Most small businesses in Racine end up hiring a freelancer they found on Google — someone in another state, another time zone, maybe another country. The site looks fine at first. Then something breaks at 9 PM on a Friday, and nobody answers.
We’re different because we’re here. We drive past your storefront. We eat at your restaurant. We know what Racine customers search for because we are Racine customers.
When you hire Fourth Coast Web, you’re hiring a neighbor who happens to have 15 years of professional engineering experience. That combination — local knowledge plus enterprise-grade skill — is why our sites outperform the template shops.

Questions Racine business owners ask us.
How much does a website cost in Racine?
Our custom WordPress sites start at $2,500 for a standard 5-page business site. Every project is scoped individually based on what you need — no cookie-cutter packages.
Do I need to be in Racine to work with Fourth Coast Web?
No. We work with businesses across Wisconsin and nationwide. But being local means we can meet in person, understand your market firsthand, and respond faster than a remote-only shop.
Why WordPress instead of Wix or Squarespace?
WordPress is open-source. You own your code, your content, and your hosting. If you ever want to switch providers, you take everything with you. With Wix or Squarespace, you’re renting — and you can’t leave without starting over.
What’s included in the free site audit?
We run a full diagnostic on your site’s loading speed, mobile responsiveness, SEO health, security status, and AI search visibility. You get a written report with specific recommendations — no sales pitch required.
How long does it take to build a website?
A typical 5-page business site takes 3-4 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects with custom functionality take 6-8 weeks. We’ll give you a timeline before we start.
