Castle Rock Built.
For people who actually
run a business.

Why we built this.

Small business owners deserve real websites. Not Squarespace templates, not $30k agency quotes, and not endless revision cycles that never ship.

We started 72 Hour Web Design because we kept hearing the same story. The plumber whose nephew built him a site three years ago and won't return calls. The dental office paying $400 a month for a site that hasn't been touched since 2019. The HVAC company being charged 90 days and $15k for a 12-page brochure.

So we built this. Flat-priced Marketing Plans with the website included free. Honest delivery windows. No surprise invoices. A framework refined across hundreds of small business builds. You hire us because we already know what works for your industry — not because we'll redesign your homepage twelve times based on what your cousin said over Thanksgiving.

How we work.

Pick a Marketing Plan. Add what you need (extra ad spend, custom integrations). We start the moment we have your content. Two rounds of revisions, one polish pass, then you're live.

If you want a custom enterprise build with bespoke integrations and a six-figure budget, that's not us. Call any of the larger agencies in Denver and we'll happily refer you. We're built for speed, repeatable quality, and small-business budgets.

If you want to talk before buying, call (303) 625-6300 or hit the contact form. We'll schedule fifteen minutes, look at your situation, and tell you straight whether one of our plans fits or you should go a different direction.

We're not a fly-by-night company.

You've probably been burned by an agency before. Most small business owners have. Some guy on Fiverr, a "marketing consultant" who vanishes after the deposit, an offshore shop that takes 90 days to push a logo change.

Here's what's different about us:

• Real address. Located inside Thrive at 610 Jerry Street, Suite 200, Castle Rock, Colorado 80104. Walk in. Knock on the door. The lights will be on and somebody who works on your site will be sitting at one of the desks.
• Real phone. (303) 625-6300 rings to a human during business hours. No call center in Manila.
• Real founder. Sean Hakes signs every proposal, every invoice, every approval. No nameless account executive you'll never speak to twice.
• 100% Made in the USA. No offshore contractors writing your copy or building your code. Every keystroke happens in the United States, most of it in our Castle Rock office.
• Parent company since 2010. Sympler has been doing marketing for small businesses for over a decade. 72HWD is the new productized arm of an old, established shop.
• Transparent terms. Marketing Plans are a 12-month commitment, then month-to-month with 30 days notice. No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch. The terms are in the MSA before you sign anything.

If something goes wrong with your site, you'll know the person fixing it. If you need to escalate, you can call Sean directly. That's how it should work.
