Website design

Websites that convert to leads

We’ve designed more than 300 websites since opening the doors of Green Chair in 2000. We love creating websites that cause a reaction. That’s what we want to do for you. We want to move visitors to action — through the design, structure, images, and content. If you want a site that gets you results then it’s important to talk with someone with the experience and skills to produce a great site for you.

My Process

Website planning

I want to make sure your site has a good foundation. I spend time planning your site structure, content,website design, and calls to action to ensure a successful website.   

Content writing

You are busy working on your business so I will write content for your site. I’ll use content from your current site and any supporting material you provide to create unique content.

WEbsite design

I will design your site to reflect your company’s colors and style. During the planning phase, I ask for examples of websites you like that you may want to emulate. When done I will launch it on a secure, fast server with daily backup.

WordPress Training

I provide in-person or Zoom training on how to use WordPress. You will also receive a personalized written manual. But I’m always just a phone call away if you get stuck. Or you can just have me make your ongoing changes for a fee.

"We had been trying to get a presence on the web for a few years before I met Dave. He was able to take all of our information and create a website, at a reasonable cost, which is everything we could have hoped for. I hope that our new web presence will be the extra kick our business needs."

How long will it take to design my website?

What are your rates?

My hourly rate is $125 per hour. A typical 5-10 page websites are $3500-5000.

What kind of content will I need to provide you with?

I would need any photos and videos you’d like to use. I will be pulling together the content so it would be great to get any written content you have. If I’m redesigning your website, I’ll pull all the content from the current site and bring it into a Google Doc to edit and add onto.

How will I be able to make changes to my website after it is designed?

Since the site will be in WordPress, you will be able to make changes from any browser. There is no software to download. I’ll train you on how to use WordPress. But I’m also just a phone call away if you run into trouble and am happy to help.

What kind of support will I receive after my website is launched?
What are your guarantees?

I have a 60-day warranty on the function of the website. I’ll fix any form or function that isn’t working correctly. This does not include adding new pages or new functionality. I can give you a quote on that if you realize you need something else added to the site.

Can you help me with SEO and marketing my website?

We provide SEO and marketing for companies that market themselves to a local vicinity. If you have a website that requires a national presence, we can introduce you to some trusted partners.

Are you able to provide me with hosting and maintenance services?

Yes. We have a great hosting company that has fast servers, daily backups, good support, and provides security protection from malware.

What are your payment terms?

I require a one-half deposit before starting work and then the remainder upon launching of the site.
