What all does Red Porch Agency offer?
We offer everything you need to create an incredible online presence: web design, photography, copy writing, videography, etc. We integrate the latest SEO strategies into every client website, and each site is optimized for complete browser and device compatibility.
If you’re a new business or your business needs a fresh look, we offer logo design and all the print designing to go along with it. This includes business cards, rack cards, brochures, labels, and just about everything else!
Do I actually need a business website?
YES. In 2022, having a professional-looking website specifically for your business is crucial. Among other benefits, here’s a few of the most important:
1. It quickly gives customers your important info. Have you ever looked up a restaurant, and find they only have a Facebook page and the menu is buried in their photos? Customers who can access important information quickly (contact, menus, services, etc.) are MUCH more likely to buy from that business.
2. It gives your business credibility. Customers know to do their research online before purchasing. So presenting your business as a legitimate and active online contributor in the form of a professional website and informative social media gives your customers peace of mind knowing they can trust you.
3. It drastically helps your SEO. SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) is all about how you rank in Google and Bing search results. The higher you rank = the more customers see you!
4. It provides mobile accessibility. At a time when over 50% of internet use is on a mobile device, your business website MUST be mobile-friendly. This means your navigation should collapse into an expandable icon, your horizontal content should rearrange vertically, and you shouldn’t have to scroll horizontally at all (among other mobile website necessities). Your website should give your customers a seamless user experience on every device.
Is a website expensive?
Because each Red Porch Agency client is different and has different needs, the cost of each project varies based on the functionality you want on your site, the number of pages, the amount of content you have (or don’t have), how you want your business set up in terms of SEO, etc. However, we offer effective web design solutions for each budget. Plus, we never charge for our initial meeting. We want you to work with Red Porch Agency and see the value we provide without pressure or worries. We also provide you a quote for your project after that initial meeting, so you know what your investment would be and if we’re the right agency for you.
I already have a domain- can I use that?
Usually, yes. If you’ve already purchased a domain from another provider (GoDaddy, Google Domains, etc.) that’s not a problem. There are some rare occurrences that hinder using a domain you’ve already purchased, such as if you’re locked into a long-term contract. But we’re happy to discuss all your options and provide recommendations and next steps!
How long does it take to build a website?
Anywhere from a week to a few months. This all depends on the size of the site, whether you have content already, if you need professional photography, etc. After our initial discussion, Red Porch Agency will provide you with an approximate timeline.
Have a tight deadline? No problem! For a small fee, we can expedite your web design process and get you online as quickly as possible.
