Steven M.

Your website should be your best salesperson. For most businesses, it isn't. If your site looks fine but the phone isn't ringing, you don't have a design problem. You have a conversion problem, and it costs you leads every day. I build WordPress websites and landing pages with one job: turning visitors into calls, form submissions, and sales. Many projects launch in as little as a week. WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME (AND HIRE ME AGAIN) • Top Rated with 100% Job Success. • I'm a marketer who builds, not a developer who guesses. I spent 16 years running operations and sales for a Salt Lake County based office serving lawyers and law firms. I'm a certified Miller Heiman sales trainer. At Amazon I was a top-performing recruiter, making 17 hires against a quota of 7. I know what makes a buyer say yes, and I build that into every page. What clients say: "Steven is, without question, the best Upwork professional I have ever worked with." "He asked all the right questions and then some we had never considered." "Went over and above... I would 100% use Steven's services again." WHAT YOU GET • A site built around your goal. We define the one action that matters, map how your visitor gets there, and build the architecture to support it. No stacking plugins and hoping for the best. • Speed Google rewards. PageSpeed Insights scores above 85 on mobile and 90 on desktop. Faster pages rank higher and lose fewer visitors. • Mobile-first design, tested on real phones, not just a browser preview. Tap targets, font sizes, and navigation are checked where your customers actually are. • SEO from day one. Rank Math (or Yoast) configured, keyword-targeted titles and meta descriptions, and clean structure search engines can read. • Copy that sells. I sharpen your headlines, offers, and calls to action so the words work as hard as the design. • A site you can run yourself. A written or recorded walkthrough shows you how to edit pages, publish posts, and make routine changes without paying a developer. • Communication you can count on. Replies within 4 hours during waking hours (Mountain Time), progress updates on a set schedule, and I never ghost a project. I don't call a project done until those benchmarks are met and you're 100% happy with the result. WHAT I BUILD • Custom WordPress sites in Bricks (my first choice for speed), Breakdance, or Elementor • Landing pages for ads, launches, and lead generation • FluentCart stores and checkout flows; WooCommerce if you'd rather • Redesigns, speed fixes, malware cleanup, and lead-intake improvements for existing sites • Business email and DNS fixes, often solved the same day Recent clients include an insurance agency, a tree care company, a counseling practice, and a sports training event. BEFORE WE START, TELL ME 1. Who is your ideal customer? Age and audience shape design choices. 2. Which device do they use most? I'll test there first. 3. What should a visitor do: call, fill out a form, or buy? Send me your goal. I'll outline the structure to get you there, free, before any work begins. TOOLS I RECOMMEND (NO AFFILIATE LINKS, JUST WHAT WORKS) • Hosting: xCloud. Fast, flexible, and the best value in WordPress hosting. • Domains and DNS: Cloudflare.

Breakdance if you want more hands-on control. • Email sending: Amazon SES (practically free) with the FluentSMTP plugin. • Forms: Fluent Forms. Inexpensive and powerful. • SEO: Rank Math.
