Lakefront Web is two web designers in Lakeview, Michigan, founded in 2025. We build modern websites for local small businesses, and we stick around long after launch.
Too many small businesses get handed a slow, template-shaped website and then left to fend for themselves. We started Lakefront Web to work the other way around. Every site gets built from scratch, tuned to load fast and read clearly, and we stay close enough afterward to actually help.
“Surface” is the part your customers feel: the design, the words, the way it moves. “Depth” is the engineering underneath that keeps it quick and easy to change. Most designers are good at one. We care about both.
We're local and we like it that way. We take on a small number of projects so each one gets real attention. When you need a change six months from now, you're talking to the person who built your site rather than a ticket queue.

Co-founders · designer + engineer
Between us we cover the whole build: design and words on one side, engineering and performance on the other. You work with both of us directly, start to finish. No account managers, and no handoffs to a team you never meet.

Two designers just starting out can't lean on a wall of logos. What we can promise is how we work.
You work directly with the people building your site. Nobody relays your messages to a team you never meet.
Straight to the makers
No agency runaround
We build sites to be fast and to age well. Clean code, and a structure that stays easy to change as your business does.
Built to last
Performance & maintainability
We're local. When you need a change or have a question after launch, there's a real person nearby who already knows your site.

Discover
We start with a conversation about your goals and what the site actually has to do for your business. Strategy before pixels.
Design
Built around your brand, never a template. You see real design early and shape it with us before a line of code gets written.
Build
Hand-built and quick on every device. Component-driven engineering that stays easy to update as your business changes.
Launch & tend
We ship it and make sure search engines can find it. Then we stay close, handling the hosting and the edits that keep a site from going stale six months in.
