Web Design for Rochester, Michigan Businesses
Downtown Rochester is one of Michigan’s best Main Streets, a thriving mix of historic charm and modern business with over 350 shops, restaurants, and professional services. The Big Bright Light Show draws 56,000 visitors on opening night alone. Paint Creek Trail brings outdoor enthusiasts year-round. With 85% of downtown businesses independently owned, this is a community that supports local. If you run a business here, your website needs to reflect that same quality and character.
I’m Mieszko
I help Rochester businesses build websites that actually bring in customers, not just look pretty.
Rochester, MI
Why Rochester Businesses Need Strong Websites
Rochester punches well above its weight. This small city — Oakland County’s first settlement, founded in 1818 — maintains a 97% downtown occupancy rate and attracts visitors from across Michigan for events like Lagniappe, the Art & Apples Festival, and the legendary Big Bright Light Show. The foot traffic is there. The question is: are customers finding you online before they arrive?
Here’s the reality for Rochester business owners:
Visitors planning a trip downtown are searching before they go. “Best brunch Rochester MI.” “Gift shops near Paint Creek Trail.” “Rochester Michigan restaurants.” If your website doesn’t show up, or looks outdated compared to neighboring businesses, you’re losing customers to competitors who invested in their online presence. In a downtown where independent merchants thrive, your website is your 24/7 storefront.
I build websites for Rochester businesses who want to match their online presence to the quality of their Main Street location. Fast-loading, mobile-first sites that rank when locals and visitors search for what you offer.
What I Do for Rochester Clients
Custom Website Design
No templates. I design websites that reflect the unique character of your Rochester business, whether you’re a boutique on Main Street, a restaurant near the creek, or a professional services firm serving the community.
Branding That Builds Trust
Your brand is more than a logo. It’s how Rochester residents and visitors perceive your business. I create complete visual identities that establish credibility and make you memorable in a downtown full of quality independents.
Ongoing Support
A website isn’t a one-time project. I offer maintenance plans to keep your site secure, updated, and performing, so you can focus on running your Rochester business instead of worrying about your online presence.

Salons, spas, fitness studios, chiropractors, and wellness providers who need online booking, service menus, and a professional presence that reflects the quality of their work.
Why Work With Me Instead of a Big Agency?
Oakland County has no shortage of marketing agencies and web firms. Here’s the difference: when you work with me, you work with me, not a sales rep who disappears after you sign the contract.
I’m Your Neighbor
I’m based in Rochester Hills, right next door. I walk downtown Rochester, I know the businesses, and I understand what makes this community special. You’re not getting generic advice from someone who’s never been here.
Direct Communication
No account managers. No waiting days for a response. You have my number and my email. When you have a question or need a change, you talk to me directly.
15 Years of Experience
I’ve been building websites since before most agencies existed. You get proven expertise without paying for someone to learn on your project.
Fair Pricing
No bloated agency overhead. No junior designers billing senior rates. You get professional-quality work at prices that make sense for Rochester’s independent business owners.
