- (1) hour of training so you'll feel comfortable making updates to the website

In addition, our monthly digital marketing packages range from $1500 - $5000 / month.
We have some flexibility on the development cost if:
- We reach an agreement to do some ongoing marketing after the site launches
- We reach an agreement to host the website at $30 / month
- We include a backlink to the Markitors website from the footer of the new site
Here are a few examples of our work...we'd encourage you to view them on Spyfu.com as well to examine their SEO value and presence:
Many website developers ignore SEO when diving into a WordPress development project. We put SEO at the forefront of what we do.
Here are a few things we'll do to enhance your website SEO:
- Create Page Title Tags and Meta Descriptions targeting keywords
- Implement 301 redirects to prevent 404 errors (aka - "broken links")
- Design the site for speed - a primary ranking factor in Google's algorithm
- Install a SSL certificate for site security - another SEO ranking factor
- Design and submit a sitemap to Google Search Console
- Ensure proper url permalinks structure
Our hourly rate is $125 / hour.
Even if you do have some experience on WordPress, having some training so you can make changes after the site is live is worthwhile.
You have a difficult decision as many of the WordPress website development firms out there possess a professional portfolio, expertise in inbound marketing, and are competitive on price.
There are a few differentiators for us beyond a solid website portfolio.
1. Google "digital marketing company." We're typically on the first page of search results nationwide. We know our stuff with SEO. One of your main motivators for a website redesign is to be discovered online. We know our stuff with SEO, and will apply that knowledge to your website.
2. We're thought leaders and frequently contribute to Forbes. Here's our articles. Here's a few thoughts on what to consider before investing in SEO. And, this article really helps describe our approach to SEO.
3. We're pretty easy to work with. You can view our customer testimonial video below from Brian Mohr, Y Scouts co-founder and Managing Partner. We've worked with Brian through multiple website development projects and have grown Y Scouts site traffic from 0 visits to more than 60,000 visits per month.
Here's the information we'll need:
- 1. Current Website Login
- 2. DNS Login Info
- 3. Google Analytics Access.
We'll also need a signed agreement and payment of 50% of the initial project cost.
You have full, 100% access and ownership of your website at the completion of the project.
Sometimes we receive calls from companies who have lost their website because an agreement expired. We believe that's the wrong way to do business.
Beyond full ownership, you will receive:
- WordPress administrative access
- FTP access
- Database access
- DNS settings access
