TLG Marketing designs websites for Santa Monica businesses, including tech and media companies, fitness and wellness studios, hotels and restaurants near the beach, and boutiques on Montana Avenue and Main Street. We plan each one around signups, bookings and inquiries. Our Long Beach team, at 356 Redondo Ave, meets Santa Monica clients in person.
What a website needs to win customers in Santa Monica
Santa Monica blends a beach resort, a tech and entertainment hub and a health-conscious residential city in a few square miles.
- Class booking for fitness and wellness. Pilates, yoga and boutique fitness studios compete on schedules and intro offers, and visitors want to book a class from the site without downloading an app.
- Hotel and dining reservations. Visitors near the pier, the Third Street Promenade and Ocean Avenue choose from their phones, so menus, rates and booking buttons must load fast and sit near the top.
- Brand-quality sites for tech and media firms. Companies in Santa Monica’s tech and entertainment sector recruit talent and court partners through their websites, and they need a design that matches the quality of their own product.
- Online stores for local boutiques. Shops on Montana Avenue and Main Street can keep selling to visitors after they fly home with an online store, gift cards and local pickup.
How we build a Santa Monica website
Planning starts with a meeting at your office or ours to settle on audience, brand and the action that matters most. Then we wireframe the pages, refine the look with you and build the site, connecting class booking, reservations or checkout along with call tracking and GA4 key events, all checked before go-live.
Reports each month show bookings, signups and inquiries by page and channel, and we can talk them through in person. Our UI and UX design work maps the path from a first visit to a booking.
Our office at 356 Redondo Ave, Long Beach is about 32 miles from Santa Monica by road. Directions

// Buyer’s guide
How to choose a web design company in Santa Monica
Check they plan for visitors on foot
The Metro E Line ends in downtown Santa Monica, a short walk from the Third Street Promenade and the pier, so many visitors arrive without a car. Ask a company how it would show walking directions, transit details and opening hours on mobile pages for people deciding as they stroll.
Look for startup-quality design
Snap is headquartered in Santa Monica, and the city is part of the Westside tech scene known as Silicon Beach. Startups and agencies here are judged on their own sites by recruits and investors, so ask each company for examples of product, careers and press pages built to a high standard.
Meet on the Westside
TLG is about 32 miles from Santa Monica, at 356 Redondo Ave in Long Beach, and comes to the Westside for planning sessions. Whoever you hire, meet the person who will build your site, and confirm the company’s office address on Google Maps.
Agree on what success looks like
Ask how class bookings, reservations, signups and calls will be reported, broken out by page and by source. Read the company’s Google reviews. Avoid lengthy lock-in contracts, and anyone who promises guaranteed rankings.

// Questions
Web design in Santa Monica: common questions
Do you have an office in Santa Monica?
Not in Santa Monica. We’re based at 356 Redondo Ave in Long Beach and come to the Westside to meet clients for planning and design reviews. Between meetings we work by phone, email and video.
Can our studio take class bookings on our own website?
Yes. We embed or connect the scheduling software you already use, such as Mindbody, so visitors can view the timetable and book without leaving your site. Intro offers and memberships get their own pages, and each booking is tracked.
Do we need our site in other languages for Santa Monica visitors?
If you depend on tourists, it’s worth considering. Santa Monica Travel & Tourism reports that about half of the city’s visitors come from abroad, with Western Europe and the UK among the largest sources. Translating your booking and key information pages for your biggest visitor groups is a sensible start.
Our startup is hiring. What should the careers section include?
Real photos of the team and office, the work people do, benefits, and open roles that link to your applicant tracking system. In a city where many tech employers compete for the same people, a careers page that looks as good as your product helps, and we track applications by source so you can see what works.
Our restaurant cooks with produce from the farmers’ market. Should the site say so?
Yes. Santa Monica’s Wednesday Farmers’ Market downtown draws chefs and shoppers every week, so a seasonal menu page that names what you bought there tells diners something specific about your kitchen. We set it up so you can update it yourself as the menu changes.
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?
