Custom is More than Just a Pretty Face
WordPress themes have gotten a bad reputation, but they’ve earned it. Too often WordPress themes (and the developers that push them) lock clients into a theme that can only allow a few layouts. Need another menu on the bottom or a picture to the left…sorry! That’s no way to WordPress. That’s why there’s custom development.
But it’s not just about good looks. Custom is more than cosmetic. In addition to building the look and feel of your site from scratch, we also build custom functionality. From administrative or analytic dashboards and progressive web applications for mobile capabilities to custom storefronts, plugins, and user experience innovations, we can build what you need, where you need it. Users will be able to tell (and appreciate) that you didn’t settle for an off-the-shelf theme. When form and function come When form and function come together, website visitors stay longer, come back more often, and yes, convert at a higher rate.

Don’t put off your success any longer. Your custom site can be dominating the web quicker than you think. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Sales Funnels
A sales funnel (also known as a purchase funnel) charts the journey of your customers as they move from awareness to purchase. By mapping out this process in its entirety, businesses can more easily track their progress and identify areas for improvement. We’ll work with you to create a sales funnel that leads users through your site and encourages them to take the desired action, whether that’s signing up for a newsletter, downloading a white paper, or making a purchase. In this way, your site can become a tool for growth, not just a static brochure
Strategy that Grows with You
We don’t just build great WordPress websites—we build long-term relationships. We’ll work with you to create a customized website that grows with your company and evolves as your needs change. As your position among the search engines changes (and it will) we’ll be there to help you strategize and adjust your SEO from month to month. Our aggressive approach to SEO keeps your site visible and relevant, and our team is always on top of the latest changes in search algorithms. This is a partnership, and we’re in it for the long haul


Written in Your Voice
Research Pros
You know how important accurate and reliable content is for the credibility of your website and company. But crafting premium copy takes time and effort—two things you might not have a lot of. That’s where we come in. Our writing team is composed of research pros who will work with you to come up with writing that’s accurate, well-sourced, and presents your business in the best possible light. Building trust and authority in your brand is our passion. We know what it takes to get results, and we’ll help you every step of the way.


Conversion Rate Optimization
We don’t just build pretty websites. We build websites that achieve your goals. Our focus is on creating a positive user experience that leads to more conversions—whether that means more sales, more newsletter signups, or more downloads. We use a variety of techniques on your WordPress based site including split testing, heat mapping, and user experience analysis to find areas of improvement and optimize your site for conversions. Afterall, a website is only as good as its ability to convert visitors into leads or sales, and our team can get you there.
Social Media Linking
Your website is the foundation of your web presence, but social media is where the conversation happens. We integrate social media into your site so you can connect with your customers and followers where they already are. We’ll add social media buttons and links to your site so visitors can easily share your content and follow you on their favorite platforms. With so many means to interact with your brand, social media can help you to reach a wider audience and build loyalty among your customers. We can also help you develop a social media strategy to get the most out of your online presence. (Let us know if you need help with those).

List Integration
Email Campaign Lists have become a powerful instrument for brand-building and repeat sales. We’ll get your site hooked up to your favorite campaign tool. Email lists can help you stay in touch with your customers and build brand loyalty. Integration is a key part of our workflow. We’ll connect your site to your existing email provider or help you set up a new account. We can even import your existing list. Whether you’re using Active Campaign, Constant Contact, Drip, or something else, our list integration makes your site and campaigns work together seamlessly. When new customers sign up on your site, they’re automatically added to your list. No fuss, no muss.

Fast Load Times
47% percent of visitors expect a website to load in less than 2 seconds. We’re all about meeting expectations. And if you want to load even faster, we can do that too, because let’s face it, no one likes a slow website. We’ll ensure your WordPress site loads quickly, even on mobile devices with slower data connections. We optimize images, minify code, and use caching to speed things up. We also offer specialized hosting packages that are designed for WordPress sites and provide features like server-level caching to further improve performance.

Blog Awesomeness
This is WordPress, after all, so of course blogs are built in. We take it to a whole new level. Sticky sidebars, social media power tools, image-driven clickvitations, and soooo much more. We know the impact that blogging can have on a website, and we’re not afraid to show ‘em how it’s done. Our team of blog writers go the extra mile (or 10) to make sure your blog posts are top-notch. You can take this awesomeness even further and maximize the reach of your WordPress based blog by repurposing the copy for your all of your favorite social media platforms


Automatic Backups
Life happens, and trouble can come from anywhere at any time. Fear not, for if something does happen to your site, we can have it back to normal in minutes thanks to our automatic daily backups. We keep a close eye on your server health and security, and we understand that staying up and running is critical to your success. MacMillan Design will go the extra mile to make sure it’s always available when you need it, keeping you covered so you can focus on running your company instead of worrying about your website.

Blog Posting Auto Pilot
It’s no secret that keeping your content fresh is key to a successful website, but writing quality blog posts can be time-consuming and difficult. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be. If you have neither the time nor the inclination to write your own blog posts, our blog posting auto pilot service is for you. We’ll take care of the details for you—from writing and editing the posts to publishing them on your WordPress site. We’ll even come up with a list of relevant hot topics for you to choose from. All you need to do is approve the posts and watch your traffic (and your sales) take off

Mobile Friendly
Smartphones account for 50% or more of website traffic today. As more and more people turn to their smartphones to do everything from check the weather to purchase a car, that number is only going to grow. With our beautiful, mobile-responsive custom websites, you can view them on any device, no matter how large or small it is. The main goal of our WordPress website packages is to deliver a great user experience that encourages visitors to become customers. With MacMillan’s mobile-friendly design, you can keep your customers engaged and return for more.

Strategic Planning
A good website makes users happy but a great website makes competitors nervous. Besides getting to know your company, we also research your competitors — then develop a strategy for leaving them behind. Whether you are trying to generate leads, make sales, or grow your brand, we can create a strategy to help you achieve your goals. From design and development to SEO and engaging writing, MacMillan Design puts together a completely customized WordPress website that meets and exceeds your needs. Our team will make sure that you have everything you need to grow your brand to the next level.
Keyword Research
With advanced competitive research (and competitive gap analysis), we identify what you are missing: high volume, low competition, and valuable keywords. To ensure you’re found by those looking for your product or service, MacMillan Design pinpoints the perfect keywords to use on each page of your WordPress website package. As part of our process, our team will also analyze the sites of your competitors to identify areas where you may be able to deliver greater results. To better understand how they’re connecting with their audience and generating leads, we will examine their writing, SEO, and social media campaigns. In order to develop a plan geared towards getting you the results you desire, you will need this critical information.


Market Research
The foundation of effective online marketing and advertising is in-depth market research for every custom WordPress website. To attract your target market, we get to know them inside out – and how to push all the right buttons. In order to create website content that converts, we take a customer-centric approach. Knowing your audience allows us to tailor your custom WordPress website to deliver marketing messages that appeal to them more directly. By communicating with the customers, understanding their needs, and speaking their language, you will increase leads and conversions significantly.
Amazing Content Creation
As part of an effective SEO strategy, Google has recently placed a lot of emphasis on content. We provide you with the best copy for your website, so your customers have an enjoyable and informative experience. Creating relevant, relatable, and attention-grabbing content is our specialty. As part of our writing process, our writers work closely with the design team to ensure the text flows down the web page in a manner that keeps visitors interested. Our team will craft your message into something your audience will love to read, share, and return to. MacMillan Design has expert copywriters who will ensure your custom WordPress website is well-written, engaging and informative


Topic Clusters
By using this cutting-edge technique, you can create insanely powerful search engine optimization (SEO). A topic cluster aims to build an authoritative website that can rank any search term related to your niche. This is accomplished by creating one main web page covering the broad idea, and then a set of cluster pages covering specific subtopics within that topic. By proving your authority on a topic, you will be able to rank better in search engines as well as build trust with potential customers. Using our expertise, we will research, write, design, and build your topic clusters. The best part is it’s not an add-on — it’s how we build our WordPress website structures. The larger your package, the more powerful the topic cluster will be. At the top of Google, you’re going to be very busy, so rest up while you can.
Link Building
No matter how good your theme is, it doesn’t come with link development. It is crucial (and difficult) to get trustworthy links to your website in order to rank highly. For every custom WordPress website we build, we manually reach out to high-authority websites to build high-quality links that drive traffic and rankings. Our efforts to do this are very much appreciated by Google. Google rewards you with higher placement in search results if your website has links that indicate it is a valuable resource. Even though this process takes time, it’s a long-term investment that will pay off in the long run. Using our long-term relationships, MacMillan Design places legitimate backlinks that increase your WordPress website’s reputation


Ongoing Monthly SEO Plans
You’ll get three months of SEO included in most of our custom WordPress website packages, but don’t stop there. Your competitors won’t. Keep your website on the front page of Google web search results for your preferred keywords by keeping up with the latest SEO trends. Our hassle-free ongoing SEO services will help you remain ahead of the competition. With an ongoing SEO package, we’ll handle the heavy lifting while you concentrate on running your business. You can spend your time doing what you do best while we take care of maintaining your web presence. We specialize in SEO and are always ready to help you crush it
Video Backgrounds
Make a deep emotional impact on your audience by adding our stunning video backgrounds to your custom WordPress website. If you want to make a powerful impression, this is the way to do it. Clips can be used from your collection or found for you if you wish. The visual voice of your website will be boosted by video, whether you’re projecting a professional or a fun and approachable image. Videos speak louder than words or still images, and can ensure your custom WordPress website has a strong voice that packs a punch.


Support Plans
Get ongoing support for your website after it’s complete with monthly support plans that make it easier to keep it fresh and current. Whether you need assistance with content updates or maintenance, we can help. You know it’s essential to keep your website up-to-date, and we know it’s not easy to find the time. You don’t have to worry about details with our monthly support plans because we handle them for you so you can focus on other aspects of your business. Let us help you take the headache out of website maintenance. We provide 3 months of support with all of our custom WordPress website packages, so you don’t need to decide right away. We’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready.
