Self Empowerment Approach:
It’s Your Site, Don’t Depend on Someone Else With Your Brand!
I teach, mentor and empower my clients to manage some or all of their websites. At minimum, I suggest that they now how to log on and change or update the content, create a blog post, and a few other rudimentary tasks. Many will quickly learn and take on more responsibility for their sites. This approach save cost, expedites content delivery, and provides greater control of the website and pubic image of the business.
I am also available to assist or complete any tasks that are beyond the skillset, time constraints, or general desire of the client. This approach has been very successful for the small businesses I have worked with.
Web Design, Graphic Design and Online Presence
When it comes to web design for small businesses, having a great website isn’t a “nice to have” it’s a “need to have.” In just one click, your website forms an immediate and lasting impression with current and potential customers and can ultimately impact whether they’ll make a purchasing decision. I help you manage every aspect of the creative and technical process to help bring your vision and your website to life.

The Tools for a Great Website
WordPress is the engine that drives about 35% of all websites. It is free, has a long running history and has a ton of options. The website builders like Weebly, SquareSpace, Wix and others are ok, but limited. They are not as straightforward as they advertise. I don’t work with those site builder. I stick with the most popular and robust option, WordPress.
Elementor is a plugin that extends the basic WordPress functionality and offers unlimited design possibilities. Elementor allows you to design and build the. site exactly as you dream of, and not be limited to pre-packaged themes.
Hosting, SSL, Domains, Email and more: GoDaddy is the 800 pound gorilla. They offer a wide array of online products and services. Great Things LLC is an authorized reseller for GoDaddy Products.

Search Engine Optimization - SEO
A website is useless unless your customers can find it. Be sure your site is properly structured, accessible and search engine friendly. Through Google tools, GoDaddy products and a YOAST SEO plugin, your site will be optimized for performance and visibility.
A Great Website is only one piece of the puzzle.
Having a great website without a solid marketing strategy is like having a car with flat tires. Yes it will work, but it won’t get you where you need to be very quickly.
Make sure your marketing approach includes newsletters, videos, blogs, social media, business events, print and other appropriate channels.
Social Media, Blogging and Content Creation
Let’s face it, most business owners don’t enjoy creating content, updating social media or other needed marketing efforts. Be smart and outsource this critical function. There are several options to choose from.
Image Optimization
This is a big issue that most businesses are not even aware of. Improperly sized or server-scaled images can have significant negative affect on your site’s search placement. Don’t let this hurt your search results.
