About
Austin, founder of Lure — a recent University of Georgia graduate, photographed on campus in Athens, GA. University of Georgia · Spring 2026

Hi, I'm Austin.

I'm a recent University of Georgia graduate and the designer behind Lure. I started Lure to give Athens businesses websites that work as hard as they do — fast, custom-built, and made to turn visitors into customers.

Every site is hand-coded by me personally — no templates, no outsourcing, no agency runaround. Work with Lure and you work directly with the person building your site.

Why Lure

What makes this different

No WordPress, No Templates

Every line of code is written for your business. That means faster load times, better Google rankings, and a site that doesn't look like everyone else's.

Mobile-First, Always

Over 70% of your customers will visit from their phone. Every site is designed mobile-first with click-to-call buttons, fast menus, and thumb-friendly navigation.

Built for Athens, Georgia

I live here and I build for businesses here. That means local SEO baked in, Google Business Profile optimization, and content written for the people searching in your area.

How It Works

From first call to live site in four steps

01

Discovery

We talk about your business, your customers, and what you need the site to do. No jargon, no upsells.

02

Design

I build a custom design from scratch — your brand colors, your voice, your industry. No templates.

03

Build

Hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JS. No WordPress, no page builders. Fast, lightweight, and built to rank on Google.

04

Launch

Your site goes live with SEO, mobile optimization, and analytics already set up. Most sites launch within 1–2 weeks.

FAQ

Common questions from Athens, Georgia business owners

How much does a website cost for a small business in Athens, Georgia? +
Every project is quoted individually based on your specific needs. Features like online ordering, booking systems, and SEO setup affect the scope. Every site I build is custom hand-coded with no hidden fees or monthly contracts. Contact me for a free consultation.
How long does it take to build a small business website? +
A typical small business website takes 3–7 days from kickoff to launch. Simple single-page sites can be ready in as little as 24–48 hours. I prioritize fast turnarounds so your business starts generating leads sooner.
Do you build websites with WordPress? +
No. I build lightweight, hand-coded HTML/CSS/JS websites that load 3–5x faster than WordPress. No plugins to update, no security vulnerabilities, no bloat. Every site is custom-built and optimized for Google.
Can you help my Athens, Georgia business rank higher on Google? +
Yes. Every website includes on-page SEO fundamentals: proper meta tags, fast load times, mobile-first design, structured data, and local keyword optimization. I also offer standalone SEO audits for existing sites.
What industries do you specialize in? +
I've built websites for restaurants, barbershops, boxing gyms, nail salons, hair salons, cafes, fitness studios, auto shops, and other local Athens, Georgia businesses. Every site is unique — no templates, no recycled designs.
Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page? +
Yes. 75% of consumers research a business online before visiting, and a Facebook page alone does not rank well on Google. A professional website gives you full control over your brand and shows up in local search results where customers are looking.
