Why to Choose Joe Web Site Design

asheville web design spokesperson

How We're Different than Other Asheville Web Design Agencies

We're not your typical Asheville web design agency. As a husband-and-wife team, we offer personalized service that ensures clear communication and an understanding of your unique business needs. Our custom sites are:

  • Faster to load
  • More secure
  • Easier to manage

We believe simpler is better when it comes to small business websites. That's why we focus on building lightweight, PHP-based sites rather than relying on resource-heavy platforms like WordPress.

While WordPress can be a great tool for some, many small businesses don't need the complexity and commitment to ongoing maintenance that come with it. Our custom sites are designed to be more secure, reliable, and user-friendly.

Let's make your business shine! Contact us today to get started.

The Simpler Alternative to WordPress

Our Custom PHP File-Based Sites vs. WordPress

WordPress is a popular choice, but for many small business owners, its features can be overwhelming when it comes to making simple changes and completing regular performance and security updates. Here's why we prefer PHP-based, file-driven websites for most of our clients:

  • Simplicity: Our PHP sites are easy to manage and don't require frequent updates, making them a great fit for business owners who want something reliable without the hassle.
  • Security: WordPress sites are often targeted by hackers due to the platform's widespread use. Our PHP-based sites significantly reduce the risk of attacks.
  • Customization Flexibility: PHP allows us to build custom functionality like contact forms, SEO elements (such as schema markup), and prevent hacker attempts with ease.*

By keeping major sections in separate files (like headers, navigation, and footers), one update applies across the entire site. Plus, isolating the unique content for each page makes it easier and safer if clients choose to complete their own updates.

*PHP also enables us to create a script that captures and monitors hacking attempts (many of which are searching for WordPress vulnerabilities). We receive notification of each hack attempt, which can happen hundreds of times per hour:

Because our sites are not built on the WordPress platform, the only thing hackers get is a simple error message!

Here's What You Can Expect When Working with Us

We appreciate clients taking an active interest in the development of their site. Here is the standard timeline we try to follow:

  1. Discovery and Consultation (2-3 hours):

    • We'll kick things off with an in-depth consultation to understand your business, major competitors, target audience, and website goals. This phase includes gathering your ideas, discussing any existing branding, and identifying the core features and functionalities your site will need. Whether you’re looking to generate more leads, showcase your services, or provide online booking, we'll make sure the plan is tailored to your unique needs.
  2. Design and Feedback (1-2 weeks):

    • Once we have a clear vision, we'll create a custom design mockup reflecting your brand's personality and strengths. You'll have a chance to review and provide feedback, ensuring that the final design aligns perfectly with your vision. Revisions are a natural part of this process, so we'll collaborate until the design is just right.
  3. Development and Testing (3–4 weeks):

    • After the design is finalized, we'll move into the development phase. We'll build your website using clean, efficient code and incorporate responsive design principles so that it looks great on any device. During this phase, We'll also ensure that the site is optimized for fast loading and search engines. We'll run comprehensive testing to make sure everything is functioning perfectly before launch.
  4. Launch and Final Adjustments (1 week):

    • Once you've reviewed and approved the final version of the site, we'll schedule the launch. During the launch phase, we'll handle everything--from domain setup to ensuring a smooth transition from any existing sites. After the site is live, we'll complete any final adjustments to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Estimated Total Timeline: 5-7 weeks

Every project is unique, but we strive to keep the process efficient without sacrificing quality. We're also flexible to accommodate your specific timeline or scheduling needs, ensuring your project is completed on time and within your budget.
