About
Web design, branding, and marketing — with 25 years in IT behind it.
Piedmont IT Advisors is a web design, branding, and marketing studio in Rock Hill, South Carolina. We build fixed-price websites and run month-to-month marketing for independent businesses across Charlotte, Rock Hill, and Fort Mill.
Why this studio exists
Most independent businesses don’t need a bigger agency, and they don’t need another open-ended project. They need a website that loads fast, says plainly what they do, and turns visitors into calls — at a price they saw in writing before anyone started work.
Piedmont IT Advisors exists to be that option: a small studio with fixed prices, short timelines, and one person accountable for the result.
What the studio does
Websites
Fixed-price builds that launch in 2–3 weeks. Launch is $1,500 (or $399 down + 11 × $199/mo); Growth is $2,900 (or $599 down + 11 × $299/mo); custom sites are a fixed quote, typically starting at $3,500.
See pricing →Branding
Brand Identity is $950 flat: a logo suite, color palette, and type pairing, delivered with a one-page brand sheet — so your site, listings, and posts all look like the same business.
See the work →Marketing
Month-to-month, no long contract. Visibility is $399/mo and Growth is $799/mo: your Google profile, listings, and posts, with a monthly report in plain numbers. Marketing runs on a site we built — or after a Diagnostic of the one you have.

A written review of your website and online listings: what is costing you calls, and what to fix first. The $350 is credited toward a build booked within 60 days.

The founder
I’m Rhett Finklea. I’ve spent over 25 years in IT, deep across the Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace stacks, and I started Piedmont IT Advisors in Rock Hill in 2026.
The short version of why: I kept watching independent businesses get quoted vague, open-ended website and marketing projects. So this studio works the other way — fixed prices in writing, short timelines, and my name on the result.
I also built the crew that helps me deliver it: a small team of AI agents I designed, working under my direction. They draft, build, and research — and I review everything before a client sees it. It’s how a one-person studio delivers like a much bigger one.
