WE MAKE WEBSITES THAT ROCK!

Your website is such a crucial component to all of your marketing efforts. It should be the main attraction, the big kahuna, the ROCK STAR in your business's marketing mix. LUMN’s website design process produces just that — A superstar rockin’ out on the stage of your market.

As we build your website, we are hyperfocused on creating a powerful marketing tool that converts potential clients to scheduled clients. And we are well known for succeeding in this effort. In fact, you are probably reading this right now because a colleague or industry professional told you as much, and that you need to check us out.

Now our websites are beauties, for sure. But, LUMN websites also have the brains and brawn to make them the total package. As marketing experts, we understand and account for every reason that a potential client would visit your website. The result is that people find your website, enjoy their experience, and decide to contact you. Rock on!

YOUR WEBSITE IS THE HEADLINER IN YOUR
marketing show

When a potential client visits your website, you’re on stage. And our websites will help you blow the rafters off the venue. A rockstar website steals the show and will leave the other aspiring acts (competition in your market) feeling embarrassed to even face the crowd. Your visitors will chant “Encore! Encore!” by filling out and submitting a schedule request. You will be a legend! And your competitors will be forgotten.

The financial impact of your website on your business can be M A S S I V E. Your website can (and should!) generate tens of thousands, and in some instances hundreds of thousands, of dollars in revenue for your business every year.

When you are looking for a local business, do you pull out the yellow pages? No. You go online, check reviews, check websites, plan a time to visit, and then move on with your day. Promote your business where people are looking. Create and present your website like the showpiece it should be.

Your website is a faithful helper that never sleeps. That potential client that realizes they need your services at 2am will look online for a solution. When they do, your amazing website will be there to greet them, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. As for you… keep getting that beauty sleep.

WHY DO LUMN WEBSITES ROCK SO HARD?

Mobile focused

Did you know that you probably have more people viewing your website on a mobile device than on a desktop? Well, the search engines know this and are therefore heavily factoring mobile friendliness in their ranking algorithm. We got you covered on this front. LUMN was one of the first to roll out responsive-coded service websites. And we have kept advancing on the mobile front ever since. Every website we build is ready to rock ‘n roll on any mobile device.

scorching speed

Site speed is becoming increasingly important as consumers grow decreasingly patient. People just don’t care enough about what you have to say to wait five seconds to hear it. In other words, a consumer would rather go to an inferior business than wait a handful of seconds for your website to load. Sound extreme? It doesn’t matter if it sounds crazy because it’s the truth. Sluggish websites produce speedy exits. We’ve invested in the needed technology to make sure our websites live their lives in the digital fast lane. No one in the industry makes a speedier website than LUMN.

optimized

The structure of a LUMN website is flawless. We build every site so cleanly that search engines have no problem crawling and indexing them. We code a blog right into your website to provide a publishing platform for new and dynamic content. We structure the coded elements on your pages to load fast and function elegantly. In short, we study and implement the latest in website best practices to ensure your website is optimized for both users and search engines.

custom content

Search engines don’t take kindly to duplicate content (copywriting that is found verbatim on another site). But they ARE big fans of unique, visitor-engaging content. And usually, the more content the better. If the thought of writing page after page of content about your services sounds tedious to you, fear not! We’ve got a knack for writing fresh, customized content that expertly answers your potential clients’ questions in your distinct style. And better yet, the copywriting for your service pages is included in our website package. Sweet!

If you really want to get ahead in your market, we offer a fantastic content writing service.

Custom Design

Every website we design is tailored specifically to the client. We take the time to get to know your business, your client base, and your target market. We then craft a look and feel that speaks effectively and directly to your audience. This is such an important element in designing an effective website. A rural, down-to-earth market audience might not appreciate a high-end, chic aesthetic. And vice versa.

Compelling Video

Excellent video can be riveting for potential clients. It transforms your website from a digital brochure into a dynamic EXPERIENCE. A primary reason for potential clients visiting your website is to determine whether they feel comfortable with you. Quality video is orders of magnitude more impactful than text and photos at accomplishing just this. In short, our videos help convert potential clients into scheduled clients.

Editable

Do you need to make a change on your site, like… right now? No problem. We can set you up with your own login so you can make a change immediately if necessary. This is possible because we will build your website on the most popular CMS in the world: WordPress. However, most of our clients find our one-business-day turnaround time for content changes to be zippy enough.

the LUMN Website Building Process

Two of the most common questions we get about our website development process are: 1) What does the process look like? 2) How long does it take to finish?

Let’s tackle the second question first. We can launch one of our master sites within 2 weeks and one of our bespoke sites within 8 weeks. That’s FAST for custom work. But hey… that’s how we roll. Now, a big factor in us being able to finish this quickly is the client’s responsiveness. If you’re AWOL for a week after we’ve asked for your input on an element of your new website, that will push the whole project back. If you are snappy in your responsiveness, we can have your killer new website serenading your market in no time.

3. copywriting

While our design team is working on the aesthetic of your new website, our writing team will compose prose that your market and the search engines will love.

We’ll write persuasive passages that help get you found and convince your website visitors that you are the business for them.

Pricing

LUMN is NOT the cheap option. Quality, custom website design takes time, skill, and expensive tools. (There’s always someone that can do it cheaper… right?)

The silver-lining here is that our top-tier websites are priced much more competitively than other groups claiming to offer a similar caliber website. That being said, we know that you don’t have a bottomless bank account. In order to help you get the amazing website you want without too much financial stress, we can set you up with a comfortable payment plan.

FAQs ABOUT OUR WEBSITES

Who owns my new website when it is completed?

You. We know that some marketing companies basically rent a website to their clients. That’s not how we do things around here. Our custom website designs are designed, written, and coded just for you. It is your intellectual property. Although… we do ask that you let us show it off in our portfolio when it’s done.

Do you create the videos I see on your example websites?

Yes. We did create the magnificent videos you see on the example websites above. And we can do the same for you. Our Our Video Package is truly a smashing deal for the quality and quantity of video work we provide. Why bother? Adding professional videos to your website makes a tremendous impact on your website visitor conversion rate (up to a 40% increase) and can play a starring role in many of your other marketing efforts.

Do I have to use LUMN to host and maintain my website?

No. If you love hosting and maintaining your own website, by all means… knock yourself out. The website is yours and you can do whatever you want with it. However, the vast majority of our website development clients (almost 100%) elect to have us host and maintain their website for them.

Can I put a chat feature / scheduling button / forms / some other wazoo on my website?

Yes. In fact, we highly recommend it! Making it easier for your potential clients to connect with you through your website is a savvy thing to do. Your new website will be exceptionally versatile and capable of handling almost any reputable plugin you can find. Our team can discuss options with you during the website development process to make sure you end up with a tool set that works just right 👌 for you.

Will my new website jump to the #1 position in search results after it is launched?”

Potentially. Search engine ranking is influenced by hundreds of variables. While it is true that we follow Google best practices when building your site, this alone might not be enough to push you to the top. Especially If your business is in a competitive market. You need to realize that your competitors are often spending thousands of dollars every month to maintain their SEO standing. If you want to rock to the top of your market, you will probably need to invest in a solid SEO program. Learn about our SEO services.

Are websites even important anymore? I heard at a conference that social media is where I should focus my energies.

YES. Social Media can be an important aspect to help you grow your business. But even if someone does find you on social media, they are almost always going to check your website before calling. We do have some clients that are driving phenomenal leads through social media campaigns. However, those leads are still funneling through their website. And if a lead has a less than ideal experience on your website, that’s probably the end of their experience with you.

I’m interested in having LUMN build my website, but I don’t want to lose any organic SEO value I already have on my old site. What do you recommend?

We get this question often. Here’s the short answer: we utilize search engine recommended protocols to mitigate or eliminate any hit your site may take from creating a new website. And often the ranking will actually increase gradually based on the improvements built into the new site. Because we have worked with such a large number of businesses over the years, we know that many businesses are hesitant to move or redo their website because of a terrible past experience. Don’t worry. Our team is careful to do everything right, on every website project. We got you.

Am I limited in the number of pages my site can have?

No. Your website is built on an incredibly robust platform that can have practically infinite pages. Our base website package includes custom copywriting of up to 4,000 words that are usually spread out between 4-7 service pages. Usually there are ~5 other pages that we build in (e.g., blog, contact, about the business, financial information, etc). If you want us to develop more pages for your site and write content, we will work with you to develop a project that meets your goals and budget.

I own multiple locations and they each have their own website. What should I do?

It depends. This is one of those situations where it would probably be best for us to consult with you and really understand the structure of your business. We know how to skin it, whatever direction you go. There are multiple factors to examine when deciding on this (branding, ownership intent, associates, etc). Let us help you consider your situation and make the best decision for your practice website.

Do you have stock images I can use on my new website site, or do I need to get custom videos and photography?

Yes. We recommend custom visual content. We also know that sometimes there are budget constraints. LUMN does have a library of stock images we can pull from to use on your site. But we highly recommend that you invest in quality custom videos and photos as soon as you can swing it. They make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your businesses website.
