TLG Marketing designs and builds websites for Athens, Georgia businesses, from downtown restaurants and student housing to medical practices and contractors in Oconee County. Each page is laid out around one next step, such as reserving a table, applying for a lease or booking a visit. From our base in Long Beach, California, where TLG has designed websites since 2006, we run every Athens project remotely.
What a website needs to win customers in Athens
Athens-Clarke County runs on two calendars, the University of Georgia’s and everyone else’s, and a website here has to serve both.
- Game weekends test your pages. Fall Saturdays at Sanford Stadium pack downtown, and visitors look up menus, parking and hours on phones while cell networks strain under the crowd. Light pages with the essentials near the top keep those customers from giving up.
- Renters want to apply online. Student housing and rental companies compete hard before each lease cycle. Floor plans, photos, what’s still available and an application form on a phone-friendly page move a browsing student toward a signed lease.
- Parents decide from out of town. Families in Atlanta and beyond pick dentists, storage units, movers and hotels for their students from a distance. Clear service details, reviews and an easy contact form help them choose you without visiting first.
- Patients come from surrounding counties. Athens is the medical hub for much of northeast Georgia, and people drive in from Madison, Jackson and Oglethorpe counties for appointments. Practices need pages that make directions, parking and new-patient forms easy to find.
How we build an Athens website
We start with discovery: your services, your busiest months and what a good lead looks like for you. Wireframes and mockups of the key pages follow, and once you approve them we build on custom WordPress so your staff can update hours, specials and availability without a developer.
Contact forms, tap-to-call numbers and call tracking are working on launch day, with each lead recorded in GA4. Before fall semester, we check the pages that carry game-weekend traffic for speed on a phone connection.

// Questions
Web design in Athens: common questions
Do you have an office in Athens?
No. TLG is based in Long Beach, California, and we build Athens websites remotely, with video meetings at each stage and design previews you can open on any device.
Will our website hold up on UGA game days?
Yes, when hosting and page weight are planned for the spike. Restaurants, hotels and shops near downtown get far more visits on home-game weekends, mostly from phones on networks crowded by the stadium crowd. We keep pages light, use caching and hosting sized for the peak, and put hours, menus and directions at the top.
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.
