TLG Marketing designs and builds websites for San Pedro businesses, from customs brokers, freight forwarders and marine services tied to the Port of Los Angeles to downtown restaurants, shops and family services. We design each site to turn visitors into calls, quotes and bookings. Our Long Beach office at 356 Redondo Ave is just across the harbor, so we can meet in person.
What a website needs to win customers in San Pedro
San Pedro is a Los Angeles neighborhood with a hometown feel, built around the Port of Los Angeles and a long fishing and shipping history.
- Clear service pages for port customers. Importers comparing customs brokers, freight forwarders, marine repair and chassis providers want services, terminals served, licenses and a quote form on the page they land on.
- Visitor pages for the waterfront. The Battleship Iowa museum, Cabrillo Beach and the boats to Catalina bring visitors who decide where to eat and park from their phones, so hours, menus and directions need to load right away.
- Local pride in the copy. Many residents have deep family roots in town, including Croatian, Italian and Mexican heritage, and they favor businesses that present themselves as part of the community. Photos of your team and your story help.
- Shift-friendly scheduling. Longshore workers and port staff work around the clock, so dentists, mechanics and other services that offer online booking at odd hours have an advantage.
How we build a San Pedro website
Our first meeting can be at your business or at our office in Long Beach. We plan the pages around your main inquiry, design mockups for you to approve and build the site with quote and contact forms, online booking where it fits, call tracking and GA4 key events working from launch.
You receive a monthly report on calls and inquiries by page, and we’re close enough to sit down and talk it through. For port businesses that also want to appear in nearby searches, our local SEO services pair well with a new site.
Our office at 356 Redondo Ave, Long Beach is about 10 miles from San Pedro by road. Directions

// Buyer’s guide
How to choose a web design company in San Pedro
Look for logistics and port experience
The Port of Los Angeles is the busiest container port in the United States, and San Pedro’s customs brokers, forwarders and marine services compete for shippers who compare several vendors. Ask each company to show B2B sites with service pages, terminal and license details, and quote forms that capture shipment information.
Ask how they plan for waterfront visitors
West Harbor is replacing Ports O’ Call on the waterfront, and cruise passengers pass through the World Cruise Center on Harbor Boulevard. Restaurants, shops and tour operators should ask how a company would serve visitors deciding on the spot, with fast mobile pages, maps and booking.
Meet just across the harbor
TLG is about 10 miles from San Pedro, at 356 Redondo Ave in Long Beach, close enough for meetings at your office, warehouse or restaurant. With any company, meet the people who will build the site, and check its street address on Google Maps.
Agree on reporting and fair terms
Ask how quote requests, bookings and calls will be tracked and reported each month. Read the company’s Google reviews from past clients. Avoid long contracts with no exit and anyone who promises guaranteed rankings.

// Questions
Web design in San Pedro: common questions
Do you have an office in San Pedro?
Our office is across the harbor in Long Beach, at 356 Redondo Ave. San Pedro clients can meet us there or at their own business, and we keep projects moving by phone, email and shared files.
What should a freight forwarder’s website tell shippers?
Shippers want to know which services you offer, which ports and terminals you work with, your licenses and registrations, and how to get a quote. We build service pages around those questions with a quote form that captures shipment details, and track every submission.
Should our site say San Pedro or Los Angeles?
Use both. San Pedro has been part of the City of Los Angeles since 1909, yet locals and visitors still look for it by its own name. Put San Pedro in your headings and page titles, and keep your full Los Angeles mailing address on the contact page.
How do we reach cruise passengers before or after they sail?
Passengers who arrive early or have time after leaving the World Cruise Center look for food, parking and things to do nearby. A page aimed at them, with distance from the terminal, hours and a booking or reservation link, gives them a reason to choose you, and we track those bookings so you can see what cruise traffic is worth.
Will West Harbor change what our waterfront business needs online?
It may. West Harbor is replacing Ports O’ Call with restaurants, an amphitheater and an expanded home for the San Pedro Fish Market, opening in phases. Nearby businesses should keep hours, show-night menus and directions current as crowds grow, and an events page tied to the amphitheater calendar can help.
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.
How do we get started?
