Experts Web & Business Strategy to Reach Your Business Goals

photo of Lisa Kipps-Brown outside in the Fall

A website isn't a brochure. It can be the hardest working part of your business.

The problem is, with so many options available it's hard to know what your best choices are for the long run. You can end up wasting lots of time and money, but getting nowhere.

With the right strategy and online tools, though, you can use the web to totally transform your business.

  • get better clients
  • grow a business without hiring employees,
  • create new revenue streams,
  • improve business value & marketability to sell for retirement,
  • adapt a business to meet new demands like caring for an elderly parent, or
  • be able to work from anywhere, freeing you up to travel.

You need a plan first, and that's where we come in.

If you're just looking for a designer who'll "make you a website," there are plenty of other designers who can create something that looks good. But that's not the important part of web design. The important part is the plan.

We use our 29+ years in the internet industry to provide expert web and business strategy with NO GOBBLEDYGOOK.

“You have caused me to be excited about this process when I had been DREADING it! You are awesome! Your enthusiasm is contagious!”
A.M., Medical Clinic Owner

We start with a No Gobbledybook 1-hour Consult to discover how you can use the web strategically to achieve the goals that are important to you. Everyone is different, and your strategy should be tailored to your goals. 

You'll talk one-on-one with our founder, Lisa Kipps-Brown, to help clarify exactly where you want to be and how you can use big picture strategy and the web to get there.

After the consult, we're happy to work with you to develop your site and integrated services. Or, you can use the results of your consult to work with other companies, to make sure you're having them do what you actually need done.

“I've had a website for years and spent a ton of money on it with both freelancers and agencies. To be honest, I've never seen where it's really helped my business. It's more something I just knew I needed to have. I never realized that I could automate things as simple yet annoying as setting client appointments, though, and now I'm not thinking about “how much” traffic I'm getting but whether it's “good” traffic.”
S.J., Investment Advisor

What They're Saying...

“I knew I could hire a cheap web designer, but when I found out about your No Gobbledygook Consult I figured it made sense to do that before building a site. No wonder other designers are cheaper! They're just not delivering the same service as you are. Since I did the Consult and decided to go forward with a full project, I'm so relieved to know that my site is an investment and I actually have a plan for the future.”
M.S., Management Consultant
“I didn't understand web jargon and felt overwhelmed at the thoughts of hiring a designer. How would I know who was qualified when I couldn't even understand what they were talking about? Finding you took away that worry. You have so much experience that I know you know what you're doing, but you also explain things to me in a way that I can understand. I can't believe how much I've learned!”
C.O., Non-profit Founder

When we were invited by Virginia's Department of Housing and Community Development to speak about marketing to Virginia Main Street Community directors from across the state, we needed something helpful to give them to take back to the office. Our Quicky Guide to Social Media ended up being quite a hit! This poster is different from anything we've ever seen: It has dry erase blocks to let the user jot notes for planning their social media. The poster is 11"x17" - large enough to accommodate the dry erase blocks but small enough to not take up too much of the user's office wall.
