Premium Website Design & SEO in Greater Philadelphia, PA
Navigating the web design world can be overwhelming, confusing, contradictory and downright scammy. But you may begin to relax. Lots of my clients were just like you. They find their way to me after trying fancy agencies, offshore cheapies or other freelancers, but were continually left unsatisfied or ripped off. I know the cycle very well. When I engage with a client, we work together to solve their website woes and increase their faith in humanity. Well, faith in web designers at least.
What separates me from other designers/consultants?
I have been active online since I was nine years old. You could say I’m part of a digital latchkey generation. One of the first to grow up completely immersed in the web, albeit the early stages of it. I designed and sold my first website for a Philadelphia area author in 2002 for $75. I was 12 years old. The internet is second nature to me. I was on all the sites I could find, modifying them and learning all that I could. I was known throughout my school as the web design kid. I eventually turned that into a career path and went to college for web design (way before it was trendy.)

Client Reviews
I’ve worked with Chad for the last four months. He updated and rebuilt my website, and expanded my social media presence a thousand fold. He’s great to work with and had many creative ideas. I highly recommend working with him.
Chad has been doing our graphic and web design for over 4 years at Brooklyn Bazaar and Riis Park Beach Bazaar. His design sense is awesome and he always provides great suggestions with good insight on what will work for our biz. Always super responsive, really fast worker and all around great guy. Love ya Chad!
We used Chad to build our new website. I had a very specific look I was going for, and even though I was pretty bad at articulating it, Chad nailed it. He is competent, patient and has a lot of great ideas. I will definitely use him again on future projects.
Talented, responsive and understands the big picture. Chad was able to develop a sophisticated corporate site that in relatively short order was ranking top 3 organically on Google. He ask’s the right questions and crafts solutions based on your needs and desired outcome. Best bang for your buck and quality execution in a business that has a lot of fakers!
Chad went above and beyond building our company’s high end website and exceeded our expectations with the final product. He is super easy to communicate with and very responsive to our many questions. He has also been a great deal of help consulting on all aspects of rebranding, marketing and SEO.
I was looking for a company/person to help me build an interactive website for my business. A website that would allow my clients to purchase subscriptions and such. After interviewing several other companies, I became disappointed in other companies lack of effort for a potential customer. Chad was very informative and knew exactly what I needed and was able to build my website to exactly how I wanted . Not only that, the website continues to grow with newer ideas thanks to Chad and his knowledge of what his customers needs and wants are. Chad is very professional, talented and skilled. He does not try to sell you on products or services that you don’t need. He keeps everything on point.
Highly recommended! We needed Chad to build a website that could allow customers to sign in for classes in sessions, pay by installment, read blogs etc… and he delivered! He went above and beyond and got our start- up on the first pages of search engines thanks to his great work with SEO. He made research to find the perfect payment portal, put my social media pages together, worked relentlessly to get our start up going. He is a great consultant and really helped when we were in doubt.
Recently I was looking for a web designer for a webpage that needed a make over and was fortunate to find Chad! Chad has been amazing to partner with. He understood the message I was trying to express with the website, was responsive to all of my questions, had super cool ideas to add and did all of this in a timely and affordable manner. Chad is awesome and my newly designed website is gorgeous!
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) For Your Website
From Neil Patel: a leading global SEO expert:
“SEO is a details game. Can you imagine the consequences to your SEO if Google’s crawler stops visiting your website as often? Well… this is about to happen. Google is considering reducing emissions in a major way.
Crawling and indexing are all virtual, and at that scale (1.5 billion websites), it takes a major toll on the environment. Now, Google is considering crawling websites less frequently because of that.
What does that mean? It means it’ll take a while for those crawlers to come back around. So it’s essential that you nail your SEO now. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting a while to get found online.”
Let’s get your website SEO up to par and optimize your website for search, ASAP!

About My Rate & Fees
(note for potential employers: these rates do not apply to your organization.)
Flat Rate Projects
Website project fees are case by case, so please inquire if you might think we are a good fit. Websites for operating businesses start around $3,000. Simpler websites for startups and solopreneurs start around $1,200.
Hourly
My hourly rate ranges from $100/hr – $150/hr based on the size, revenue and/or other determining traits of a company or organization. Most clients fall at $100/hr.
For hourly projects I bill in blocks of 5 hours, from which I can pull down time in as little as 10 minutes. This allows for more accurate tracking of time worked and tasks completed, giving everyone a little more peace of mind.
5-10 hour blocks expire in 6 months
10+ hour blocks expire in 8 months
Day Rate
My date rate is $525. Hire me for 6 working hours between 9am – 9pm Eastern. I’ll be available to do a blitz on web or graphics for an upcoming event or pitch. Clean up your website, edit or spruce up a brochure, add a new web page, build an email automation, etc. You’ll have my skills at your disposal for the whole day.
Hosting
WordPress web hosting is $20-30/month. I prefer to host my client’s websites on WPengine, but can work with ultimately any host.
Hosting with other platforms like Squarespace, Wix and Shopify vary from free to $20 or more.
