Professional Web Design Still Matters for Small Businesses

A professionally designed website is a vital tool for small businesses, often serving as the first interaction with potential customers. Professional web design helps establish trust and credibility, portraying your business as reliable and professional as well. Unlike DIY solutions, AI-generated templates or having a hobbyist build your website, a chadworks website is tailored to your brand, ensuring that the overall aesthetic via the colors, fonts, and layouts resonate with your business or organizations’ unique identity. This customization provides a consistent and appealing experience for visitors, encouraging them to explore your services or products further.

Benefits of hiring chadworks as your web designer:

  • We work with almost any industry

  • Fully transparent
  • Clear and concise communication
  • Fast turn around
  • Strong work ethic
  • Works with most budgets
  • We make web design concepts and processes easy to understand

Having a trained and experienced web designer build your website also prioritizes functionality, as opposed to some other solutions that may develop websites that aren’t as user friendly. Having a solid UX (user experience) makes it easier for users to navigate your website. Additionally, optimizing for mobile responsiveness and fast loading speeds are critical for modern audiences and can significantly improve customer satisfaction. Did I mention that professional web design incorporates SEO best practices? Implementing proper SEO on your website is critical to helping it rank higher on search engines. This increased visibility attracts more organic traffic and people that don’t yet know about your business, giving your small business a competitive edge in a the ever-growing online marketplace.

Website Design Process

My process is streamlined and easy to understand for non-techies.

Step 1

Discovery

I interview you to extract the necessary information about your business like company history, mission and vision, important products or services, milestones, etc.

Step 2

Website Architecture (Sitemap)

Based on the information and content collected in the discovery phase, I build an SEO and user-friendly sitemap to visually organize all of your pages in an easy to read and digest visual. This usually becomes the main menu.

Step 3

Homepage Design

The overall design of the site will be delivered with the first revision of the homepage. The rest of the pages will mimic this overall design but have their own content in the main part of the page.

Step 4

Sub Page Build Out

The rest of the website’s pages will be built out with the design from the homepage and the content provided. This includes product pages and blog posts.

Step 5

Search Optimization (SEO)

The website pages and content will be optimized for search out of the box. This does not mean you will show up #1 for “dog groomers” but it means the site will be in the best shape it can be to begin competing for ranking on Google/Bing.

Step 6

Mobile Optimization & Testing

This is the last step. All content and pages must be complete before mobile testing and optimization is performed.

Step 7

Soft Launch

We launch the site on your main domain. We ask friends and family to visit the site and test it out to try and find any last bugs we did not catch or issues with specifics operating systems, browsers or devices.

Step 8

Official Launch

We announce the launch of your website, and toast to a job well done for everyone involved. Congrats on your new web property, go get ’em. I’ll be here for anything else you may need.

Step 9

One Week Post-Launch Safety Net

You have one week from “official launch” for me to fix any issues or glaring mistakes that have been discovered at no charge. This does not include new pages or content of any kind, only fixing what was already on the site upon official launch.

Are you considering building your website by yourself?

Have you been wooed by Squarespace, WIX or GoDaddy?

(Or Elementor, Divi or Weebly?)

Stop. Don’t DIY. Let us do it for (or with) you.

Are you fully prepared to build or refresh your website?

An expert web designer will ask many questions to determine the exact features and scope of your website. Some of these questions might be:

  • What is the main industry of your business?
  • What products or services do you sell?
  • Are you online or brick and mortar? (or both?)

  • What is the main goal of the website?

  • Do you need to design a branding kit and logo?
  • Do you have content or do we need to develop it?

  • How many pages do we really need?
  • Will there be an active blog or publishing component?

Your website should reflect the character and personality of your business.

Web Design Client Reviews

I’ve worked with Chad for the last four months. He updated and rebuilt my website, and expanded my social media presence a thousand fold. He’s great to work with and had many creative ideas. I highly recommend working with him.

Chad moved our website from one platform which we could not manage in-house to a platform that we can now manage. Chad is very dependable and excellent at what he does. We plan to use him in the future to continue building our new website.

I was looking for a Philadelphia-local company/person to help me build an interactive website for my business. A website that would allow my clients to purchase subscriptions and such. After interviewing several other companies, I became disappointed in other companies lack of effort for a potential customer. Chad was very informative and knew exactly what I needed and was able to build my website to exactly how I wanted . Not only that, the website continues to grow with newer ideas thanks to Chad and his knowledge of what his customers needs and wants are. Chad is very professional, talented and skilled. He does not try to sell you on products or services that you don’t need. He keeps everything on point.

Chad is a wonder worker! I spent over a thousand dollars having GoDaddy create a website that was unfindable. All my calls to them were endlessly transferred and always resulted in them wanting to sell me more products.

In desperation, I turned to Chadworks. For the same amount of money, he cut through all the nonsense like Herakles cutting through the Gordian knot. He responded quickly and effectively to all my questions and requests and my website now shows up first or second in any searches. He is an SEO magician!

Chad went above and beyond building our Philly catering company’s high end website and exceeded our expectations with the final product. He is super easy to communicate with and very responsive to our many questions. He has also been a great deal of help consulting on all aspects of rebranding, marketing and SEO.

We used Chad to build our new website. I had a very specific look I was going for, and even though I was pretty bad at articulating it, Chad nailed it. He is competent, patient and has a lot of great ideas. I will definitely use him again on future projects.
