Knoxville websites without the agency bill.
I’m Emmett Green, a web designer based in Chattanooga, about two hours down I-75 from Knoxville. I build custom websites for Knoxville businesses starting at $199, and you deal with me the whole way. One person designs it, builds it and answers when you need a change.

Two hours away doesn’t slow anything down
We start with a 15-minute call about your business. A few days later you get your homepage design to look at on your own phone, and every round of changes after that happens over text or email. Whether you’re on Market Square, in the Old City or out in Farragut, the process is the same.
What I need from you is simple: your logo if you have one, photos of your work, your services and prices, and your hours. If your photos aren’t great or you’re not sure what to write, I’ll help with both.
What I’ve built so far
A real client site and a concept build. Each one designed and coded from scratch.
Showing up in Knoxville searches
Google’s map results lean heavily on how close a business is to the person searching. That means the thing that gets a Knoxville business into Knoxville map results is its own Google Business Profile with its Knoxville address, not where its web designer lives.
Every plan includes setting up that profile for you, plus the search basics on your site: Knoxville and your services in the right places, fast load times, and the structured info Google reads to understand what you do. Reviews from your customers do the rest, and I’ll show you an easy way to ask for them.

Knoxville questions
More answers are on the main FAQ.
With me, a Starter site with up to 3 pages starts at $199, a business site with online booking starts at $699 and an online store starts at $1,200. One established Knoxville agency puts the average business website at $500 to $5,000, and Knoxville designers on Clutch start at $1,000.
Yes. The whole process runs over calls, texts and email: a quick call to start, your homepage design to review on your phone, then the full build and a walkthrough at launch. You never need to drive anywhere.
Your site gets the search basics done right, and I set up your Google Business Profile with your Knoxville address, which is what Google uses for local map results. Reviews from your customers help most of all.
Most Starter sites are ready in a week to a week and a half. Growth sites usually take 2 to 3 weeks and online stores 3 to 6, depending on how quickly I get your photos and info.
