Why Interested Visitors Still Leave Without Contacting You

October 5, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

Someone finds your website. They read your services page. They look at a few projects. They seem genuinely interested. Then they leave without contacting you.

Your Website Needs Evidence, Not Claims

September 28, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

“Trusted.” “Experienced.” “High quality.” “Exceptional service.” Look at almost any business website and you’ll find those words.

How Much Does a Marketing Strategy Cost?

June 30, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

QUICK ANSWER Strategic marketing advising is priced per month and starts around $2,500 for most small businesses. You get a 90-day strategy roadmap rather than a one-time document, billed monthly. The 90-day window is short enough to adjust and pivot if something needs to change, and your price depends on how much guidance and execution […]

A Real Example: Why Location Pages Work

June 9, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

We recently worked on a local painting company website and added dedicated location pages for three communities they wanted to reach more intentionally: Leland, St. James, and Figure 8 Island. These pages were not created as templated SEO pages with the same copy repeated over and over.

Why Your Website Isn’t Generating Leads

June 2, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

Two questions to ask before you decide what to do about it Your website gets visitors, but the leads don’t come. The form stays quiet, and the phone doesn’t ring. Before you guess at a fix, it helps to know where visitors are getting stuck, because the answer points you to what your site needs. […]

May 17, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

If Your Marketing Team Is Always Asking “What Should We Post?” – Start Here Quick Answer If your marketing team keeps asking, “What should we post today?” it’s a strategy problem, not a creativity problem. The fix is a simple three-part system: choose three content pillars, build a library of real customer questions, and set […]

Do I Really Need Website Maintenance for My WordPress Website?

May 2, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

Do You Really Need Website Maintenance for Your WordPress Website? Most business owners launch a website and assume it will keep working. After all, once it’s live, the hard part should be done.

April 6, 2026 Design Interventions No comments yet

The Game Is Changing Faster Than Most Businesses Realize I had the opportunity to spend time with Marcus Sheridan recently, and one idea stood out immediately: We’re moving from the prompt era to the agentic era. For the past couple of years, most businesses have been experimenting with AI by asking it questions: Write me […]
