Direct Access
You work with me directly through launch. No account managers, no handoffs.
Your website should not be the weak link.
Prospects evaluate your firm long before they book a call. If the site does not make your value clear, qualified ones move on. Here is what they weigh first:
- Whether you understand their specific challenges
- The outcomes and value your firm can provide
- Evidence of expertise, trust, and credibility
- Whether your experience is relevant to their situation
- Whether your approach feels tailored or generic
- How an engagement typically works
Why SEO Matters for Consulting
Prospective clients rarely search for a consultant in broad terms. They look for expertise tied to a specific challenge, industry, or outcome, then compare a small group of firms before deciding who feels most credible. Your website should make your relevance clear to both search engines and decision makers.
Focused Service Pages
Dedicated pages for each service, client type, or industry make it easier for prospects to recognize that your expertise matches their situation.
Proof of Expertise
Case studies, client outcomes, and specific examples show how you think, what you have solved, and why your firm is worth considering.
Clear Positioning
Strong messaging quickly explains who you help, what problems you solve, and the value clients can expect from working with you.
Search-Relevant Content
Useful, detailed content gives search engines context while answering the questions prospective clients have before they are ready to reach out.
The goal is not simply to attract more traffic. It is to help the right prospects find your firm, understand its value, and feel confident taking the next step.
About The Process
Five clear phases from first call to launch.
Starts with a one-on-one call to discuss your goals, audience, and the purpose of your website. This is where I learn what sets your business apart and what success looks like for you. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of the plan, and I'll have everything needed to put together a detailed proposal.
A no-pressure conversation with no commitment required to get started.
Just bring your ideas. A few reference sites or competitor examples help, but nothing is required.
After the call, you'll receive a detailed proposal with goals, scope, timeline, and pricing.
Once the proposal is approved, planning begins. I outline your site structure, content needs, project timeline, and relevant competitor insights. Before design begins, you'll know exactly which pages are being built, what content is required, and when each milestone will be delivered.
Every page planned before design begins so nothing gets missed.
I review what others in your space are doing so your site is positioned to stand out.
Priorities shift, and adjustments to the plan are easy to make before design work starts.
With the plan approved, I move into design. This phase is about establishing the right visual direction for your brand and getting alignment on the look and feel. You'll review mockups, share feedback, and sign off on the direction before development begins.
No revision caps within reason. Refinements continue until you're completely happy with the look and feel.
Colors, fonts, and visual style are locked in early so there's a clear direction going into development.
I can work with what you have or suggest colors, fonts, and visuals that fit your goals.
Once the design is approved, development begins. I build using modern, high-performance tools like Next.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring your site loads fast, looks great on every device, and follows SEO best practices. You'll receive progress updates and can preview the site in a private test environment before launch.
Built with Next.js and Tailwind. Includes a third-party speed report after development.
Connect analytics, contact forms, booking tools, and email marketing platforms.
Need to edit content yourself? I can integrate Sanity for easy, ongoing content management.
The launch phase is where everything comes together. Before going live, I thoroughly test your website across devices, browsers, and screen sizes to ensure everything performs flawlessly. I handle deployment, hosting setup, and performance configuration so your site launches smoothly.
Reliable, fast hosting with SSL, monitoring, backups, and light ongoing support.
Get Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 configured with your custom domain.
Google Analytics or similar tools set up so you can track traffic from day one.

Consulting Website Questions
The things people usually want to know before starting a project.
How long does it take to build a consulting website?
Most projects are finished in 2 to 4 weeks, but this varies drastically with scope. A focused site moves quickly, while a larger build with many service and location pages takes considerably longer. You'll have a realistic timeline before anything starts.
What should a consulting website include?
A strong consulting website should clearly explain who you help, the problems you solve, and the outcomes clients can expect. It should also include focused service pages, proof of expertise, a clear point of view, and an easy path to contact or book a consultation.
How do I get my consulting site to rank higher?
Publish useful, specific content that answers the problems your ideal clients are actively searching for. Support it with focused service pages, strong technical SEO, fast load times, and links from relevant, high-quality websites. Clear structure, credible expertise, and original insights can also help your firm appear in AI-powered search results and recommendations. Rankings and visibility improve over time as your website builds relevance, trust, and authority.
What actually drives more consulting inquiries?
Clarity, credibility, and relevance. Prospects need to quickly understand who you help, what problems you solve, and why your firm is qualified. A slow, vague, or generic website creates friction before they ever reach your contact form.
What if I already have a website?
I'll review your current site to identify what is working and what may be holding it back. If you already have valuable content, rankings, or search traffic, the transition can be planned carefully to preserve that value while improving the overall site.
Do I own the website when it's finished?
Yes. The domain, the code, and the content are yours. I register the domain in your name, or transfer an existing one, and everything I build stays with you if you ever decide to work with someone else.
Still have a question?
Happy to answer anything specific to your situation before you commit to anything.
