Advantages of WordPress for Small Business Web Design
I focus exclusively on the WordPress Content Management System for all my small business web design projects and here’s why I love using WordPress for website development:
Extensive features available – WordPress is extremely flexible, so your website can be whatever you need it to be. With an extensive library of powerful WordPress plugins, advanced features can be added as needed such as a calendar, email marketing integration, member directory, and so much more. This means you can start with a small, basic website and add features over time as your business grows.
Lots of web design customization options – Since WordPress is so customizable, I can use with a high quality WordPress theme and customize it for your business, or create a custom design. Your budget dictates the best option for a project.
Used on millions of websites worldwide – There is an extensive community supporting WordPress from all over the world, so you can be confident in using this platform for your small business website.
WordPress is SEO friendly – WordPress was built with SEO in mind, and there are SEO plugins (software) that can be easily added to a website to optimize it for search engines.
Easy to use – it’s easy to create new webpages, and since WordPress is so widely used, you can find tutorials on every aspect of WordPress.

Web Design Frequently Asked Questions
Websites are built using a variety of technologies, so I would need to examine your website before I could answer this question. I am exclusively a WordPress web designer, so if your website is already in WordPress or you are open to having it moved to WordPress, I can help you. In this case, if your website is poorly structured or has errors, I would recommend my WordPress Web design Services to redesign the site to ensure it is mobile firendly, and performance and SEO optimized.
All my websites incorporate SEO best practices to improve website visibility via the search engines. If a client wants to improve website rankings of an existing website, I perform a thorough SEO audit of the site to analyze SEO issues. The results of the audit determine what changes are needed to improve website rankings.
I do not offer web hosting services, but I provide recommendations on reputable web hosting companies based on your budget. I don’t offer web hosting, because I want you to own your web hosting, not Thomson Web Services. I have worked with clients in the past who had web designers that owned or controlled access to the client’s web hosting provider, and this makes it difficult to transition to a different web designer.
This depends on the complexity and scope of a website design project. In general, small websites take between 2 to 4 weeks while larger, more complex website projects require additional time. Once we discuss your website requirements, I can provide you with an estimated timeframe.
The cost of a web design project depends on the features needed for a website and overall project scope and complexity. Once we discuss your project requirements, I can provide you with a quote for my WordPress Web Design Services. That said, my smallest projects typically start somewhere between $1,500 to $2,000.
Yes, I provide web design services to businesses in the metro Atlanta area and all across the US. If you are local to my area, I am happy to meet with you to discuss your project. Otherwise, we can meet online via Zoom or another video conferencing platform. Communication is very important to me, so regardless of whether you are local or not, we’ll keep in close communication during the web design project to ensure the project proceeds smoothly.
I require 50% up front in order to start a project with the remaining balance due when the website project is complete.
