Not Just Web Design.
Real Business Growth.
Most web designers and agencies start with colors, layout, and aesthetics... ...we start with researching your online presence.
Before any web pages are built, we take a close look at your website, what keywords you're currently ranking for, what's missing, why it's not ranking or converting, and how much traffic it's getting, from where.
We then study the keyword data in your market for low-hanging fruit, or places you can compete easily.
Next, we study your top competitors. What's working for them currently. Where you fit in, and where any gaps in the market are. We then know exactly what needs to be built to outrank and replace them.
Built on Real Experience, Not Just Design Training
I didn't come up through design school or a 6-week coding bootcamp. I spent 28 years building websites and businesses of my own.
I didn't get paid when the design work was done. I got paid when the website produced revenue.
I learned exactly what gets a site ranking and converting, and what I really needed as a business owner, which I pass onto Shared Graphics Clients today.
Direct Access, No Layers
Most agencies put SO many people between you and the work. Account managers, coordinators, relay chains, designers in other countries, and more. It slows everything down, things get lost in translation, which weakens results.
We don't operate that way.
You get direct access to the strategy and execution. No filtered updates, no waiting on someone to relay your questions to others. Just direct execution of the right strategy.
Built to Grow With You
A website isn't a one-time project, it grows with your business. Search engines, marketing, and AI constantly evolve.
Your competitors all want to take market share from you. If you're not staying ahead, they catch up.
We don't typically just build websites, and walk away. We watch your rankings, your growth, your market, and your competitors. We adjust strategy as the market and technology changes, and your business keeps growing the way it needs to.

What makes Shared Graphics different from other web design agencies?

You also work directly with the person doing the strategy, not an account manager relaying your questions.

Shared Graphics handles everything you need. The research, planning, strategy, copywriting, and the SEO. Everything is built together from day one.
A website with no SEO strategy behind it doesn't get found.
We handle the research, copywriting, strategy, web design, local SEO, organic/strategic SEO, and the AI optimization for platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
What is AI optimization, and do I need it?
AI search optimization means making sure tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity recommend your business when people ask them for local services, not just Google.
Even if you rank well on Google, AI might be recommending your competitors instead.
It's becoming a real source of customers and referrals, and most agencies aren't addressing it yet.
