Eric MacDonald, founder of WebBuilders, has a simple mission: transform the web design landscape by making it accessible to everyone, regardless of business size. His journey began at the age of 13, when his father tasked him with building a website for his small company. It was an experience that would not only ignite the founder’s passion for web development but also lay the foundation for what would become WebBuilders.us.
“When I was 13, my dad asked me to create a website for his business,” recalls MacDonald. “I knew nothing about web design or development and was shocked by the high prices for creating websites. Some simple designs were priced at $1,500!”
These early frustrations with the high cost of web design sparked an idea that would lead to the launch of WebBuilders. MacDonald realized that there was a gap in the market for affordable, high-quality websites, especially for small businesses that couldn't justify spending large amounts of money on a website.
He founded WebBuilders to provide a solution. “Our mission is to make professional web design accessible to everyone,” he says. His platform prides itself on offering a range of custom websites at an affordable price point. For just $299, businesses can get a base website designed and developed by a team of experienced professionals. Speed is also part of the WebBuilders value proposition, as it delivers websites that can be up and running in as little as a day. High-priced agencies, meanwhile, can take months to launch a website.
One of the key elements of WebBuilders' success is its emphasis on customer service and customization. The company understands that every business has unique needs, and they offer tailored solutions that align with those specific goals. Whether you're a small startup or an established business, WebBuilders aims to deliver an online aesthetic that reflects your brand but also meets your business’ functional needs, be it a dazzling online portfolio or a seamless e-commerce.
MacDonald knows the importance of digital branding. For example, he chose the .US domain for WebBuilders.us because it perfectly aligns with his vision for the company.
The .US domain was “the best fit for my company,” he says. “It helps demonstrate where our company takes place and it can have two meanings." This domain choice underscores the local, community-focused nature of WebBuilders, while also highlighting the company's commitment to serving businesses across the United States.
With a passion for making web design both accessible and affordable, MacDonald has managed to break down barriers for businesses that otherwise might not have had access to professional websites. His hands-on approach has earned WebBuilders a reputation for quality and reliability, with online testimonials from tech-savvy upstarts like Doodle and Atomic, as well as localized businesses like T&B Realty.
WebBuilders continues to thrive, helping entrepreneurs, small businesses, and even larger enterprises create an online presence without breaking the bank. MacDonald's online venture proves you don't need a large budget to have a stunning website. He, for example, created WebBuilders.US which not only has a catchy web address, but a memorable design that is futuristic. More importantly, it is functional. It clearly communicates his web agency’s unique value proposition, client experience and process. And, of course, he makes it easy for aspiring entrepreneurs to contact him with their website ideas.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, WebBuilders is proving that professional web design can be democratized for organizations of all sizes.
