Need a Small Business Website?

I specialize in designing and  creating websites for small businesses using my skills with graphic and web design software.  I’ve been creating web pages with various graphic and web design software since 1995.  Currently I design and create using WordPress, the most commonly used web creation software in the world.  Your hosting site must allow creation/uploading with WordPress.

I believe that small businesses need an internet presence in order to compete within an ever growing computer literate marketplace.  And that presence needs to provide for proper inclusion in web search engines and directories so that customers will be able to find each small business and learn the offerings available from them. Small business can greatly increase their reach to customers with a professional website and social media presence.

If you would like to promote your small business online with your own professional business website, contact me. Following is information on my website design packages:

All websites are created using WordPress creation software and include search engine optimization (SEO) and are responsive (created to provide acceptable viewing on mobile devices like phones and tablets, not just desktops).

Doman registration and hosting fees are not included in my regular web site packages.  With my help, you can select and purchase website hosting and acquire domain registration.  All text content is provided by you – although I will make some suggestions and perhaps show you what similar businesses do.

*monthly maintenance plans are available
