Your local team · St. Louis, Missouri
We’re a family-owned business in St. Louis. You don’t need to know website jargon. Tell us what you do and we’ll help with the rest.
What you offer, who you serve, and what you want the website to do.
A new site or a redesign, the pages you need, and the features that matter.
The pages, price, and next steps, agreed before we build.
Design, development, and a clear plan for your website.
SEO & AI search optimization
We combine custom design, SEO, and clear writing to help people discover your business on Google and in tools like ChatGPT. Once they arrive, your website shows why they should choose you—and makes it easy to call or request a quote.
A useful description of what you offer, who it’s for, and how to get in touch.
Pages built around your services and the areas you serve.
Clear explanations, real examples, and customer reviews.
Simple forms and phone options that work on every device.
Clear page titles, service information, search setup, and a plan for your existing links.
New content and ongoing search work are priced separately. Rankings and AI mentions are not guaranteed.
Why choose a custom build?
A template gives you a starting point. We handle the design, writing, and build around your business.
Made for your business.
We design around your services, brand, and customers. You approve the design before we build.
A ready-made theme starts with layouts used by other businesses. Changing them may need extra design and coding.
You start with a template and editor. Making it feel like your business still takes design work.
Build only what you need.
We control the code and test how your pages load. We can fix problems without working around an unused theme feature.
Heavy themes and extra plugins can slow pages down. They need careful setup, testing, and updates.
Wix manages the platform and hosting. You can improve content and settings, but hosting choices stay with Wix.
The right tools for your site.
Forms, bookings, and other features are planned around your needs. You know what is included before work starts.
Plugins can add features. Extra licenses and compatibility checks may be needed.
Features must fit Wix’s apps and tools. Some requests need a workaround or separate service.
More than an SEO checkbox.
We plan pages around your services and area, with clear writing and search setup built in.
SEO plugins provide settings. Someone still needs to plan and write useful pages.
Built-in SEO tools help with setup. They do not write your offer or answer your customers’ questions.
Keep control after launch.
You own the code and domain. You can change developers or move to compatible hosting.
Self-hosted WordPress can move hosts too. Themes, plugins, licenses, and updates still need managing.
You own your content, but the site runs on Wix. Moving it to another host generally means rebuilding.
With River City, you get a design made for you, clear steps before launch, and ownership after the build.
Comparing template-led builds with our custom service. WordPress and Wix also support custom work; results depend on the implementation. Every website needs upkeep, including ours. Wix hosting details · WordPress plugin management.
