Paul really is the real deal and knows what he is talking about. If you need someone to help your online presence, I wouldn't go to anyone else but Paul.
Search Strength SEO gives Evanston practices, shops and nonprofits calm, accessible WordPress websites where booking an appointment or making a donation takes a few taps. We plan each page around what local visitors search for, then design and build it ourselves. Everything is handled remotely from our Tampa, Florida base, on a schedule that suits Evanston.
Good fit for therapists, clinics, law and advisory firms, independent retailers and mission-driven groups.
A more demanding audience than most. Northwestern faculty and staff, graduate students, parents from Wilmette and Skokie, and professionals who commute on the Purple Line all compare options carefully and notice sloppy writing.
Many are looking for help with something personal: a therapist, a physical therapist, an attorney or a tutor. The site has to feel trustworthy in the first few seconds and answer the practical questions (fees, insurance, location, availability) without a phone call.
A page for each thing you offer, written in plain language, with who it is for and what the first visit looks like.
Readable contrast, labelled forms, keyboard-friendly menus and descriptive image text on every template.
A visible appointment, inquiry or donation path on every page, tested on phones before launch.
Real photos and credentials, because visitors choosing a practitioner want to see who they will meet.
Titles, descriptions, schema and a connected Google Business Profile so Evanston searches can find you.
A WordPress dashboard your team can update without breaking the design.
| Organization | Visitors want to know | Pages that answer it |
|---|---|---|
| Therapy or wellness practice | Specialties, fees, insurance, openings | Services, providers, insurance and fees, FAQ, book |
| Law or advisory firm | Practice areas and who will handle the matter | Practice area pages, attorney bios, consultation page |
| Independent shop or cafe | What is special, hours, where to park | Products or menu, story, visit us, events |
| Nonprofit | Mission, impact, how to give or volunteer | Programs, stories, donate, volunteer, contact |
People weighing a therapist, tutor or advisor want the practical details before they reach out. Each one gets a clear home on the site.
If you publish rates, they sit on their own page with what a session includes; if you prefer not to, that page explains how pricing is shared on a first call.
A short list of accepted plans or a plain out-of-network explanation, written so nobody has to phone just to ask.
Whether you are taking new clients and how your waitlist works, editable from the dashboard in a minute.
Directions from the Davis Street Purple Line and Metra stops, parking notes and whether the entrance is step-free.
Three examples where tone and clarity mattered as much as looks.
A call about your services, your clients and what the current site gets wrong.
A page list and wireframes for your approval, including where booking appears.
Layouts and copy built together, with your photos and your review of every page.
Redirects from old pages, a check of forms and tracking, and training for your staff.
Timing depends on how many pages and providers you have; we give you a date once the page plan is signed off.

The page plan and the words on it come from Paul Weidner, founder and owner. Steven McVicker, co-owner and CTO, develops the templates and keeps them running on the WordPress server we manage. Both join your calls.
Many Evanston clients also sell into the city, which is why this service connects to our Chicago website design work and uses the same process.
Yes. Templates are built with sufficient contrast, labelled form fields, logical headings and keyboard navigation, and we explain how to keep new content accessible.
Yes. We write in careful, supportive language that describes what you offer and who it helps, without guaranteeing outcomes.
No. Our designers are in Tampa, Florida; Evanston clients meet us over video, scheduled on Central Time.
Yes, because every site we make runs on WordPress on a server we operate. Carrying your Squarespace pages and posts across is part of the redesign fee.
It launches with the setup search engines need, like titles, schema and a linked Google profile; ongoing ranking work is a separate service.
Looks are half of it. Ask whether visitors can book, and whether Google shows your pages.
We design around your content, so you are not squeezed into someone else's layout.
Your service list, provider photos if you have them and any must-keep pages.
Downtown Evanston and the neighborhoods north and south of it, plus the North Shore suburbs next door. Clients in these areas are served remotely.
The same approach runs through our website design and development services for every market we serve.
Evanston visitors can judge us by client ratings on Google Maps.
Tell us what you offer and who you serve. We will send back a page list and the questions each page should answer.
