Free diagnosis

Is your website costing you customers?

Six honest questions, thirty seconds. No email required to see where you stand.

Does your site look good and work well on a phone?

Does it exist in both English AND Spanish, written by a person, not translated by an app?

Is there a WhatsApp button or a form that lands directly with you, not a dead inbox?

Has it been updated in the last year?

Is your Google Business Profile claimed and up to date?

Do you know how many customers your site brought you this month?

What we do

Everything your first impression needs, in one place.

Four services that most businesses end up buying from four different vendors, who then blame each other. Here they are one conversation, one invoice, one person accountable for whether the phone rings.

Web design

Fast, clear websites that turn visits into customers. Built to convert, not just to look pretty.

  • Design and build, from the sitemap to the last page
  • Bilingual from the start, not a translation bolted on later
  • Built to load fast on a phone, on cellular data
  • Forms and WhatsApp wired to reach you, not a dead inbox

Identity

Names, brands and a voice that work everywhere, from your sign to your Instagram.

  • Logo in editable formats, plus the variants for a sign and a profile photo
  • Colors and typefaces written down, so anyone can stay on brand
  • How you sound in both languages, with example lines you can reuse
  • Naming when you need it, checked against what is already taken

SEO in English and Spanish

Get found, in English and Spanish, by people who are ready to buy.

  • Google Business Profile claimed, filled in and verified
  • Pages that target what people in Miami actually type
  • Both languages indexed separately, so neither one competes with the other

Strategy

Positioning and campaigns based on real customers. Measured in sales, not likes.

  • Who you are actually for, and what to stop saying to everyone else
  • Ads on the platforms where your buyers already are, with a budget you set
  • A monthly report in plain language: what came in, what it cost, what we change next
  • Tracking set up in accounts that belong to you

How we work

A clear path from first call to launch.

You always know which step you are on, what is expected of you, and what the date is. Nothing moves forward without your approval, and nothing gets billed that was not quoted first.

Listen

A free consult to understand your business and your goals.

Plan

Strategy, sitemap and a fixed quote. No surprises.

Build

Design and development, with your review at every step.

Launch & grow

We ship it, measure it, and keep improving it.

At handover

On launch day, all of this is already yours.

  • The domain, registered in your name
  • The hosting, on your own account
  • The full source code of the site
  • Your Google Business Profile, claimed and set up
  • Analytics and ad accounts, owned by you
  • Every password, handed over in writing
  • Logo and brand files, in editable formats
  • A short training call, recorded so you can rewatch it
  • Small text and photo edits, free for the first 30 days

We put this in writing because it is where most agencies quietly keep the leash: the domain in their account, the site on their platform, an invoice every time you want a phone number changed. If you ever decide to work with someone else, you take everything with you and nothing breaks.

Why First Looks

Three things the big agencies don't offer.

None of these are hard to do. They are simply worth less to an agency than the account it would lose by offering them.

Direct access

You work with the founder, not a middleman. There is no account manager relaying your notes to a designer you never meet, so a change you ask for on Tuesday is usually live on Tuesday.

It's yours, all of it

The site, the domain and every account go in your name from day one. Nothing is locked to us, and a small change never comes back as a surprise invoice.

Focused on results

We measure calls, forms and sales, not how pretty it looks. Every month you get a plain language report of what came in and what it cost, and if a number stops moving we change the plan instead of defending it.

About us

A studio built on first impressions.

First Looks Marketing was founded in Miami on a simple idea: most good businesses are being undersold by their own website. The work is good, the reviews are good, and then the site makes them look like a hobby.

We build for logistics companies, builders and local shops around Miami, mostly for owners who are the ones answering the phone. That shapes how we work: you talk to the founder rather than an account manager, we quote a fixed price before anything starts, and everything gets handed over in your name on launch day.

  • Based in Miami, serving Hialeah, Doral and Coral Gables
  • Every project bilingual, English and Spanish written natively
  • Founder led, one point of contact from the first message to launch

Selected work

Recent web design projects in Miami.

Three businesses that were being undersold by their own website. Each one launched bilingual, on its own domain and hosting, with every account in the owner's name.

EDCA Builders, construction company websiteWeb + Brand
EDCA BuildersA South Florida builder with fifteen years of work and nothing online to show it. Site, brand and a project gallery that does the convincing before the first call.
Reservacut, barbershop bookingProduct + Brand

Three ways to solve this

How web design pricing in Miami actually compares.

Three honest paths to a website that works, and what each one really costs you.

Comparison of DIY, a typical agency and First Looks
DIY Typical agency This oneFirst Looks
Time to launch Weeks or months, between learning it and doing it yourself 6 to 10 weeks, with back and forth through an account manager 3 weeks on average, with a date in writing
Who you talk to No one, you troubleshoot everything yourself An account manager relaying notes to a team you never meet The founder, the same person start to finish
Truly bilingual However you manage, usually a translation app Almost always an add-on cost, and often translated, not written Included, written natively in both languages
Owns the domain & accounts You do, and you also maintain everything Depends on the contract, sometimes it stays in the agency's name You, in your name from day one, no exceptions
Typical cost $0 to $300 in templates, plus your own time $3,000 to $15,000+ for a custom site $1,000 to $3,000, quoted before we start
When you need a change You try it yourself, or pay someone by the hour A change order, a new quote, more waiting One WhatsApp message, answered within a business day

Ranges are typical, not universal — every business and every agency is different. We just don't think you should have to guess.

We also build personalized packages, so if none of these fit you exactly, tell us what you need and we put one together for you.

Questions

Answers before you even ask.

The questions that come up on almost every first call. If yours is not here, ask it in the form below and you get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

How long does a website take?+

Most sites launch in about 3 weeks from kickoff. Larger projects run 4 to 6 weeks. You'll have a date in writing before we start.

What does the price include?+

A fixed quote covers strategy, design, development, launch and training. No hourly surprises. Hosting and domain are set up in your name, so you always own everything.

Do you only work with Miami businesses?+

Miami is home, but we work with clients anywhere. Everything happens over video calls and a shared project board you can check any time.

Is everything really in both languages?+

Yes. Written natively in each language, not run through a translator. This very page works in English and Spanish; try the toggle up top. Your customers get the same care.

Does the site end up in my name?+

Yes. The code, the domain, the hosting and every account go in your name from day one, passwords included. If you ever want to work with someone else, you take everything with you and nothing breaks.

What if I don't like the design?+

Before a single line of code, you see the design of the main screens and that is where changes happen, while changing is cheap. Two rounds of revisions are included, and nothing moves to the next stage without your approval.

Can I update the site myself?+

Yes. On handover you get a recorded training call for changing text, photos and prices. For the first 30 days text and photo edits are also done for you at no cost, while you settle in.
