Website Development, Management, & SEO
This side of the business covers the “under the hood” component of the website. Keeping your site up and running as safely and securely as possible. There is actually a lot that happens behind the scene to keep a site online. Hosting, managing updates, security patches, SSL certificates, off-site backups, defense against hackers, renewals of yearly licenses.
For all of this I am here to help. If you choose to host with DWS the management service is required. At a monthly or annual cost, you will not need to think about your website except for when you want to make changes.
Website Hosting
In order to have a website online for everyone to access via the internet, you either must host the site from a local server (in your home or office) or pay a company to use their servers that they maintain. I recommend using a hosting provider.
If you choose to host through my hosting account, it is required that you utilize the Website Management Service. This is due to security problems and extra monitoring/maintenance that is required for hosting in this way.
Starts from $10/mo or $120/yr
Website Management Service
What doesn’t this include as far as a monthly or annual website maintenance plan goes? Included with this massive value is site backups, core/theme/plugin updates, use of any DWS owned licenses (for most sites this will save you at least the cost of the management service every year), security audits/site lockdown, uptime monitoring, monthly reports.
This service helps to prevent your investment from becoming outdated and vulnerable to attacks from hackers. Yes, hackers want to get into your site, and there are many reasons they would want to.
This is a required service if you choose to host your website through a DWS hosting account.
Starts from $20/mo or $240/yr
Security Audit / Lock Down
Most people understand that the internet is a dangerous place but they truly do not understand why. The short answer, there are a lot of benefits of being able to take over someone’s website. This service will prevent 99.99999% of every hacker’s attempt, as long as the rules that are given to you are followed after the service is performed.
Let me give you one of the rules for free. Passwords, they are like the keys to the safe at the back right? Would you want one of those super-cheap luggage locks with the key that you can replace with a paperclip or a key that is so complex that when you look at it makes you go… HOW DID THEY EVEN MAKE THIS KEY?
Your passwords should be a super random string of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols with a minimum of 16 characters. For example, zwG%cb5&!jW$J6^QzH*q would be a great password (do not use this exact password!).

Hands-on SEO Education/Training
SEO is also known as Search Engine Optimization. Okay, so what does that mean? Well, how do you put all your content together on your website in such a way that Google will scan it and go hmmm this is going to be valuable information to these people over here that search for this query? This is what SEO is all about. While the principles are simple, in practice this can be a difficult skill to build until one day it will just click.
A free secret, anything that you do to your site today will not really show results from Google for roughly 6-10 months. So while content is king so can be patients.
Starts from $100
Custom E-Mail Addresses
Nothing pops out to your customers as unprofessional as an email address that does not end in your website domain. Say you had a customer that was going to spend $59,000 for a kitchen remodel and then their invoice is emailed to them from dannyfishin4345@aol.com.
Dan@BestKitchens.com would be way more professional. We have been able to get away with these little mistakes in the past but customers have become more aware and more particular.
When hosting with DWS it’s FREE!
Starts from $25 if self-hosted
Frontend
Website Design, Monetization & Brand
The flow of your website, incorporating consistent branding, and managing effective sales funnels that are all aimed at helping your customers solve their problems. This should be the focus of the design for your website. No matter what business you are in, solving a customer’s problem and creating true value should be any businesses first priority.
On the other side of this, your website should be able to provide you with some form of return on investment (ROI) if not multiple. Helping to come up with multiple strategies to increase revenue is never a bad idea.

How should all the information about your business be displayed and organized throughout your website? This is a very important question. Your customers expect to be able to find the information they are looking for quickly. If they cannot, they will bounce to the next site.

Logos need to be memorable, the goal is to have this one little picture that you will end up putting on all over your business burn into your customer’s memory. When someone sees your logo you want them to think of you, without hesitation.

Website Redesign
If you currently own a website for your business or passion but feel that you need a redesign that may be completely understandable.
I recommend that you freshen up your website every month or two with minor changes, and every year making some medium sized changes. A lot can change on the internet in a short amount of time. Depending on your design I would recommend every 5 years going through your website to keep everything looking current and modern.
To Recap
- Every 1-2 months perform minor updates.
- Once per year update one or two sections of the site.
- At around 5-years plan on a large overhaul.

Having a website where you can charge your members a monthly or yearly fee to access your content can be a great source of revenue. This would be a valuable monetization strategy if you had a large social media following and a loyal fan base or where a non-profit organization. You would be able to offer support plans where your visitor’s credit card will automatically be charged at the level that they signed up for.

Create an Online Course
Teaching is a wonderful passion and if you have the gift to teach you should share that with the world. People love to learn and the feeling of bringing people value makes teaching even better.
Creating courses for people to complete can be monetized by either selling each course separately or by merging that with a membership site where different levels of membership will get you different groups of course based on however you want to set up the website.
