Web Consulting Services
From Planning to Enhancing Your Website

Small businesses hire me for website consulting services because they need a website, but don’t know where to start – or have a website and don’t know how to fix or finish it.

Website Consulting Includes:

New Website Development Consulting

Making informed decisions at the start prevents delays, unexpected expenses, and proper choices for web hosting services, domain registrars & more.

website redesign consulting

A successful website redesign requires careful planning around data migration, SEO preservation, and user experience to avoid traffic loss, broken content, or frustrating customers.

WordPress Consulting

Strategic support for building new WordPress sites, managing upgrades & rebuilds, improving performance, resolving technical issues, and keeping the site secure and SEO friendly.

Email Deliverablity Consulting

Email deliverability consulting and configuration for domains through proper DNS records including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

Performance, Security & SEO

Focused consulting on speed, security, and technical SEO to improve visibility in search engines and create a smoother experience for users.

Web Development Consulting

Some web developers are just coders. You tell them what you need, they code it, deliver it, done. Often, people that contact me do not know what they need beyond “I need a website”. I provide web development consulting services to “hold your hand” through the web development process.

In the beginning, I answer any questions you have about the process of how to create a website, using custom, open source or commercial software options and a ballpark budget you should expect to spend to build your website. During the web development phase, I will make suggestions and recommendations for the best way to address issues that come up.

WordPress Consultant

Why hire me for WordPress consulting services? I have worked on hundreds of WordPress websites since the early 2000’s. This level of experience is the difference between using a DIY website builder and having a professional website to move your business forward.

WordPress consulting helps you plan to build a new website or address issues on an existing WordPress website.

WordPress consulting can include advice on

Custom theme development vs existing theme customization
Which plugins to use to meet the needs of your website
Properly configuring and hardening your website for security
WordPress maintenance recommendations to keep you site updated and secure.

Technical SEO Consultant

Technical SEO includes code and content related website optimization (vs marketing your website by writing content, building back links or social media.)

Technical SEO (and on-page SEO), address tasks like:

Keyword research to determine the best phrases you should be targeting
Site architecture including URL format, and hierarchy
Unique page titles, meta tags on every page
Setting up tracking like Google Analytics and Search Console
Addressing code issues that will effect your rankings

Consulting of how to structure content on your pages
Image optimization
Making websites mobile friendly
Improving page load time and overall website speed
Adding schema markup to enhance how your site displays on search engine results pages (SERPS)

Website Consulting Services

As a website consultant, I provide recommendations for the best way to build your website within your budget. I will walk you through the development process, providing you with a website proposal that will meet your website needs. When you hire me for web development services, I continue to provide web consulting throughout the website development process.

New Website Consultation

If you are starting a new website, web development consulting will be different than an existing site.

You may need advice on:

Selecting the best domain name and how to register it.
Selecting the best type of web hosting for your project.
Determining what you should realistically set your website budget.
Consulting about the web design.
Recommendations for the best way to build your site. (ie custom development, WordPress software…)
Advice about security, performance, maintenance and optimization.

Existing Website Consultation

Most people that hire me for website consulting on an existing website are usually dealing with problems related to the following:

Design issues
Website redesign and upgrades
Fix website errors
Improve search engine optimization
Website optimization consulting (speed)
Considering converting old to a new platform – like Wix to WordPress
Adding new functionality into their site

What people say about
Web Consulting Services

“My project required not only developing a website but also sorting through the programming of my previous site which was written by another programmer. She had to navigate old programming languages and manipulate old databases in addition to adding a number of new features. I am grateful not only for her talent but also for her pleasant demeanor and insightful guidance in development. “

You have been wonderful to work with. You’ve worked wonders with our new website. We have only compliments from our internal employees to our 120 +outside sales people. I was a bit hesitant working with someone “out of state” and via “internet”- Your communication skills, quickness of reply and accuracy sure proved me wrong. Thank you!!!

Prepare before our website consultation.

The more you prepare what you want to discuss, the more valuable information you will get from the consultation.
