Services

I offer complete websites, website maintenance & updates, website consulting and speed consulting. Please contact me if I can help you or if you have any questions.

• Complete Websites I specialize in complete websites involving design and development of both new sites and redesigns.
• Website Maintenance & Upgrades I also provide services to site owners in need of maintenance and upgrades.
• Website Consulting I consult on a broad range of website topics including search engine optimization (SEO,) content creation, social media strategy, multi-device (responsive) strategy, online marketing, web hosting, website software tutorials and more.
• Speed Consulting You might need speed consulting if your website takes longer than 2.5 seconds to load. If yours takes longer, then you’re surely frustrating customers and losing them in the process. I consult on my many approaches to speeding up websites.

Working with Me

I take pride in being a pleasure to work with, by keeping my client load low and communicating clearly, concisely and frequently. I strive to deliver quality at a fair price. For payment on most projects, I require 50% upfront to start the work with the balance due upon completion. I work evenings and weekends. Pro-bono work is done only on Tuesdays.

Every website needs the following three things at minimum:

1. Domain Name (e.g. nattaylor.com) to identify your site
2. Web Hosting to serve your site’s content to your customers
3. Web Pages with content for your customers to browse

“Web Design” is what turns your assets and ideas–Word documents, drawings, photos, etc–into web pages, and that is my specialty, although I also offer hosting and can register your domain. Domain names incur an annual registration fee, and most hosting providers also charge a recurring fee. Typically, I will install software, like WordPress, on your hosting that includes a template of your design, so you can easily add and edit pages later. Thus, my web design services are typically a one-time fee, unless you opt for on-going maintenance or improvements.

Case Studies

My focus on client satisfaction has resulted in success over a broad range of designs.

Company Showcase for Jim Taylor Yacht Designs

Jim is a repeat customer who engages with us on an ongoing basis. We first designed his site for 56K modems, so the redesign goals were to showcase his designs with vivid imagery and increase organic search traffic. The result drove a ten-fold increase in search traffic and showcases more than 30 designs with descriptions, photography, plans and press coverage. It is a fast loading site that works on all types of devices built in WordPress, so that he can make changes.

Website Maintenance for Rhodes 19 Fleet 5 (Pro Bono)

Prior to being selected as the webmaster, we completed some website maintenance for Fleet 5 that involved a domain transfer, website migration (including database) and email migration — of which went smoothly.
