Web design for New London County businesses.
I'm Cevan Long, a web designer and conversion rate optimization (CRO) specialist based in Lisbon, in the middle of New London County, with most of Southeastern Connecticut within about 30 minutes.
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.
Every one of these is in the county or just over its line: the Norwich Community Development Corporation and Global City Norwich in the county's biggest city, and Anchor Luxury Watch Co. in Oakdale and Jarrad Horsley Realty in Uncasville, both in Montville.
Nyman Services is an excavation and hardscape contractor in Salem, Anchor Home Inspection covers the whole county, and Grow With Me Pediatrics is in Canterbury, the next town up Route 169 from Lisbon.
They are the kinds of businesses Southeastern Connecticut runs on: trades, real estate, retail, health care and the organizations working behind the scenes.

Built for Southeastern Connecticut. Web design for New London County businesses
New London County is the southeast corner of Connecticut: 21 towns and about 270,000 people between the Connecticut River and Rhode Island, from Lebanon and Colchester down to Long Island Sound.
Norwich, New London and Groton are the cities; East Lyme, Stonington, Colchester, Ledyard, Montville, Waterford and Griswold are the big towns around them.
Connecticut has had no county governments since 1960, but everyone here still says New London County, and so do the people searching for a business in it.
The economy is unusual for a place this size: the sub base and Electric Boat, Pfizer, 2 casinos, the Millstone plant, 2 hospitals and 3 colleges.
Around them are about 8,000 private businesses whose customers are residents, Navy families who arrive on orders, casino and shoreline visitors, and students. Nearly all of them find a local business the same way: a search on a phone, a look at 3 or 4 results, and a tap.

What a site here needs
- Found
The service and the towns in the title and on the page, a page for each town you serve, and the on-page SEO behind it.
- Trusted
Your Google reviews on your own site, real photos of the people and the work, hours and a service area where people look.
- Contacted
Tap-to-call on every screen, a short form or booking link that works with one thumb, and tracking so you can see what the site brings in.
- 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.”

Questions local businesses ask. Common questions
Which New London County towns do you work in?
All of them. I'm based in Lisbon, and most of the county is within about 30 minutes.
That includes Norwich, New London, Groton, Mystic, Stonington, Waterford, East Lyme, Montville, Ledyard, Colchester, Griswold, Preston and Salem, plus the smaller towns in between.
Each town page on this site shows the nearest clients and the drive from Lisbon.
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.
Why hire a local web designer instead of an agency out of state?
Because the site is about a place, and it helps to know the place. I know which roads people name, which village they search for, and what a summer weekend in Mystic or a shift change at Electric Boat means for a business.
We can also meet in person when it helps, and you reach me, not an account manager.
Is New London County still a thing?
As a place, yes. Connecticut has had no county governments since 1960, and since 2022 the Census Bureau counts by planning region instead, but everyone here still says New London County, and so do search engines.
On this site it means the 21 towns from Old Lyme to Stonington and from Lebanon down to the Sound.
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.
Ready when you are. Your mission next
