A Better Web

What A Better Web does

A Better Web, Inc. is a privately held web design and hosting company headquartered at 1633 New Garden Road, Unit 1090, Greensboro, North Carolina. Founded in 1999 by spouses Summer Murphy (President) and Tim Murphy (Vice President), the company has operated continuously for over 25 years providing custom website design and hosting services to established small and mid-sized businesses in four primary verticals: healthcare, law, construction, and professional services. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, and the firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A activity, or external investors.

The company's product set is narrowly defined around two core offerings: custom website design with intuitive functionality built on a stable, secure framework, and recurring web hosting on reliable, redundant server infrastructure. The technology stack is described only at the level of commodity web hosting and design frameworks; no proprietary platform, no standalone application, no public API, and no third-party integrations are disclosed in the source material. An add-on offering, "Online Visibility Services," is positioned as a supplementary module focused on generating new business and converting visitors to customers. There are no patents, trademarks, certifications, or formal partnerships disclosed.

A Better Web operates a sales-led, direct-consultation go-to-market motion in which inbound consultation requests are handled personally by the co-founders. Revenue derives from a mix of one-time web design fees and recurring hosting subscriptions, with all pricing quoted on a custom, non-public basis. The marketing footprint is narrow — the company's own website, a single third-party directory listing on Expertise.com, and active client review solicitation — and the operating geography is described as Southeast US, concentrated in the North Carolina region. Pricing is explicitly disclaimed on the website as informational only and not a binding contract.

Broad incumbents

• Web.com: Web.com provides website design, hosting, and online marketing services targeted at small businesses. It is a much larger incumbent in the same SMB web design + hosting category where A Better Web operates, but serves a national rather than regional footprint.
• SiteGround: SiteGround is a hosting provider focused on managed shared, cloud, and WordPress hosting for SMBs. It serves as an alternative to A Better Web's hosting service for customers who prefer a larger specialist host.
• DreamHost: DreamHost provides web hosting, managed WordPress, and domain services primarily to SMBs and developers. It competes directly with A Better Web's hosting/recurring revenue stream though not its custom design offering.
• Automattic (WordPress.com): Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and other web publishing platforms, provides hosting, CMS, and site-building tools aimed at SMBs. It competes with A Better Web on both hosting and the DIY path to building a custom site.
• GoDaddy: GoDaddy offers domain registration, web hosting, and a DIY website builder (GoDaddy Websites + Marketing) for SMBs. It addresses the same SMB customer pain points (online presence, hosting) as A Better Web but primarily through self-service tooling rather than custom design services.
• Bluehost: Bluehost is a large web hosting provider (and WordPress-recommended host) offering shared hosting, managed WordPress, and basic site-building tools for SMBs. It overlaps with A Better Web's hosting business but does not provide custom design services.

Emerging players

• Wix: Wix operates a self-service website builder platform used heavily by SMBs and small professionals to create their own websites. It competes for the same SMB customer wallet share as A Better Web but via a DIY model that does not include custom design or managed services.
• Squarespace: Squarespace provides a subscription-based website builder and hosting platform popular with SMBs, creatives, and small professional services firms. It competes with A Better Web by enabling prospective clients to build sites themselves rather than hiring a design agency.
