web design
We make your clients look good (and make you more money).
What ties all of your marketing efforts together? It's not a business card. It's not a Facebook page. It's a website.
If your clients have hideous websites, despite your best marketing efforts they are going to miss out on customers (and money). We can fix that.
We create professional, cutting-edge designs that instill trust, inspire action and amplify marketing strategies.
We bring your ideas to life
The intersection of creativity and understanding user habits is where the magic occurs. You let us know what your client needs and we create designs that make them outshine their competitors. The end result is a website that helps convince people to do business with your client.
Do you need help figuring out the perfect blend of ingredients to help your client get the most out of their website? Expert website consulting will put you on the right track.
What we do well
We understand that no two companies are alike. That's why our custom websites are powered by imagination, built from the ground up and are tailored to suit the needs of your clients. Whether you have a client that needs a simple, brochure style website, a large e-commerce website or something in between, let us know your client's needs and we'll bring it to life on the web.
Our standard custom web designs include the following:
- Creating a modern, mobile friendly, custom web design
- Designing layouts for up to 10 pages of content (content to be provided by client)
- Designing a blog page layout
- Adding up to 3 blog posts (content to be provided by client)
- 1 Basic contact form
- 1 Newsletter subscription form
- Installing website security features to help keep the website as secure as possible
- 3 rounds of design revisions
If you have a client who is looking to start selling a product or service online, building e-commerce functionality directly into their WordPress website can save them money in the long run.
When selling a product or service online there is always going to be some cost associated with processing payments. However, using 3rd party options can create many more additional (and unnecessary) fees.
There are many e-commerce options available such as Etsy, which claim they make it "simple and easy to start selling online."
But what most people don't realize is that it creates ongoing costs. Companies like Etsy not only charge payment processing fees, but also add on additional charges such as listing fees and advertising fees; all which cut into your clients profits.
Regardless if your client is a small to mid-size business or a business trying to get it's feet on the ground, those additional fees hurt.
Whether it's a digital product, customizable product or service, drop shipping service, etc., we can create a custom-tailored e-commerce solution built directly into your clients WordPress website, saving them from unnecessary fees.
There are thousands of WordPress plugins and 3rd party web services available that can add all sorts of useful functionality into a website. While they are a great option for many websites, for the most part they are an “out of the box” solution.
But sometimes "out of the box" doesn't cut it.
Some websites require a little something extra and need a solution made just for them. Business directories, real estate sites, online educational courses and membership websites are just a few examples of the types of websites that often need more than an "out of the box" solution.
Unlike a WordPress plugin (or 3rd party service) where you are limited to the options they provide, a custom website application is designed to meet the specific needs of a website.
We can create a variety of custom applications that are tailored to meet the unique functionality needs of your clients' websites.
Can your client host their own website? Absolutely. But do they know how to maintain a server or what to do when it experiences an issue that causes their website to go down?
Probably not.
We see this scenario time and time again with clients who attempt to "DIY" their hosting.
They don't realize that server quality matters and that it needs to be monitored and maintained on a regular basis. Instead, they simply sign up for a "cheap" hosting package and then forget all about it. This can create all sorts of server issues, including website downtime (periods of time where the website is not accessible to visitors) which causes your client to miss out on potential customers (and money).
Our premium hosting alleviates hosting headaches.
We take measures to prevent a problem from ever occurring in the first place. We host websites on the most reliable hosting platform, specifically designed to host WordPress websites. We also regularly monitor server settings and proactively make any needed adjustments to help keep the website running smoothly.
In the off chance a server issue occurs, we know how to handle it and can get it resolved quickly.
Our premium hosting package also includes the following features:
- A SSL certificate to keep website data secure
- Content delivery network (CDN) to help the website load quickly
- Daily website backups so if the website were to experience a major issue, we can quickly restore it back to the original version
- WordPress plugins are updated twice a month which helps keep the website secure and prevents compatibility issues
To stay relevant, a website needs to evolve over time.
At some point it's likely that your clients will want to offer new products and services, run promotional offers, update their branding, etc. When they do, their website needs to reflect these changes.
While you or your client may be able to make simple website edits, larger and more complex changes will require a web designer.
We are not a "one and done" web design company. We know the ins and outs of the websites that we create and as your client's business changes, we are always available to help their website expand and grow.
Websites are like cars. In order to run smoothly, they need to be maintained regularly.
Updating WordPress plugins on a regular basis is one of the simplest ways to ensure that your client's website will continue to run smoothly. Out of date plugins can create compatibility issues that cause a website to break. When a website looks broken or doesn't function properly, not only does it look unprofessional, it can give the perception that your client's company isn't reputable, which causes them to miss out on potential customers.
Out of date plugins also make your clients' websites more vulnerable. The most common reason that a WordPress website gets hacked is from not updating out of date plugins on a regular basis. And when a website gets hacked it can result in downtime, which again can cause your client to miss out on potential customers.
We offer a WordPress and plugin maintenance service* which includes us twice a month creating a complete website backup of the website as well as updating WordPress plugins to their latest version.
*Regular WordPress and plugin updates are included with our Premium Website Hosting package. However, we also offer this as a stand alone service for clients that don't host with us.
Do you have a client that needs a shiny, new website but has a small budget? Our Smart Site plan may just be what you're looking for.
Be More Productive (And Profitable)
We like it when things are as streamlined and efficient as possible. You probably do too. That’s why we have designed our website services to easily fit into your current product offerings.
Time Saving Partner Portal
We know that you're busy and don't have time to waste. Our partner portal is designed to save you time. Each creative agency that works with us has access to their own dedicated resources page. From the status of client projects, white label design questionnaires, tutorials, billing, etc. everything needed to manage your clients' web projects can be accessed in one spot.
White Label Resources Designed To Produce Better Results
To turn your clients web design goals into a reality, clear communication is key. The problem is that clients are often vague when trying to explain what they want. Vagueness and ambiguity not only leave things open to interpretation but also creates confusion, misunderstanding and tends to waste time and money.
When clients don't clearly communicate how they want their website to look or what their website needs, it's hard for a web designer to get a clear picture of what they're asking for.
Think about it this way, if you were to hire a contractor to build a house, you wouldn't simply say "I need a house, with maybe two or three bedrooms, with lots of custom features and throw in some bold pops of color." Obviously that's extremely vague information and no matter how skilled the contractor, the odds are they're not going have a clear picture of what you want. Maybe the contractor opts to only go with 2 bedrooms (but you really wanted 3) and his version of a "pop of color" is orange but to you a "pop of color" means blue. The end result will require a lot of work to be redone, pushes back deadlines and can increase the cost of the project.
The good news is, that after 25+ combined years of creating websites, we know the types of information we need to get from clients to make their website meet their expectations. To help creative agencies collect the critical information needed from a client, we provide non-branded design questionnaires that we created to draw out clear answers from your client. These tools help keep the project on track and on budget.
Dedicated Developers
When a creative agency works with us, they actually work us (Ian & Amy). Even though we're a white label web design company, we don't outsource client projects. We create the work from start to finish and know the "ins and outs" of your client's website. When you have a question, suggestion or concern, regardless if it's pre-project, mid-project or post-project, we are there to help.
Increase Your Revenue (And Keep Your Clients Happy)
Imagine going out for lunch but you can only buy a sandwich from Restaurant A, then you have to go to Restaurant B to buy a side salad, and then to Restaurant C to buy a drink. That would be majorly annoying, right?
This is the same type of problem your clients face if you don't offer web design services. When a creative agency doesn't offer web design, they're essentially like "Restaurant A" where their clients can only get some of what they need and have to go "Restaurant B" or even Restaurant C" to get the complete package.
Nobody wants to do that and certainly nobody has the time to do that. To attract and retain marketing clients, it's important that they can get everything they need from you.
Our white label web design services gives you the ability to offer more in-house services and creates a new revenue stream for you; all without the overhead costs of hiring in-house web designers.
