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 develops and maintains websites for Madison, Wisconsin companies. The team takes on WordPress and fully custom builds, bespoke plugins, integrations with the tools you use, accessibility and speed improvements, and ongoing care after launch. The team works from Tampa and serves Madison clients remotely on Central Time.
If your site works but fights you every time you change it, this is the page for you.
Madison's economy leans on the university, state government, health care and a growing software sector around Verona and Middleton. Plenty of local businesses sell into those institutions, and their buyers expect sites that are fast, secure and usable by everyone.
That shifts the job from decoration to engineering: accessible forms and navigation, integrations with scheduling or CRM systems, clean data handling and a site the marketing team can update without calling a developer for every change.
Madison's calendar shapes traffic too. Campus move-in, football Saturdays and the legislative session each bring predictable surges for nearby restaurants, rentals and service businesses. We load-test forms and booking tools before those weeks and schedule updates for quiet periods, so nothing breaks when the most people are trying to reach you.
WordPress or custom sites built from an agreed page plan, with forms, tracking and search setup in place at launch.
Moving off an old theme, builder or host with every URL mapped so search rankings survive the move.
Business-specific functions packaged as a plugin you own, independent of whatever theme you use next.
Website forms and orders connected to CRMs, email tools, payment providers and scheduling software.
Performance tuning, cleaner code, keyboard-friendly navigation and readable contrast, measured before and after.
Monthly care: core and plugin updates, off-site backups, uptime alerts and security fixes.
Most engagements start with a single problem, like a broken integration or a slow checkout, and grow from there once the site is stable and the team trusts the process.
Everything is scheduled on Central Time, so calls with our Tampa developers fit your normal day.
We audit code, hosting, plugins, speed, accessibility and search setup, then rank the problems by business impact.
You approve the priorities, timeline and cost before work starts.
We rehearse each change on a separate clone of the site before touching production.
Changes go live in a planned window and we monitor errors, speed and rankings afterwards.
New builds typically take 2–4 weeks depending on scope; targeted fixes are often done within days.

Steven McVicker leads development and wrote the reporting software our clients log into, with Paul Weidner covering SEO so technical changes never undercut rankings. You work with them directly.
Many Madison clients pair development with a fresh look; our Madison web design service covers the design side with the same team.
We quote after the technical review. These factors matter most.
Improving a sound site costs less than untangling an old theme with conflicting plugins.
Each connected system or custom feature adds build and testing time.
A quick review of key templates is lighter than full remediation of every page and document.
Madison builds launch on WordPress and sit on infrastructure we run in-house, so speed, security and support stay in one set of hands; we handle the transfer from your current host or platform at no added cost.
Accessibility is a set of concrete fixes, not a badge. When a Madison client asks for WCAG-aligned work, these are the areas we review and repair first.
Every menu, button, form and pop-up must work without a mouse, in a logical order, with a visible focus outline so users know where they are.
Body text and buttons must meet contrast guidelines against their backgrounds and stay readable when a visitor zooms in.
Each field needs a real label, required fields must say so, and error messages must describe the problem instead of just turning a box red.
Meaningful images get descriptive alt text, videos get captions, and important PDFs are either made accessible or replaced with web pages.
Because someone has to keep the working site healthy: its code, server, connected tools, load time, security and updates. Design decides how the site looks; development decides whether it works reliably.
No. The developers work out of Tampa, Florida, taking Madison projects on remotely. Planning and review calls are held over video during Central Time hours.
Yes. We review templates, navigation, forms and contrast against WCAG guidelines, fix what we find and explain what your team should keep in mind when adding content.
Yes. We map every existing URL, preserve content and metadata that rank, set permanent redirects and monitor Search Console after launch.
Yes. A monthly plan keeps the site patched and backed up, watches uptime, and leaves room for small content or feature changes.
Once the site runs well, the next question is usually search visibility for Madison organizations.
Age isn't the issue; how it was built is. A review shows whether it needs fixes or a rebuild.
If it looks wrong, design. If it's slow, breaks or won't integrate, development.

Our Chicago web development clients work with the same developers.
Across Madison and Dane County, from downtown and the Isthmus to Middleton, Fitchburg and Sun Prairie. Areas are listed for reference, not as separate pages.
Many Dane County organizations run more than one website: a main site, a donations or registration portal, sometimes an old microsite nobody remembers owning. Part of our first web development review in Madison is finding all of them, checking which still receive traffic, and deciding what to merge, redirect or retire, so your visitors and search engines see one clear, well-maintained presence.
