Web design for small businesses in Cornelius, NC
Waldo7Labs builds websites for small businesses in Cornelius, NC, on the east shore of Lake Norman. I am Jesse Chesnut, working alone from Iron Station on the west side of the lake, about 22 miles by road. You text me at (980) 222-1163, and we work by phone and screenshare.
Lake Norman, Mecklenburg County, NC
A lake town on I-77
Cornelius sits on the east shore of Lake Norman in north Mecklenburg County, between Huntersville and Davidson. I build custom websites for the lake trades, shops and service businesses here, and keep them up after launch.
I-77 runs right through Cornelius, and Catawba Avenue is the main road from the interstate out toward the water. Jetton Park sits out on the lake, and a lot of the town is coves, docks and lake homes.
That brings a lot of lake work: dock builders, boat repair and detailing, marinas, lake home cleaning and lawn care. Next to it are the restaurants, salons, gyms and offices that serve the people who live by the lake.
Cornelius is busy, and every lake trade has plenty of competition. The businesses that get the call are the ones whose site shows real work, names the coves and towns they serve, and matches their Google listing.

Built close to home.
My closest finished build is across the lake: Smith Mine in Maiden, where customers price a load of dirt or gravel from their address, pay a deposit and sign on a phone. A Cornelius dock or boat business can get the same kind of quote and booking tools.

“He stepped in and quite literally saved us during a significant administrative shift within our organization. He has the quickest turn-around on projects and response to inquiries of anyone we have ever worked with... and his design work? Beautiful!”
Creo Classical Academy · Google review “They built a website for my company and it was great from beginning to end. I asked a lot of questions and they were there every step of the way! A+ customer service”
Smith Mine · Google review “Jesse is truly the best — sharp, dependable, and a pleasure to work with. He built BBQ King's website and knocked it out of the park. We're thankful to have him as a partner for whatever tech comes next.”

Questions
Questions from Cornelius.
Is Iron Station too far from Cornelius?
No. It is about 22 miles by road, east on NC 73 and up I-77. The work runs by phone, text, screenshare and your project page, so the lake between us does not slow anything down.
Do you build for dock builders, boat shops and marinas?
Yes. A lake business gets a page for each service, your own job photos, the coves and lake towns you cover, and a way for people to send a photo of the job with their question.
What does web design cost in Cornelius?
A Starter Site runs $795 (usually $1,295), and a Plus Site with space for 10 pages runs $1,995. Half is due at the start and half at launch. Care is $25 or $69 a month, and there is no contract to sign.
Do you work in Davidson and Huntersville too?
Yes. Both border Cornelius on the Mecklenburg side of the lake and sit inside the area I cover. Mooresville, just north, has its own page.
Why one person instead of a Lake Norman agency?
You talk to the person who writes the code, the price is fixed before work starts, and you can stop care any month. If you want a big team with a marketing staff, an agency may fit you better.
