Shawna is SEO and digital accessibility certified
What this means is that every website we build gets these basic principles applied throughout the design process.
All website builds / re-designs include:
Design to Meet Your Needs
Every business’ needs are different. We understand the boot strapping that comes with being a small business owner. You get to pick what type of build works for YOU with where your business is at NOW. Then we’ll help you plan ahead on how to invest in updates, upgrades, and improvements (if needed).
Image optimization
We take the pictures you send us and not only optimize the size for yor website to maintain optimal speed and performance, but we make sure each one has appropriate meta data, copyright information, key words, and helps tell your story. Need us to acquire imagery? We can do that too.
Responsive Design
More than 50% of all users access the internet with their mobile device. Google now prioritizes mobile optimized sites as a result. Your website will looks as good on your phone as it does on your PC.
Hosting & Security
Our website build packages include domain registration if needed, secure hosting on our server, backups and security features to keep your WordPress website secure, functional, and accessible.
Training
Once your site is done, if you want to tackle the updates yourself, not a problem! We provide training with links to relevent How-To’s and personalized videos so you can tackle it with confidence.
Accessible Design
There are more than 1 billion people with disabilities globally who have nearly 6 trillion dollars of spending power. We make sure your site is accessible to them. Digital accessibility is a requirement for some, but useful for all.
SEO Basics
Every website gets the basic SEO best practices applied.
Undivided Attention
We make it a point to only work on ONE website design – or redesign – at a time. Your website design deserves our full attention to make it amazing. So that’s what you get.

Budgeting for your Website
We have taken the web design industry and gone against the grain.
Whether you are in a tech industry or not, YOU are a tech company(opens in new window). We believe that EVERY small business should have a website that works for them.
We understand that the typical investment required to get a great looking, accessible, and well functioning website can be a barrier for small businesses.
So we have created a subscription model for our most common design tiers and includes our hosting and maintenance plans.
Think of it as an insurance plan to keep your website operating optimally, keep hackers at bay by ensuring security updates are current, protect yourself from “ambulance chasers” and their lawsuits by keeping legal pages (like your privacy policy) and digital accessibility compliance current, and more.

It includes up to three basic pages.
These pages are a home/landing page, contact us, and a blog/resource center for posts. It also include all recommended legal pages (accessibility statement, cookie policy, disclaimer, privacy policy, terms of service).

The
“Business Class”
The “Business Class” is for small businesses needing more than a “brochure” style informational site.

“First Class Plus”
The “First Class Plus” tier is for the small to medium sized business that needs more finesse and more than 10 pages. This site, for example, has nearly 30 pages and would start at this tier. It includes a home/landing page, contact us, blog/resource center, FAQ, about us, services, and up to eight (8) additional pages. Need more than 8 additional pages? We gotchu.

We highly encourage and recommend the dynamic legal/policy pages for all of our clients. It is an additional $120/year or $12/mo. The dynamic policy pages are powered by Termageddon and are updated as privacy laws are updated so you are always as up to date as possible.
We believe that you should have amazing service at a price that allows for continued growth and success for us both.
