Forty-Second Street builds custom websites for St. Petersburg and Pinellas County businesses: home-service contractors, restaurants, med spas, dentists, salons and retail. Every site ships with call tracking, online booking and missed-call text-back, is structured so Google and AI tools like ChatGPT can read and recommend it, and starts at a fixed $2,495, live in 30 days.

St. Pete is its own market, not a Tampa suburb

Plenty of agencies treat St. Petersburg as a line item on a Tampa page. Customers here do not search that way. Someone in Kenwood looking for a plumber, or a visitor on Central Avenue asking their phone where to eat, wants a St. Pete business, and Google and AI tools reward the site that proves it is one. A Tampa address and a generic "serving Tampa Bay" footer lose that search to the shop down the street.

What St. Pete customers check before they call

This is a city that notices design. Downtown, the Edge District and Grand Central are full of independent restaurants, studios and boutiques with strong visual brands, and that raises the bar for everyone else. A dated template reads as a business that stopped paying attention. But looks alone do not win the call. The site still has to load fast on a phone, show real reviews and real photos, and answer the question the person actually searched: price range, service area, hours, how soon you can come.

Built for a coastal, storm-aware market

After Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, a large share of Pinellas homeowners started searching for roofing, restoration, flood mitigation, elevation, windows and insurance help, often from a phone in a damaged house. Trades that serve St. Pete need sites that answer emergency and insurance questions plainly, show licensing and service area on the first screen, and make the call button impossible to miss. We build those pages from the start, not after the next storm.

How much does a website cost in St. Petersburg?

A Booked-Jobs Website starts at a fixed $2,495 for a five-page site and runs to about $7,500 for a larger build with a blog and neighborhood pages. Call tracking, online booking, missed-call text-back, a review system and a Google and AI search foundation are included. You get one number on a 30-minute call, before any work starts, and it does not move.

Neighborhood pages that match how Pinellas searches

St. Pete is a city of distinct neighborhoods: Old Northeast and Snell Isle, Kenwood and Crescent Lake, the Grand Central and Edge districts, Tyrone, Shore Acres, plus Gulfport and the beach towns next door. If you serve several of them, a real page for each one gives "near me" searches somewhere to land. It ranks faster than one generic page and costs the same to build.

Who we build for in St. Pete

Home services are our deepest specialty: roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pool, screen enclosure and restoration companies across Pinellas. We also build for restaurants, bars, galleries, med spas, dental practices, salons, law offices and retail.

Questions we get about web design

How much does a website cost in St. Petersburg?

A Booked-Jobs Website starts at a fixed $2,495 for a five-page site and runs to about $7,500 for larger builds with a blog and neighborhood pages. Call tracking, online booking and missed-call text-back are included. You get one number before work starts and it does not change.

How long does it take to build?

Thirty days from kickoff to live. Scope is agreed on the first call, you approve the design before it is built, and tracking and booking are tested before launch.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The site, the domain, the content and every connected account are registered in your business name from day one. If we part ways, nothing switches off.

Will ChatGPT and Google AI recommend my business?

AI tools can only recommend what they can read. We keep all copy and schema in the server HTML, answer common questions directly on the page, and match your business facts to your Google Business Profile, which is what those tools check before they name a business.

Do you build for businesses on the beaches and in Gulfport too?

Yes. We build for businesses across Pinellas County: downtown St. Pete, the Grand Central and Edge districts, Kenwood, Old Northeast, Gulfport, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Seminole, Pinellas Park and Clearwater.

Do you only build for contractors?

No. Home services are our deepest specialty, and we also build for restaurants, bars, galleries, med spas, dentists, salons, law offices and retail across St. Pete.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. Our Florida office is in Wesley Chapel and we meet clients across Tampa Bay, including Pinellas, or on a video call.

You work with people, not a ticket queue

Mike Carleton, founder of Forty-Second Street

“Most owners I meet have been burned once already: a pretty site that never rang the phone, or an agency that vanished after launch. So here is how we work. You get one price before we start. You see the design before we build it. Every call the site produces is tracked so you can judge us on results, not on how it looks. And everything we make is in your name.”
