Bike shop
Once Ridden Bikes
The old site still said 2013, had no HTTPS and was hard to use on a phone. The redesign puts hours, directions and a tap-to-call button under your thumb.
Open the concept
Your shop is worth walking into. Your website should be too.
We build fast, good-looking websites for Columbus small businesses, and we build yours first. You see the finished site before you pay anything.
Drag to refresh.
This is what a good website does for a business people already love: nothing about the shop changes except how it greets you.

We build it before you buy it.
Most people meet your business online before they ever see your door. So we skip the sales meetings and show you the real thing.
-
We build your preview
From your current site, your Google listing and your photos. Usually within two days, free, no strings.
-
You look at it on your phone
We walk you through it on a quick call. Want changes? Tell us. Don't like it? You owe nothing.
-
It goes live on your domain
Half up front, half when it's live. We set up hosting and HTTPS and handle the tech from then on.
Recent redesigns
Concepts we built for real Columbus businesses to show them what's possible. They're previews, not those businesses' official websites.
Dessert shop
Mochi Ring
A candy-bright, phone-first site built from their own menu, because nobody orders dessert from a desktop.
Open the concept
Student housing
Inn Town Homes
A family company renting near campus since 1969, and a site that still said 2015. The redesign finally looks as trusted as the company is.

Rentals
NorthSteppe Realty
Built around the six University District neighborhoods they rent in, so students find the right street first.
Open the conceptBuilt to bring people through the door
A pretty site that nobody can use on a phone is just a nicer-looking problem. Every site we build does the unglamorous parts right.
- Call and directions under your thumb. One tap to phone you or open the map, on every screen.
- Matches your Google listing. Same name, address, phone and hours, so search engines trust it.
- Fast on a phone. No bloated page builders. Loads in a couple of seconds on cell data.
- Found in local search. The behind-the-scenes markup Google reads for local businesses.
- Your real content. Your photos, your menu, your listings. No stock people, no made-up reviews.
- Yours to keep. Your domain, your files. If you ever leave, you take the site with you.
Who you're dealing with
Hi, I'm Jason. I live in Columbus and I started Main Street Refresh because too many great local shops have websites that make them look closed. I use modern tools, AI included, to build quickly, which is why this costs hundreds instead of thousands. But you deal with one real person who answers your emails and texts himself, not a call center or a template factory.
Jason, Main Street Refresh
Questions people ask
Is the preview really free?
Yes. We build it, you look at it. If it's not for you, that's the end of it and you owe nothing.
Do we have to meet?
No. Most of it happens by phone, text and email. A short call to walk through your preview is usually all it takes.
I already have a domain. Can I keep it?
Yes. Your new site goes live on your existing domain, and your email keeps working. If you don't have one, we'll help you pick and register one in your name.
Who owns the site?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, and if you ever want to move on we hand over the files.
What if I need changes later?
On the care plan, small edits like new hours, prices or photos are included. Bigger additions get a quote first, never a surprise bill.
How long does it take?
Your preview usually takes a couple of days. Once you say yes, most sites are live within a week.
Want to see yours?
Tell us where to find your business. We'll build a preview and send you the link, usually within two days.
