Every site I build is driven by strategy first—clear messaging, intuitive paths, and measurable outcomes.
Whether you’re a small business or a nonprofit,
I design for results—from semi-custom websites to
fully custom platforms with advanced automations and integrations,
all built fully optimized for mobile to perform beautifully on every device.
When you work with me, you’re partnering with an
experienced entrepreneur who understands how design, SEO, and operations work together
to drive growth.

I have a genuine heart for organizations that make a difference—those who serve people, meet needs, and help their communities thrive.
Whether your focus is education, outreach, family services, or community support, your website should clearly communicate your mission and make it easy for people to get involved.
I believe great work should support great causes. That’s why I offer meaningful nonprofit discounts of at least 50% on design and development—and in some cases, can even waive the build cost when partnered with hosting & maintenance. My goal is simple—to help you make a bigger impact while keeping more of your budget focused on the people you serve.
Clear pages and next steps that make support simple—donate (one-time or recurring), volunteer, register for events, subscribe, or reach out—so more people say “yes.”
I clarify your message, map intuitive navigation, and set up SEO essentials. Behind the scenes, I streamline operations—forms and workflows, donor/membership tracking, media libraries, and email/CRM connections—so your team can focus on people, not paperwork.
I partner with nonprofits whose missions align with my values. Eligible organizations can choose flexible options—from discounted builds to no-cost website creation when paired with ongoing hosting & maintenance—helping you stay secure, effective, and growing long after launch.
Hi, I’m Chris Hughes—founder of Catalyst Web Co. For over 20 years, I’ve been an entrepreneur, building and growing my own businesses from the ground up. Along the way, I designed and built every website myself, learning firsthand how the right online presence can drive credibility, trust, and results.
Catalyst was born out of my love of design—and my desire to help others succeed. Today, I work with small businesses and nonprofits across the country to create websites that not only look incredible but perform with purpose. For nonprofits, it’s about expanding your reach and impact. For businesses, it’s about turning more visitors into loyal customers.
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a designer. You’re partnering with someone who combines an MBA education, executive leadership experience, and years of hands-on business growth. That means you get a strategic partner who understands how to help you grow—online and beyond. I build every site with both your audience and your operations in mind, ensuring it’s fast, secure, and fully optimized for mobile.
Whether you need a professional website for your business or a mission-driven platform for your organization, I’ll work closely with you to shape a solution tailored to your goals. If you’re ready to elevate your online presence and make a greater impact, let’s talk about what’s possible.
Let’s ConnectI design professional, strategy-driven websites for small businesses and nonprofits—sites built to look great, load fast, and support real business goals, not just exist online.
Your website is often the first impression someone has of your organization. In just a few seconds, visitors decide whether to trust you, explore further, or move on. That’s why every site I build focuses on clarity, credibility, and conversion from the start.
Whether you need a simple online presence or a more robust platform designed to generate leads and support growth, I take a focused, intentional approach—balancing clean design with practical strategy.

Here are some of the most common questions clients ask before starting their website project—whether they’re a growing business or a mission-driven nonprofit.
I’m not just a designer—I’m a strategic partner who has led and grown organizations. I build clean, modern websites that show what you do best, attract the right customers, and are optimized to rank on Google. Small businesses get affordable pricing, and I offer ongoing care to keep your site fast, secure, and performing like it should.
Timelines depend on scope, but most projects move quickly and predictably. A streamlined one-page site is often completed in about one week. Most multi-page projects land in the 1–3 week range. Larger custom builds (with more pages, integrations, or complex features) can take longer—I'll give you a clear timeline up front and keep you updated throughout.
Yes. I love partnering with nonprofits, schools, and community-based organizations whose missions make a real difference. I offer meaningful nonprofit discounts and, in some cases, no-cost builds when paired with hosting & maintenance—so you can stretch your budget further and reach more people online.
Many low-cost services use cookie-cutter templates and neglect performance, mobile optimization, and real SEO—so your site may not rank or convert. What looks inexpensive up front can cost more in lost visibility and missed opportunities.
Website design packages start at $999 for a streamlined one-page site. Most businesses invest $1,999+ for a growth-focused website built to guide visitors, capture leads, and support long-term results.

I serve a wide range of small businesses and nonprofits nationwide—service providers, trades, contractors, consultants, restaurants, retail, professional practices, schools, churches, and community organizations. Startups and established organizations are both welcome.
I take a personalized approach and limit active projects so each one receives full attention. I’m a great fit for clients who value strategy and quality. I also partner with organizations whose missions align with my values and will always be transparent if a project isn’t the right fit.
I’m based in Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast and work with clients anywhere in the U.S. I personally design, build, and deploy every site—I don’t outsource to third parties.
Yes—copy support is included in every package. I’ll help you clarify your message, organize your pages, and polish your wording so it feels authentic, supports SEO, and leads visitors to take action. If you need heavier lift copywriting (writing everything from scratch, longer pages, or deeper brand messaging), I can quote that as part of the project.
Definitely. Every site includes foundational SEO: clean code, fast load times, mobile-first responsive design, structured headings, and meta titles/descriptions. I also submit your site to Google Search Console for faster indexing.
If you choose a hosting & maintenance plan, I’ll continue optimizing—adding content, refining pages, and keeping things fresh so you can keep climbing in search.
Yes. Most projects are 50% at agreement and 50% at launch. For larger builds, staged payments are available. Many businesses and nonprofits also qualify for a 12-month payment plan on website design when paired with a hosting & maintenance plan.

Yes. Hosting & maintenance plans start at $99/month and include secure cloud hosting, backups, security monitoring, and technical support to keep your site stable and protected. Plans with monthly hands-on update time are available on higher tiers when you want reserved time each month for content updates and ongoing improvements.

Yes. I offer logo design and visual identity work so your brand looks professional and consistent across every touchpoint.
