Hi, my name is Annemarie. I started Acates Media Websites after freelancing web development services for clients who needed bugs/small issues on their websites fixed. When looking into these websites – I was met with chaos many times, while trying to fix a simple bug. Their sites were disorganized, blurry, overly complex. I sought out to change this.
I saw that service companies and organizations want a similar thing. They want a website that looks clean, is responsive to all screen sizes, works fast, that they can maintain as well as change easily and where clients/customers can find them. The website should work both as a place to showcase their company and projects, as well as draw new clients or community in. After years of experience in both website design and software development – I built a model to develop custom WordPress websites and make client sites responsive, informative, efficient, pleasing to look at, easy to maintain and will bring local clients your way.
Simplicity is important as well as clear direction, clear images and purpose. SEO and pagespeed are also key to make sure your clients and customers can always find you.
Working with clients, I realized communication makes for a successful business relationship. I will always get back to you that same day and sometimes immediately. I work to really listen to my website clients, making their vision visible on their website, exactly how they describe. Sometimes a vision can’t be articulated. So in those cases, I build my vision from any materials they have and what they describe their company to be – they can then tell me what to alter and change. I have been acknowledged for communication from past clients, as I think understanding is the key to success. Below are some reviews from websites i’ve developed in Acates Media Websites, as well as during freelance website development.
