When people in Whatcom County search for what you do, do they find you? If not, here's why that matters and what we can do about it.
Here are three things that are probably happening right now with your potential customers.
A family moves to Ferndale. They search "restaurants near me." Your place has great food and loyal regulars, but no website. They find somewhere else instead, and they never know you exist.
A homeowner has a leak. They grab their phone and search. If your business doesn't come up, you're not even in the running, no matter how good your work is or how long you've been in business.
Plenty of people in Whatcom County actively want to shop local. But they search online first to find options. No website means they don't even know they have the option to choose you.
Totally fair. Here's an honest answer to each one.
Facebook is a great tool, but you're renting space on someone else's platform. They control who sees your posts, they change the rules constantly, and not everyone is on Facebook. A website is yours. No algorithm decides whether your hours show up. No platform can shut you down. And when someone Googles your business name, a real website is what they expect to find.
That's genuinely wonderful, and word of mouth is powerful. But your current customers aren't your only potential customers. Every person who moves to the area, every visitor passing through, every person a friend recommends you to, they all do what everyone does now: they Google you. If nothing comes up, some of them won't bother to dig further.
This one surprises most people. A simple, professional website starts at $200. Hosting runs $10 a month, which is less than most people spend on coffee in a week. Compare that to what you're probably spending on flyers, ads, or listings on other directories. A website works for you every single day, around the clock, without costing anything extra.
That's exactly what we're here for. You don't need to know anything about how websites work. We handle everything: the design, the build, getting it online, even the photography if you need it. You show up to a coffee meeting and tell us about your business. We take it from there.
It's not just a vanity project. A good website works hard for your business every single day.
Your hours, your location, your phone number, always available. Even when you're closed, your website is answering questions.
When someone searches for what you do in Whatcom County, a website gives you a real chance of showing up.
A professional website tells customers you take your business seriously. It builds trust before they even contact you.
Your photos, your values, why you do what you do. A website gives you space to connect with customers before they walk in the door.
People find you faster when your address, hours, and a map are all in one place. Less confusion, more foot traffic.
A clear phone number, email, or contact form means customers can get in touch without having to hunt around.
We've kept our prices low on purpose. A small local business shouldn't have to choose between a professional online presence and paying the bills.
And because we're local too, there's no awkward back-and-forth with a distant agency. We meet for coffee, figure out what you need, and build it together.
