The Math

Your site pays for itself

1,100

monthly searches for painters near you

5% of search traffic = 55 visitors/month. 4% convert to calls = 2 new leads. Average paint job = $3,000. One extra job per month = $36,000/year from a $2,000 website.

About

Built by a developer, not a salesperson.

I'm Tom. I've been writing code for over a decade — building desktop apps, web platforms, and design systems. Not selling templates.

Every site I build is hand-coded. No page builders, no WordPress, no drag-and-drop. That means it loads faster, ranks better, and doesn't break when Google changes its algorithm.

I started Alchemist Labs because I saw how many great local businesses were invisible online. Painters with 20 years of experience, zero web presence. Plumbers getting undercut by companies with worse work but better SEO. I fix that.

1,100 people searched for painters near Winder, GA last month — and most found nothing. If you don't have a website, those customers are going to your competitors. A website is how you show up.
GBP is how you show up on Google Maps when someone searches 'painters near me.' We claim your listing, add photos, hours, services, and set up a review link. It's $99 and takes about a day.
Yes. $50/month hosting includes minor edits — phone number changes, text updates, seasonal adjustments. Bigger changes are billed at $75/hour.
No. Every site is hand-coded from scratch. That means better performance, better SEO, and a site that doesn't look like everyone else's. No WordPress, no Wix, no Squarespace.
We can audit your current site and rebuild or improve it. Most DIY sites we see have slow load times, no SEO, and aren't mobile-friendly. We fix all of that.
We work with businesses across Georgia, primarily in the Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, and Atlanta metro areas. Since everything is built remotely, we can work with anyone.
