Custom Web Design for Professional Services

Your clients Google you before they call you. Make sure what they find closes the deal.

I’m Justin — a web designer with 20+ years of experience building sites for professional service firms across the US. Law offices, medical practices, financial advisors, consultants, insurance brokers, architects — if your business runs on expertise and reputation, your website needs to reflect that. I handle design, development, and hosting myself. No subcontractors. No handoffs. No one who doesn’t know your business getting their hands on your site.
Working with professional service firms nationwide since 2005. Based in Greenville, SC.
Why professional firms choose Ghost Runner

Most professional service websites have two problems. I fix both.

Problem one: the site looks like it was built during the Obama administration. It doesn’t reflect the quality of your work, and prospective clients notice — even if they can’t articulate why they didn’t call.

Problem two: it doesn’t show up when people search for what you do. A beautiful site no one finds is a brochure nobody reads.

I build sites that solve both. Visually sharp enough to match your professional reputation. Technically built to rank — clean code, fast load times, proper on-page SEO, and schema markup so Google understands who you serve and where.

What I build & what’s included

Everything your firm needs.
Nothing you don’t.

No packages. No tiers. Every project is scoped to what your practice actually needs — from a five-page foundational site to a full rebrand with custom functionality.

Your Brand’s First Impression.

Logos & Branding
A great logo isn’t just something that looks good on a business card — it’s the thing people remember when they can’t remember your name. I design marks that are simple enough to recognize at a glance, strong enough to last a decade, and flexible enough to work everywhere from a billboard to a favicon.

No templates. No clip art. Just a logo built around your brand, your story, and the audience you’re trying to reach.
