The Problems Behind Every Underperforming Website

PixelChefs has been based in Winter Garden since 2009, just 20 minutes west of downtown Orlando. We know the local market because we live and work in it, and we’ve built websites for some of Central Florida’s biggest names in hospitality, as well as law firms, medical practices, and contractors throughout the area.

Founder Alex Alexakis spent years leading digital strategy at Westgate Resorts, one of the largest hospitality companies headquartered in Orlando, before building PixelChefs into a full-service web design and SEO team. That experience influences how we approach every website: we start by thinking about where the leads will come from and then design the site around converting them.

Westgate Events.

Westgate Resorts launched a new brand selling event vacations, the show and the stay in one booking. We designed and built the site from scratch on WordPress, wired it into the Westgate API, and set it up so their in-house team runs it without us.

Mystery Fun House.

The arcade Orlando grew up with on Major Boulevard came back in 2025 as a 21,000 square foot arcade in Kissimmee. We built a site with neon, sound, a talking wizard, FareHarbor ticketing, and a menu that updates itself, all running on a phone without slowing down.

What web design costs in Orlando

Custom Brochure or Service Website

$8,000 – $25,000

Including strategy, design, development,
and SEO structure.

Ecommerce stores

$20,000 – $75,000+

Depending on catalog size and
integrations.

Multi location and franchise builds

From $25,000

One brand, many locations, one search
structure.

Those are the same ranges you will see across the Orlando market from any agency that codes its own work. Quotes far below that usually mean a template with your logo dropped in, which is a fine product, just a different one.

We break down the labor math, ongoing costs, and the seven things that move the price on our web design pricing page.

Working with the PixelChefs team was an absolute pleasure. From the start, they took the time to understand IMPOWER’s mission and translated that into a website that truly reflects who we are as a nonprofit. The entire process was smooth, organized, and collaborative — their communication was always clear, and they made thoughtful recommendations that helped us elevate both design and functionality. One of the biggest highlights was how seamless the handoff felt. PixelChefs empowered our team to easily manage updates on our end, and they were quick to respond to any questions along the way. It’s refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about the impact of their work. We’re thrilled with the final site and highly recommend PixelChefs to any organization looking for a partner who combines creativity, professionalism, and heart. - Anna Kesic, President/CEO, IMPOWER

I recently made the decision to work with Alex, Sameed and the team at Pixel Chefs. Their team was very informative and helpful throughout the process and I couldn't be happier with the final result. They took the vision I created for our company and put it to life on our website. They communicated very well throughout the process and hit deadlines without issue. I highly recommend working with this team if you want an incredible outcome.

PixelChefs has been our go-to for web development work for years! Needing a total website rebuild, we wanted to find a website designer that would work with us to put together exactly what we wanted and that would perform flawlessly, they did that perfectly! We continue to work with them for additional projects or anytime something comes up that requires expert web developers.

We are an educational website and needed some guidance on how to restructure our site. We were aiming for better performance to help increase our leads and site traffic. I booked a website consultation session with Alex and walked through my questions and issues. I was able to walk away with a solid list of tasks and a clear mapping on how to better our site for growth. Lots of actionable insights to go on and keep us busy! Thanks for your help Alex!

I was referred to Pixel Chefs by another marketing firm. I had a very specific request that I needed done for my company and they went above and beyond to help me. Alex has a very high level of expertise in the marketing world. He knows how to do things that most other companies have never even heard of. I am very grateful I was referred to him.

Alex helped us with the complete redesign of our family business' website. His team not only did a great job with the aesthetics of the website but what I loved most about Alex is that he really understands how to design a beautiful website that also converts customers. He took the time to teach me why he was doing the things he was doing to my website which I loved. I feel like I got a crash course on website design from him. :D

Orlando web design FAQs

Custom service and brochure websites typically range from $8,000 to $25,000. Ecommerce websites typically range from $20,000 to $75,000 and beyond. We publish a full cost breakdown on our web design pricing page so you can compare quotes using real numbers.

Most custom business sites launch in 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff. Ecommerce and multi location builds run 12 to 24 weeks. Content is the thing that stalls projects most often, so we set the writing schedule on day one.

Yes, and the gap is widening. AI builders produce the same layouts for everyone, and businesses that used one tend to call an agency when the site does not rank or convert. What we sell is the strategy, the code quality, and the search structure that a builder cannot do for you.

No. Every site is designed from a blank file and hand coded. That is why our sites load fast and hold up in search, and it is why a PixelChefs site does not look like the template every competitor bought.

Not if it is done right. We inventory every URL that ranks before we touch the design, then keep or redirect each one. We have migrated hundreds of sites across different industries this way without losing the rankings they had earned.

You do. The code, the content, the domain, and the hosting account are all yours. There are no licenses tied to us and nothing that stops you from taking the site elsewhere.

Yes. We set up hosting, backups, security, and updates, and we offer monthly maintenance for teams that do not want to manage it. It is never required.
