Modern web design and marketing for Rochester Hills businesses
Shrimp Boat is a small web design agency in Rochester Hills, Michigan, serving small and growing businesses across Metro Detroit. I build custom websites, branding, and digital marketing for owners who want their online presence to actually pull its weight, not just exist.
Every site is designed to attract, engage, and convert the right customers, with a focus on speed, mobile performance, and search visibility. Whether you are launching something new or replacing a site that has stopped earning its keep, you get fifteen years of experience and one person who handles your project from first call to launch and beyond.

About
Ahoy, I'm Mieszko
Fifteen years building websites for small businesses around Metro Detroit. When you hire Shrimp Boat, you work directly with me — no account managers, no handoffs, no offshore team. Just one person who's seen what works and what doesn't.
Outside of work, I collect handmade briar pipes, play banjo, and walk my Newfoundland, Guinness. I speak Polish and Hungarian. That kind of detail tends to find its way into the work — it's what keeps a website from feeling like a template.

FAQ
Common Questions
Plain-English thoughts on web design, marketing, and running a small business online.
Are you a solo web designer or a web design agency?
I am a solo web designer. When you hire Shrimp Boat, you work directly with me, Mieszko, from the first conversation to launch and every email after. No account managers, no junior designers learning on your project, no handoffs. Read more about why hiring a solo web designer beats a national agency.
How many years of web design experience do you have in Metro Detroit?
15 years, building websites, brands, and marketing campaigns for small and mid-sized businesses across Metro Detroit and beyond. Every project goes through me personally.
Why should I hire a Rochester Hills web designer instead of a national agency?
Because you work with the person actually building your site. Because I know Metro Detroit, I meet local clients in person over coffee, and I know what works in this market. Because there is no agency markup paying for junior designers, pitch teams, and corporate overhead. And because when you need something fixed, you text me, not a ticketing system.
Do you work with clients outside Rochester Hills and Metro Detroit?
Yes, happily. I have clients across Michigan, around the US, in Poland, and in France. The in-person coffee only happens for local clients, but everyone gets the same direct communication over email, phone, and video.
How quickly do you respond to inquiries from Michigan businesses?
I reply within one business day, usually faster. If I am going to be away for more than that, I say so up front. You deal with me directly. No tickets, no portal, no waiting for a message to be passed along.
Let's Build Something
Every project starts with a conversation – a chance to learn about your goals, your business, and what you’d like your online presence to say about you. From there, I guide you through a clear, creative process that makes building your website simple, collaborative, and stress-free.
