About 54 Design Group
I'm Greg, and I've been building websites for Missouri businesses and organizations since 2010. Based in Mexico, Missouri, I serve clients throughout central Missouri and beyond—from small nonprofits to government agencies to growing manufacturers.
Why I work the way I do
After years in this industry, I've seen too many businesses struggle with websites that weren't built with their actual needs in mind. Overpromised features. Inaccessible designs that create legal liability. Platforms they can't manage themselves. And price tags that don't match the value delivered.
Missouri Web Design with Accessibility Built In
So I built 54 Design Group differently.
I specialize exclusively in Squarespace and Duda—not because I'm limited, but because deep platform expertise delivers better results than surface-level knowledge of everything. I know these systems inside and out, including how to customize them for accessibility compliance, which most designers ignore entirely.
What you get working with me
Direct access, no filters
You work with me from discovery to launch. No account managers. No miscommunication through layers of staff. Your questions get answered by the person actually building your site.Accessibility built in, not bolted on
Every website I create meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards from day one. Proper contrast. Keyboard navigation. Alt text. All the compliance elements that protect you legally and serve all your customers well. This isn't an upcharge—it's how websites should be built.Straightforward guidance, no upselling
I'll recommend what you actually need for domain registration, hosting, SEO, and functionality. If you need services I don't provide—photography, video, complex branding—I'll connect you with trusted professionals rather than marking up subcontracted work.Transparent pricing
Without agency overhead, I charge for my expertise and time—not conference room rent, sales teams, or executive salaries. You get professional results at rates that fit your budget.
Experience You Can Count On
Why this approach works
I've built approximately 100 websites for clients who appreciate transparency over sales tactics. Many stay with me for years because I train them to manage their own content updates—your website should work for you, not require constant paid intervention.
Whether you're launching your first site or redesigning an outdated one, you'll get honest answers, proven platforms, and a website that's accessible, effective, and actually manageable.
