Where Most People Are
You started it because there was something you had to build. A business you believed in. A congregation to gather. An idea that wouldn't leave you alone.
Nobody mentioned that you'd also need to be an SEO person. And an ads person. And now an AI person.
Here's what I actually hear, and it's almost never about keywords:
I don't know if any of this is working.
I don't know what to do next.
I'm not sure who to trust to tell me.
That's not a marketing problem. That's the weight of carrying something alone.
The organizations doing the most good are usually the worst at talking about themselves. That's not a flaw—it's part of why they're trustworthy. But it means the loudest site wins the search. Not the best one.
I don't think that's how it should work.
What's at Stake
Somebody typed “churches near me” on a Tuesday night. They were looking for exactly what you have. They found someone else.
A nonprofit sits on $10,000 a month in free Google advertising and spends $800 of it.
A business owner pays for a website for three years that has never once brought in a call.
None of it is dramatic. That's what makes it easy to live with. It just quietly costs you the people you were built to reach.

Who You're Working With
I'm Jon. Twenty years in this—Red Hat, BibleProject, NewSpring Church, and a long list of nonprofits and congregations you've never heard of. I've taken sites from zero to hundreds of thousands of people reached through search.
But the thing people tell me about afterward is usually the conversation.
I'm not going to hand you a report full of things you can't act on. I'd rather hear what you're actually trying to build, then tell you the truth about what it will take.
Sometimes that means you don't need me yet. I'll tell you that too.
Jon works as an SEO consultant in Clayton, NC, offering SEO consulting in Raleigh, as well as Strategic Advisory across the Triangle.
The Plan
A free scan of your site. Plain language, no jargon, no pitch. You'll know where you stand in about five minutes.
One conversation. You tell me what you're building. I tell you the two or three things that will actually move it.
Not forty things. The one that matters most—worked through together, or taken off your plate entirely.
Our prices are published on this site. No proposal built to hide the number, no contract required to start, and nothing you have to nod along to without understanding.
Who We Help
We work with people at every stage—from first idea to established organization.
You have something built but traffic has stalled, your website is underperforming, or you're ready for the next level of growth.
For small business owners
You need to grow your online presence, reach more people, and build a digital strategy that actually works for your mission.
For nonprofits & ministries
You have a business idea, nonprofit vision, ministry calling, or creative project—and you need a practical plan to make it real.

Wix and Squarespace are good tools for a site that sits there. But the cost of building something custom has fallen through the floor, and the question for your website has changed: is it adapting, is it flexible, does it show up in AI search, and do you own it? Six questions to run against your own site, and what a managed platform with custom flexibility looks like now.
A touring guitar tech in Goldsboro, NC had expert tuning methods and no way to share them beyond the bench.

The best church website design companies aren't the ones with the flashiest portfolio. They're the ones that tell you the price, the timeline, and whether you'll own the site before you sign anything. Here's an honest, fact-checked comparison of twelve firms, ours included.
