Dead Pixel Design

Web design in Houlton, from someone who lives here.

Dead Pixel Design is me, David Russell, in Houlton. I design and build websites for businesses in the County and across Maine, and you deal with me from the first call to launch.

Freedom Painting homepage: Your Home Deserves Better, veteran owned and licensed in the State of Maine, with a free quote button and the phone number

A Houlton business, built before they asked.

Freedom Painting is a veteran-owned painting company here in Houlton. I built their homepage on spec and sent it over. They said yes, and it became the paid site that’s live today.

It puts what a painting customer around Houlton needs first: veteran owned, licensed in Maine, serving the Greater Houlton area, and the phone number above the fold.

What a County business needs from a website.

Most businesses up here run on word of mouth and the phone. That doesn’t make a website optional. It makes its job simpler. Somebody hears your name, searches it, and looks at your site on their phone before they call. If the site is slow, out of date, or buries the number, some of them don’t call.

So the work is plain: say what you do and where you do it, show real jobs, make the phone number and the quote request impossible to miss, and load fast on a rural connection. Search basics (titles, descriptions, local details and a sitemap) are set up at launch so people searching for your kind of business in the County can find you.

The services are on the website design page. If your customers need to book, order, or log in, that’s a custom web app, scoped separately.

Common questions

What Houlton business owners ask.

Is there really a web designer in Houlton?

Yes. I'm David Russell and Dead Pixel Design is me, working out of Houlton. I design and build websites for businesses here and across Maine, and I answer my own phone: 207-538-1339.

Do we meet in person?

Projects run by phone, email and video call, so it works the same whether you are on Main Street or out past Mars Hill. You still deal with one person from the first call to launch.

How much does a website cost in Aroostook County?

It's quoted per project. You get a written scope and a fixed price before any work starts, so you know exactly what you're paying for. See how quoting works on the process page.

My customers mostly call. Does a website still matter?

That's the main reason to have one. People search, look at your site on their phone, and then call. The site's job is to make that call easy: who you are, where you work, and the number, up top.

Tell me what your business does.

You’ll get a fixed price in writing before any work starts, or a straight answer that I’m not the right fit. Or call or text 207-538-1339
