Increase your reach online
Your Website Will Be More than Just a Brochure.
Your new website won’t just look great, it will boost your online presence, drive more sales, and enable your business to go further than ever before.
Get it Right the First Time.
Websites are a powerful form of interactive marketing. Because of that, every choice from layout to functionality can make or break how your visitors interact with it—ultimately determining if they’ll use your services or head back to Google to continue their search.
Working with MSD means that your website and marketing will be looked at as a whole, along with your business, niche, competition, and goals for success.

The Web Design Process.

The foundation of every successful website
Together, we’ll take a look at what makes your business unique, your market demographic, competitors, and begin planning how your new website will be used to reach your goals.
Some of the questions we’ll answer in this phase are…

A website that looks good is nice to have, but a website that generates leads and looks good is much much more valuable. In this phase your website will begin to take shape, its content will begin to fill out its pages and we’ll focus on…

More Than Just a Website
SEO That Goes Beyond the Basics
Your website will have Search Engine Optimization (SEO) implemented that uses best practices, and never any outdated techniques that don’t work anymore or worse; get your site penalized.
Easily Track Your Success
By understanding how visitors move through your website, what content is most viewed, and the goals of your visitors, we’re able to fine tune your messaging, layout, and content to continuously improve your website.
Get Ahead of Your Competition
Your competitor’s websites will be audited to determine their positioning, content strength, and learn where you can capitalize on their omissions or shortcomings.
Help Create an Accessible Internet
The Americans with Disabilities Act may apply to your business’ website and it will be designed to comply with these laws. By building websites that are accessible to everyone we help to build an open internet for everyone—and protect your business from potential lawsuits in the process.
Protect Yourself From Potential Lawsuits
Chances are, your new website is legally required to have Privacy Policy and Terms of Service pages. I will help you navigate these privacy laws and, if you don’t have a lawyer to draft these documents, I have partners who specialize in just that!
More Flexable than DIY Solutions
While do-it-yourself website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and Weebly enable you to quickly publish a website, they have limited tools and businesses often quickly outgrow them. Your website will be built to enable to you scale it as your business grows.
Why Work with MSD?
An Ongoing Asset
On average my clients have been with me for 5 years or longer. This isn’t because they’re under contract, it’s because they enjoy the benefits of working with me and our ongoing success together.
Real World Results
I’m proud of my clients growth and accomplishments and would love to discuss how I’m able to help your business. For examples of what I can do for you, take a look at my Case Studies.
Analytic Data, Not Guesswork
Real world data is used to create your designs and build your website. This allows us to form a better understanding of your market and leads to an end product that attracts your ideal customer.
No Unnecessary Jargon
Jargon can be confusing, especially when it comes to web design. This makes choosing the right designer more difficult as it’s often used to impress rather than inform. I try to steer clear of tech jargon—unless you want the nitty-gritty.
Your Return on Investment
When I take on a client one of the factors taken into consideration is whether you’ll make a return on your investment. This balance keeps both my clients and myself happy.
Education & Empowerment
When needed, you’ll be provided training videos and documentation for you and your staff so you can hit the ground running from the word “Go”.
Web Design F.A.Q.
All my website builds include on page SEO created using best practices along with off-site optimizations if you’re hosting your site on my servers. Your site will include proper H-tags, alt images, meta descriptions, sitemaps, image optimization, and more.
Historically, the sites I launch rank higher than their previous iterations.
For sure! You’ll have full administrative access to your website once it’s launched and can change titles, paragraphs and images with ease.
However, if you’re on a Care Plan I can make most of these changes at no extra cost.
You bet! Your website will adapt to fit screens of all sizes, from mobile phones to wide desktop monitors.
Not only that, but your visitors experience can be tailored to the device they’re using, time of day they’re visiting, location, and much more. For example; what would be a button leading to your contact form when viewed on a desktop PC can change to a button that automatically calls your business phone if viewed on a cell phone.
You bet! I offer Website Care Plans that ensures your website remains up-to-date, backed up, and secure. You also have three 30 minute tasks allotted each month for updates and changes.
Even if you want to handle everything yourself but feel stuck at any point, reach out and ask – I’m always happy to help where I can.
Nope! Every website I build is done by me or someone on my regular team.
Many of my clients opt to deliver their own copy-writing and images with my guidance, however, if that doesn’t sound like something you’d like to do I have close connections with outstanding copywriters and photographers I can connect you with.
Ooof, that’s a big NO WAY! From the proposal stage onward you’ll know exactly what your invoice will be. I charge by the project, not hourly, so the amount you see in the proposal is the price you’ll pay.
The only exception to this would be a shift in the scope of work we agree upon before beginning the project. If there’s more pages, more functionality, or a large shift in the website’s structure, these will most likely increase the cost – but you’ll be notified and I won’t start before it’s been approved by you.
If a website is properly maintained the core structure should last for quite some time. That said, style trends and security measures tend to change at a faster pace, so a website refresh may need to be done every 2-3 years to make sure it doesn’t start to fall behind.
No way! None of those pre-made templates or themes will be found here! Instead, I create custom designs and layouts to meet your specific business’ goals.
Of course! We’ll work together to hone in on how your brand will be represented online through a 4 step process from conception to launch. Using this process helps to define and support your website’s message. My clients trust that I’m able to translate this into an engaging design that uses best practices and standards, but I’ll always proof these designs with you before we fully implement them on the website.
