branding, print, television, radio, and other forms of marketing. That gives us a broader view of what your website needs to do: not just look good, but help turn customer attention into business.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our Web Design Service.
A website project from start to finish can take a week or two to a couple of months, depending on a few things. Websites with a lot of pages will take longer, and so will sites that require e-commerce features or custom functionality. The biggest bottleneck for developing a website is usually getting content from clients. If you’re working within a specific timeframe, let us know, and we’ll coordinate with you to keep the project on schedule.
Website cost depends on a few things: how much time it takes us to build and our development team to configure, plus how many additional resources your site will need like plugins, e-commerce features, or any third-party integrations required to make your website function the way you envision. A basic one-page website starts at about $2,000.
Website hosting is a service that stores your site’s files on a server, making it visible to users online. It’s required to publish your site, keep it live, and keep it running every day 24/7. It also helps keep your site secure and protects your data. Without hosting, your site can’t be open to the public. So yes, every website needs a reliable hosting service!
We build most sites on WordPress, which powers roughly half of all websites on the internet and remains the leading Content Management System for website development today. This gives our clients a flexible way to make updates if they need to complete updates themselves. For hosting, we use WP Engine. This is a managed hosting provider built specifically for WordPress.
Our hosting service is billed annually and is separate from your website design or maintenance costs. This covers your site staying live, secure, and backed up throughout the year. We’ll walk you through the exact cost as part of your website quote.
Website security is closely monitored and backups are taken of your website every single day. Automated software updates for external plugins, for example, are always active. Our hosting plans also offer built-in security features to layer different application defenses. Technical additions include features like SSL certificates and firewalls to block anything malicious. We offer various levels of security based on client needs.
We’ve built all kinds of websites! If you have a vision, we’ll work to make it happen. Our process usually starts with a quick call or meeting to understand your goals and design preferences.
From there, we put together a couple of mockups, see what you like, and move forward with whatever features are needed to make it happen. If you need online booking, a menu display, regular news or article updates, payment processing and e-commerce, or a portfolio to showcase your work, etc. WordPress and custom coding give us plenty of ways to make all of that happen for you.
Awesome! We’re always happy to help you add more website pages or new features as your business changes. Maybe you want a landing page for a specific campaign, or you just want to try something new. We’re here for it, and we’re happy to provide a quote for any additional pages or services needed after your website project is completed.
Yes. A website today has to be mobile-friendly. That means your site will automatically resize, we can feature an active click-to-call banner, and restructure content to fit smaller screens. The design still needs to be just as responsive on mobile as it is on desktop.
Yes, you own the site after completion. You can also move it to a new host later if you choose to. Since we build most of our sites on WordPress, your site isn’t locked into our hosting environment. Our custom-coded website can be transferred, too. We can help coordinate the transfer to make sure nothing breaks in the process.
Your domain is a separate consideration. If we registered and manage your domain for you, that’s typically renewed annually and can be transferred to you or another registrar whenever you’d like. If you registered and own your domain independently, that stays yours from day one, and we simply point it to your site.
