SUMMARY: Affordable award-winning custom websites, social media marketing, search engine marketing, & branding. Woman-owned (2) and Veteran-owned (1), 5-star company of 11 family-like specialists.
WEBSITES: We build custom, award-winning, persuasive websites that convert visitors into paying customers. Our websites are well worded, expertly coded, and beautifully designed to make an outstanding first impression and—most importantly—to sell your services!
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: We create original branded posts on social media to grow your online presence, demonstrate competence, establish trust, and build relationships. We do this by posting original content every day of the year that focuses on, and drives likes, follows, comments, and shares.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO): Only available to our website clients because SEO is both about how your website is built and the activities done outside the website to signal search engines and earn their favor over competitors. We build well-optimized sites and we use a wide variety of “white-hat” techniques outside your website to achieve brag-worthy results!
CONTENT MARKETING: We write long form-researched content for you, like blogs and articles, that invites engagement, provokes curiosity, demonstrates expertise, and attracts additional traffic to your website. Once created, we post it to your blog and syndicate it across all social media channels and content sharing platforms.
BRAND DEVELOPMENT: From helping you choose a brand name and tagline, to designing the logo, business cards, brochures, vehicle wraps and all the rest! We can design and develop every aspect of your business identity so that it is cohesive across the board.
FULLY MANAGED DIGITAL ADS: Our ad experts certified in each platform (Google, Bing, Facebook, etc.) to create ads that are effective, well-designed, well-targeted, continually monitored, and optimized on a weekly basis.

"Everyone *thinks* they answer the phone professionally, but having your phone answered by these pros will really take your business to a higher level! Your clients will notice the difference and so will your staff when they are FREE from the phone and can spend their time on work, instead of the phone. Don't take my word for it: test them out by calling THEIR number and see for yourself!"

The reason you've never seen one on page one of google is that, in order to make it simple for a non-coder, they have to add about 1700% more code - all unnecessary bloat in the final product. And Google penalizes you for it!
We're 1 of 4 companies I know of (nationwide) that builds and designs fully custom websites at affordable prices that compete with website building DIY software. The main difference is that you can focus on developing and building your business, instead of learning several new careers just to make an effective website!
Instead it will all be done by 4 specialist: an award winning web designer (graphics), a professional writer, a sales & marketing strategist, and coder. None of them are trying to be jacks-of-all-trades and lowering their quality as a result. Instead, 11 of us work on family-like team, taking direction from your dedicated account manager - a person you can call, text, or email with any request you have... and it's just $99.

Now if you MUST do it yourself, the best choice would be to use WordPress and buy a premade template – not a website builder. Let me know if you need links to reputable template markets.

P.S. I've attached a couple author website designs we've designed. The first would be pretty hard for someone to do it themselves on Wix. Let me know you thoughts on these designs!

Monday.com and ClickUp.com are the two best for handling ALL aspects of a business, including CRM functions, file management, project management, etc., but they have a per-user recurring fee.
On the other hand, there are many CRMs you can buy for a one time fee, instead of recurring monthly fees. Most of them can be standalone or integrated into your website. For that, I'd look at CodeCanyon.net.
After installing and integrating a dozen or so CRMs, for my company of 11 employees and hundreds of customers, we chose ClickUp.com and we're extremely happy with it! As you can imagine, we have a lot of moving parts and we can keep them ALL synced up there.

Search engine ads (Google and Bing) are a form of Responsive Advertising (a query is made BEFORE the ad is presented), which always provides the highest return for any service-based local business. Unlike social media, which uses Disruptive Advertising (disrupts something you were doing to show you an ad), people searching for a specific service are MUCH closer to making a buying decision than someone scrolling social media. Bing, especially, is grossly underpriced at the moment because of the focus on Google. This means you're ROI is higher on Bing, but your volume is greater on Google. If, however, you sell something that no one searches for, then disruptive advertising on social may be ideal for you.
