Free Website Review

Want a second opinion on your website?

Send me your current website and I'll take a quick look at the parts that shape a visitor's first impression: design, mobile experience, calls-to-action, contact flow, and clarity.

I'll send back a few specific notes you can use whether we work together or not. No pressure, no big pitch, just useful outside perspective.

What I review

Mobile usability Quote/contact flow Homepage clarity Visual trust Service organization Speed/basic performance

What you get

  • 3-5 specific website improvement notes
  • A quick outside perspective on what visitors see first
  • A no-pressure recommendation based on your current site
  • Optional next steps if you want help fixing it

Website Tune-Up

Small fixes before a bigger rebuild.

For local businesses that already have a website but know it could be cleaner, clearer, faster, or better at turning visitors into calls, quote requests, bookings, or inquiries.

Starting at $100-$200 depending on what needs to be fixed.

A Website Tune-Up is a controlled starter project: practical fixes, clear recommendations, and a short action report. It is not a full redesign, unlimited updates, advanced SEO, or custom automation.

About ZK Web Co.

A technical founder, not a faceless web shop.

Zack Kralec, local web designer and developer
Zack Kralec St. Mary's College of Maryland alum. Computer Science major, Business minor.

I'm Zack, the person designing, coding, and reviewing the work. My background is Computer Science with a Business minor from St. Mary's College of Maryland, so I care about both the build quality and the business goal behind it.

Whether the next step is a few small fixes or a full custom site, the focus stays simple: make the website clearer, easier to use, and more useful for the people who are ready to call, book, or request a quote.

Services

Website work that stays close to the actual goal.

Some businesses need a full rebuild. Others need a focused tune-up, cleaner contact flow, or steady upkeep. The scope should fit the problem.

01

Custom Website Design & Development

Custom-coded React/Next.js websites with clean modern layouts, mobile-friendly structure, and pages built around your services, brand, and goals.

02

Website Tune-Ups

Practical starter improvements for existing websites: mobile review, contact flow checks, CTA cleanup, basic title/meta cleanup, and small text or image updates when feasible.

03

Local Lead Generation Pages

Service pages designed to turn visitors into calls, quote requests, bookings, and inquiries for contractors, repair shops, restaurants, salons, and other service businesses.

04

Contact Forms & Quote Request Flows

Clear forms for quotes, bookings, catering inquiries, service calls, and general questions, routed to email so potential customers are easier to capture.

05

Ongoing monitoring, small content updates, uptime checks, form checks, hosting coordination, project management, and basic performance checks.

06

Automation Add-ons

Follow-up emails, review request flows, appointment integrations, CRM or spreadsheet lead capture, and AI FAQ/chatbot options where they make sense.

Why custom-coded?

Custom code where it matters. Simple process everywhere else.

Cleaner and faster foundations

Modern tools like React and Next.js help avoid bloated template setups.

Designed around the actual business

The layout, content, forms, and calls-to-action fit the services you sell.

More room to grow

Custom code gives you better control over future pages, features, and workflows.

Built to stand out locally

Your site should not look like every other business using the same template.
