Ready for expansion: The original site was developed over time by the owners. As the site continued to evolve, the random bolt-on nature started to cause problems. The original hosting also started having problems, causing large amounts of downtime. We solved these problems with a freshly built site hosted on the latest technology.
Needing a store: As the publication has grown, a following has been created. To assist in their mission and spread the word, The Pamphlet was in need of a storefront to sell merchandise and physical copies of the publication. They also wanted to move the subscribers to a platform of their own.
Easy Sharing: The original site was not optimized for search engine performance, nor sharing on social media. During the rebuild, we added a sitemap for easy indexing and enhanced the shareability of the articles by adding social media tags to each post. We also added buttons to promote easy sharing on many forms of media.
Trackable results: Up until now, the owners have been relying on very basic data to inform them on how the site was doing, and who their audience online was. We added privacy-friendly site tracking to help them learn what topics the audience is interested in, and what pages are most important. This allows them to tailor the publication to those who are most interested in it.
A fresh look: Giving the site a fresh look and better usability was very important. Not only for the guests on the site but the owners as well. The new version is very easy to navigate and easy for the owners to continue to publish updates.
Continued care: A site is only as good as the maintenance that takes care of it. With the addition of a care plan, the site will continue to run at its best for a long time, ensuring good results for both the owners and all the site guests.
Testimonial
“Before I discovered Alex and his keen sense of web design, I was lost in trying to do things myself. I had limited funds and did not have the time or experience to do it right. It was impossible for me to get our message out in the chaotic digital world
Alex came along and simplified the process for our small family business. Not only did Alex present cutting-edge capacity to build a fantastic fully functioning website, he did it on a budget that we could afford.
I must admit that I was skeptical that a small family website developer could compete with the expense options out there but Alex blew us away with his skills, dedication, and knowledge. Alex has done such great work that my wife and I employed him to build two other websites for us and he is presently rebuilding our Homestead site from the ground up which will be our fourth project with him.
I initially decided to go with Alex because he is trustworthy and could work with the budget that I had. I was blown away by his skill and knowledge and will continue to use Alex as our family web guy. I strongly recommend you at least sit down and talk with Alex about your web needs. You won’t be disappointed.”
