No longer accepting new clients!

Creating websites that distinguish your business in the marketplace

Your website compliments your social media and other marketing strategies with STAYING POWER!

Let’s combine forces to create a stylish, direct to the point  website that connects you to your BEST customer.  After spending years in business planning, I can help you look at your business and identify your unique selling points.  A beautiful website helps my clients gain confidence which translates into better business.

Imagine meeting a potential customer in person. You make a great impression. Then they do their online research. Will you come up short and make a poor impression? Or will you convince them that yes,  you do stand out and they want to continue with you in business.

Do you need help with content?

Probably the toughest part of the website is the copy. 

N

HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IMAGES?

Professional images are best. But if you can’t afford them there are free and low cost options. Also have great tips for DIY options!

CONFUSED ABOUT THE WHOLE WEBSITE PROCESS?

It’s confusing! There’s the hosting, domain or URL, security, and then the actual website itself. My goal is to make it easy for you to understand. Including no surprise costs through the process.

You have seconds to make an impression.

People scroll in their research on websites. So what does that mean to you? Few words. More white space. Easy reading. Beautiful layout. Encouraging the reader to take the next step to become a great customer!

What do you have planned for 2023?

With any marketing, I believe you need to plan for the future. Doesn’t come naturally for most of us! Use tools and develop processes to get the most out of the year ahead. We are here to help with that too!

Success in marketing comes from repetition and persistance with a smart approach. Staying on track, keeping motivated and surrounding yourself with good people who help you succeed. It’s been a tough few years but let’s do this in 2023!

The process to get started

This is where you outline your services, tell people how they can work with you and what they should expect from your journey together.

 

1. Finding the right fit

Let’s talk! (in person, phone, Zoom) Lots of ways work. What size website are you interested in? What kind of business are you in? (I primarily do service businesses – but could do a simple retail, boutiques like website) What’s your budget? (If that is your first question, we probably aren’t the right fit.)

2. What stage are you currently at?

Do you have written copy and images to use? How long have you been in business? Are you familiar with competitors? Do you know your unique selling point? Do you have inspirational websites that you currently like?

3. How much time do you have to devote to developing a website?

Do you have a team of a graphic designer, copywriter, photographer, or IT person to help you out?  Have you had challenges with past experiences creating your website? 

4. What is the purpose of your website?

Do you see it starting small (2-4 pages) and growing as you grow? Do you want it to have a creative look to the site? I specialize in detailed but small websites that can be searched and found online. Besides small business, I enjoy working with creatives, bloggers, non-profits and event organizers.

I wanted a clean, modern, professional website for my business that looks great on all devices.  I also wanted it to be personal, and to clearly explain all of the bookkeeping services my company has to offer.  Nancy created a professional, attractive, and effective website for BAK Bookkeeping, that not only met my expectations but exceeded them!

From the blog

Where is the line for Republican politicians?

An open letter to Republican leaders who are elected officials and those seeking office.

When is enough? Is there a line in the sand that Trump will lose your support? Sending military into our largest cities? Is this for the process of taking over this country to prepare for no more elections? Do you want to persuade people that cities are dangerous? Ruin the businesses that are thriving there?

Looks like that to me. Redecorating the White House to mirror “Mara Lago” and ignoring traditions? It is not the President’s House; it is the People’s House.

A very easy question. Where is the line because it continues to be pushed? Kidnapping people off the streets, run down on fields where they are working, women and children crying as they are the ones taken. Not criminals but willing to do work that is hard to find in this country. Talented and strong in what they do.

Where is the line? Tell me, what can happen where you finally say enough is enough. Do you want civil war? Are we at a place where people have decisions to make with who I will hide from an oppressive government? Will I have the courage to do what is right deep in my soul? Is this where we are going?

I am probably in a safe space. White, Anglo-Saxon, protestants are likely with me safe as are my children and grandchildren. But who really knows. If a group can come after one group, who is to say that things may flip.

What I know for sure. We are all connected. When some hurt, eventually others will hurt. God loves diversity. You only need to observe nature to know that. And every one of us is a beloved child of God. We are all equal in the eyes of God. Someday we will understand more why there is different suffering in this fallen world.

So back to my original question. In rooms of dedicated Republicans, is there a line in the sand where you say stop? There have been so many opportunities to turn the Republican party around and at every decision, they say no. The party of law and order has become the party leading us all away from a democratic form of government.

I’m hoping there is a line but have been questioning that lately.
