We are a Fort Myers web design and branding studio that has been helping Southwest Florida businesses grow since 2004. Here is what working with us looks like, and why many of our clients have stayed with us for more than a decade.

Restaurant Website Design in Fort Myers, Florida
Prawnbroker Restaurant & Fish Market
Excellent Online Dining Menu
30% Increase in Visitors
Increased Fish Market Sales
We partnered with Prawnbroker, a well-loved seafood restaurant and fish market in Fort Myers, to redesign their website with a modern, mobile-friendly layout that better reflects their coastal charm and high-quality offerings. The new site features custom menus, clear calls-to-action, and a fully integrated fish market section that highlights daily specials and seasonal offerings. Since launching the new website, Prawnbroker has seen a 30% increase in website traffic, along with a noticeable uptick in both dine-in reservations and fish market sales. By improving the user experience and making it easier for customers to explore the menu and market, the restaurant has strengthened its digital presence and continued to grow its loyal customer base.
Healthcare Website Design in Sarasota, Florida
CenterPlace Health
Better User Experience
25% Increase in Visitors
Reduced Support Calls
CenterPlace Health, a nonprofit community health center in Sarasota, Florida, needed a website that could better serve patients while reflecting the organization’s mission of providing quality, affordable healthcare to all. We designed a clean, accessible, and easy-to-navigate site that allows users to quickly find services, locations, and appointment information in both English and Spanish. The site also includes an intuitive careers section and integrated patient portal access.
Since the launch, CenterPlace Health has reported a significant reduction in patient support calls, thanks to clearer site navigation and mobile optimization. Website traffic increased by over 25%, and more patients are now using the online portal to manage appointments and access resources, freeing up staff time and improving the overall patient experience.
Tours/Cruise Website Design, Fort Myers Beach, FL
Good Time Charters
Improved SEO Rankings
40% Increase in Online Bookings
Reduced Phone Calls
Good Time Charters, a top-rated eco-tour and fishing charter company based in Fort Myers Beach, needed a refreshed website that could capture the excitement of their tours while making it easy for customers to book online. We delivered a vibrant, mobile-optimized design that showcases their dolphin cruises, sunset tours, and fishing trips with high-impact visuals, customer testimonials, and a streamlined booking experience.
After launching the new site, Good Time Charters experienced a 40% increase in online bookings and a noticeable drop in abandoned inquiries. The improved navigation and engaging layout helped increase time spent on site, while clearer calls-to-action led to better conversion rates. The new website not only reflects their fun, family-friendly brand, but works as hard as their crew to bring in new business every day.
Five reasons Southwest Florida businesses choose us, and stay
Fort Myers and Naples have plenty of web designers. Here is what makes working with us different, in plain terms.
We do the work ourselves
When you hire us, you work with the same people from the first meeting to launch day and beyond. No account managers passing notes to an offshore team. That keeps quality high, communication clear and projects on schedule.
100% in-house teamTwenty years of Southwest Florida experience
We have been building websites here since 2004. We have seen markets boom, storms roll through and search engines change completely, and it shows in sites that stay online after a storm, menus that are easy to update for season and SEO that keeps working.
Serving SWFL since 2004Accessible, fast and built to last
Every site we build follows WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines, loads fast on phones and uses tools your team can update. We design for the long run instead of chasing trends, so your website does not look dated in two years.
WCAG 2.1 AA by defaultOne team for your whole online presence
Design, development, hosting, SEO, email marketing, branding and accessibility all live under one roof. Fewer vendors to manage, nobody pointing fingers when something goes wrong and a website that actually fits your marketing.
Design to hosting, one teamHonest advice and long-term partnership
Sometimes the right answer is a smaller project, a simple fix or no project at all. We will tell you that. We would rather earn your trust for the long haul, which is why many of our clients have been with us for more than a decade.
Clients since our first yearServing clients throughout Southwest Florida
Our team lives and works in Lee and Collier County. We meet clients in person when it helps and know the local market, from season to storm prep.
Questions about working with us
Why choose a local web design company instead of a national agency?
A local team understands your market, your seasons and your customers. You get to meet the people building your site, you get faster answers, and your money stays in the Southwest Florida economy.
Who will actually work on my website?
Our own in-house team. Brian Yerkes leads design and development, Jennifer Spees manages projects, and our senior developers handle builds and support. We never outsource your project to freelancers overseas.
How long has Brian Joseph Studios been in business?
Since 2004. We have built and supported websites, brands and marketing for Southwest Florida businesses, governments and nonprofits for more than twenty years.
What happens after my website launches?
We stay on as your web team. Most clients host with us, and we handle updates, security, backups, content changes and new features as your business grows.
Do you work with small businesses or only large organizations?
Both. Our clients range from single-location restaurants and contractors to city departments, community health centers and regional nonprofits.
