Websites By Rick Logo

Services I Offer

Website Planning and Design


This includes meetings or calls where I visit with you about your new website. We decide upon how many web pages are on the site, what the purpose of each page is, navigation menus, fonts and colors, text content, photos, and other graphics. Some clients want total control, while others have a general idea and want me to go from there with my creativity. Some clients want a straightforward website with only the essential information to promote their business, while others have a lot of content to share.



Website Building (HTML coding)


I create the website's HTML code using software on my computer. These powerful tools allow me to create stunning, functional websites tailored to your needs. My websites are “responsive,” meaning they look good and function correctly on all devices, such as desktop computers or small-screened smartphones.



Website Domain Purchase and Configuration


If you already own a domain name, we can use it. Alternatively, I can purchase and configure a new domain name for your new website. I can also handle yearly renewals. I will re-bill you for these expenses.


Website Hosting


I can provide website hosting and will administer your website. I use EverWeb hosting to host the websites I build for my clients. This hosting package has excellent performance and allows me to host additional websites very economically - and thus passing the savings on to my customers. Again, I will re-bill you for these expenses.


Website SSL Security Certificate Purchase and Configuration


With my EverWeb hosting package, an SSL certificate for your new website is included at no additional expense.


Custom Email Accounts


With my EverWeb hosting package, I can provide custom email accounts for your use. These email accounts use the same domain name as your website. For example, for the domain name “BearButteGardens.com,” I have an email account named “Rick@BearButteGardens.com.” This functionality is provided at no additional expense.



Website Search Engine Optimization (SEO)


I can optimize the SEO configuration of your new website, which will help potential customers find it. This functionality is part of the website-building process.



Google Business Profile Configuration


I can help you configure your Google Business Profile. This allows your customers to find your website - similar to SEO but different and better. Proper configuration of your Google Business Profile provides:

  1. Increased Visibility in Local Search Results (e.g., customers who search for “places to eat near me,” etc.)
  2. Improved Discoverability on Google Maps
  3. Enhanced Credibility and Trust (your potential customers are more likely to trust and engage with a verified Google Business Profile)
  4. Better Customer Engagement (e.g., click your phone number, send a message, customer inquiries, Q&A, etc.)
  5. Showcases your Business Information (e.g., business name, address, phone number, operating hours, website link, photos, etc.)
  6. Cost-effective Marketing (e.g., promoting events, special offers, etc.)
  7. Boosted Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
  8. Insightful Analytics (e.g., how customers find your business website, search terms they use, etc.)
  9. Encourages Customer Reviews
  10. Supports Special Features (e.g., Veteran-owned, Women-led tags, temporary closures, etc.)
