Ship Bottom is where the island begins. Every car crossing the Causeway lands here, passes under the arch, and makes its first decisions of the trip — where to grab coffee, pick up groceries, rent the bikes, get the surf report. We help Ship Bottom businesses on Long Beach Island get discovered by visitors and locals alike, because being first geographically means nothing if you're not first in the search results. That's a position no other LBI town has, and it's worth defending online.
The catch is that most of that traffic is deciding while moving. They're in the car, they're unpacking, they're figuring out the week. Those are fast, impatient, phone-sized searches, and they go to whoever shows up cleanly and answers immediately. We build Ship Bottom sites that load instantly, make the essentials — hours, location, phone, booking — impossible to miss, and turn the island's highest-volume traffic into actual customers.
Local to Ship Bottom. We build for the businesses at LBI's front door — the shops and services along Long Beach Boulevard and 9th Street, the traffic pouring off the Causeway, and the arch that welcomes every visitor to the island.
Ship Bottom has a structural advantage nowhere else on LBI can claim: everyone comes through here. The Causeway lands on 9th Street, and from there the whole island fans out. That means an enormous volume of people who are new to the week, don't yet have a routine, and are actively looking for the first place to stop. If your site is slow, dated, or missing hours, you hand that customer to whoever loads faster — and once a visitor settles into a habit somewhere else, you've lost them for the rest of the week.
CJResults builds custom website design for Ship Bottom businesses that converts that arrival traffic. Fast on a phone with one bar of signal, clear enough to read in a moving car's passenger seat, and structured so the next step — call, directions, order, book — is always obvious. We're based in Manahawkin, right over the Causeway, so we know exactly what that first-stop traffic looks like.
Ship Bottom's business mix is the practical stuff every visitor needs on day one: coffee and breakfast, groceries and provisions, surf and bike rentals, hardware, liquor, real estate offices, and the year-round services that keep the island running through winter. Every one of those has a different critical moment. For food, it's hours and a menu. For rentals, it's availability and a booking form. For real estate and services, it's credibility and a fast way to get in touch. We build the site around the one action that actually matters to your customer.
Then we keep it running so you don't have to. Hosting, security and software updates, automatic backups, content updates, and ongoing SEO monitoring are all included, with support inside one business day — which matters in a town where an hours change or a weather closure needs to go live now, not next week. Need visuals? Our content and drone photography services can capture the Causeway approach and the island from above.
Ship Bottom serves two completely different customers, and a lot of local sites only ever speak to one. There's the vacationer searching 'near me' the second they get off the bridge, and there's the LBI year-rounder who needs a plumber in February. Those searches want different pages, different language, and different proof. We build both into the site so you're not surrendering the off-season to catch the summer, or the reverse. Our guide to local SEO for Ocean County businesses walks through the fundamentals.
We also build across the island so you show up wherever a search starts — from Long Beach Island as a whole to Surf City just north of you and Manahawkin on the mainland side of the bridge. If you want to talk through what that looks like for your business, reach out and we'll take a look together.
We study your business, your local competitors, and how customers search in your area.

Most builds land between about $799 for a simple, clean site and $3,999 for a larger custom project with things like a rental booking flow or an online store. Optional management and hosting runs $99/month. We quote exactly after a short call — you'll know the number before you commit to anything.
Most sites launch in about two weeks once we have your content and photos. If you have a season opener, a new location, or a rental season to hit, tell us the date up front and we build the schedule backwards from it.
It helps the most, actually. Passing traffic is the definition of an unplanned search — they haven't picked anyone yet, they're on a phone, and they'll take the first result that clearly answers them. Being the first town on the island only pays if you're also the first result they see.
Yes — bike and surf rentals, coffee and breakfast spots, provisions and liquor, real estate, and the contractors and trades that keep the island running in the off-season. Each gets a build shaped around how its customer actually searches, whether that's a July vacationer or a January homeowner.
That's exactly the search we optimize for. It means a properly aligned Google Business Profile, pages built around real 'near me' intent, and a site fast enough to load on island cell service. SEO compounds over time, but the site is the foundation the rest of it sits on.
We're in Manahawkin, right over the Causeway — about ten minutes from the arch. You get a designer who's actually in Ship Bottom regularly and easy to get on the phone, not an out-of-state shop reading about it.
