No deposits. No contracts. No risk.
We've never required a deposit to start a project. We've never locked a client into a long-term contract. We work this way because we believe you should be able to walk away if we're not delivering — and in over a decade of building websites for Iowa businesses, almost nobody ever has.
You get results first. The invoice comes after.

What Iowa business owners say about working with us.
"Team 218 is simply AMAZING! You get immediate responses and solutions are implemented in record time. Chuck & Kim go above and beyond in every aspect of web design."
Kim Steinhauser, Owner, Belle La Vie Beauty Bar, Davenport, IA

Kyle Kelly, Owner, Kelly Designs In Concrete, Davenport, IA

Real people. Real answers. Real fast.
We are Kim and Chuck Hersey — the entire team behind Team 218. When you call, you get us. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. Not an account manager who has never touched a line of code.
We started Team 218 in 2014 from our home at 218 Main Street — that's where the name comes from. Over a decade later, we've built more than 75 websites for Iowa businesses and nonprofits, and we still treat every project like our reputation depends on it. Because it does. If you run a home-based business in eastern Iowa, we know exactly where you're starting from.
Proud member of the Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce.

How much does a website cost?
Most custom WordPress sites start at $2,500. The final number depends on how many pages you need, whether you have content ready to go, and how complex the functionality is. We scope every project individually — no surprise invoices, no upsells after the fact. And since we don't require a deposit, you're not risking anything to find out.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most sites launch within 4 to 6 weeks from our first conversation. More complex sites with lots of pages or custom functionality take longer. We'll give you an honest timeline before we start — and we stick to it.
How long does SEO take to show results?
The honest answer is six months. Anyone who promises faster results is selling you something. What we can tell you is that the work we do in month one — technical fixes, content structure, local optimization — builds the foundation that compounds over time. By month six, you'll see it in your rankings and your phone.
Should I use Wix or Squarespace instead of hiring a designer?
You can - and for a hobby site or a temporary placeholder, they're fine. But if your website is supposed to bring in customers, the limitations add up fast. You don't own the platform, you can't control the code, and you're paying monthly forever for something you'll eventually outgrow. A custom WordPress site costs more upfront and nothing after that.
What makes Team 218 different from other Iowa web design agencies?
Two things. First, when you call, you get us — Chuck and Kim — not an account manager or a call center. Second, we don't ask for a deposit. We do use a simple working agreement — our insurance carrier requires it — but it's plain English, not a 30-page legal document designed to lock you in. We've built over 75 sites for Iowa businesses since 2014 on that model. We keep clients because the work is good.
