Sunny Side Services is a four-person web design firm based in Oklahoma City that specializes in custom websites for local small businesses and nonprofits. Unlike template-based platforms or freelancers working remotely, Sunny Side operates from OKC and works directly with clients on-site or at their offices, making it a practical choice for business owners who want face-to-face collaboration during the design process.
Sunny Side builds custom websites from scratch rather than using WordPress themes or Wix templates. The firm does not offer website hosting, domain registration, or SEO services as standalone products; instead, these are folded into larger design engagements. The team handles design, frontend development, and basic backend setup. For businesses that need e-commerce functionality, Sunny Side partners with Shopify or WooCommerce rather than building custom storefronts in-house. The firm also does not offer ongoing content management or social media integration beyond initial site setup.
Sunny Side offers three main service tiers. A basic five-page website (home, about, services, contact, and one additional page) runs $3,500 to $4,500, depending on the complexity of the design and photography requirements. A mid-tier build with eight to ten pages, custom forms, and basic mobile optimization costs $6,000 to $8,000. Custom builds for nonprofits or businesses with specialized needs (such as event booking or donation systems) run $10,000 and up. All packages include one round of revisions after the initial design presentation; additional revision rounds are billed at $150 per hour. Timeline varies: basic sites typically launch within six to eight weeks, while larger projects take ten to fourteen weeks. Sunny Side requires a 50 percent deposit upfront and the remainder on launch.
OKC has several web design alternatives. Local freelancers charging $40 to $80 per hour often deliver custom designs at lower total cost but typically work solo and may have longer project timelines. Agencies like Elixir and Soar, both Oklahoma City-based, offer broader services (branding, ongoing marketing, video production) and higher price ranges ($15,000 to $40,000 for complex builds), making them better suited to larger companies or those needing integrated campaigns. Template-based services such as GoDaddy or Wix cost $50 to $300 monthly but offer no customization and limited design control. Sunny Side sits between freelancers and full-service agencies: more structured than a solo operator, more affordable than a large agency, and offering genuine custom work that template platforms cannot match.
Choose Sunny Side if your business is small to mid-sized, you want a custom design without the full-service agency price tag, and you value working with a local team. Choose a freelancer if budget is very tight and timeline is flexible. Choose Elixir or Soar if you need integrated branding or ongoing marketing services alongside your website.
Sunny Side works well for local nonprofits, service-based businesses (plumbers, therapists, consultants), restaurants, and small retail operations that need a professional online presence and have a clear sense of their brand. The firm's strength is translating an owner's vision into a functional, mobile-friendly site without unnecessary bells and whistles.
Sunny Side is not the right fit if you need ongoing hosting support, monthly content updates, or SEO campaign management after launch. It is also not ideal for businesses that need rapid iteration or frequently change their site structure; the firm's revision model assumes a defined scope upfront. E-commerce businesses with complex inventory management should expect to handle most Shopify or WooCommerce configuration themselves or hire a specialist.
An initial consultation (usually 30 to 45 minutes, conducted in-person or via Zoom) covers your business goals, target audience, competitor sites you like, and a rough feature list. Sunny Side gathers this information in a one-page brief and returns with a design mockup (usually two to three options) within two weeks. You review, request changes, and once approved, the team builds the working site. A second in-person meeting near the end of development walks you through the finished product and any final tweaks before launch.
Sunny Side operates Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. The office is in midtown Oklahoma City; street parking is available. Most clients meet at Sunny Side's office or request a visit to their own location. Projects are managed via email, Zoom, and a shared project dashboard; no dedicated project management software is used. Verify current availability and scheduling by phone at the start of a new inquiry, as timelines shift with project load.
Sunny Side fills a practical gap in OKC's web design market: custom work without enterprise pricing or the overhead of a large agency, backed by local availability and face-to-face communication that freelancers often cannot provide.
