Hi, I'm David. I build websites for the businesses I see every day.
I started Mackey Web Studio because I kept seeing great local businesses in Chatham and around Springfield losing customers to competitors with a better online presence. A hardworking shop with a weak website — or no website at all — was getting passed over for someone with a slick page and a few reviews. That never sat right with me.
So I do one thing, and I do it well: I build custom websites for Chatham, Springfield, and Sangamon County businesses, fast. No bloated agency, no account managers, no $10,000 invoices. Just me — designing a real site around your business, then handling the hosting, updates, and lead capture so you never have to think about the tech again.
When we talk, you talk to me — the person who actually builds your site. That's the difference.

Questions, answered.
Once you approve your mockup, your full site goes live within 7 days. The free mockup itself usually lands within 24 hours of your intake form.
No problem — the mockup is free with no obligation. We'll tweak it until you love it, and you're never locked into anything.
Yes, 100%. It's your site. If you ever cancel the monthly plan, I'll export everything and hand it over to you.
No problem at all — we'll connect your existing domain to your new site. If you don't have one yet, your first year is free.
Yes — hosting, SSL, and monthly backups are all included in your monthly plan. You never have to think about the technical side.
Basic SEO is included with every build. Ongoing local SEO work is included in Authority Care.
A live website needs hosting, SSL, backups, and security updates just to stay online — that's what the care plan pays for. It's the same reason no serious agency ships a build and disappears. You can cancel any time and I'll hand the site over to you.
