Web design for Ledyard and Montville businesses.
I'm Cevan Long, a web designer and conversion rate optimization (CRO) specialist based in Lisbon, about 20 minutes from Uncasville and 25 from Ledyard Center.
I design and build WordPress and Shopify websites for local businesses, then stay on as your long-term website partner, so the site keeps bringing in calls, bookings and sales.
My company, Movy Media, has been building websites since 2019: 120+ built and maintained so far, with 5.0 stars from 11 Google reviews.

Built for businesses down the road. Local missions
A few of the New London County organizations and businesses I've designed and built websites for.
2 of these are in Montville: Anchor Luxury Watch Co. in Oakdale and Jarrad Horsley Realty in Uncasville, a few minutes apart on either side of Route 32.
The rest are a short drive: Nyman Services, an excavation and hardscape contractor in Salem, the next town west, and the Norwich Community Development Corporation and Global City Norwich up the river. Anchor Home Inspection covers the whole county, Gales Ferry and Ledyard Center included.
They are the kinds of businesses the corridor runs on: retail, real estate, trades and the organizations working behind the scenes.

Built for the casino corridor. Web design for Ledyard and Montville businesses
Montville and Ledyard face each other across the Thames, halfway between Norwich and New London. Montville is about 18,000 people strung along Route 32 through Uncasville, Oakdale and Mohegan.
Ledyard is about 15,600 on the east bank, more rural, with Gales Ferry along Route 12 beside the sub base and Ledyard Center at Routes 117 and 214.
Mohegan Sun has been in Uncasville since 1996. Foxwoods, on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation within Ledyard's borders, added Great Wolf Lodge in 2025 and is opening an expo center in 2026.
A visitor at Mohegan Sun searches for a hotel, a bar or a ride near the casino on a Saturday night and picks from the first few results. A resident searches for a plumber or a dentist near home and compares 3 or 4. Both end up on the same website, and it has to answer fast: are you close, are you open, what does it cost, how do I book.

What a site here needs
- The village in the headline, the town in the title
Uncasville, Oakdale and Gales Ferry are what people type; Montville and Ledyard are what the address says. Use both.
- The casino and the drive time, when that is where customers come from
Say it in the words a visitor uses, with the hours and the price range.
- Fast on a Saturday night
A booking link or tap-to-call on the first screen, on a page that loads before the next search.
- Then it keeps improving
After launch I watch what visitors do, find the step where they leave, and fix that first.
From clients down the road. Local reviews
2 of the Google reviews, word for word, from clients a short drive from Lisbon. Every review is on the home page in full.
“He took my ideas and weaved in his technical genius to create an absolutely beautiful website that in only a couple weeks is already ranking with Google.”
“Our website is more involved and comprehensive than we could ever have expected for a pediatric primary care office. Cevan definitely is attentive to detail, very communicative, and amazing at staying on brand while adding his own creativity and flair.”

Close enough to meet. Where I work

Questions local businesses ask. Common questions
Can we meet in person?
Yes, on occasion. Most of the work happens over video calls and email, which keeps things moving, but I'm glad to meet up with local clients around New London County when it helps.
Have you built websites for businesses in Montville or Ledyard?
2 in Montville: Anchor Luxury Watch Co. in Oakdale and Jarrad Horsley Realty in Uncasville, both missions on this page.
Nothing in Ledyard yet, and I'd rather say so than pretend. Ledyard is about 25 minutes from Lisbon, so meeting up is easy.
My business depends on casino traffic. How should the site handle that?
Say so, in the words a visitor uses. People search for a hotel, a limo, a restaurant or a bar "near Mohegan Sun" or "near Foxwoods".
So the page names the casino and the drive time, shows the price range and the hours, and makes booking or calling a one-tap step. Weekend traffic peaks are when the site has to be fastest, not slowest.
People search for Uncasville and Gales Ferry, not Montville and Ledyard. What should my site say?
Both. The town name goes in the page title and the address; the village name goes in the headline and the copy, because Uncasville, Oakdale and Gales Ferry are what people type and what shows on a map.
If you serve the whole corridor, a page each for the villages you work in, written for each one, does more than a single Montville page.
Do you help with local SEO and Google Business Profile?
The website side is mine: on-page local SEO, your Google reviews shown on the site, and pages for the towns you serve.
Your Google Business Profile gets you into the map results, and I'll point out what it needs so the profile and the site work as a pair.
How long does a new website take?
About 12 weeks from the kickoff call to launch day. That covers discovery, design, the build, and a round of review and testing on a private staging site.
After launch the work keeps going, with updates, monitoring and monthly improvements.
What happens after launch?
Launch is the start, not the finish line. You'll have a dedicated, long-term website partner: send me content updates and changes whenever you need them, and I take care of them.
I also keep the site updated and monitored, send monthly reports, and make improvements based on what visitors actually do.
Who owns the website and the domain?
You always own your domain. It's registered in your name, not mine, because you should have full control of it. The website itself becomes fully yours once the balance is paid at the end of your one-year term.
