Anytime I have needed support, they are typically back with me in minutes and the issue resolved quickly and inexpensively. I could not ask for anything more and they have my highest recommendation.”

Digital Marketing
Building and Optimizing Your Online Business for the Digital Age.Grand Rapids Tech is West Michigan’s leading solution for website design & development. If you’re looking to create your web business, or enhance your online marketing – you’ll want to consult professionals that speak the language of web.
According to research, consumers are making more buying decisions via what they see and find on the internet. Creating a professional image on the internet is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.
Lets get in touch and start building!
Website Design
Chances are you’ve seen a few amateur websites for local businesses in your area. Don’t be those guys!
If your web presence needs a boost, your worst enemy is a design that conveys a poor image. Research has shown that users are likely to exit a page within the first few seconds based on page-load-speed and design quality.
This is called a “bounce-back”.
…And the loss doesn’t stop there– search engines like Google look at this data, and will rank your site lower on search results if the bounce-back rate is too high! Both visual appeal and user-experience cannot be neglected.
The main culprits that cause poor user-experience (UX)?
- A design that doesn’t perform well on the users device (desktop/tablet/mobile) – responsive web design is a must in 2020 and beyond.
- Slow Load Speed – usually caused by outdated site-building tools or poor development practices.
- Poor Navigation – usually caused by lack of site-planning.
Aside from providing digital branding, Grand Rapids Tech builds client websites with these key elements in mind:
- Responsive design for all devices – Desktop, Laptops, Tablets, and Mobile.
- Website Speed
- A focus on user-experience (UX)
- Content Management Solutions that help you get the word out!
Whether you need a re-design of your current site, or are starting from scratch, you can contact us here to get started:
Boy Scouts of America

The Michigan Crossroads Council reached out to us to build a web app for user referrals. We jumped at the chance to create something new with the latest UI and cloud computing technology.

Services Provided:
- Custom Development and Responsive Design
- Dynamic Form UI via React.js
- Serverless Architecture via AWS Lambda and Cloudfront
- Amazon AWS Pinpoint for cost-effective Email and SMS campaigns
