Our story

Built by people who've actually run a local business

Meridian started because our founders were tired of watching great local businesses lose customers to bad websites. Six years later, we've helped over 120 of them fix that.

Why we exist

Most agencies build for the portfolio. We build for the phone to ring.

Local and service businesses don't need a website that wins design awards — they need one that turns visitors into booked jobs. That's the only thing we optimize for.

No agency bloat

No 12-week discovery phases or 40-page brand decks. Just a proven structure that gets your site live fast.

Built by real operators

Our founding team ran a home services company before this. We know what a slow week actually costs you.

Numbers over opinions

Every layout choice comes from what actually converts across hundreds of local sites, not personal taste.
