The story behind just 1 of our hundreds of small business websites

Over the past 20+ years, our small business clients have included everyone from an archeologist to a pizza-ologist, from a mortgage banker, a printer, a clothing retailer and a health insurance broker to an organic farmer, a celebrity chef and multiple health food stores. We've even helped a magician and a celebrity dachshund promote themselves online.

Many of these clients have become like family to us. And others didn't approach us directly but were forwarded to us as freelance work.

So we've chosen to not publicly post a gallery of our clients' sites or their contact information. However, we're happy to share sites that we feel may be of interest when you contact us to discuss your small business website project.

But I want to see an example of real-life small business website you've built?

We certainly understand! And, in fact, you are visiting one right now: our Joe Web site design website.

Our website exemplifies everything we take pride in offering to small business clients:

1. This site is attractive and easy to navigate -- both on desktop monitors and mobile devices...

2. This site is secure. All sites we build take advantage of https (secure server certificate) technology. This assures that content gets passed safely between the site and its visitors. To test any site, click the small padlock in your browser's toolbar or visit an SSL verification service such as this...

3. This site accomplishes everything it needs to do within our standard five-page package. (However, clients can purchase additional pages.)

4. All of the pages on this site load quickly -- and that is critical. Slow loading pages get penalized by search engines and are often abandoned by visitors who get impatient waiting. Just how quickly our site loads is illustrated in following test results from Google Page Speed Insights and GTMetrix...

5. The code behind the pages on this site is rock-solid. Since many client sites require special features that can introduce errors, we don't guarantee that the code for all sites we build are 100% error-free -- even 3rd party features like Facebook widgets or Google tools can trigger error warnings. Plus, over time, some currently valid code gets depricated (outdated.). But, fortunately, our website is valid...

6. Including "Structured Data Markup" (commonly known as "schema") helps Google better understand your web pages. But it is not always simple to install correctly... and flawed schema can harm rather than help a site's search enginge rankings. Fortunately, ours passes with flying colors...

7. This site shows up well in the search engines for our desired keyphrase: Small Business Website Designers in Asheville.

For us, being specific pays off:

  • we prefer dealing with local rather than national clients.
  • we find it easier and more profitable to service small business clients rather than large companies that often come with highly specific programming requirements.
  • we know that a site that shows up at the very top for a slightly less popular but tightly focused niche attracts a lot more business than a site that's ranked lower for a hugely popular but very general and highly competitive phrase.

So how does Joe Web show up in the search engines? Very well, we're proud to say...

8. This site drives plenty of traffic and keeps our phone ringing.

In fact, we may just happen to be in the office at this very moment, waiting for your call: 828-551-9761.
