I work with small businesses to design websites that convert their viewers into customers and clients. With a very modern feel, and a strong focus on ease-of-use, they showcase your business and get customers in the door. Using WordPress as the backbone of my designs, your site is very customizable and scalable to meet the growing needs of your business.
Website design work is rarely ever just a "set it and forget it" job. Once completed, there are many tasks needed to ensure your website remains reachable, healthy, and secure. My website maintenance packages allow you to focus on your business, not on weekly and monthly website tasks like updates and backups. They are priced to be affordable and include minor changes and updates to page content throughout the year.
With 40,000 searches happening every second, Google receives 3.5 billion worldwide searches a day. Your presence on the most widely used search engine is crucial! I'll not only help you get a verified listing and rank you with your competition, but assist you in maintaining a strong search engine presence. Basic SEO is included with every site design I complete, but more tailored optimization and ranking is available with a monthly contract.
You are one of 25 million active Facebook users in Canada, and 74% of these individuals are considered to be high-income. An outdated, rarely updated, or non-existent presence on relevant social media channels could be crippling to your business. We'll work together to kickstart your company's social presence and get your audience engaging with your content.
That's totally fine! I've come to find that many small businesses don't know what they need. They know that should take a leap forward digitally, or that their competition is doing X, but they don't know how to get there. When we chat, we will go over some of the key services that I provide and look at the areas you'd like to begin engaging in. Then I'll make some suggestions for where I see you being able to stretch your dollars in having me on your team.
I do not currently offer branding or logo design services. That is something I would like to offer in the future, but not currently under the scope of services I can provide to you.
Like the question about branding above, there are likely some services that I am unable to provide you. In these instances, I will help you network out so that you can acquire the right people for those jobs. I'll always send you along to people and companies that I trust so that you receive the absolute best for your business.
Yes, if that is an area of my services that we agree would be of great benefit to your business. I engage from a holistic approach and focus on the tasks and services your business needs most. If you feel like you've got this social media gig down, that's fine too! I'm flexible, and can provide anything from minor tweaks and changes, to teaching you how to engage online with your audience, and managing it all for you if you just don't have the time.
The beauty of this line of work is that I can engage with my clients basically anywhere that I have my laptop and an internet connection. Much of my work is done from my office at home, but there are also things that are far easier if done in-person. Local clients will have the benefit of greater in-person availability, but I am more than happy to work via Zoom, TeamViewer, and instant messaging whenever needed.
Price isn't ever pre-determined before meeting my clients. You (hopefully) have some budget defined for web design & marketing and I work hard to fit my services into that budget. Sometimes that means we get everything you're looking for. Sometimes it means we look a bit more in-depth at where your dollars are going to be best spent in utilizing me on your team. Price will be discussed with you personally when we chat.
Of course (unless this sort of design compliments your business). When designing, I take many factors into account like: your professionally-developed brand guidelines (if you have them), your target audience, the vision and 'style' of your business, what content you want reflected online, the goals of your digital presence, and more. You can check out my portfolio to see some of the other work I have done for my clients.
If I am designing a website for you, be it a new site or updating your old one, the content that goes on the site is important. Quality content can convert visitors into customers, and poor content can drive them away. The copy (text that you see on the pages) is arguably one of the most crucial aspects of a website build. I'll work with you to understand your business, get foundational content from you (images and text) and then work to turn this content into copy that converts.
The beast that is Google is a very complex being. It exists primarily with AI, algorithms, and not a lot of human interaction. As such, it takes lots of time and effort to climb this search engine's index ladder. Everyone who understands SEO is fighting for top placement for relevant keywords. They want to show up first when someone searches for their business. The challenge is that it takes time, dedication, and an understanding of what Google likes to see to get you there. I've ranked a few businesses now in premium placements on Google for top keywords in their industry and would love to work with you to do the same.
