Helios builds smart, simple websites that turn local searches into real customers — so the shops, studios, and family businesses that make Los Angeles special can grow.
Not just a pretty page — a real tool that helps owners pay rent, hire staff, and keep their doors open.
"We exist to turn local foot traffic into real revenue for the small businesses that give Los Angeles its soul."
There are more than 244,000 small businesses in the city, and they make up almost every shop, salon, and taco spot you love. But here's the problem: most of them are losing money every day because their website is weak — or they don't have one at all.
of small businesses already have a website — but most don't bring in real sales
of people who search "near me" on their phone visit a store within one day
of all Google searches are looking for a local business
Think about that. Almost half of every Google search is someone looking for a local shop. Three out of four "near me" searches turn into a real visit. If your website is slow, broken, or hard to find, you are leaving cash on the table every single day.

A good website is not just a digital business card. It is your hardest-working employee. It works at 3 a.m. It never calls in sick. And when it is built right, it makes you money.
Small businesses with strong websites grow about twice as fast as those without one
of local searches end with a purchase the same day
of people judge a business's trust based on how its website looks
That last one is huge. Three out of four customers decide if they trust you in the first few seconds on your site. If your page looks old or loads slow, you lose them — even if your product is the best in town.

A lot of agencies build websites that look nice but don't sell. We do the opposite. Every site we build is a money-making machine first, and pretty second (don't worry — they're still pretty).
Every page is designed to turn a visitor into a paying customer. Clear calls to action, fast checkout, and zero confusion.
If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, more than half your visitors leave. Ours load in under 2.
We know your customers. We live here too. Every site is tuned for local search — so people in your zip code actually find you.
Helios is for the LA business owner who is too busy running the shop to fight with WordPress. We work best with:
And any other small business that wants more customers walking in the door.
If you have a great service and need more people to find you online — we are built for you.
The sun rises every day in LA. So should your sales.
