We Bring Your Website Vision to LIfe.

Your website should reflect the heart of your brand and the impact you make. At Akili Design & Marketing, we craft custom, user-friendly websites for small businesses, consultants, and non-profits that leave a lasting impression. From fully custom designs to budget-friendly DIY solutions, we build sites that look beautiful, function seamlessly, and help you grow your reach and amplify your mission.

Design With Purpose, Built for Change

Your website should do more than exist online — it should tell your story, inspire action, and help you make a difference. At Akili Design & Marketing, we combine creative design, strategic SEO, and a deep understanding of mission-driven organizations to build websites that truly work for you.

We know the challenges small businesses, nonprofits and consultants face — limited time, limited budgets and the need to create real impact. That’s why we design sites that are beautiful, user-friendly, and built to convert—whether that means attracting donors, booking clients, or growing your community.

With expertise in UX/UI design, SEO, and mobile responsiveness, every site we create is fast, functional, and future-ready—so you can focus on your mission while we make sure you’re seen, supported, and successful online.

Questions about custom websites? We have answers!

How much does a website cost?

How long does it take to build a website?

Do you only build websites, or do you offer other services?

Websites are just the beginning! We also provide SEO, branding, digital marketing, and PPC advertising to ensure your site not only looks amazing but also drives results.

Can I update my website myself?

What’s the process for getting started?

It all starts with a conversation! We’ll discuss your goals, business needs, and vision for your site. From there, we’ll create a plan, design, develop, and launch a website that works for you.

My experience working with Leng has been exceptional.  I have been part of small business for over 10 years and the common issue I run into with marketing companies is too general of an approach.  I have a unique product and most companies have not taken the time to understand my unique selling position.  Leng spent time listening and asking relevant questions so she understood what I want to accomplish and what hurdles I am having in route to that goal.  She not only gave me multiple solutions to those issues, she has been instrumental in helping me organize my efforts when things seem chaotic.  We are still in the early stages of our work together but I am thankful that I have her on my team and look forward to continuing to learn from her vast marketing expertise.

I trust her with helping me tell our story. She can take our random scribbles on a piece of paper and help me take it to a fully completed project, or whatever we want to do. Anyone who can do that is a miracle worker.

Leng and her team at Akili design produced some beautiful work definitely surpassing my expectations which were already high!  Her work was always on time and her flexibility with last minute changes kept things very stress-free. Loved the online portal she has set up. I could send her material 24 hours a day and know that she got it. Just fantastic. I would personally recommend talking to Leng about any web design or other web based issue that you have.
