St Louis Web Services
St Louis Managed Hosting & Digital Growth for Businesses that mean it.
Who You’re Working With
Senior people.
Hands-on work.
Shortcut Solutions is owned and operated by Mike Hammock and his long-time partner and software developer, Josh Grebe. We’re hands-on web services and accessibility specialists serving businesses across the St. Louis and St. Charles metro, with select clients elsewhere in Missouri.
We work with talented content managers, branding and visual marketers, and serious business advisor groups in the area to achieve real results.
“Our work is not generic ‘marketing management.’ We focus on the parts of your digital stack that actually move the needle: hosting, performance, SEO/GEO, accessibility, and the structure of your site.”
You work directly with the people doing the work — not an account layer. We explain timelines, tradeoffs, and constraints in plain language, and we’ll push back when something will hurt performance, security, or long-term maintainability.

Whats in our wheelhouse
We excel at finding what’s actually holding you back.
SO our strongest value is not “set it and forget it” cheap web hosting or broad and fuzzy marketing efforts. We diagnose the weak points, tighten up the site structure, improve technical performance, refine your search visibility, and align traffic sources with real business goals.
We’re a strong fit for what you need.
✔ Better-performing, more reliable websites
✔ Smarter SEO and on-page structure
✔ Cleaner PPC oversight and maintenance
✔ Better lead quality and conversion flow
✔ Technical planning before development starts
✔ Real accessibility work at the code and content level
If you see your website as infrastructure and not just a brochure — this is where we do our best work.
Fully managed web hosting for businesses
Our fully managed hosting is built for companies that care about reliability, security, and speed—not bargain-bin shared space.
We handle the technical upkeep: updates, backups, optimization, security hardening, and CMS support, plus the server planning and performance tuning behind it.
We work on annual commitments so we can control the environment properly and keep your site fast and stable.
If you’re just shopping for the cheapest hosting or want to keep everything on a low-end shared account, we’re not the right fit.
You get one accountable team that can both host the site and fix the problems that slow it down or break it.
SEO, GEO, and AIO visibility
We help businesses improve search visibility through ethical, long-term SEO and GEO strategies that are tied to real business outcomes.
That typically includes on-page and technical SEO, content structure, and local signals like Google Business Profiles, maps coverage, and consistent NAP listings.
We also think ahead to AIO (AI-driven search) by structuring content so modern search and AI systems can understand who you are, what you do, and where you operate. We don’t promise rankings before we understand your goals, margins, and lead model, and we’re clear that meaningful SEO gains take real time and consistent work.
ADA / WCAG accessibility services
We consider ourselves accessibility specialists.
Our accessibility work is built around manual audits, real remediation, and ongoing protection—not quick overlays or “one-line-of-code” widgets.
We focus on WCAG 2.1 work, technical fixes, and documented best-effort compliance to reduce legal risk while making your site actually usable for people who rely on assistive technologies.
We treat accessibility as serious technical and business risk management, not a gimmick, and when clients allow us to give our best effort, we help them avoid expensive problems and serve more users correctly.
Web design for St. Louis businesses
We design and rebuild websites to be fast, clean, and easy to use on any device, with a “mobile first” approach that starts from the smallest screens and works up.
Design decisions are driven by your brand, your customers, and your conversion paths—not just themes or trends.
We often combine redesign work with performance, SEO, and accessibility improvements so the site is not only better-looking, but better-behaving.
What we won’t do
To be equally clear, there are limits to what we’ll take on unless the scope is right:
-
- We don’t manage PPC engagements under 3 hours per month. That level of budget doesn’t justify the time and attention needed to move the needle.
- We don’t promise outcomes before we understand your business model, margins, and how you convert leads.
- We don’t treat web or app development as a quick execution task. Planning, research, architecture, and deployment preparation are billable and required to do the work correctly.
- We’re not interested in low-commitment arrangements that demand high oversight but don’t support the real investment of time required to improve performance.
If you want a vendor to “just run some ads” or “just host it somewhere cheap,” there are plenty of those types you can find on the fiverr-and-dime. But if you want a compact, senior team that takes your infrastructure seriously, that’s us.
How we work with you
We’re straightforward about what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s worth fixing first so you’re not throwing money at the wrong problems.
We explain timelines, tradeoffs, and constraints in plain language, and we’ll push back when something will hurt performance, security, or long-term maintainability.
You work directly with the people doing the work, not an account layer.
Ready to talk?
If you’re a St. Louis–area business that needs a fully managed, trustworthy web partner instead of another rotating vendor, let’s talk. If you are in the midwest or farther out we can still work with you to achieve your goals but we won’t be able to do it together over a cup of coffee!
We’ll start by understanding your business, your constraints, and where your website is falling short, then we’ll tell you candidly whether we’re the right fit and what it will take to fix it.
