Maintenance
Once you launch, we stay on to maintain and update your site as much or as little as you like.
SEO / AEO
We implement the key on-site components that help your site rank well in search engines and AI answers.
Hosting
We can host everything and handle all the technical upkeep for you, or work with the hosting you already have. Either way, it is one less thing on your plate.
Modern build
We match each project to the right platform, WordPress, Shopify, or a fully custom build, and we make it fast, secure, and easy to manage. Already on Squarespace? We can maintain it or move you to WordPress.
Easy to update
Updating your website is this easy.
Add a new employee, change your menu, show off a new project. You fill in a simple form, press save, and your website updates itself. Nothing extra, nothing confusing, and no tech skills needed.
In their words
The vast majority of our business comes from referrals.
Steve has supported my website for years. The service has been excellent and I constantly get compliments on my interactive web site.
Steve has been an irreplaceable component in our retail website since 1999. He guided us through technical development and offered invaluable advice on design and copy, a much-valued partner in our web business.
Steve built me the most perfect website. It's exactly what I asked for. As someone who is technologically inept, this whole process was very daunting to me, but he made it completely painless.
After two months struggling with our previous developer, Steve got our website up and running in two short weeks. I only wish I had found him sooner!
Our experience has been pure pleasure. Steve is creative, quick, and gets things right the first time. He anticipates your needs and comes back with results better than you anticipated. All thumbs up!
Working with Steve has been easy, fun and rewarding. He has consistently exceeded our expectations. We have total confidence in him.
I put Steve through his paces on this build. As an Art Director, I appreciated that he wanted to get it as right as I envisioned, prompt, courteous, and unflappable throughout.
I've worked in advertising for over 10 years and have seen a lot of bad, bad sites. Yours is great.
