A little about me

Hi, my name is Steve Potter. That’s me in Cape Cod, MA, with my best buddy, Mr. Briggs — a cheerful three‑year‑old English Cream Golden Retriever. I’m the owner of Beacon Web Works, where my team and I help small businesses create professional websites that deliver real results.

With 20+ years of technology experience, web development, and design, we create websites that are visually appealing and functional, mobile and SEO-friendly, and aligned with your business goals.

I believe every small business deserves a strong online presence, and my mission is to make that possible — whether you’re launching your first website or giving your current one a fresh, modern update. Together, we’ll build a custom solution that fits your needs and your budget.

Mr. Briggs, our team, and I would love the opportunity to work with you and help your business thrive online!


My Personal Guarantee to You

Frequently Asked Questions

 
Why should I use Beacon Web Works to create my website?
Beacon Web Works exists to make professional websites affordable and stress-free for local small businesses. Instead of struggling with DIY builders that look unprofessional or quickly become outdated, you get a clean, modern site that builds trust, attracts customers, and reflects your real business.

You always start with a free custom design preview, transparent pricing, and dedicated local support—without the big-agency price tag.

 
Will you really design my site for free?
Yes. Every project starts with a free, custom homepage design tailored to your business—no strings attached.

You see exactly what your site could look like before you spend a dime. If you love it, we move forward together. If you don’t, you owe nothing. No hidden fees. No risk. Just a genuine, risk-free way to see professional web design in action.

 
What's included in the monthly service fee?
Your monthly fee is all-inclusive website management. It covers:
  • Reliable, worry-free hosting
  • SSL site security (https)
  • Software and security updates
  • Bug fixes and performance tuning
  • All content changes you need
  • Ongoing expert support

Think of it as insurance for your online presence—we handle every technical and content task so your site stays secure, up-to-date, and looking its best.
 
How reliable and secure will my website be?
Your website is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the same cloud platform trusted by Fortune 500 companies. You can expect up to 99.99% uptime, 256-bit encrypted HTTPS, a free SSL certificate, multi-layer backups, and real-time monitoring.

In plain English: your site is fast, secure, and virtually always online when your customers need it.


Will my website look good on smartphones?
Absolutely. Every Beacon Web Works site is fully responsive, designed to adapt instantly to any screen—phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.

With most web traffic coming from mobile users, we design so your business looks sharp, loads fast, and is easy to use right in the palm of your customer’s hand.

Do you offer SEO optimization as part of your services?
Yes. Every site we build is engineered for SEO from day one. We optimize your content, site structure, and load speed so your business is easier to find on Google and other major search engines, with a special focus on local results to attract customers in your area.

As search evolves with AI and new technology, we keep your site aligned with current best practices, so you stay visible and competitive.

What about my domain name?
Already have a domain? You can keep it. If you still own your current domain, we’ll help you point it to your new Beacon Web Works site with a smooth, secure, downtime-free transition.

Don’t have a domain yet? We’ll help you choose, register, and set up a professional, easy-to-remember web address that fits your brand—then connect everything for you.

Do you only work with businesses in Connecticut?
No. While we’re proudly based in Branford, CT, we serve clients across Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and the entire United States.

Our streamlined process—using phone, email, and virtual meetings—makes it easy to work together no matter where you’re located, without sacrificing personal attention.
