Award-winning business websites

A business website that earns the first impression

Hardware store, auto repair shop, law firm or manufacturer: a great website is essential to your company's success. Our webmasters have built hundreds of business websites, and creativity is nowhere more visible than in the visual impact of the sites we design. You will probably only get one chance at a first impression. We make it count.

The three fundamentals

Credibility, usability and findability

With the explosion in competing websites, the first impression of your business website has to be a good one. These three decide whether it is.

Credibility

Design, architecture, programming, database engineering and promotion all matter. But if the site looks ugly or unprofessional and does not carry your brand with the impact it deserves, all of it is in vain. Brand, palette, layout, navigation, photography and message establish credibility in seconds.

Usability

Easy-to-read type, optimized graphics that load fast, navigation that gets people to the page they need quickly, and forms that work on a phone. We leverage the best technologies for the job and make content accessible to all people and all devices.

Findability

A beautiful site no one sees does not matter. Business websites ship with the structure, speed, titles, schema and redirects that search engines reward, and the same team can run SEO and paid search once it launches.

Steps for a successful website

Eight decisions, in order

The same checklist we walk every business through before design starts.

  1. 01
    Choose a good domain name

    Your address is how most people enter the site. Make it easy to spell, as short as possible, memorable, and a .com unless you have a strong reason otherwise. Learn more

  2. 02
    Find secure, fast, scalable hosting

    Your host is where the site lives. Ask about server security, daily backups and what happens when traffic spikes. Ours is in Colorado Springs, minutes from the office. Learn more

  3. 03
    Choose the right CMS

    The content management system is how you create and manage content. WordPress fits most businesses; WooCommerce and Shopify handle stores. We build in many systems and recommend by fit. Learn more

  4. 04
    Design an engaging interface

    Easy-to-read fonts, fast graphics, navigation that works, and a look that outperforms your competitors' sites, which we review before we design yours. Learn more

  5. 05
    Optimize for search

    SEO is the difference between the first page of Google and the fourteenth. It starts in the build and continues as an ongoing program. Learn more

  6. 06
    Publish fresh content regularly

    Quality and freshness both help a site rank. A content plan, a blog your team can use, and writers when you need them. Learn more

  7. 07
    Get a maintenance plan

    A website is never done. New vulnerabilities appear, software updates, content ages. A plan sized to your site keeps it secure and current. Learn more

  8. 08
    Measure and improve

    Analytics, call tracking and conversion goals installed at launch, so you know what the site produces and what to improve next. Learn more

Maintenance plans

You cannot create a website and consider it done

There are always new ways to hack a site and updates that need to be made. Plans are tailored to the site, the content and the needs of the company, and can include:

  • Custom website content, photo and copy edits
  • Plugin and vulnerability fixes (hacks and spam prevented)
  • Compliance implementation and updates: HIPAA, ADA, WCAG
  • Web design or development upgrades
  • Speed and load-time compliance
  • Training and website support

Business website questions

Frequently asked questions

01What makes a business website successful?

Three fundamentals: credibility, usability and findability. The design has to establish trust immediately, the site has to be easy to use on every device, and people have to be able to find it in search. Miss any one of the three and the other two cannot make up for it.

02Can you design landing pages for my ads?

Yes. A landing page affects your campaign prices, Quality Score, sign-ups and purchases. We design and build landing pages for paid search and social campaigns, and the same team can run the campaigns.

03What does a maintenance plan include?

Content, photo and copy edits; plugin and vulnerability fixes; compliance updates such as ADA, WCAG and HIPAA; design and development upgrades; speed work; and training and support. Plans are sized to the site and billed monthly, with unused hours rolling over.

04What is a content edit package?

A discounted monthly block of hours for businesses that are too busy to update their own website or tired of struggling with the editor. Send the changes; we make them, usually within a business day.

05Do you work with businesses outside Colorado Springs?

Yes. We are headquartered in Colorado Springs and build and support websites for businesses across Colorado and nationwide. Everything is done in house by our own team.
