Custom websites for local businesses in New Smyrna Beach and Chattanooga.
Third Gear Ventures designs and builds custom, phone-first websites for restaurants, shops, and service businesses, with booking, ordering, and SEO wired in from day one. Fixed packages, fixed prices, built by the developer you talk to.
The short version
A website built around what your customers come to do.
People do not visit a local business website to admire it. They come to see the menu, check the hours, book the table, order ahead, or get directions, usually from a phone, usually in a hurry. A template makes your business fit somebody else's layout. A custom site is designed around those few jobs and gets out of the way.
We build that site by hand, wire it into the tools you already use, set up the search basics properly, and keep it running on a care plan. And because Third Gear Ventures also builds custom software, when a site needs online ordering, a booking system, or a customer portal behind it, that comes from the same team.
Local. Hand-built. Kept running.What you get
What a custom website from Third Gear Ventures includes
Every site, whatever the package, is built to these standards.
Phone first
Fast on the phone in the parking lot
Most local traffic is mobile. Every page is built and tested at phone size first, and loads fast on a weak signal.
Booking and ordering
Contact, booking, reservations, order-ahead
Wired into the tools you already run on, such as Square, Stripe, or your reservation system, so a web order lands where the counter can see it.
Search
SEO set up properly from day one
Titles, descriptions, structured data for your business type, sitemap, and a Google Business Profile check, so you are found for your name and your service in your town.
Photography
Photography direction
A shot list and direction for the photos a local site actually needs: the room, the food, the work, the people. Real images, never stock.
Care
Hosting, security, backups, and updates
A monthly care plan keeps the site up, safe, and current. Menu changes, hours, and events handled for you on Care Plus.
Packages
Fixed packages, fixed prices
Three packages, no hourly billing. The same scope and the same numbers in New Smyrna Beach, in Chattanooga, and for remote builds anywhere in the United States.

Client work
Lines & Vines Coffee, New Smyrna Beach, FL
A New Smyrna beach house turned plant-filled coffee shop. The owner is behind the bar most mornings, which left no time for the back office.
We built the full site, structured the menu and pricing, and are wiring online ordering straight into Square so customers can order ahead and the bar stays in rhythm.
Live at linesandvines.coffeeIn New Smyrna Beach we also build under the New Smyrna Surf name, with more local examples there.
Website or software?
Two studios, one team
You need a website if
Custom websites
Customers need to find you, see what you offer, and get in touch, book, or order. The problem is outside the business: being found and being chosen.
That is this page. Book a call and we will scope a Launch or Signature site.
You need custom software if
Custom software
The problem is inside the business: estimates re-typed into invoices, scheduling by hand, follow-ups that slip, the owner as the glue between three apps and a spreadsheet.

Questions owners ask
Custom websites, answered plainly
How much does a custom website cost in New Smyrna Beach?
Third Gear Ventures builds Launch sites for $2,500: five to seven custom pages, phone-optimized, with contact or booking and SEO set up, delivered in one to two weeks. Signature sites for restaurants, hotels, and multi-location businesses are $6,000 and include reservations, photography direction, and events. Care plans start at $50 a month. The same prices apply in Chattanooga and for remote builds.
Do you build websites for Chattanooga businesses?
Yes. Third Gear Ventures works from both New Smyrna Beach, Florida and Chattanooga, Tennessee, and builds remotely for businesses anywhere in the United States. Chattanooga businesses get the same developer, the same packages, and the same prices, with meetings on site.
What is the difference between a custom website and a template?
A template makes your business fit a layout somebody else designed. A custom website is designed around what your customers actually come to do: see the menu, book the table, check the hours, order ahead, get directions. It is built by hand, loads fast on a phone, and is wired into the tools you already use rather than a plugin that approximates them.
When a template is the right call, and when custom is worth it
What does a website care plan include?
The $50 a month Care plan covers hosting, security, monitoring, and backups so the site stays up and stays safe. Care Plus at $250 a month adds the updates local businesses actually need: menu changes, hours, events, and new photos, handled for you instead of waiting on a ticket.
Do I need a website or custom software?
If customers need to find you, see what you offer, and get in touch or book, you need a website. If the problem is inside the business, such as estimates re-typed into invoices, scheduling by hand, or follow-ups that slip, that is custom software. Third Gear Ventures builds both, and many businesses need the site first and the operational layer later.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site ships with the basics done properly: page titles and descriptions, fast load times, structured data for your business type, a sitemap, and a Google Business Profile check. That gets a local business found for its own name and its main service in its own town. Ranking for wider terms takes ongoing content, which a Care Plus plan can cover.
