Marketing Services

Growth Marketing Plan

The concept of growth marketing works in three phases: researching the target audience, building content around those audiences, and tracking conversions. In order to craft your plan, we need to deeply understand your business and build out visitor profiles in order to create content around those personas. If you’re not already a web design client, we’ll charge a small onboarding fee to ensure we understand your business inside and out.

Content

Based on the research in your target market and search analytics, we have the ability to create a content plan to help achieve your business goals.

The strategy for these services include but are not limited to:

  • SEO (search engine optimization) research for low hanging fruit opportunities.
  • A quarterly content plan with suggested weekly posts.
  • Content optimization for headlines, length, publishing, and SEO.
  • Video strategy, production and editing.
  • Podcasting/Audio strategy, production, and editing.

Content Distribution

Distribution is key for any piece of content created. After your content is live, you have the option for a variety of distribution strategies:

  • Social media sites to include Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.
  • Email marketing campaigns to target segments in your industry.
  • PPC ad campaigns through Google, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Based on our discussions with you, our team will develop a suggested quarterly content calendar + distribution strategy to be implemented across your channels.

Regardless if we handle the creation and/or distribution of your content, it is recommended that you place an internal staff member in charge of monitoring your various social media pages and campaigns. This person would be responsible for replying to comments, answering questions/messages, and any other customer service related activities.

While we provide insight into each of these platforms, should you want us to handle creating content and the distribution of that content, we will quote that separately based on your unique needs. Our team won’t publish anything outside of a predetermined content calendar however we are happy to consult on growth marketing strategies you can utilize in the future that may fall outside of our suggestions.

Analytics & Reporting

We cannot guarantee any improvement to a search engine ranking, nor can we promise to get a site higher up or to the ‘top of Google’, but we build every site and article in a way that is accessible to search engines in an effort to increase its chances.

In addition to growth marketing plans, our team can also integrate Google Analytics + other visitor tracking tools which give us insight to your web traffic. Using these various data points, we can see what’s performing well, what needs improvement, and more. Based on your preference, these reports can be sent on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.

If you desire a more personalized approach, we have options to upgrade to a more detailed analysis that includes a variety of data points and strategy calls to review our findings—which can be provided in a separate quote.

Web Design + Development Services

We create look-and-feel designs and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. Unless this is categorized as a “rush project” you’ll have plenty of opportunities to review our work and provide feedback.

Based off of your choices, here are the following parameters:

  • Template-based web projects: Choice between Divi library of templates. You’ll choose the one you like the best and we’ll integrate your pages into the new design. Two rounds of edits are included for every page. Should your requests be outside the scope of text/image changes, we will create a separate estimate for that.
  • Custom web project: Our web designer will conduct industry research along with comparative sites in your niche and/or recommendations to create an ideal web experience for your viewers. You’ll be able to provide feedback on these pages until the design is approved. Once approved, we will integrate these pages into the framework of your new website.

If at any stage, you change your mind about what you want to be delivered and are not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for the time we’ve spent working with you until that point and terminate this contract.

HTML, CSS and JavaScript

We deliver web page types developed with HTML markup, CSS stylesheets for styling and unobtrusive JavaScript for feature detection, poly-fills and behaviors.

Additional Features

Along with the creation of your predetermined pages, we make sure every website we build is mobile responsive and has the capability to grow as your business grows. All of our sites also include setup or integration of Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and technical SEO capabilities. Should you want advanced analytics tracking or help with SEO implementation + strategy, we’re happy to provide a separate quote for those services.

Browser testing

Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.

We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Edge), and Mozilla Firefox. We’ll also test to ensure that people who use Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 for Windows get an appropriate experience. We won’t test in other older browsers unless we agreed separately. If you need an enhanced design for an older browser, we can provide a separate estimate for that.

Mobile browser testing

Mobile browser testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using.

We test our designs in: Apple’s Safari iOS and Google’s Chrome browser on iOS and Android.

We won’t test in Blackberry, Opera Mini/Mobile, older Android devices, Windows or other mobile browsers unless we agreed separately. If you need us to test using these, we can provide a separate estimate for that.

Technical support

You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up your site on our server with a monthly services plan. Unless agreed separately, the updates and management of any site/project not on our server will be up to you.

Changes and revisions

We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind on any of our projects however certain limitations are needed. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the number of hours we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible.

For template pages/designs, you’re allowed two rounds of revisions + changes for the entirety of the project.

However, for custom designed work, we allow an unlimited amount of changes until you’re satisfied with the outcome.

If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for those additional items that fall outside of the original scope of work.

We also require a timely response within 10 business days for all feedback requests. Should you take longer than a calendar month to respond, we reserve the right to charge a ‘Pause Clause Fee’ to restart your project. Because our business must keep moving, updated milestones will be based on the new availability made known when the project restarts.

Website Hosting

Hosting a website works a lot like online file storage. Provided you stay within a certain file size radius, your hosting costs will remain the same throughout the year. Included in each hosting plan is an SSL certificate, CDN, security monitoring, backup storage, and near 100-percent uptime promise.

All hosting agreements require an initial 12-month subscription payable on a monthly or annual basis. Each payment option requires a valid credit card to be kept on file and automatically charged on the agreed upon date. After the 12-month period, your contract will automatically renew and billed according to the terms previously agreed to.

Should you ever become dissatisfied with our service, you have the ability to cancel any time during the 12-month subscription provided we have 30-days notice and a percentage-based cancellation fee is paid. This cancellation fee can be calculated by taking your monthly services & solutions plan cost, divide that cost in half, and multiply this number by the amount of remaining months left on your contract. This fee must be paid prior to the exchange of any website files.

The 30-day notice provides us with ample time to determine your cancellation fee, create backups of your site, and deliver your files before the 30-day expiration date. After the 30-day expiration date, we reserve the right to remove all website files from our server.

Website Maintenance

Without regular updates to your website, it could pose a security threat to your company and its visitors. Therefore, with any WordPress website on our platform, monthly maintenance is required to themes, plugins, custom features, and applications.

This maintenance can be scheduled manually for off-peak hours to avoid any potential downtime during operating hours and is included in your hosting bill.

Even with regular maintenance, websites can experience glitches that require additional support. While this happens occasionally, we include support requests per month which cover minor issues and requests. If any of these take longer than an hour to solve, you’ll be billed on an hourly basis and invoiced separately at the end of the month.

  • Hosting and Maintenance of a landing page includes: 1 text change to existing content per month and 1 existing image change per month. Managed WordPress Hosting also includes daily backups and built-in reporting.
  • Maintenance of a website 9 pages and lower includes: Unlimited text changes to existing content and up to 15 image changes per month to existing images. Managed WordPress Hosting also includes daily backups and built-in reporting.
  • Maintenance of a website 10 pages and higher includes: Unlimited text changes to existing content and up to 25 image changes per month to existing images. Managed WordPress Hosting also includes daily backups and built-in reporting.
    • Any additional images/product changes beyond the included will be charged at a per product/image rate.
    • Any new functionality changes to sites will need to be scoped out and charged at a per hour rate.
    • The monthly charge DOES NOT include maintaining or integrating emails.
    • Turnaround time for images and text is 5 business days
    • Your monthly allotment of changes does not accrue and is under a “use it or lose” policy

Any large issues will always be communicated to you with proper notice; unless it’s an emergency that requires immediate attention or other arrangements are made. All support and design requests are usually responded to within five business days but if the issue requires more time, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Graphics and photographs

Whether you’re purchasing a Marketing Services or Website Design+Development, image sources and graphics for your project are your responsibility to provide.

You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format or PNG format with transparent background. You should supply photographs in a high-resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. Alternatively, there are websites with media libraries to select free images and graphics from.

Should you want us to source images for you we can provide a separate quote for that.

Legal Stuff

We’ll carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience.

That said, we can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them.

Your liability to us will also be limited to the amount of fees payable under this contract and you won’t be liable to us or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if we’ve advised you of them.

We also understand that sometimes relationships start off with the best of intentions but might not go as planned. So if either party, for any reason, decides this working relationship isn’t in their best interest, either side can choose to terminate this contract with a 30-day notice.

Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

You’ll own the website we design for you plus the visual elements that we create for it. We’ll give you source files and finished files and you should keep them somewhere safe as we’re not required to keep a copy. You own all intellectual property rights of text, images, site specifications and data you provided, unless someone else owns them.

We’ll own any intellectual property rights we’ve developed prior to, or developed separately from this project and not paid for by you. We’ll own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we’ll license its use to you, unless we agree otherwise.

Displaying our work

We love to show off our work, so we reserve the right to display all aspects of our creative work, including sketches, work-in-progress designs and the completed project on our portfolio and in articles on websites, in magazine articles, and in books.
