My aim is to provide retailers, restaurants, bands or local businesses with a very clean and consistent online image that drives customers to purchase your products, listen to your demo or come into your store.
Prices quoted on the main page are for reference and may not reflect the total cost of third party services, domain name fees, plugins or email provider fees. Each project will be considered on a case by case basis with the goal of building a website under your assigned budget with tools you can use and minimal monthly/yearly fees.
For businesses, retail stores or restaurants with a limited online presence, I would recommend a custom website that showcases your products, with seasonal or monthly updates. A nice looking website helps complete your "Google My Business" profile. After making a nice looking profile, I can do some basic SEO work and ad campaigns with Google. With a well polished digital image you are much more likely to draw in customers with smartphones who are googling terms like "food near me", "tattoos near me", "accountant near me" etc...
If you are interested in setting up delivery for your restaurant, I am more than happy to set up your account and manage your menu for any of the popular delivery services available in your area.
If you have products that are easily shippable, I can help you setup a shipping and payment platform to bring your products to a national audience. If you want to unify your business with a point of sale system that connects to your online platform, I can do that too! Learn more by clicking on the eCommerce tab above, or fill out a free consultation and I will contact you with more information.
My focus is delivering a high quality service without hidden monthly costs or expensive updates. I am happy to build your drag and drop site and manage it for you, but I prefer to build a custom website with plugins that we hand pick and add to your site to lower costs. Drag and drop site builders tend to have 3rd party apps or plugins that cost monthly for each little feature you want to add even after the monthly fees the builder charges. The solutions I come up with generally require more setup or even a bit of coding, but they come at a much lower cost (sometimes free) than drag and drop site builders.
My first project had a high difficulty level due to the high-risk category the business is placed in by credit and debit card insurers. Hemp/CBD is listed alongside products such as nutraceutical, adult subscription services or toys, tobacco and kratom. If you sell handmade products, apparel, artwork, sporting goods, band merch or other low risk items it will be very simple to setup a store with a payment processor and shipping platform that automates most of your work. I am still willing to work with other high-risk products and services, but it may take more time to gain approval and my services for high-risk sites will be higher.
Are you a band on a budget? Looking to sell merch without paying upfront for a bunch of stuff that might not sell? I have a few low-cost solutions for bands I am happy to share for free, or if you have a small budget I can build you something basic and awesome! I won't post my price for a band website here, but you will get a great deal from a fellow musician.
I am happy to help the right non-profit or charitable causes by donating my time and knowledge. I may not be able to provide a free solution in all cases, but I can make the lowest cost website possible for organizations that are in need of a professional looking website or social media presence.
Getting good rankings on search engines is about creating quality content that is relevant to the end user, and getting that content indexed by the major search engines. The more clicks you get for a given search term that results in a conversion, the more likely Google will up your ranking. Connecting and using the available Google tools like Google My Business, Search Console, Analytics and Ads is the best way to get ranked quickly and start getting conversions that translate to sales or foot traffic to your business.
With the Google suite of tools I can set a monthly budget for ads, setup reporting and track progress as Google optimizes your search terms to connect potential customers with your business.
A good online marketing plan should drive customers to your brick and mortar or online store, generate reviews and continue to create more interest in your business. There is a variety of ways to go about this including samples, promotions, social media influencers and purchased ad space to get your name out there to be reviewed. It is up to you to provide excellent customer service and a great product to get those awesome reviews. Once you are reviewed, customers will be much more likely to stop in for the first time and those who were provided samples or promotions will likely return for repeat business.
Google Analytics offers flexible reporting and live feeds of your website as customers visit and click through pages. We can see demographics, behavior and how customers flow through your website to optimize it's effectiveness. If you are making online sales or a POS that can be tracked by customer name, we can track the rate of ad spend or organic searches into sales conversions.
I've created the backgrounds, logos and designs for nearly all the content on this site and My Works referenced on the main page. I have written training guides, employee handbooks, technical manuals and I also write poetry and songs in my freetime. My interest in writing and reading ranges from technical and legal knowledge to science fiction and humor. If you don't have a vision for your site, your brand or your ad campaign, let me come up with some ideas for you!
I can vectorize the logos I create, but I am not a graphic designer by trade. I will make the highest quality logos I can but might be unable to animate or render complex logos. I was able to make the logo you see at the top left of my site in less than an hour and I can resize it to match any style I need. What I can provide will be a simple and effective logo that can overlay on a site with a transparent background. I can easily work with any logos you currently have and resize or recreate them as needed.
I have a few professional photographers that I can work with to take photos of your products, your storefront or anything else you might like to add to your website for a personal touch.
