Small Business Websites

Small businesses are my focus, but “small” can mean different things. I work with solo business owners, small teams, nonprofits, camps, law firms, contractors, and other organizations that want a website built around their needs and goals.

I have worked with clients all over the world. As long as you have an internet connection, we can work together.

Without trying to be cute, the real answer to this question is that a website shouldn't "cost" you a cent. Your website should generate revenue through sales and/or leads. So, your website is an investment that should have an R.O.I. 

If you want to know how much you will need to invest, use my website estimating tool.

Most small business websites take around 6-8 weeks to complete. The timeline depends on the size of the site, the features involved, and how quickly content and feedback are provided. I'll give you a clearer timeline before the project begins. My one-page website option can take far less time to complete. One-pagers are great if you need something up quickly.

Yes, I host all of my client sites. After your website is built, everything will be taken care of for you. Ongoing website management can be tailored for your specific needs, or you can purchase one of my existing care plans. This will allow you to focus on running your business while I look after your website.

Messaging and website structure are both important parts of the process. I'll help organize your content, clarify what needs to be communicated, and make sure the website speaks clearly to the people you're trying to reach. I'll also help with headlines and subheadings and make suggestions along the way. Full copywriting is available as an additional service when included as part of the project.

SEO isn't something I bolt on at the end. It's considered from the beginning. I conduct keyword research early in the process to help inform the website structure and content direction. Page titles and meta descriptions are carefully crafted, and I use SEOPress to manage the technical on-page optimization within WordPress.

Ongoing SEO and content creation are available as separate services. If your business doesn't already have a Google Business Profile, setup can also be added to your website project.

Yes. Many of the websites I build replace older sites that no longer represent the business well or aren't doing a good job of communicating with customers. I'll look at what you have, what should be kept, and what needs to change.

I offer ongoing WordPress website management (care plans) that include hosting, updates, security, backups, monitoring, and support. You don't have to figure out how to maintain the website on your own.

Yes. Your website is built in WordPress, and you can make updates yourself if you'd like. Many of my clients prefer to send changes to me, but you're not locked out of your own website.

Yes, I'm well-versed in using the Beaver Builder page builder. I've done many conversions from older page builders to Beaver Themer and Beaver Builder. I also own a Beaver Builder developer's license, so you would not have to pay for a license of your own if you use one of my hosting care plans.
