Portland, Oregon
Web design in Portland, Oregon
I'm in Albany, about 70 miles south of Portland.
There are a lot of good agencies in Portland. Most of them will put a founder in the pitch and an account manager on your project. Here there's no handoff, because there's no one to hand off to. The person who builds your site is the person who answers your email, usually the same day.
The money's going out the door where you never look.
A customer calls at 5:10. You're mid-job, hands full. It rings out to voicemail. They don't leave one. They just call the next name on the list.
Someone searches for exactly what you do. You're on page 5, where nobody scrolls. The click goes to the company with the bigger ad budget, not the better work.
And the lead that did get through? It's sitting in a voicemail you haven't heard yet, because you were too buried in quoting and paperwork to call back before they moved on.
Same problem every time: work that was yours, gone somewhere you never looked. That's what I fix.
Contractor and construction sites I've built
I'll be straight with you: I haven't done a pile of dedicated Portland-metro work yet. But building for contractors is exactly what I do. Here's some of it, including the Lower Columbia Contractors Association up your way.
Why hire someone in Albany for Portland work
Portland is a crowded, expensive market, and the agencies there price like it. My overhead is one person in Albany. So I can do the same caliber of work for less, and the person you hire is the person who does it.
Access is the other half. At an agency you get a founder in the pitch and an account manager for the next year. Here there is no one to hand off to. You email me, I answer, usually the same day.
What I do for Portland businesses.
Built for the trades.
Trades are where I've gone deepest. But a missed call is a missed call in any local business.
Questions from Portland.
- You're 70 miles away. Does that matter?
- For the work, no. The build, the SEO, and the updates happen the same way whether I'm across town or down I-5. For the price, it matters in your favor: my overhead is a lot lower than a Portland agency's.
- Why not just hire a Portland agency?
- Plenty of good ones exist. Just know what you're buying: usually a founder in the pitch and an account manager on the project. With me there's no handoff. You talk to the person building your site, and you pay less for it.
- Can you rank me in a market as crowded as Portland?
- Portland is competitive, so I don't go head-on for the biggest searches on day one. I go after the specific searches your bigger competitors ignore, build Google's trust, then climb into the harder fights. It's months of steady work, and I'll show you the numbers as they move.
