Built by a builder. Not a template factory.
PageForge is a one-person web agency building custom, conversion-focused websites for local creatives. I use AI to cut the busywork and overhead — so you get an agency-quality site in days, not months, without the agency markup.
Connor Kochevar
Founder — Salt Lake City, UT
I'm a web designer based in Salt Lake City, and I've built custom websites for real, paying clients. My edge isn't only the code — it's understanding people. I'm pursuing a bachelor's in Psychology with an emphasis in behavioral psychology and a minor in sociology, and that focus on human behavior shapes how I approach every project. What makes someone trust a business, what drives a decision, and what keeps them on a page instead of leaving — that isn't a soft skill. It's the whole job.
““Most small businesses deserve better than a template and a disappearing act.”
We exist because the alternatives aren't good enough.
The problem with agencies
High overhead, slow timelines, and a finished site that collects dust the moment the retainer ends. You paid five figures for something that no longer reflects your business.
The problem with templates
Fast and cheap — and it shows. No strategy, no differentiation, no story. Your business isn't generic. Your website shouldn't be either.
PageForge sits in the gap. Custom-built sites, delivered on a real timeline, at a price that actually makes sense for a local business. And if you want someone to stick around after launch — that's the Care Plan.
A website isn't a one-time purchase.
It's a living thing that needs to be tended. The Forge Care Plan (three tiers, from $75/month) keeps your site healthy, current, and working after the build is done.
