San Diego Web Design
Web design for
San Diego small businesses.
Custom websites built around your business: fast, clean, easy to find on Google, and supported by the same person who built them. Packages start at $2,995, and the pricing is public.
A website that works as hard as you do
Most small businesses don't need a big agency or a big-agency invoice. They need a website that loads fast, explains what they do in plain language, looks credible on a phone, and makes it easy for the right person to get in touch. That is exactly what we build.
BURDS NERDS is a San Diego studio led by designer and developer Matt Burd. You work directly with the person building your site, from the first conversation to launch. No account managers, no handoffs, and no pressure to buy things you don't need.
Every website we build includes
- Custom responsive design and development
- Mobile, tablet, and desktop optimization
- Technical SEO foundation
- Google Analytics 4 setup
- Search Console setup or guidance
- Contact form with spam protection
- SSL setup
- Launch support
- Three months of included site care
How a project works
Every project runs on clear milestones, so you always know where things stand. Most websites go from kickoff to launch in 4 to 8 weeks.
1. Discovery
A real conversation about your business, your clients, and what the website needs to do. No pitch deck.
2. Design mockups
You see the look and structure of your site before anything is built, and shape it with us.
3. Development
We build the site: fast pages, clean structure, and a technical SEO foundation baked in.
4. Revisions
Three revision rounds are included, so the details get right before launch, not after.
5. Launch and support
We handle the launch, then stick around: every project includes three months of site care.
Transparent pricing, published for everyone

Custom-built is our flagship, not our only answer
Most of our websites are custom-built from scratch, because for a typical small business site it is simply a stronger foundation: fewer moving parts, less to break, faster pages, and a clean structure that search engines read easily. You can read exactly what that means in plain English on our custom website design page.
That said, custom code is not the right answer for everyone. If you plan to publish content weekly or manage a large library of pages yourself, WordPress may serve you better. If you want a simple site you can edit without help, Squarespace might be the fit. We build on both, and we will tell you honestly which one matches how you plan to run your site.
Work that brings in inquiries, not just compliments
We've built websites for therapists, health and wellness clinics, recovery organizations, bookkeepers, community foundations, coffee shops, and creative studios across San Diego and Southern California. Here is what two of them said.
"I have nothing but praise for Matt's work. I am beyond happy with how he designed my beautiful website. I don't know how he did it, but within days of the launch, I received multiple inquiries on the site."
- Erin Hickman, LMFT
"Matt made my website better than I imagined. A detailed understanding of my business values paved the way for a clear description of what I offer."
- Juan Ramirez, L.Ac., San Diego

Common questions
Our website packages start at $2,995 for a Launch Site, $4,995 for a Growth Site, and $7,500 for a Custom Site. The final quote depends on page count, copywriting, photography, and integrations, and you always see a clear number before work begins. All pricing is public on the pricing page.
Most projects run 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch, with clear milestones: discovery, mockups, development, revisions, and launch. The biggest variable is content. When copy, photos, and feedback arrive on time, timelines hold.
We are based in San Diego and most of our clients are in Southern California, but the whole process works smoothly by phone, email, and video, so we work with businesses anywhere.
That depends on how you want to run your site. If you want to edit content yourself regularly, WordPress or Squarespace may be the better fit, and we build on both. If you would rather never think about updates, our custom-built sites plus a care plan handle everything for you. We recommend the setup that matches how you actually work.
Every project includes three months of site care: security, backups, uptime monitoring, and small fixes. After that, maintenance plans start at $49 per month, or you can pay for support as needed.
