You have a fledgling business which needs a lead-reinforcing online business card. Your budget is tight and you aren't technical. So you need something that will look great, make a strong first impression and require little or no maintenance. Basically we're talking about a beautiful but static brochure website with an advanced contact system. Some splash features such as an interactive front-page content slider and other animated elements are feasible within this price point, depending on whether the content exists or if we need to invent it.

The site will have two or three pages (sometimes even only one). We will work with you to create a unique look and feel, You will provide us with the content - logo, graphics, images and copy. The more production-ready your content, the lower your cost. If you expect us to professionally polish your content (or bake it from scratch), the higher your cost.

Our creative investment will be confined to the overall design of the site, and we will not be providing any strategic marketing or branding consultation. Basic organic SEO optimization is included. That means all pages will have Google-friendly titles and URLs. In-depth, platinum SEO packages will cost extra because of the added work. Basic mobile optimization is also included. That means the smartphone version will look like the desktop version, with no extensive and unique customization of the user experience.

Improved mobile responsiveness led the customer's priorities. The same beautiful and striking HD widescreen visuals which are served to big monitors are also carried forward into the visual look and feel of the mobile version for phones and tablets.

White Water Marine, in Port Huron, MI, approached us for a giant step forward into modern web design. We replaced their functional but dated HTML site with a big, bold, and dynamic mobile-responsive product showcase. Instead of the usual glossy product photography, we used homegrown photos taken around the shop. The result is an honest and energetic industrial look. Robust organic SEO was built into the website architecture, obtaining outstanding results in the company's U.S. target market.
