We're not your typical
QC web agency.
That's not marketing speak. Most local web agencies in the Quad Cities are offering you a Divi template, a $4,000 invoice, and six weeks of silence. We built QC Webworks specifically as an alternative to that.
Here's what that actually means in practice.
Side by side.
The differences that actually matter when you're deciding who to hire.
| What matters | QC Webworks | Typical local agency |
|---|---|---|
| Custom design (no templates) | ✓ Every project | ✗ Usually template-based |
| Strategy included (not just design) | ✓ Always part of scope | ● Sometimes, extra cost |
| Transparent, published pricing | ✓ Starting prices posted | ✗ “Call for a quote” |
| Starting price for a real website | ✓ From $899 | ● Often $2,000–$5,000+ |
| You talk to the actual builder | ✓ Always | ✗ Usually an account manager |
| SEO baked into the build | ✓ Foundation included | ● Separate add-on |
| Local, QC-based team | ✓ Born and based here | ● Varies — some outsource |
| Creative risk-taking encouraged | ✓ Core to how we work | ✗ “Let's keep it safe” |
| Post-launch care options | ✓ Care plans included | ● Hourly rates, no plan |
| Honest if we're not the right fit | ✓ We'll tell you | ● They probably need the work |
How the conversation usually goes.
Two very different first calls. Both real.
What most agencies sound like
- You fill out a form and wait 3 days to hear back
- The first call is 45 minutes of them selling you
- The proposal arrives as a 12-page PDF with vague line items
- You ask for a sample design and get shown stock photos from a template library
- “SEO” is a $500 add-on that means adding keywords to page titles
- The project takes 4 months and you launch a site that looks like five other local businesses
- Post-launch support is $150/hr, minimum 2 hours
How we actually do it
- Response within one business day — often same day
- First call is about your business, not our pitch deck
- Proposal is clear, scoped, and explains the “why” behind everything
- You get original design concepts — built for your business specifically
- SEO is part of how we build, not a checkbox at the end
- We launch something you're genuinely proud to send people to
- Care plans start at $79/mo with priority support included
Don't take our word for it.
Real results from a real engagement.
Lead growth

Years of experience
The business is new. The experience isn't. We've been building things that work on the web since 2015.
Templates used — ever
Every single project we've done has been designed from scratch. That's not a boast; it's just how we work.
