In-house case study

Built for real operations—not just presentation.

Fortes Brothers—the family-operated service business Justin helps run—needed internal tools that could make detailed information easier for managers to understand and act on. Fortes Web Studio translated those needs into an organized, mobile-ready system.

The story behind Fortes

Built by someone who runs a business, too.

JF
Justin FortesFounder · Local-business operator

I’m Justin Fortes, founder of Fortes Web Studio. I also run and operate my family’s local service business, which has been serving customers for more than 40 years. Working inside a real business shaped how I build: make information clear, make the next step easy, and create tools people will actually use.

I have also built internal websites and business tools for our company. One example is Fortes Portal, a custom platform that brings safety information, performance reporting, and management workflows into one organized place. That same practical mindset guides every Fortes website—understand the business first, then build something that genuinely supports it.

Good questions

Before we get started.

What is included in the $399 website setup?

One custom scrolling page with up to six focused content sections, business-ready structure and copy, responsive design, one basic contact or quote form, call or text buttons, two rounds of changes, and launch assistance. The form and buttons are included page elements and do not use one of the six sections. Domain registration, business email, paid advertising, ongoing SEO, and third-party fees are separate.

Can I add more pages or features?

Yes. Standard pages and common connections have clear add-on prices in the planner. Stores, portals, databases, custom booking systems, content-management systems, AI, and other advanced work receive a custom quote.

Does the website guarantee leads or appointments?

No. We can make it easier for visitors to understand the business and contact, schedule, or buy. Traffic, advertising, ongoing SEO, rankings, leads, appointments, and sales are not included or guaranteed.

How quickly can my website launch?

A typical base-only build takes three to five business days after payment, approved direction, and all required content and assets are received. Revisions, DNS propagation, add-ons, and third-party approvals may extend the timing, which is confirmed per project.

Can you use my existing logo, photos, and reviews?

Yes. Your real brand assets, work photos, service details, and approved reviews help the finished website feel more credible and specific.

Are these template websites?

No. Each website is custom designed around the business, its services, preferred style, customers, and goals. Layouts, content, calls to action, and agreed features are tailored to the project.

Is the $29 care plan required?

No. Website care is optional for active Fortes clients. It includes one small batch of routine text or image changes, up to 30 minutes per month, plus general issue review. Redesigns, new pages or features, content creation, urgent support, and third-party fees are quoted separately.

Who owns the domain and connected accounts?

Your domain and third-party service accounts stay in your name. Hosting, platform access, source files, and handoff terms are confirmed in writing before purchase.
