Trend Setter Package
Our Trend Setter Package is unique in that it offers even the smallest businesses the marketing power of a much larger business. We do this by combining all of our services into one low cost monthly package, which ensures your Internet properties are updated regularly every month.
Think of it this way; You open a business and want some customers. So, you put out a sign. Then, you want some more business. So, you put out a sign down the street, then two streets over, then out on the freeway, and pretty soon you have them all over town. People now know about you even if they have never been in your store or used your services.
This is exactly what we do for you via the Internet. Beginning with a website, we add a blog, a monthly (or more often for some businesses) email newsletter, social networking in Facebook, Twitter, Linked-in. Next we add a YouTube channel and video is included. We help you get found. Last is our own consulting to help you get the best of our services and more.
We do this in a systematic way, which allows us to keep the cost low. Now, virtually every business can afford to look like a much larger business.
Each business is different. Give us a call to talk about your specific business. We will let you know how little it takes to get started right away.

Your Homepage Isn’t a Billboard—It’s a Welcome Mat
Your homepage isn’t there to impress everyone. It’s there to speak directly to the people you want to work with. That means clarity over cleverness, and structure over noise.
Within the first few seconds, your visitor should know:
- Who you are
- What you do
- Who it’s for
Want fewer bounces and more bookings? Start with your message. Say less, more clearly.

Your Homepage Isn’t Just a First Impression—It’s a First Filter
People don’t scroll to figure it out—they scan to decide if it’s worth staying.
That’s why your homepage should act like a filter: attracting the right people and gently guiding the rest away. Clear messaging, purposeful layout, and one focused call-to-action help your ideal clients feel instantly understood.
You’re not trying to say everything—you’re trying to say the right things, right away.
Less noise. More direction. That’s how strong homepages work.

Content That Connects (and Converts)
Design gets them in the door—content gets them to stay. The words on your site should speak to your ideal customer’s needs, questions, and goals. That means less jargon and more clarity, empathy, and value.
A skilled designer works with a strategic copywriter to make sure every message builds trust and nudges people toward action. Because the right words on the right page? Game changer.
Say what matters. Write with purpose. Build real connection.
