At its core, SEO comes down to two things: how your website content is labeled and how easy your website is to use. Search engines need to understand what your content is about, but the people who find your website also need to be able to actually use it.

When functionality and SEO are built strategically together, your website can create more searchable content, better match search intent, organize and connect information, keep visitors engaged on your site, give them reasons to return, and make your business easier to manage.

When .studio, a design agency I really admire, needed support on one of their client's websites, I was excited for the opportunity to work together.

Sometimes it really just comes down to capacity and having another designer you trust to step in and keep a project moving.

It was a pleasure to work directly with their client on this lactation website, extending the existing branding across new pages and expanding their service offerings.

Partnering made this project a success, and a five-star review from their client was the best confirmation of that.

Here’s the thing about DIY website edits: accessibility isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ — it’s the law. The ADA applies to websites, not just physical locations, which means every update you make without knowing the standards (color contrast, alt text, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, etc.) could be putting your business at legal risk.

Most small business owners don’t realize this until they get hit with a demand letter or lawsuit.

Accessibility compliance requires you to make sure your site actually works for everyone who visits it.

Brand photos make all the difference! A recent website refresh included incorporating new brand photography for a therapy practice in Louisville with nearly 30 clinicians across four locations.

With a practice this size, the site is built to help visitors find the right clinician for their needs. Individual clinician profiles are filtered throughout the site, allowing visitors to find their therapist based on services, who they work with, and office location, with dedicated profiles to explore their background and approach. New resources are also added regularly and automatically feed into the most relevant pages throughout the site.

If it’s time to incorporate new photos into your website, visit smallbusinessstartupsolutions.com to get started.

Once your business has gained some momentum, investing in a professional branding photo shoot can give you a library of high-quality images to use across your website and all of your marketing.
