Web Design on Sanibel & Captiva Islands
Websites for island businesses, organizations and the people who love them.
We build websites for Sanibel and Captiva shops, restaurants, rentals, nonprofits and government departments. Sites that help visitors plan their trip, help residents stay informed and are easy for island businesses to keep up to date season after season.
Island Clients We Work With
The islands have a character all their own. Your website should too.
Island businesses depend on visitors who research before they arrive and on a loyal community of residents and returning guests. We have worked with the City of Sanibel, Sanibel Communities for Clean Water and many island shops and organizations over the years.

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.

What Sanibel & Captiva business owners should know before building a website
Straight answers about cost, process and what a website needs to do for a local business, from a team that has been doing this in Southwest Florida since 2004.
Websites for Island Tourism and Retail
Visitors plan their island days on their phones. We build sites with clear hours, menus, directions, rental details and booking that work well on any device, plus content that helps your business show up when people search for things to do on Sanibel and Captiva.
Government and Nonprofit Websites
