Professional web design for local businesses in Dayton and Columbus, Ohio.
What We Do
We build fast, sharp websites that turn visitors into customers. No templates. No filler. Just work that earns its place on every screen.
01
Custom-built from scratch. No page builders, no shortcuts, no recycled templates. Every layout designed specifically around your business.
02
Ranking in Dayton and Columbus starts with a site built the right way from the ground up. We wire in local SEO from day one — not as a $99 add-on.
03
Most agencies hand you a login and disappear. We stay. Updates, improvements, and honest advice as your business grows — for as long as you need us.
Most local business websites
are an afterthought.
Yours doesn't have to be.
We build websites that make a first impression worth having — and keep working long after launch day.
How It Works
01
We learn your business, your customers, and what sets you apart. Strategy before a single pixel is placed.
02
A clean, custom design built around your brand — presented for your review before any code is written.
03
Fast, hand-coded development. Mobile-first, optimized for search, built to perform on every device.
04
We handle everything — hosting, domain, go-live. Then we stick around to make sure it keeps performing.
About Forge
We're Gavin and Sam — two web designers based in Dayton and Columbus. We started Forge because we kept seeing local businesses get handed generic templates by agencies that had never set foot in Ohio.
Every site we build has one job: to make your business look like the obvious choice.
