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.
Rockford manufacturers, contractors and Main Street shops rely on us for WordPress websites that open quickly on mobile, describe what they make or fix in plain language and keep the phone number and quote form within easy reach. We work remotely on Central Time from our base in Tampa, Florida.
Built for buyers who judge a supplier or a contractor from a phone screen.
It needs to prove competence before anyone calls. Rockford still runs on making things: aerospace suppliers, precision machining, fastener plants and the freight operations clustered around Chicago Rockford International Airport. The people who hire those firms are engineers and purchasing managers comparing vendors on a laptop between meetings.
Homeowners in Loves Park, Machesney Park and Cherry Valley behave the same way on their phones. They open two or three contractor sites, look for proof the company is real, then tap whichever phone number is easiest to find.
Different buyers, different first screens. This is how we usually plan the page list.
| Business | First thing a visitor must see | Pages we plan |
|---|---|---|
| Machine shop or manufacturer | Processes, tolerances, industries served | Capabilities, equipment list, quality and certifications, RFQ page |
| Home-service trade | Services, service area, a tappable phone number | One page per service, town pages, reviews, contact |
| Downtown shop or restaurant | Hours, location, what makes it worth the trip | Menu or products, events, directions, gallery |
| Professional practice | The people you serve and the booking link | Services, team bios, FAQ, booking |
The right page count depends on how many services you offer and how many towns you actually sell into, not on a package tier.
Three builds for Midwest and trade businesses. Each one is live, so you can open it on your own phone.
Remote does not mean hands-off. Every stage has a call and a sign-off.
You tell us what the business sells, who signs off on purchases, which towns count and where the current site falls short.
Before any design work, you sign off on the page list plus layouts for the homepage and a sample inner page.
Pages are designed and built on WordPress with your real photos, copy and contact paths.
Old URLs are redirected, tracking is tested, and you get a walkthrough of how to edit the site.
Once the page plan is approved, most Rockford builds launch in two to four weeks; catalog-heavy sites take longer.

Paul Weidner, who founded and owns Search Strength SEO, plans the pages around the searches your buyers make. Steven McVicker, co-owner and CTO, turns the approved layouts into a working site and looks after hosting, speed and code. Nobody sits between you and them.
Because the same two people handle design and search, the finished site is ready to rank on launch day. If you want that ongoing, our Chicago-area SEO services pick up from the same foundation.
We quote a fixed price after the discovery call. Four things move that number.
A ten-page contractor site is a much smaller job than a forty-page manufacturer site carrying an equipment catalog.
If we write the copy or source images, that time is part of the quote; your own shop photos always beat stock.
RFQ forms with file uploads, product filters or dealer locators add design and build time.
Wix, Squarespace and aging page-builder sites are recreated in WordPress and hosted with us, with that transfer priced into the redesign itself.
No. We design Rockford sites remotely from Tampa, Florida, and every call and screen-share review lands inside your Central Time workday.
Yes. We build capability, equipment and certification pages with scannable specs, and an RFQ page that accepts drawings, so engineers can qualify you quickly.
Yes. We start each layout at phone size, with a tap-to-call button, brief forms and lightweight images, and scale it up for larger screens afterwards.
We design on WordPress and run every client site on a server we manage ourselves. A Rockford site currently on Wix or Squarespace gets migrated to WordPress, and the migration is covered by the project fee.
Most Rockford projects launch two to four weeks after the page plan is approved; sites with large equipment catalogs take longer.
People you were referred to will still check your site, and a weak one makes the recommendation look shaky.
You can. Ask who builds the site and who answers the phone; with us it is the owners.
Open any project in our web design portfolio; each card goes straight to the working website.
Your current URL, a list of services and 30 minutes for a discovery call.
Rankings are a separate project from the build; Rockford search optimization explains how we handle them.
Across Winnebago and Boone counties, from the River District downtown to the growth along East State Street and Perryville Road. We serve these communities remotely rather than from a local office.
Our web design service covers every page type these businesses need, from single-location contractors to manufacturers selling nationwide.
You can read our client reviews and check our business listing on Google Maps before we talk.
Send us your current site. You get a list of what is losing you calls and a sketch of the page plan we would build instead.
