WordPress: Built for your small business
When it comes to building a professional, functional, and easy-to-manage website, WordPress is perfect for small business owners and managers – even non-techy folks. WordPress powers more than 40 percent of the web for a reason: it’s user-friendly, flexible, and endlessly customizable.
But don’t worry—”customizable” doesn’t mean overwhelming. I’ll handle the web design and technical side while you focus on your business. You’ll get a website that looks and works exactly the way you need it to, without unnecessary fluff.
Made-to-order web design
An economical website doesn’t mean you have to settle for an off-the-shelf template. Your website will be built just for you, tailored to reflect your brand, your goals, and your audience.
Decades of web development and copywriting at your service
I’ve been working with PHP and MySQL since 2000, which means I deeply understand the framework behind WordPress. Need custom tweaks or features? No problem. I’ve got the skills to make your site do exactly what you need it to. And I started my career as a copywriter with a degree in journalism. That means I can help you craft compelling, SEO-friendly copy (or content)—whether you have a few rough ideas or need me to write it from scratch.Get found on Google (SEO)
A great website won’t do much for you if it can’t be found. I have a solid understanding of, and years of real-world experience with, SEO (or search engine optimization). We’ll build your site so it is well-positioned to rank for the searches your customers are doing. Your essential website includes important fundamentals that get neglected far too often by web developers: targeted “title tags”, strategic and properly tagged subheads, an XML sitemap, Yoast SEO plugin, and integration with Google Analytics.
And because I understand WordPress categories and structure, I can organize your content in a way that not only makes sense to your visitors but also boosts your search visibility.
A mobile-friendly website (and then some)
Every site I build works seamlessly on mobile devices. But we’ll take it a step further and fine-tune your site for smaller screens by hiding unnecessary elements and rearranging layouts to ensure your visitors’ mobile experiences are smooth and engaging.
Powerful features, easy management
Need forms for contact, bookings, or surveys? We can build those too, making it easy for your visitors to connect and engage with you.
