I've had Alex from LegitWebs handle all my websites and advertising for at least 20 years. Don't spin your wheels with other estimates, I did, several times, only to have Alex fix their mistakes. Alex has always been the man behind the scene.

Most web design companies in Key West area hand your project to an account manager who relays messages between you and an overseas team. LegitWebs gives you one operator: the developer who builds your site, configures your hosting, and handles your SEO. No handoffs, no phone tag, no markups.
Every site we build ships with SEO foundation, schema markup, and AI discovery files baked in at no extra cost. For a Key West business, that means your site is ready to compete from day one.

We provide a clear production calendar at kickoff so you know exactly when to expect staging preview, revisions, and go-live.

// CLIENT REVIEWS
Reviews from clients we've shipped for. Key West-area and beyond.
Alex is the reason Custom Vehicle Wraps became so popular in the Bay Area. We've contracted LegitWebs for site designs, SEO, landing pages, Google Ads, and Google Apps for email. If you need a web designer or webmaster, look no further than LegitWebs.
Alex proposed an easy-to-use WordPress website that fit my needs on pricing, complexity, and design. After delivery he sat with me for 30 minutes and taught me how to make edits. Excellent service for local business owners, I recommend Alex / LegitWebs.
Alex is ALWAYS prompt when responding to email or urgent situations. LegitWebs redesigned our website and gave me the tools to make updates and blog posts myself. He helps with any tech problem without making me feel stupid, and always has a good attitude with new SEO ideas.
