About

Built for
This Market.

Frahm.agency is a deliberate, boutique studio rooted in Volusia County — where every pixel earns its place and every client gets our full attention.

Brian Frahm — U.S. Coast Guard veteran, founder of Frahm.agency

After retiring from 22 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, Brian Frahm started this studio with a simple belief: local business owners in Volusia County deserve a real partner — someone who shows up, listens, and builds something that genuinely works for their business. So he opened shop right here in Ormond Beach.

We work with small businesses across the Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, and New Smyrna Beach area who need more than a pretty brochure site — they need something that converts, takes bookings, processes payments, and actually reflects who they are.

Our sharpest focus right now: helping local vacation rental owners, charter captains, and Volusia County restaurants stop paying platform fees they don't have to. We build the tool. You keep the money.

Real Clients. Real Words.
I came to Brian with three brands and a big idea. He built out the whole thing — Nautilus Fitness NSB, Forever Health and Wellness and a telehealth page — and made it all feel like one connected business. Most agencies would've made that a nightmare.

FAQ

Common
Questions.

Straight answers. No sales-speak.

How much does a direct booking website cost for a vacation rental?
Most owners recoup the project cost within their first two to three direct bookings — because every direct booking saves you Airbnb’s 18% combined fees. Pricing is scoped on the discovery call based on property count, integrations, and timeline.
Can I replace Airbnb or VRBO with my own website?
Yes. We build direct booking platforms with full payment processing through Stripe, calendar sync via iCal, and automated guest confirmation emails — everything Airbnb provides, without their 18% combined fee.
How long does it take to build a booking website?
Most booking sites are live within 2–4 weeks depending on scope and how quickly we receive your content and property details. Custom web applications typically take 4–8 weeks.
Do you use website templates?
No. Every site we build is custom-coded from scratch using Next.js and React. We don’t use WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix — because your business isn’t a template.
What payment processor do you use?
We integrate Stripe for all payment processing. Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction — a fraction of what Airbnb or Eventbrite charge.
Do you work with clients outside Volusia County?
Our primary focus is Volusia County — Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, and New Smyrna Beach — but we work remotely with clients anywhere in Florida and beyond when the project is a strong fit.
Can you replace OpenTable for a restaurant?
Yes. We build custom reservation systems that eliminate OpenTable’s per-cover fees. You get party size management, confirmation emails, and a design that matches your brand — all without paying $1+ every time someone books a table.
