Web Design & Development
We build custom websites from the ground up. Fast, engaging, and built to perform well in search from day one. Every site we build is designed to work hard for your business long after launch — loading quickly, looking sharp on every device, and giving visitors a clear path to becoming clients.
Your website is your digital storefront. It should be welcoming to visitors and signal what you are selling, regardless of your products or services.
We don't use templates. We don't cut corners on performance. And we don't hand you something and disappear.

Website Rebuilds & Migrations
If your current site is slow, outdated, or built on a framework that's become more of a liability than an asset, we can fix that — without losing your content, your search rankings, or your sanity in the process.
We've migrated sites from just about every platform imaginable. The result is always the same: a faster, cleaner site that you're not embarrassed to send people to.

E-Commerce Development
If you’re selling online, you have to give your customers a great experience for every step of their journey. We build e-commerce sites that make buying easy — from product pages and checkout flow to payment processing and order management. We can even assist you with setting up automated customer follow-ups to foster loyalty and repeat business.
Whether you're selling a handful of custom products or services, or a full catalog, we'll build something that works reliably and grows with your business.

Hosting & Site Maintenance
Keeping a website running is not glamorous. It is still the difference between a site that is open and a site that is a liability.
We host on AWS CloudPanel with Cloudflare in front. Updates, backups, SSL, and someone in North Carolina watching the box are part of the job. You write or call us. There is no chatbot and no overseas ticket queue.
Plans and pricing are on Partnership Plans, starting at $150/month.
“The professionalism and attention to detail... has been beyond exceptional. Not only have they created an online environment for our Academy which has been a great success, but they have come to the rescue on more than one occasion when I needed help getting some things done that I did not understand.”

Search Engine Optimization
SEO isn't a task that you can complete, check the box, and you're done.
It's an ongoing refinement process to make sure your business shows up to the people who need to see it most—and that it stays visible as search behavior shifts from standard keywords to conversational AI engines.
We actively monitor your search performance, optimize your content and schema markup, identify gaps your competitors are exploiting, and deliver recommendations grounded in actual data. We won’t make vague promises about "ranking number one." Just honest, consistent work that builds real-world authority over time.

AI Search Visibility (GEO/AEO)
Search isn't just Google anymore.
More and more, your customers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude who to call — and getting an answer without ever seeing a list of blue links. If your business isn't structured in a way those tools can understand and trust, you don't lose a ranking. You disappear from the conversation entirely.
We already build schema markup into every site we maintain, so AI tools have a fighting chance of understanding who you are. This goes further. We audit exactly what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews currently say about your business — and what they say about your competitors instead. Then we build the structured content, deepen the schema, and clean up your Google Business Profile so you're the source those tools actually cite.
We won't tell you we can guarantee a mention in every AI answer. Nobody can promise that honestly, and we're not going to start now. What we will do is make sure your business has the best possible shot at being found — and keep watching as the landscape shifts, because it will keep shifting.
Not sure where you currently stand? Ask us about a Check-Up — a flat-fee look at exactly what AI tools are (or aren't) saying about you right now.

Google Ads Management
When it's working right, Google Ads puts your business in front of people who are actively looking for what you sell. When it's not working right, it's just burning money.
We manage Google Ads campaigns for clients with meaningful budgets who want to see a clear return on their ad spend. We handle the strategy, the setup, the ongoing optimization, and a monthly report that tells you in plain English what's working and what we're adjusting and why.
We require a minimum monthly ad spend of $500 — not because we're exclusive, but because below that threshold, the data isn't rich enough for our team to optimize effectively. For local businesses, a $500 to $2,000 monthly ad budget allows us to capture high-intent local searchers cleanly, without burning cash on empty clicks. We’d rather give you that straight technical reality upfront than take your money and underdeliver.

Conversion Tracking & Analytics
Knowing how many people visited your website is the least interesting thing your data can tell you.
We engineer the advanced conversion tracking infrastructure that answers the questions that actually matter—mapping exactly where your leads come from, which pages drive inquiries, and which marketing channels generate real business results.
When we're done, you'll know exactly what's working. And so will we.

Social Media Management
We'll be straight with you about this one before we ever propose managing your social media: it depends entirely on your business and your audience.
For hospitality businesses, restaurants, entertainment venues, and consumer-facing brands — social media is where your customers are and we know how to reach them there. We handle content planning, post creation, and promotion in a way that actually drives results rather than just filling a calendar.
For B2B companies — we'll have an honest conversation about where your buyers actually spend their time before we recommend anything. Sometimes social is part of the answer. Sometimes it isn't. We'd rather tell you the truth than sell you a package you don't need.

F.A.Q.
Q: Does Seaport Webworks build custom websites, or do you use templates?
A: We build every website from scratch, not with templates. Your site is designed and built for your business, top to bottom, so what people see online matches how you show up in the real world. It will load quickly, work well on every device, and guide your visitors toward becoming your customers.
Q: How much does a custom website cost?
A: There is no one package price, because every site has its own requirements. For an established local business, a new website or full rebuild will usually require an investment of between $4k to $8k. Larger or more complex projects run higher. Hosting and monthly care are separate and start at $150/month. If you want to know what the numbers would look like for your business, just send us an email at [email protected] with what you have now along with what you want to change. We will send you a quote with available options based upon what you described.
Q: Can you rebuild my existing website without losing our current Google rankings?
A: We keep the URLs, content, and set up redirects so Google does not treat your new site as a stranger. We will not promise that every ranking stays put. If the current site is slow or outdated, it is usually already leaking visibility. The rebuild is how we stop that and give search a clean site to work with.
Q: Do I have to move my website hosting to you?
A: No, you don't have to move your hosting to us. In practice, our clients do — because the site is only as good as the care behind it. We host on AWS with Cloudflare, handle updates and backups, and you reach a real person in North Carolina when something breaks. No chatbot, no overseas ticket queue. That starts at $150/month, and the level of attention is not what you get from a $12/month host with a help center. Plans and details are on our Partnership Plans page.
Q: Is SEO a one-time project or an ongoing service?
A: We will do a one-time SEO audit. That is a lay of the land: what is working, what is missing, and what is worth doing. It is not us flipping a switch and calling the site “optimized.” If you take action from the audit, SEO still needs an eye on it at least a couple of times a year — monthly or quarterly if you want someone else watching it.
Q: What is AI search visibility (GEO / AEO)?
A: It is the work of making your business understandable to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — not only to the old list of blue links. That means schema, clear service and location pages, and a Google Business Profile that matches the site. We do not promise that every AI answer will name you. We will tell you what those tools say about you now, and what is missing.
Q: What is an AI Visibility Check-Up?
A: This is our flat-fee look at what major AI tools currently say — or do not say — about your business compared with competitors. You get the picture before you spend on ongoing work. It is not a monthly retainer.
Q: Do you manage Google Ads for small budgets?
A: We manage Google Ads when there is enough spend to learn from. The floor is $500/month in ad budget, separate from our management fee. Below that, there is not enough data to optimize honestly, and we would rather say so than take the account.
Q: Do you manage social media for every business?
A: No. In fact, we will discourage you from spending money on social media marketing if we think it won't move the needle for your business. Social media marketing fits well with hospitality, restaurants, tourism, experiences, and other consumer businesses where customers already scroll. For a lot of B2B firms it is window-dressing but does little to drive ROI. We will say which side you are on before we quote a package.
Q: What does Seaport Webworks' conversion tracking and analytics service include?
A: Advanced tracking infrastructure that shows exactly where your leads come from, which pages drive inquiries, and which marketing channels are actually producing results for your business.
Q: Where is Seaport Webworks located?
A: We are located in Emerald Isle on North Carolina's Crystal Coast. We build for businesses here and across the country. When you contact us, you write or call a real person — not a chatbot and not an overseas ticket queue.
