TLG Marketing designs and develops websites for businesses in Columbia, Missouri, from shops and restaurants near campus to clinics, contractors and companies that sell to the city’s larger employers. We plan the pages, write copy, build the site and track every form and call. Our Long Beach, California agency opened in 2006 and serves mid-Missouri clients by video and email.
What a website needs to win customers in Columbia
Columbia sits halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis on I-70, and its economy is built on the University of Missouri, health care and insurance.
- A site that follows the semester. Mizzou, Stephens College and Columbia College set the rhythm for apartments, restaurants, movers and storage businesses. Move-in, football weekends and graduation each call for different homepage offers.
- Health care that serves a region. MU Health Care, Boone Hospital and the Truman VA hospital bring patients in from across mid-Missouri, and nearby practices need clear directions, insurance details and appointment requests.
- Professional buyers. Shelter Insurance and Veterans United Home Loans are based here, and their teams buy services from local vendors. B2B firms need pages that describe their work plainly and list the industries they’ve served.
- Visitors for True/False. The documentary film festival brings visitors downtown each spring, and restaurants and shops in The District can catch them with mobile pages that show hours and walking directions.
How we build a Columbia website
Your calendar and your customers come first, since a student-heavy business and a firm selling to insurers need different structures. Then we plan pages, design them, and build on WordPress, testing on phones and on the slower connections common in rural mid-Missouri.
Forms and call tracking are active on day one, and reports compare inquiries across the school year so you can plan for quieter months. See our page speed optimization service for how we keep sites fast.

// Questions
Web design in Columbia: common questions
Do you have an office in Columbia?
No. Mid-Missouri clients work with us from a distance. TLG is based in Long Beach, California, and we rely on video calls, a shared preview of the site and regular email updates.
Our business slows down when Mizzou students leave. Can the website help?
It can help even out the year. We can add pages aimed at permanent residents, faculty and families in nearby towns, and make it easy to change offers on the homepage when the semester ends. Tracking then shows whether summer inquiries are coming from those pages.
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.
