Building Your Website

Often times the first place a new potential client will gather information and first impressions of your business is online. Most judgements about your business are made within 15 seconds of a potential client being on your website. That first impression could make or break your chance of new clients reaching out to you. It is increasingly important that businesses establish an online presence and the first place to start is with a website.

Little Loft Media provides website development services for individuals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits. I can create user subscription sites, online brochure sites, blog sites, and more.

Maintenance

If you have a WordPress site, keeping your website components up-to-date is crucial for your site security. Most theme, plugin, and WordPress core updates are to patch potential security risks. For clients that already have an established website but do not have the time, knowledge or resources available to maintain their site and content, I offer website maintenance either on a retainer or charged per hour.  Maintenance can include updating themes, plugins,WordPress core, and your content. Maintenance packages are tailored to fit individual client need. Contact me to discuss options and pricing.

Training and Support

Little Loft Media offers WordPress training and support even if you had your site built by someone else. I make sure my clients understand how to add new pages, menu items, users, update plugins and themes, and more. While I am happy to provide maintenance services that include content updating, I believe a knowledgeable and empowered client is a happier client. All training is individualized to fit the needs of each unique client. Both on-site and remote training is available.

What Is Online Reputation Management?

In short, online reputation management is the process of what consumers find about you or your business online.

Why Does Online Reputation Management Matter For Businesses?

Lets face it— we live in a search-centric world. When we look for any kind of new service provider the first place we often look is online. We do a Google search and read the reviews, typically before we do anything else. That means that others are looking you and your business up online before deciding to do business with you.

Did you know that Google rewards the most recommended and positively reviewed businesses within their market area by ranking them higher in search engine results?

Online reviews impact almost 68% of consumers’ purchasing decisions.

Businesses risk losing about 22% of potential customers when they find a negative article on the first page of search results. That percentage climbs to 44% with two negative articles and then again to 59% with three. (Source: https://moz.com/blog/new-data-reveals-67-of-consumers-are-influenced-by-online-reviews)

Businesses need to take their online reputation very seriously. Understanding the importance of online reputation management is essential to the success of a local business online.

What Are Online Reputation Management Services?

Online reputation management services are the utilization of strategies that influence the public perception of an organization, individual, or other entity on the internet.

What Is A Virtual Assistant?

A virtual assistant (VA)  provides support services to other businesses from a remote location. They are especially in demand by solo-preneurs and other businesses that:

• Don’t want to or can’t bring on additional (or any) staff at their physical location
• Need a little extra help with day-to-day operations but not enough to justify hiring staff
• Have projects here and there that they need some help with
• Need to reduce overall workload

So many benefits come from hiring a VA, some of which are:

• Having an extra hand can drive business growth.

• Scalability of operations. You pick and choose when you need an extra hand.
• Increased leisure time!
