The websites I typically do are built and run on the WordPress (self-hosted) platform. I take this route because it makes it very easy for you or your colleagues to take control of your data and the ability to to keep it updated without relying on me, saving you time and money! In the healthcare industry and/or will be needing to host items that could include patient data? I can help! My servers are specifically located in Canada for this reason – to better serve the Canadian healthcare industry and other industries where personal data must be stored within Canada. If you have additional technical and legal requirements that must be met for your industry, feel free to contact me and I’ll make it happen.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) is critical to visitors finding your website. Without effective SEO, search engines such as Google and Bing will have trouble finding your website, delays in crawling it for changes, lower rankings in search results, and much more. Each website will come with basic SEO at the time of design, but I can offer several different types of SEO with advanced capabilities: Website : Ensuring the website itself is capable of allowing search engines to crawl its pages and content, and eliminating any possible crawl errors that can occur.

: Ensuring the website itself is capable of allowing search engines to crawl its pages and content, and eliminating any possible crawl errors that can occur. Localization : Ensuring your business contact info can be found and is consistently written across popular local and review-focused websites where people go to find local businesses such as Yelp, Foursquare, Facebook Places, Google Businesses, and more.

Social Media : Ensuring data consistency across all social media profiles, adding in any missing information, and more.

Content: Working with you to build content and a long-term game plan for adding to the content pile at a rate that is expected in your specific industry which can get the most focus on your business from various places across the web. Ideally, all three would be worked on and improved as in most cases these are all related and help contribute to one another for the ultimate “online brand” to be found online. However, if time and money is a constraint, we can work together to determine what the best focus would be so you get the best bank for your buck. I don’t like selling something I can’t back or something a client does’t actually need, so you can expect a lot of honest advice from me to ensure you can succeed with your online adventures.
