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.
Explore a few examples below—click any project to view the live website and see what’s possible.
A comprehensive redesign with 95+ pages, a custom report card system, secure document sharing, dynamic job applications, and 50+ tailored backend forms that streamline operations. The site quickly reached the first page of Google—showing how the right strategy can turn a website into the operational heartbeat of an organization.
A custom build that helps families quickly understand programs, schedules, and next steps while showcasing the school’s caring environment. Indexed on the first page for “preschools near me” within a week—demonstrating how thoughtful structure and messaging translate into real visibility and confident parent action.
A fully custom build designed to support both ministry impact and operational efficiency. This project included strategically structured ministry pages, sermon organization, custom form workflows, and mobile-first user journeys that guide new guests from first visit to connection. Behind the scenes, tailored backend systems streamline follow-up, communication, and internal processes—turning the website into a central tool for both engagement and day-to-day operations.
A clean, strategic build designed for instant mobile access to hours, directions, and the live tap list—while strengthening local SEO and long-term brand growth.
A highly custom platform built to serve multiple audiences simultaneously—those seeking help, donors, shoppers, and community partners. The site was designed with clear action paths, custom workflows, donation pickup scheduling, and multi-location routing to reduce friction at every step. Combined with backend systems that simplify intake, communication, and coordination, the result is a website that actively supports the mission—not just represents it.
If your organization is making a real impact, your website should clarify your message, build trust fast, and guide visitors to take action— donate, volunteer, register, or reach out—without confusion.
Clear donation and volunteer paths, simplified event signups, and friction-free contact points.
Messaging, navigation, and SEO foundations designed to help the right people find you — and take the next step.
Forms, automations, and backend systems that save staff time and keep things running smoothly after launch.
Verified nonprofits receive up to 25% off standard website build costs and 12-month payment options (with qualifying hosting & maintenance).
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 and build custom websites for small businesses and nonprofits that are meant to do more than just look good—they are built to be found, build trust quickly, and turn visitors into real opportunities.
Today, having a website is not enough. If people cannot find you on Google, or if your site is not structured in a way that aligns with how search engines and AI-driven results evaluate content, you are missing opportunities before someone ever reaches out.
Every website I build is designed with that in mind—from clean structure and fast performance to on-page SEO and content organization that supports both traditional search rankings and emerging AI-powered discovery. At the same time, the site is built to guide visitors clearly once they arrive, helping them understand what you do and take the next step with confidence.
I take a strategic, hands-on approach to every project. No templates, no shortcuts, and no one-size-fits-all builds. Each website is intentionally designed around your business, your audience, and the actions you want people to take.

Here are some of the most common questions clients ask before starting their website project.
I’m not just a designer—I’m a strategic partner who understands how businesses grow. I build custom websites that are designed to be found online, build trust quickly, and convert visitors into real opportunities.
I limit active projects so each one gets focused attention, and I personally handle every build—no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
Most websites fail before anyone ever lands on them. They are not built to be found in search, they load slowly, or they are not structured in a way that search engines and AI-driven results can understand and surface.
Even when people do find them, many sites lack clear messaging, direction, and user flow—so visitors leave without taking action.
A website should do three things well: get found, build trust quickly, and guide people to the next step. If it misses any of those, it underperforms.
Most projects move quickly and predictably. Streamlined builds are typically completed in 1–2 weeks, while most multi-page websites land in the 2–4 week range.
I’ll give you a clear timeline up front and keep everything moving so you’re not waiting around.
Yes. I regularly work with nonprofits, churches, schools, and mission-driven organizations. These projects often require more advanced structure—donations, volunteer pathways, program pages, and long-term scalability.
Verified nonprofits may receive up to 25% off custom pricing and access to a 12-month payment option when paired with hosting & maintenance.
Most low-cost services rely on templates and skip the things that actually matter—SEO structure, mobile optimization, performance, and user flow.
The biggest cost isn’t what you pay—it’s what you lose when your website doesn’t get found or doesn’t convert.
Custom website projects start at $1,999.
Most businesses invest $2,500–$5,000+ for a growth-focused website with strong structure, messaging, and conversion strategy.
More advanced builds—such as multi-location sites, integrations, or custom operational systems—are quoted based on scope.
Yes. Every site is built with foundational SEO—clean structure, fast performance, mobile-first design, and properly organized content.
I also build sites in a way that aligns with how modern search and AI-driven results evaluate and surface content, so you are positioned not just for today, but where things are going.
Yes. I help you clarify your message, structure your pages, and refine your content so it feels authentic, supports SEO, and drives action.
Most projects are structured as 50% at agreement and 50% at launch.
