Chal Congdon - Quantek Instruments, Grafton, MA
Your website should be your hardest-working employee; bringing in customers while you sleep, showcasing what makes your business special, and making it easy for Grafton locals to find and choose you.
But if your site looks outdated, doesn't work well on mobile phones, or isn't showing up when people search Google for businesses like yours, you're losing customers to competitors every single day.
Here's the problem most Grafton small businesses face:
Stanford University research shows 75% of consumers judge your business's credibility based on your website design. And with 76% of people searching on their smartphone visiting a local business within a day, if your website isn't mobile-friendly and easy to find on Google, you're literally losing customers to competitors every single day.
The reality? If your website has even two or three of these issues, you're leaving money on the table:
Your site looks dated or unprofessional next to larger companies
People searching Google for your services can't find you
Mobile visitors struggle to navigate or contact you
Making simple updates requires paying someone every time
You have no idea if your website is generating leads or just sitting there
That's where Studio 3 Elm makes the difference.
I'm Julianna, owner of Studio 3 Elm, and I specialize in helping Grafton small businesses create powerful online presences through custom Squarespace and WordPress websites that deliver real results. You won't get cookie-cutter templates, drawn-out timelines, or confusing tech jargon. Instead, you'll get a polished, mobile-optimized website that builds trust, ranks well in local searches, and converts visitors into customers. And the best part? You'll be able to manage it yourself without any technical know-how.
Why Grafton Small Businesses Trust Studio 3 Elm
Local expertise you can trust.
As a Central Massachusetts web designer based nearby in Northbridge, I know the challenges small businesses in Grafton, Shrewsbury, and Westborough face when competing online. You're not hiring a distant agency or someone overseas; you're partnering with a local professional who understands your market and your customers.
Websites that actually bring in business.
A pretty website means nothing if it doesn't bring in customers. That's why every site I create is built to rank in local Google searches, perform flawlessly on smartphones, and make it simple for visitors to reach out or buy from you. Design serves your business goals, not the other way around.
You stay in control.
I choose Squarespace specifically because it puts you in the driver's seat. Want to update your hours? Adjust pricing? Add a service? You can handle it yourself in minutes. No waiting on a developer, no extra charges, no headaches.
Fair pricing and realistic timelines.
I complete most projects within 2-4 weeks, not the months some agencies require, and my rates are built with small business budgets in mind. You'll get transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees, no pressure tactics, and none of the inflated costs you'd see from big firms.
Squarespace Circle Member and Square Secrets Business graduate
My certificates from the Square Secrets and Square Secrets Business courses mean you benefit from my expertise. As a bonus, as a Squarespace Circle Member I have access to newly released features and discounts off Squarespace plans for my clients.
Let’s talk about your website
How We Build Websites for Grafton MA Businesses
Getting your new website is straightforward. No complicated processes, no endless back-and-forth. Just four simple steps from our first conversation to your site going live.
Free Consultation (30 minutes)
We'll hop on a call to discuss your goals, target audience, and what you want your website to accomplish. If you have an existing site, I'll audit it and show you exactly what needs improvement. If you're starting fresh, we'll sketch out ideas together.
What you'll get: Clear understanding of what's possible, ballpark timeline, and honest feedback; no pressure, no obligation.
Proposal & Design Plan (2-3 days)
After our consultation, I'll create a detailed proposal outlining exactly what I'll build, the timeline, and transparent pricing. Once you approve, we will book a date to start designing your custom website based on your brand, goals, and the examples you love.
What you'll get: Clear scope of work, fixed pricing (no surprise fees), and a design that reflects your vision.
Build & Collaborate (2-3 weeks)
I'll build your site and share progress with you along the way. You'll review the design and functionality, provide feedback, and we'll refine it together typically through 2-3 rounds of revisions until it's exactly what you want.
What you'll get: A collaborative process where your input shapes the final product. No surprises, just steady progress toward a website you love.
Launch & Training (1 week)
Once you're thrilled with everything, we'll launch your site to the world. I'll train you on how to make updates yourself (it's easier than you think!), ensure everything works perfectly, and provide 30 days of free support for any questions or tweaks.
What you'll get: A live website bringing in customers, the knowledge to manage it yourself, and peace of mind knowing I'm here if you need help.

Featured Project:
Quantek Instruments (Grafton, MA)
One of my favorite projects was creating a refreshed website design for Quantek Instruments, a Grafton-based business. They wanted a clean, modern design that communicated credibility and made it easier for customers to get in touch, and that’s exactly what we achieved!
Project Highlights:
Custom 13 page website redesign
Clear calls-to-action to drive leads
Consistent branding across pages
Modern feel with easy navigation
I would highly recommend Studio 3 Elm (Julianna). We have an established business/website that needed some redesign and Julianna did a great job. What stood out is her communication, and ability to quickly understand our niche, and what we were looking for in the final product. She accomplished everything we asked for, and added some of her own design schemes that came out looking better than I could have hoped. Thanks Julianna for your great work.
