A web designer in Lewiston, for Lewiston and Auburn businesses
I build websites for small businesses, and I do the work remotely, by email and phone, so you do not need to take an afternoon off for meetings.
What matters for a site here
- Customers who speak more than one language
- Lewiston has a large Somali and wider African community, and many families in Lewiston and Auburn have French-Canadian roots. If your customers would be better served by a page in Somali, French or another language, I can build it with the right language tags so browsers and screen readers handle it. You supply or approve the translation.
- A site that works on an older phone
- Not everyone has a new phone or a fast plan. I build pages that load fast on a weak signal and work on older devices.
- Your Google Business Profile, set up right
- For a search like "bakery Lewiston" or "mechanic Auburn ME", your Google Business Profile does much of the work. I check that it matches your site and show you how to keep it current.
What you get
- Plain words for your customers
- I write your site in plain words for the people who search for you, in the languages they use.
What the free check looks for
The free check reads your front page in a few seconds. These are the results that matter most here.
- No page language set, which matters more when some customers use a browser or screen reader in another language.
- No viewport tag, so the page shows as a shrunken desktop page on a phone.
- No structured data, so Google has less to go on for a local search.
- Images with no alt text.
- Served over plain HTTP.
Run the free check. The full review goes through every page for $9.
What you get, and what it costs
- You pay what you think the site is worth, from $100. It is the same site at every price.
- Every account, from the domain to the hosting, is in your name.
- It loads fast, works on every phone, and works with a screen reader and a keyboard.
- No trackers, and nothing about your customers is sold.
- If you want me to keep it safe and current, the care plan is $9 a month. It is optional.
Questions
- Do you meet clients in person in Lewiston or Auburn?
- Most of the work happens by email and phone, which saves you time. We can also talk by video.
- Can you build a site in Somali or French?
- I can build pages in other languages with the correct language tags. I do not translate them myself. You or a translator you trust supplies or checks the text.
- Do you only work with Lewiston–Auburn businesses?
- No. I work with small businesses anywhere in the US, remotely.
