Pastor Designs
At Pastor Designs, we see a website as much more than pretty pixels. It is one of the most important tools a business has to attract, inform, and convert new customers. Your website is often people’s first interaction with your business, and first impressions matter. Our goal is to make that interaction count by building websites that are beautiful, intuitive, and designed with purpose.
Good design goes deeper than surface-level style. We think about the full experience of a visitor — how they navigate your site, how clearly information is presented, and how easy it is to take the next step. At the same time, we know that visual polish, consistent branding, and a clear voice all play a huge role in shaping how your business is perceived online. We bring these pieces together so that your website is easy to use, looks professional, and feels aligned with your brand.
Working with us means you’ll always know where things stand. We work closely with every client, keeping communication clear and consistent from start to finish. Responsiveness and collaboration are central to the way we operate. We know that the best results come from truly understanding your business goals, and making sure the final product reflects them.
Of course, design is only part of the equation. A website also needs to perform. Every site we build is fast, responsive, reliable, accessible, and optimized for search engines. These technical details make a big difference in how well a site serves your business and how easily your customers can find and use it.
We offer additional in-house services including graphic design, image editing and sourcing, copywriting, SEO services, Google Ads management, and blog content creation. These services allow us to extend the impact of your website, strengthen your brand, and help you reach more customers, all with the convenience of working with one dedicated team.
At Pastor Designs, our mission is simple: create websites that combine strong design, seamless usability, and technical performance, all while delivering the kind of client service that makes the process straightforward and enjoyable.
Richard Pastor
Hi, my name’s Rich. I started Pastor Designs with the core belief that small businesses deserve the same high level of design and service that the big guys enjoy from large, fancy agencies.
I’ve run small businesses besides of my own, and I know that your business is your baby; you want to work with someone who will take the time to understand your wants and needs, and who will help you achieve them. When you work with Pastor Designs, you’ll be working directly with me.
A lifelong Philadelphian, I’ve been making websites since the days of the dial-up and watched the industry grow and develop. After graduating art school with a degree in painting, I taught art and bartended to pay the bills. Eventually I moved on to managing bars and restaurants for the better part of a decade, where I learned the ins and outs of running a small business. Along the way, I married the love of my life and we had the most wonderful son.
All the while, my web design side-hustle grew, gradually turning into a freelance career and allowing me to be my own boss. There were stumbles along the way, but the loyalty of my clients and the gains I saw them making as a result of our websites prompted me to start Pastor Designs.
We're small but mighty. As any small business owner can attest to, I wear many hats at Pastor Designs. That means, when you work with us, you work directly with me. Every design decision, every line of code, is made or approved by me. Every email or phone call is answered promptly by me. If you want a personalized approach to growing your business, please get in touch. We'd love to be a part of your team.
