First we meet with you to talk about your business, your target market, your goals and past experiences. This helps us get to know you and come up with a comprehensive plan for your website that will help ensure its success.
After we have a plan, Design TLC helps you create the content for your website to ensure it is communicates your message and helps you get found on the internet. We then incorporate this content into a design that fits your brand.
We create a custom theme for WordPress which is built for speed, security and search engine optimization. We can teach you how to update your website and follow up with testing to make sure your website is performing well.
Castle Goods had a website that was built with their hosting company's website builder. It was not built for e-commerce and did not have a design that matched the quality of their products. Design TLC created an e-commerce site that is designed to sell products that have a lot of customization and personalization.
Dogfish Head Alehouse has 3 locations in the Washington, DC area. They had a website that offered limited design and editing options, and was hard to work with. Design TLC created a WordPress website that advertises their many events, and communicates that character of the brand.
When you create a new website, your relationship with your website designer and developer is important. Tara takes her relationship with all of her clients very seriously. In addition to becoming part of the team, Tara also considers her clients to be her friends.
An expert problem solver, Tara is super responsive and easy to work with. She has a marketing background, combined with design and website coding expertise. She listens to you, to learn what you have in mind for your identity, and takes care to create an image that fits your brand personality while also helping to achieve your marketing goals.
We have worked for over two years with Tara. She works with us like she has a stake in our business ... responding sometimes within minutes. She understands our business and branding and gives us creative and professional work which our guests love. On the technical front, Tara has completely revamped our website and upgraded our internal and external communications. We have over a dozen different ways to talk with our guests through social media and she has helped us improve all of them and has added some we didn't even think of. We consider her part of our team."
I am absolutely thrilled with the website that Tara created for me! She immediately "got" me and the ideal client that I was trying to attract and relate to. In fact a new client found me via my website and she said my site looked "elegant and inviting, I felt I got your personality right away." I can't think of a better way to describe it myself! Even better, as I am a technophobe, Tara suggested things I would not be aware of, such as SEO set up and automating my backup, updates and scans. It is wonderful to have that all taken care of for me! Thanks, Tara!
I have worked with Tara for many many years. First as a graphic designer designing our company logo, letterhead, business cards and brochures. Then as businesses moved into the 21st century Tara began website design and was, always has been and continues to be helping me keep my business up to date with the latest technology! This has freed me to pay attention to client care and staff supervision and training which is the most important aspect of my job.
Tara is helpful prompt and professional. I have always felt that my graphic and website management needs were met with the highest standards. I wholeheartedly recommend TLC, you will wonder why you waited so long!
I have recommended Tara to several clients and colleagues, because I know they will get a quality, clean and user friendly new website (or update) in the shortest possible time for a fair price. Tara is experienced, fast and so responsive, I've now hired her again to redo my own site!
