Websites & Custom Systems That Move Your Organization Forward

What Do You Need Help With?

Sometimes the right answer is a stronger website. Sometimes it’s a better way to manage the work behind it. I build both.

Websites

I Need a Better Website

A professional website should clearly explain what you do, build trust, make important information easy to find, and work beautifully on phones, tablets, and computers.

I build websites around your organization, your audience, and your goals, with a strong foundation for search visibility from the start.

Custom Systems

I Need a Better Way to Run Something

If your team is relying on spreadsheets, paper, email chains, repetitive data entry, or software that simply doesn’t fit the way you work, there may be a better way.

I build custom tools around the process you actually need, from simple internal systems to larger platforms used across an entire organization.

Custom Systems Built Around the Way You Work

Sometimes the problem isn’t your website. It’s what happens behind the scenes.

I build practical custom systems for businesses, nonprofits, schools, churches, and other organizations that have outgrown spreadsheets, paper forms, disconnected tools, or software that simply doesn’t fit the way their team works.

The goal is not just to organize the work. It is to make important information easier to manage, reduce unnecessary steps, and give you clear reporting so you can quickly see what is happening across your organization.

You Don’t Need to Know What to Call It

If you can show me the process that is taking too much time, creating confusion, or forcing your team to work around existing software, we can start there.

The goal is simple: build something that makes the work easier.

01

Staff & Leadership Portals

Give the right people secure access to documents, information, tools, reports, and resources from one place.

02

Scheduling & Assignments

Manage schedules, work assignments, availability, recurring responsibilities, and changes without relying on scattered spreadsheets or messages.

03

Client & Resident Management

Keep profiles, history, program information, notes, activities, requirements, and important records organized in one system.

04

Tracking & Transactions

Track credits, vouchers, services, attendance, payments, inventory, activity, or almost any other process your organization needs to record.

05

Records & Documentation

Keep important information organized, searchable, and easy to access, with the documents and history your team needs available in one place.

06

Custom Workflows & Tools

Simplify repetitive processes, connect important steps, and create tools designed around the way your organization actually operates.

Clear Reporting Built In

See What’s Happening Without Digging Through the Data

If a system is collecting useful information, it should also help you understand it. Custom systems can include clear dashboards that bring important numbers, activity, trends, and outstanding items together in one place.

That gives your team a quick view of what is happening without having to search through records or build reports by hand. When you want to dig deeper, relevant data can also be exported to CSV so you can sort, filter, analyze, share, or work with it outside the system.

At-a-Glance Dashboards See the information that matters most without hunting through pages of records.
Useful Filters & Reports Break information down by the dates, locations, people, programs, categories, or other details that matter to you.
CSV Data Exports Take the underlying data with you when you want deeper analysis, custom spreadsheets, sharing, or long-term records.

Website Design

Professional Websites Built With Purpose

Your website should make it easy for people to understand who you are, what you offer, and where to go next, while giving your organization a professional online presence you can be confident in.

I build custom websites for businesses, nonprofits, churches, schools, and other organizations with a focus on clear messaging, thoughtful structure, responsive design, performance, and a strong foundation for search visibility.

01

Clear & Easy to Understand

Visitors should not have to figure out what you do. I organize your content, messaging, navigation, and calls to action so people can quickly find the information they need.

02

Designed for Every Screen

Your website is built to work cleanly across phones, tablets, laptops, and larger desktop screens, with layouts and typography that adapt instead of simply shrinking.

03

Built With Search in Mind

Every site starts with a strong SEO foundation so search engines can properly find, understand, and index your content. More advanced search strategy can be added when your goals call for it.

More Than Good Design

Built Around Your Organization, Not a Generic Template

Every organization is different. Your website should reflect your audience, your content, your goals, and the actions that matter most to you.

That may mean a streamlined site with a few focused pages, or a much larger build with custom forms, location pages, protected content, integrations, advanced SEO work, or connections to the systems your team uses behind the scenes.

Custom Structure Pages and navigation organized around what your visitors actually need to find.
Content & Messaging Support Help shaping and refining your content so it is clear, professional, and easy to understand.
Forms & Integrations Connect contact forms, applications, scheduling, donations, external tools, and other important functions.
SEO Options That Fit the Project From foundational setup to deeper keyword, content, location, and search-visibility strategy.

From a Simple Website to a Fully Custom Build

Streamlined website projects can start around $1,999. Most larger custom websites are priced based on the actual scope, content, functionality, and search strategy you need.

Recent Work

Websites & Systems Built Around Real Organizations

Every project is different. Some organizations need a stronger public-facing website. Others also need portals, workflows, reporting, forms, or custom tools working behind the scenes.

Here are a few examples of how I build around the actual needs of the organization instead of forcing every project into the same template or package.

Nonprofits & Mission-Driven Organizations

Websites & Systems That Support the Mission

Your website should help people understand your mission, find services, give, volunteer, register, or connect without confusion. Behind the scenes, your team should have tools that make the work easier too.

I build both: professional public-facing websites and practical custom systems that help nonprofits manage information, processes, reporting, and day-to-day operations more effectively.

01

Help People Understand & Connect

Clearly explain your mission, programs, services, events, locations, and next steps so the people you serve, supporters, volunteers, and community partners can quickly find what they need.

Program Pages Giving Volunteer Paths Events Mobile-Friendly
02

Make Important Actions Easier

Simplify the steps people need to take with custom forms, registrations, applications, donations, scheduling, and other online processes built around your organization.

03

Make the Work Behind the Mission Easier

Replace scattered spreadsheets, paper processes, and disconnected tools with custom systems that help your team stay organized and understand what is happening.

One Connected Approach

Your Website and Internal Systems Should Work Together

A nonprofit may need a public website that helps someone find services, a form that collects the right information, a staff portal that keeps records organized, and a dashboard that shows leadership what is happening.

Those do not have to be completely separate projects built by different companies. When it makes sense, I can build the public-facing experience and the tools your team relies on behind it.

Clear Public Experience Make it easier for people to understand your mission, programs, services, and next steps.
Practical Internal Tools Build workflows and systems around the way your team actually operates.
Reporting That Makes Sense Use dashboards for the big picture and CSV exports when you need to dig deeper into the data.
Special Nonprofit Pricing

More of Your Budget Can Stay Focused on the Mission

I know nonprofit budgets often have to stretch further. Qualifying organizations may receive reduced project pricing on websites, custom systems, and other eligible work.

Extended payment options may also be available on eligible projects to help make larger investments easier to manage.

Qualifying nonprofits may receive Up to 25% Off standard project pricing on eligible projects
Extended payment options may also be available.

The Person Behind Catalyst

I Look at More Than Just the Website

A website may be what your customers see, but it is often only one part of how your business or organization actually works.

I’m Chris Hughes, founder of Catalyst Web Co. For more than 20 years, I’ve been an entrepreneur, business owner, and organizational leader. That experience shaped the way I approach every project today.

When I look at a website, I’m thinking about your audience, your message, how people find information, and what happens after they take the next step. When I look at an internal process, I’m thinking about what your team has to do every day, where time is being wasted, what information matters, and how the process could work better.

My MBA education, executive leadership experience, and years of hands-on business ownership give me a perspective that goes well beyond design. You’re not just getting someone who can build a website or develop a system. You’re working with someone who understands business, operations, people, and how all of those pieces need to work together.

That means I can look at the bigger picture, identify what is actually getting in the way, and build the solution that makes the most sense. Sometimes that is a better website. Sometimes it is a custom system. Often, it is both.

Strategy Before Technology We start with what you are trying to accomplish, not with a list of software features.
Built Around Real Work Websites and systems are shaped around your audience, your team, and the way your organization actually operates.
One Person, Start to Finish You work directly with me throughout the project instead of being passed between salespeople, designers, and developers.

Pricing

Clear Pricing Built Around What You Actually Need

Some projects have a clear starting point. Others depend on the scope. Either way, we define what you need first so you know the price before the work begins.

Websites

Website Design

Starting at $1,999

From a focused professional website to a larger custom build, pricing grows with the actual scope of the project.

Essential From $1,999

A streamlined professional website for an organization that needs a strong, credible online presence.

Custom Typically from $3,000

Multi-page websites built around your content, audience, forms, functionality, and SEO needs.

Strategic Often $5,000–$10,000+

Larger builds with deeper content, advanced search strategy, integrations, or more complex functionality.

Custom Systems

Systems Built Around Your Process

Pricing approach Priced by Scope

A focused tracking tool and a full multi-user management platform are very different builds. The price should reflect what the system actually needs to do.

What affects the scope?
Users & Permissions Who uses it and what each person can see or manage.
Workflows & Automation The steps, approvals, alerts, forms, and processes involved.
Dashboards & Reporting Clear reporting, filters, detailed views, and CSV exports.
Data & Integrations Records, documents, history, imports, exports, and connected tools.
Simple process: We define what the system needs to accomplish first. Once the scope is clear, you receive a clear project price before the build begins.
Hosting & Support

Managed Website Care

Plans from $99/mo

Ongoing care so you do not have to manage the technical side of keeping your website secure, backed up, updated, and running properly.

Managed Care $99/mo

Hosting, security, backups, monitoring, maintenance, and performance management.

Care + Updates $149/mo

Adds reserved time each month for small content, photo, and website updates.

Priority Support $199/mo

More update time, reporting, and faster support for organizations with ongoing needs.

Custom Care Plan Priced to Your Needs

Need more ongoing support? I can build a monthly plan around heavier updates, SEO, content, reporting, multi-site support, integrations, or other recurring needs.

Flexible Payment Options

A Larger Project Does Not Always Have to Be Paid All at Once

On eligible projects, the project cost may be split into monthly payments for up to 12 months when paired with an ongoing monthly maintenance or support plan. That can make a larger website or custom system easier to budget without cutting back on what you actually need.

Payment terms up to 12 Months Available on eligible projects with ongoing monthly maintenance or support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Websites, Systems & Working Together

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. These are some of the questions that usually come up when businesses and organizations are deciding what they actually need.

What can Catalyst Web Co build?

I build professional websites along with custom systems such as staff portals, scheduling tools, client or resident management systems, dashboards, reporting tools, review management, tracking systems, custom workflows, forms, and other internal tools.

If you have a process that is difficult, repetitive, disconnected, or being managed through spreadsheets and paper, we can talk through whether a custom system would make sense.

Do I need a new website to have you build a custom system?

No. A custom system can be completely separate from your public website.

I can build an internal portal, management system, scheduling tool, reporting platform, or other custom solution even if your existing website stays exactly where it is.

What does a website cost?

Streamlined Essential website projects can start around $1,999.

Most fully custom websites begin around $3,000, while larger Strategic projects can move into the $5,000–$10,000+ range depending on content, functionality, integrations, search strategy, and overall scope.

Beyond the simplest projects, I price around what you actually need rather than forcing every website into a predefined package.

What does a custom system cost?

Custom systems are priced by scope because the difference between a focused internal tool and a full multi-user management platform can be substantial.

Pricing depends on things like users and permissions, workflows, records, dashboards, reporting, CSV exports, automation, integrations, documents, alerts, and the overall complexity of the system.

We define what the system needs to accomplish first. Once the scope is clear, you receive a clear project price before the build begins.

Can I see examples of your custom systems?

Yes. The Catalyst demo area includes working examples using sample data so you can explore dashboards, portals, tracking tools, reporting, workflows, and other features yourself.

The goal is to let you see how a system actually works, not just read a list of features.

Will my website be built for Google and modern search?

Yes. Every website starts with a strong SEO foundation, including clean structure, properly organized content, mobile usability, indexing setup, metadata, and other foundational elements that help search engines understand the site.

Projects that need a stronger search strategy can also include keyword research, location or service targeting, structured data, content strategy, and ongoing SEO work.

No one can responsibly guarantee a specific Google ranking, but I can make sure your website is built on a strong foundation for search visibility.

Can you improve something I already have?

Not everything needs to start over. If your current website or system has a solid foundation, I may be able to improve what is already there rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

That could mean improving the design or content, reorganizing pages, adding forms or integrations, strengthening the SEO foundation, improving a workflow, or adding new tools and functionality.

If the existing setup is outdated or creates more limitations than value, I will explain why a rebuild may make more sense before you commit to anything.

I’m not sure what I need. Can you help figure that out?

Absolutely. In many cases, that is part of the value I bring to the project.

You can show me what you are doing now, what is taking too much time, where people are getting confused, or what you wish worked differently. From there, we can determine whether the best solution is a website, a custom system, an improvement to something you already have, or a combination of those things.

Will you help with the website content too?

Yes. I help organize your message, structure the pages, refine the wording, and make sure the content is clear and useful to the people visiting the site.

You do not need to arrive with perfectly written website copy before the project begins.

Will everything work well on phones and larger screens?

Yes. Websites and systems are designed responsively for phones, tablets, standard laptops, larger laptops, and desktop displays.

The goal is not simply to shrink a desktop layout until it fits on a phone. Layouts, spacing, navigation, and typography are adjusted so the experience makes sense on the device being used.

How long does a project take?

Streamlined website projects can often be completed in roughly 1–2 weeks, while more involved custom websites commonly take 2–4 weeks or longer depending on content and scope.

Custom systems vary much more because the build may range from one focused tool to a large platform with multiple workflows, roles, reports, and integrations.

You will receive a clear expected timeline as part of the project scope.

Do you provide support after the project launches?

Yes. Managed Website Care starts at $99 per month and can include hosting, security, backups, monitoring, maintenance, website updates, reporting, and priority support depending on the level of care you need.

Standard plans are available at several levels, and custom monthly care plans can also be built for organizations that need more ongoing help. That can include additional update time, ongoing SEO work, content creation, deeper reporting, priority support, multi-site support, integrations, or other recurring needs.

Ongoing support and maintenance for custom systems can also be structured around the needs and complexity of the system.

Do you offer special pricing for nonprofits?

Yes. Because nonprofit budgets often have to stretch further, qualifying organizations may receive up to 25% off standard project pricing.

Extended payment options may also be available on eligible projects.

Do you only work with clients in Florida?

No. Catalyst Web Co is based in Brevard County, Florida, and I work with businesses and organizations locally and across the country.

Still Have a Question?

You do not need to know the technical answer before reaching out. Tell me what you are trying to accomplish and we can work through the best next step together.
