Our story
Bright Automations was born from a friendship forged at Pennsylvania State University. As students pursuing technology and business, Jared and Andrew shared one vision: make a professional web presence accessible to every business owner.
Too many businesses (plumbers, roofers, lawyers, you name it) were losing jobs because they didn't have a decent website. Or they were paying $3,000+ for one. We knew we could do it better: professional sites, built fast, at a price that actually makes sense.
A website alone doesn't make the phone ring, so we never hand one over and disappear. Every plan includes hosting, connecting your site to your Google Business Profile, monthly AI and SEO updates and a performance report every month. For businesses ready for more, the Client Command Center answers every new lead in seconds.
We built our own software to design a custom preview for a business before they pay anything. It has produced more than 1,000,000 website previews for local businesses in all 50 states. More than 2,000 custom websites have been built for individual businesses.
