Focusing on small business websites
There was a time when small businesses could build their own websites and gain a fair share of a local market. However, the level of sophistication required for a site to rank on the first page of Google and other search engines is much greater now. You want customers to call you because of your website, not despite it!
Small business owners can certainly gain the necessary skills to maintain an online presence. Still, it takes something that most don’t have–more time.
It takes time to learn and hone web development skills. There’s also search engine optimation (SEO) to consider and local listings like Google My Business.
When we build a website, here is what we offer you as our client.
Custom-built responsive website
Your business is unique and brings something special to the marketplace. You deserve more than a generic website or a theme with minimal changes. We also want your website to look good, whether viewed on a computer, a tablet, or a phone.
Search engine friendly
We focus on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) while building your site. It isn’t an after-thought or an add-on service.
Fast Load Times
A fast-loading website is now a crucial part of search engine optimization. We build lightweight websites that load quickly, making it easier to rank on search engines’ first page.
Minimal Plug-Ins
WordPress plug-ins may make developing a website easier but can cause problems later. We strive to use minimal plug-ins from reputable developers.
Easy Content Management
One purpose of building a WordPress website is to provide you, the client, with a content management system (CMS) that is easy to use. We provide ongoing maintenance packages but also train you to upload pages and posts.
Ready to get started? Here’s our project process…
Discovery Call
Let’s get together and discuss your project. Do you have a website now, or will we starting from scratch? We discuss what you have and what you need. After this call, we develop a plan for the new site.
Web Design
We design your pages as discussed during the discovery phase. We create your website’s look and feel, including the basic theme, special design elements, color palettes, and typestyles.
Site Development
During development, we build the site based on the agreed design. This phase of development includes building page layouts, adding your content, and structuring SEO information.
Maintenance
We teach you to add pages and manage posts, but we all have maintenance packages available that free you from concerns about WordPress and plug-in updates, website security, and backups.
