You have a website. It doesn't bring in work.

A service business website that's fully designed, developed, set up for SEO and connected to lead capture usually takes four to six weeks. Rush projects can be done in two to three weeks with fast feedback on your side. Design-heavy projects, or ones that need custom functionality, take six to ten weeks.

A website that looks good was designed for a portfolio screenshot. A website that converts was designed around what a buyer does while researching: they scan headlines to see if you understand their problem, look for evidence you've solved it before, check for signals that reduce risk, such as testimonials, credentials and a clear process, and look for an easy next step. Plenty of business sites miss all four. Making a site look good is the easy part.

It depends on how it was built. If your site sits on a solid technical foundation with sensible SEO structure and good performance, redesigning key pages and updating the content may be enough. If it runs on a legacy system, was never set up for SEO, fails Core Web Vitals or has a broken page structure, a rebuild usually costs less than patching.

For most service businesses, I recommend Next.js for the most control over SEO and performance, or WordPress with a custom theme where the team needs a familiar content editor. Webflow suits design-led projects where you want visual control without touching code. Squarespace and Wix work for early-stage businesses that need a basic presence quickly, though they limit what you can do for SEO. The decisions made on top of the platform matter more than the platform itself.

Yes, for every engagement that includes the full website design service. I write all the page copy, including the homepage, service pages and about page. Copy is the difference between a site that explains what you do and one that makes a buyer feel understood, and I write it with search intent and conversion in mind at the same time.

No new website ranks automatically. What I deliver is a site that's ready to rank: technical SEO set up properly (metadata, schema, sitemaps and canonical tags), strong on-page optimization for your target searches, fast loading and a structure that makes it easy for Google to understand every page. Ranking takes ongoing SEO work on top of that foundation, and ongoing SEO struggles without it.

Discovery and strategy (competitor analysis, keyword planning and conversion goals), page structure and wireframes, custom visual design, full development that's responsive, accessible and fast, SEO setup (metadata, schema, sitemaps and Search Console), copywriting for every page, lead capture connected to your CRM or email, a 30-day support window after launch and a handover session so you can manage the content yourself.
