Orange County Web Design

BOUTIQUE AGENCY • ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Orange County businesses compete at a high level. Your website needs to match that standard or it is working against you.

Dorian Media Group is a boutique creative agency serving Orange County businesses from our Newport Beach office. We design and build custom WordPress websites for companies across Irvine, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and the broader Orange County market. Every project is built from the ground up around your brand, your customers, and the specific result you are trying to drive.

Orange County is one of the most competitive business markets in California. The companies that win here invest in how they present themselves online. A template website or an outdated design signals to your potential clients that your business is not at the level they expect. We build websites that position you as the premium choice before anyone picks up the phone.

Our Orange County web design projects typically run $12,000 to $45,000 depending on scope. We are direct about cost from the first conversation and honest about what your business actually needs. Start with a discovery call and we will give you a straight answer on what a project looks like for you.

Why Orange County Businesses Choose Dorian Media

DISCOVERY • STRATEGY • EXECUTION

We are based in Newport Beach and work with businesses across Orange County every day. That means we know this market, we know what your competitors look like online, and we know what the clients you are trying to win expect when they land on your site. We do not need to be briefed on the region — we work in it. For companies in our home city, our Newport Beach web design team is right down the street.

Every project is handled by a senior team. No handoffs to junior designers, no offshore development, no starting from a template and calling it custom. We begin every engagement with a discovery process that goes deep on your business, your market position, and what a successful website actually looks like for your specific goals.

We also handle photography, video production, online marketing, and brand development in house. For clients who want a complete creative engagement, that means one team handling everything from visual identity through to ongoing marketing. The strategy stays consistent because the same people are executing it.

“Having an attractive and well-designed website for your business creates the opportunity to influence people’s perception and generate more revenue.”

Evan Dorian

Founder, DORIAN MEDIA GROUP

Every site we build is custom. We work in WordPress with Avada, giving you a CMS your team can manage without needing a developer for routine updates. Our builds are fast-loading, mobile-optimized from the start, and structured for SEO from the ground up. We also set up Yoast SEO, connect Google Analytics and Search Console, and configure all technical SEO elements before handing the site over.

We do not use page builders in ways that create slow, bloated sites. Our builds are clean, well-structured, and built to hold up over time. Most projects launch in 8 to 14 weeks. Explore our full website design services to see what every build includes.

A custom website built on stock photography will always look like a custom website built on stock photography. We handle commercial photography and video production in house, which means the visual content for your site is shot and edited to match the design direction exactly. A half-day or full-day shoot at your Orange County location gives us the raw material to make your site look like it belongs among the best in your category.

If your brand identity is outdated or was never built properly, we can handle that as part of the website project. Logo, color system, typography, brand voice, and messaging strategy are all disciplines we work in. A website built on a strong brand foundation performs better and holds up longer than one built on weak or inconsistent brand assets. Learn more about our brand development services.

On-page SEO is included in every build. For clients who want to keep building momentum after launch, we offer ongoing SEO, content marketing, Google Ads, and Meta Ads management. Orange County is a competitive market and staying visible requires consistent effort beyond the initial launch. Our online marketing services are built to compound on the foundation the website creates.

What We Bring To Your Project

ORANGE COUNTY WEB DESIGN AGENCY

CUSTOM DESIGN

Every project starts from a blank page. We design around your brand, your market, and your goals. No templates, no shortcuts.

STRATEGY FIRST

We spend time understanding your business before we design anything. That work is what separates a site that looks good from one that converts.

WORDPRESS EXPERTISE

We build on WordPress with Avada. Clean code, fast load times, and a CMS your team can actually manage without a developer.

SEO BUILT IN

On-page SEO, schema markup, redirect mapping, and Yoast configuration are included in every build. Your site is search-ready at launch.

CLEAR TIMELINES

We set a timeline at kickoff and stick to it. Most projects launch in 8 to 14 weeks. You will always know where things stand.

TRANSPARENT PRICING

We tell you exactly what is included, what is not, and what it costs before any contract is signed. No surprises, no scope creep on our end.

VISUAL PRODUCTION

Photography and video handled in house. Your site gets custom visual assets that match the design direction, not stock imagery from a library.

POST-LAUNCH SUPPORT

Maintenance packages covering backups, security, and updates keep your site running smoothly after launch. We are available when you need us.

Orange County web design questions

How much does a website cost in Orange County?

Template builds run about $1,500 to $4,000. A custom agency build with strategy, design, development and on page SEO runs $12,000 to $45,000. Photography, video, ecommerce and integrations move a project toward the top of that range.

How long does a custom website take?

Most projects launch in 8 to 14 weeks. We set the timeline at kickoff, and the biggest variable is how quickly copy and approvals come back.

Which Orange County cities do you work in?

We work from our office in Newport Beach and build for businesses across Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and the rest of Orange County. Clients in our home city can also see our Newport Beach web design page and our Laguna Beach web design cost guide.

Can my team update the site after launch?

Yes. We build on WordPress with Avada so your team can edit pages, posts and images without a developer. Care plans for hosting, backups, security and updates are available after launch.

Do you handle photography and video?

Yes. Commercial photography and video production are done in house, so your site launches with visuals shot for your brand instead of stock images.
