Nate Covington

I build websites that build businesses. 

Every month, my work is seen and used by hundreds of thousands of people.  I am available for hire with building new web sites, and managing existing sites, help with updates, consulting, new features, training, etc…  

I work with directly with business owners to build streamlined, effective web sites.  I also work with advertising agencies and marketing consultants on their clients' sites. 

The large majority of my projects are built using Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla, although I also support Magento, OSCommerce, and almost any other open-source platform.

Our Approach

We take a realistic approach to Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing.  This is a topic that is frequently overrated and oversold, so be careful. We have been approached by SEO firms (yes, offering to sell their services to another web design firm) as well as worked with SEO firms who claim to be "optimizing" your site on a monthly, ongoing basis - but in fact, they aren't doing a thing. 

Some truths about SEO:

  • If nobody is searching for your keywords, investing in SEO will not be able to gain you any extra clicks
  • Quality clicks will almost always deliver a better ROI than quantity clicks.  just because people can get you "more clicks" does not mean that it will be helpful.
  • Placement cannot be guaranteed.  Google's results are ordered based on their own (secret) algorithm.  SEO professionals take "educated guesses" at how the algorithm works, but Google keeps it a secret and is constantly changing it.

Pricing Structure

We work with all of our clients to develop the most effective compensation structure for both client and agency.  We can offer contract relationships, retainer relationships, and project relationships.  Out-of-pocket expenses (travel, courier, supplies, etc.) are billed to clients at cost.
