Senior-led website team
Start with your business
A call with the senior team covers your goals, your challenges, what you like about your current site and what you want from the new one. Then SFM researches your competitors: what they promise, how their sites are built and where they leave an opening.
You also choose how involved to be. Review every step, or hand it off and approve at three check-ins: the page plan, the design and launch.
Map the pages and the content
SFM plans every page around the call, booking or purchase that matters most. Local service sites get service-area pages and tap-to-call numbers, and online stores get product, collection and checkout pages. Then SFM reviews your photos, video and copy and recommends what to keep, replace or add.
When the gaps are big, SFM shoots photos and video on site, and the same shoot feeds your social media and ads. Stock or AI-generated images fill any remaining gaps. The proposal includes a fixed quote and a timeline.
Custom design, reviewed on two screens
Every design is custom to your business, never a cookie-cutter template. You review each page on a phone and a desktop before building starts.
SFM’s website team is senior designers, developers and content creators, with the founders on the team. Every site is designed and built in-house, never outsourced.
Copy written for your buyers
SFM writes each page around the questions your customers ask, with SEO set up page by page. AEO, which prepares pages to be quoted by AI assistants like ChatGPT, is available on any build.
Plenty of small business websites look good in a pitch meeting and fail at the job that pays for them: getting a stranger to call, book or buy. The usual gaps: a site designed for desktop while buyers arrive on a phone, no tracking to show which page or ad produced a lead, and paid clicks landing on a homepage that answers none of the questions the buyer searched for. Every SFM build closes all three.
Built on the right platform
Most sites run on WordPress, hosted on WP Engine. Online stores run on WooCommerce or Shopify. SFM also offers AI-assisted builds with Claude, hosted on Vercel, with a senior designer reviewing every page.
For ads, SFM builds landing pages around one offer and the search terms that bring visitors in, and A/B tests the pages with enough traffic.
Connected and tracked on day one
Forms connect to your CRM or email platform, such as Mailchimp. Call tracking, Google Analytics 4 and the Meta, Google and TikTok pixels go live, and every page gets checked for speed and accessibility on desktop and mobile.
Most business sites launch six to ten weeks after the first call, and faster when feedback and content come back quickly.
Handled after launch
Most clients choose SFM’s monthly hosting and maintenance plan on WP Engine, which covers updates, backups and every security issue. Clients who want to run the site themselves get the keys and training.
SFM tracks where visitors drop off and fixes the pages that matter most, and the same team runs the Google and Meta ads that send traffic to the site.
