Do you have a lazy website?
Put it to Work!

Is your website working for you or sleeping on the job?
While “lazy websites” generally refer to the load time, here a lazy website doesn’t do anything for your business. A website should generate interest in your service, create sales, facilitate communication, and establish your expertise.
(Hot tip: You must write about your work!)
The Role of Your Website
A 24/7 Sales Force
If your website is little more than a business card, it’s sleeping on the job. Employ one that serves you and your clients while growing with your business. Site visitor stats are little more than vanity metrics. The real metrics of effectiveness are the number of leads and contacts you generate from your website.
Besides site design, we'll discuss a strategy for you to grow a list of leads you can nurture into real, paying clients. Learn how lead magnets can help you grow your business by nurturing potential clients through the sales cycle and let your website be of service to them...and you!

Download Package Info1. Scope of Work Phase
A.k.a. Audit Phase: During this phase, a content audit, site structure review/update, digital product inventory (and recommendations), and an overall understanding of what is/isn't working on your existing site (or content planning/structure for your new content).
Content audits text, pages, and assets (images, videos, graphics, audio, PDFs, etc.), as well as social sharing and backlinks counts, content/page performance and recommendations. This information is documented and shared with you.
In short, this is where we plan how to reuse existing content, what new content is needed, what functionalities will be needed and where, and how to more effectively facilitate your clients' needs.
We will also discuss:
- Hosting
- Domain Registration
- Site security
- Backups
For those needing help with content:
Agencies, enterprise-level clients seeking UX design, please visit the agencies pages and contact me for more information.
UX Design2. Design Phase
During this phase, the information gleaned from the SOW helps determine content placement and that for the first-level pages (top-level pages that are not the homepage) and mockups are created and reworked based on your feedback.
- 1-3 Homepage concepts presented, feedback documented
- 1-2 Homepage and 1 first-level page mockups presented, feedback documented
- Homepage and first-level pages designs finalized, feedback documented
3. Site Build Phase
Once the design is finalized, the site build begins. Only limited design changes can be made in this stage in order to stay on track. This is why the design phase is all in mockups. If more design changes are needed, change orders are billed at an hourly rate.
Sites are primarily built in WordPress. However, I can work with clients using any of the following platforms:
