TLG Marketing designs websites for Portland businesses, from independent retailers, food carts and restaurants to makers selling online and service companies across the metro. We build each site in-house with ecommerce, forms and call tracking that work from launch. TLG has been in business since 2006, works from Long Beach, California, and serves Portland clients remotely.
What a website needs to win customers in Portland
Portland has a strong independent business culture, a design-literate population and customers who get around in more ways than most cities. That changes what a site has to do, especially for businesses that sell both in person and online:
- Food businesses live on mobile. Carts, cafes and restaurants get chosen from a phone, so menus work best as real text that loads fast, with current hours and an ordering link close by.
- Getting there is part of the choice. Many customers come by MAX, streetcar or bike, so a directions section with transit stops, bike parking and car parking removes a reason to go elsewhere.
- Makers sell online and in person. Portland’s apparel, food and craft brands need stores that handle shipping, local pickup and wholesale inquiries in one place.
How we build a Portland website
We start with your products or services, your customers and how they buy, then plan pages and layouts around that. You approve the designs before our developers build the site and connect your store, forms and booking tools. Call tracking and GA4 key events are recording from launch day, so orders and inquiries are measured from the start.
Monthly reports show orders, calls and form leads by page and source. Our responsive website design work makes sure menus, stores and directions hold up on every screen size.

// Questions
Web design in Portland: common questions
Do you have an office in Portland?
No, TLG Marketing is headquartered in Long Beach, California, and we work with Portland businesses remotely. You’ll review plans and designs with us on video and test a staging version of your site before launch.
We’re a Portland maker selling online and at markets. Can one website handle both?
Yes. We set up an online store with shipping and local pickup, a page listing upcoming markets and the shops that carry your products, and a wholesale inquiry form for retailers. Each channel is tracked, so you can see whether the site is driving retail orders, wholesale leads or both.
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.
