Common questions.
Founder-led, Augusta-rooted.
Luminate Web Design & Development was started to give Augusta's small businesses, ministries, and nonprofits the kind of website usually reserved for big budgets.
Jacob founded Luminate after seeing how many great local businesses were being held back by outdated, hard-to-use websites — or no website at all. Today, Luminate designs and builds custom sites for businesses, churches, and nonprofits across the CSRA, and stays on as a long-term partner through its care plans.
Every project is handled personally — one point of contact, real conversations, and a site that's actually built for how your business works.
The principles behind every project.
Trust by design
Clean, credible design that makes a strong first impression — because trust is earned in seconds.
Craft over templates
Every site is custom-built around your brand and your customers, not stretched over a generic theme.
Local & personal
You work directly with Jacob from start to finish — no account managers, no outsourcing.
Built to last
Sites are built on solid foundations and backed by ongoing care, so they keep working long after launch.
A simple, guided process.
