Watch this short informational video below to see how I can help you:

Clients Hire Us because …

We Make You Look Good Online. Looks matter. How you present yourself matters. Your credibility takes a hit and you miss opportunities when your company website looks unprofessional.

We do High-Quality Work. We’re precise, accurate and build things to last. We take great pride in what we do and build every site as if it were our own.

We’re Experienced. After 15 years building websites and doing digital marketing, there’s not much we haven’t seen. If you have the budget, we can build anything you want.

We Meet Deadlines. We get things done on time. We’ve never miss deadlines and won’t keep you waiting.

We’re Affordable. We serve small/medium businesses and service professionals, not huge corporations and our prices reflect that.

We Do Large jobs and Small Jobs. Whether you have a large job or just need some minor work done, we’re happy to help.

We’re a Small Company. I’m directly involved on every project. No bureaucracy or red tape at our office. This keeps costs down and production time low.

High Speed Turn Around Time.  If you ever need help, we’re only a phone call or email away. We’ll never keep you waiting.

We Understand Sales & Marketing. It takes more than a pretty website to make sales. You need to know how to write effective ad copy if you want prospects to take action — skills that take years to develop and ongoing practice to master.

We’re Easy. We’re prompt, polite, friendly and pleasant to work with.

Speak plain English. Nothing’s more annoying than dealing with someone speaking techno-babble . You won’t find any rude, arrogant, techie know-it-alls here. We speak your language.

Web Hosting & Maintenance. With us, it’s one stop shopping. We design and develop your site and take care of all the website hosting and maintenance as well.

On-Going Support. After your new site or marketing campaign launches, you won’t be left hanging. As your business grows and evolves, we’re available every step of the way to help you make the necessary adjustments and updates.

Building Relationships

I consider myself an honest expert in building long-term, collaborative relationships with clients through measurable, informed design and actionable digital marketing strategies.

Coding Expertise

With a background in coding HTML, CSS, PHP, WordPress and Javascript, designing and building websites has been my bread and butter since 2006, and I’ve been pushing web design boundaries ever since.

Secret Sauce

Over the years I’ve developed a process that helps us efficiently design websites that captures the attention of your audience and guides them down the conversion funnel. We combine research-driven strategy, inventive design, and clean coding to architect change and build the best experiences for our clients’ audiences.

Turn Prospects Into Profits

Anybody can set up a website, but at Lovett Web Design, we build strategic, engaging experiences that reinforce credibility, communicate key messages, and turn prospects into profits.

Work With Mark : Not a Generic ‘Nameless’ Agency Team Member

Why pay a fortune to a web agency only to work with some ‘generic’ team member and receive only mediocre results?  At  Lovett Web Design, you work with me, not some nameless web agency ‘team member’.  If I’m too busy to take the work, I’ll tell you, and recommend someone else.

Web Design Passion

“I love to build beautiful, easy to manage, responsive design websites on the web’s best platform – WordPress, and then add my secret sauce, White Hat SEO and Digital Marketing techniques, to give your site incredible organic browser rankings,  and watch your business start booming!”

Web Projects of All Complexity and Size

For more complex projects, I head up a team of top professional WordPress website developers and designers, and we’ll do a beautiful job for you regardless of the size of your project or the timeframe you are working within.

We Work Within Your Budget

I’ll work within your budget, listening carefully to your needs, creating responsive design WordPress sites from scratch, customizing themes or re-designing existing websites.  I only employ state-of-the-art code, SEO and Digital Marketing strategies.

Describe Your Project

Tell me about your project and let me find the right solution for you. I enjoy working with businesses and I’m proficient at understanding a company’s long-term vision and how to accurately and consistently reflect and strengthen that message in visual and written communications.

“Creativity is more than being different. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.”

What does a freelance Web designer do?

The main responsibility of a freelance web designer is to design and build websites to the client’s specifications. This often involves sketching basic concepts, creating draft websites, and making revisions as requested by the client.

How do freelance Web designers charge?

Reasonably skilled freelance web designers make about $75 per hour. This figure can vary though, according to CSS-Tricks. Website Builder Expert estimates that the cost to design a website is $30 to $80 per hour and the cost to develop it is $100 to $180 per hour. I’m experienced at both the design and development of websites.

How many hours does it take to design a website?

Designing and building a website can take anywhere from one day on a website builder like Wix or Squarespace (these aren’t preferred because they can be bad for Search Engine Optimization) to the sky is the limit for a complicated E-commerce site with numerous levels of categorization.

I had created my website, but was seriously struggling with writing the SEO code required to have the site recognized by search engines. I contacted Mark Lovett and within 24 hours everything was up and running perfectly. He was extremely responsive, professional and well worth the small price I paid. Highly recommend.

I’ve been working with Mark on a web project for a mutual client since April 2018. A new site had been designed, but had suffered an organic page ranking blow after re-launching. Mark was brought in to get the SEO rolling again. He has been very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The SEO implementations that he has put into place are working very well and our client has been very happy with the results!

“Working with Mark is amazing. He is an expert at what he does, fast and professional. He was able to get my project vision the very first time. Mark turned around my project in the most miraculous of ways. I was struggling to complete the website for my foundation on my own and it seemed as if Mark clicked a few buttons, worked his magic and a masterpiece was created. By having him in our corner we truly feel that our foundation launch will be a huge success and continue to be fruitful. I will continue to work with Mark on other projects. He is very affordable for the excellent quality product he delivers. Anyone who will work with him in the future will be pleasantly surprised at how good this guy is at designing and developing professional looking websites. Thank you Mark!”

“Mark Lovett is wonderful to work with! I am a graphic designer with limited web experience, so when I needed a website for my own firm, I turned to Mark for help. He enthusiastically agreed to work with me—he did all the setup and technical work, but at the same time, we sat together and he taught me how to get in the back end and do some things myself. He was patient and had a great sense of humor as I tried to grasp this foreign language! I would highly recommend Mark for organizations who need him to handle EVERY aspect of their website, as well as for others, like me, who need help, but also want to be able to change things themselves. Thanks to Mark, I now have a website I am extremely proud of. In addition, he made it happen quickly, which to me was imperative. Bravo Mark and many thanks!”

Mark Lovett is an awesome combination of creativity, artistic talent and the patience to walk with a client through the process of creating a beautiful and highly personalized website. Mark has a great sense of humor and is a delight to work with. As a psychotherapist and author, I wanted my first website to present who I am professionally and personally and still work within my budget. Mark did just that and did it all in three days. Thank you, Mark. I am thrilled with my beautiful website.

review for lovett web design google 5 star

There were three things I was looking for in a web designer:

  1. Empathy-the ability to understand the concept of what I wanted to create.
  2. Design Capability-I did not want a cookie cutter approach that looks like all the other sites on the web.. I wanted a site that was both professional and with a unique look.
  3. Technical Capability-the ability to build a functional site that would work well.

Mark produced on all three counts.

He was effective in getting the site developed and was readily available throughout the entire process.

I would recommend him to anyone who requires a new website or an overhaul of their current one.

Thank you Mark!

“Our website was having major issues, so we searched for a WordPress expert and contacted Mark to look into what was going on. Mark quickly discovered what was wrong and gave us multiple options and costs to correct the issues. Ultimately we opted for a new website. Mark gave us exactly what we wanted, expeditiously and at a fantastic price. We couldn’t be happier and are excited to share our new website with our vendors and clients. Thank you Mark!!”

I had several major issues with my Website, due to older WP codes. After contacting Mark, he replied requesting a summary of my issues by email. Mark contacted me and we were able to speak about how he could help. We met recently, and he was a huge help in resolving issues. Mark has a very pleasant down to earth personality, and is very easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend Mark for your website needs!.

“Mark did a fabulous job on my website project. After I moved my project from another web developer/designer, Mark completed the site in just three days. He was incredibly efficient, responsive, and accessible. I particularly appreciated his clear communication on a variety of large questions and small details. Mark helped me with sorting out issues with my hosting service, making calls and inquiries on my behalf. I look forward to hiring him for site maintenance and SEO work and have already recommended him to colleagues. Thanks, Mark!”

Mark was about the fifth person that we interviewed regarding our website.  The reason we chose to use Mark, was the he listened to us and demonstrated so by creating exactly what we envisioned.  All the others wanted to plop our info into a template that looked the same as every other site, many of which we did not like.  So if you need a technically minded individual with a strong creative side (rare combination) we highly recommend using Mark for your website design, creation, hosting and SEO needs.

In just a couple of days he was able to get my law firm’s WordPress website (which was left in disastrous shape by a previous developer) up and running and migrated to a new hosting service. I could not be more pleased with the service I received from Mark Lovett.”
