A modern website is more than just a digital business card—it’s your hardest-working employee. For small businesses, especially those with 1–10 employees, your website is often the first impression a potential client has of your brand. And in today’s online-first world, that first impression needs to be clear, professional, and built to convert.
An outdated or poorly designed site can send the wrong message—making your business feel behind the times, untrustworthy, or difficult to work with. On the flip side, a clean, mobile-optimized, and user-friendly website builds credibility, helps clients find the information they need, and guides them toward taking action—like booking your service or purchasing your product.
Modern websites also perform better with search engines. With SEO best practices in place, your site has a greater chance of showing up when people are searching for the services you offer in your area. That means more visibility, more leads, and more opportunities to grow your business.
At Alana Maria Creative, I design websites specifically for entrepreneurs and small business owners who need more than just something that “looks nice.” I focus on strategy, user experience, and thoughtful design—so your site doesn’t just exist, it works. Whether you're starting from scratch or refreshing a dated website, a modern site gives you the professional presence you deserve and the results your business needs.
Let’s make your website something you’re proud to share.
