TLG Marketing designs websites for Laguna Beach galleries, artists, boutique hotels, restaurants and coastal service businesses, with image-rich pages that still load quickly on a phone. We’re just up the coast in Long Beach, close enough to meet you in person and plan the site together, and TLG has built websites since 2006.
What a website needs to win customers in Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach has an art colony’s history and a resort town’s summer, and its websites need to serve collectors, visitors and residents alike.
- Art has to look right and load fast. Galleries and artists need large, accurate images, while visitors browsing on a phone near the beach won’t wait, so every image is sized and compressed for the screen viewing it.
- Summer festivals bring planners. The Festival of Arts, the Pageant of the Masters and the Sawdust Art Festival draw visitors who book rooms, dinners and gallery visits around their tickets.
- Parking and directions matter. Visitors to a small coastal town worry about parking and getting around, so trolley details, parking tips and walking directions on your contact page help them commit.
- Residents want to see the people behind the work. Homeowners hiring architects, landscapers and interior designers in Laguna study portfolios and team pages before they reach out.
How we build a Laguna Beach website
We start with a visit to your gallery, shop or office, or a meeting at ours in Long Beach, to talk through the work you want to show and the inquiries you want. Then we plan the pages, design galleries and booking flows, and build on WordPress with image handling that keeps pages light.
GA4 records inquiry forms, reservations and calls from launch, and we can review what’s working at your place. For more on keeping image-heavy pages fast, see our page speed optimization page.
Our office at 356 Redondo Ave, Long Beach is about 32 miles from Laguna Beach by road. Directions

// Buyer’s guide
How to choose a web design company in Laguna Beach
Time the launch before festival season
The Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters run from early July into early September, and visitors plan rooms, dinners and gallery stops around them. Ask each company to commit to a schedule that has your site live and tested well before July, with summer hours and booking ready for the crowds.
Ask how they present artwork online
Laguna’s galleries open their doors for the First Thursdays Art Walk every month, and collectors judge work by what they see on screen. Ask for examples of image-heavy sites the company has built, then open them on your own phone to see how fast they load and how true the colors look.
Plan the site face to face
TLG is about 32 miles up the coast, at 356 Redondo Ave in Long Beach, and will come to your gallery, hotel or studio to plan the site with you. When comparing companies, ask who will actually design and build it, and check that each one has a real street address on Google Maps.
Look for honest reporting and fair terms
Ask how the company will report inquiries, reservations and calls, and whether it can separate summer visitors from local customers in those reports. Read its Google reviews. Avoid any contract that ties you in for years, and any promise of guaranteed rankings, which no honest company can make.

// Questions
Web design in Laguna Beach: common questions
Do you have an office in Laguna Beach?
Our office is a short trip up the coast in Long Beach, at 356 Redondo Ave, and we’re happy to meet at your gallery, hotel or office in Laguna Beach, or to talk on video.
How do we keep an image-heavy gallery website fast?
We serve images in modern formats such as WebP, create several sizes so each phone or screen loads only what it needs, and load images lower on the page as visitors scroll. Full-resolution views open only when someone chooses to zoom in.
When should a Laguna Beach business launch a new website?
Spring is the safest window. The Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters open in early July, so a site that is live by late spring has time for testing and for search engines to pick up new pages before summer visitors start planning. Businesses that rely mostly on residents can launch any time of year.
Our architecture firm designs Laguna homes. How should our site address design review?
New homes and second-floor additions in Laguna Beach generally need approval from the city’s Design Review Board, and clients often worry about that step. A page that walks through how you prepare plans, staking and neighbor outreach, next to finished projects that went through review, answers the worry before the first call.
Can our gallery promote First Thursdays Art Walk events on the site?
Yes. We add an events page or banner you can update each month with the featured artist, the opening and the evening’s hours, linked to an RSVP or contact form. The Art Walk falls on the first Thursday of every month, so a reusable template keeps each update to a few minutes.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope: the number of pages, custom features, ecommerce and how much content needs writing. Tell us your budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can achieve.
How long does a website project take?
A small business website takes about two weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites with ecommerce, integrations or a lot of content take longer, and your proposal gives the timeline. Getting content and feedback to us quickly is the biggest factor you control.
Can you work on our existing website?
Yes. We can redesign it, improve what’s there, speed it up or move it to a new platform. We start by reviewing the current site so we know what’s worth keeping.
