How to Choose a Website Design Company

  • Portfolio: do their sites look modern and load fast on mobile?
  • Strategy: do they ask about your goals, customers and competitors before quoting?
  • SEO expertise: will they protect existing rankings and build SEO into the new site?
  • Content: who writes the copy, and is it built for search and AI answers?
  • Ownership: will you own your website, domain and accounts?
  • Support: what happens after launch, from hosting to ongoing improvements?

Why Choose M16 Marketing

M16 Marketing is a strategy-first digital marketing agency headquartered in Atlanta and serving clients nationwide. Our clients have generated more than $2B in revenue with M16, and we hold 200+ five-star reviews and 100+ national and local awards.

  • Strategy before tactics: every website program starts with your goals, margins and customer lifetime value.
  • In-house team: strategists, writers, designers, developers and media buyers under one roof.
  • Integrated channels: SEO, AEO, paid media, content, social and web run on one plan.
  • Transparent reporting: results reported in leads, pipeline and revenue.
  • You own everything: accounts, data, content and creative belong to you.

Custom Website Design vs. Templates

A custom website is designed around your brand, buyers and conversion goals; a template is a pre-built layout adapted to fit. Templates can work for very simple sites, but they tend to look like competitors, carry unused code that slows pages down and limit how you can structure content for search.

  • Brand differentiation: a custom design makes you memorable instead of interchangeable.
  • Performance: lean, purpose-built code loads faster and scores better on Core Web Vitals.
  • SEO structure: page templates are built around your keyword map, not the other way around.
  • Conversion: layouts are designed for your sales process, from lead forms to booking and ecommerce.
  • Scalability: a design system lets you add pages and sections without breaking the look.

Every M16 website is custom, built on WordPress so your team keeps full control after launch.

Website Redesign Services

A website redesign rebuilds your site’s design, structure and content to improve performance without losing the search equity you have already earned. Most redesigns fail on SEO because URLs change, content gets cut and redirects are missed. Our redesign process protects what works:

  1. Benchmark: record current rankings, traffic, conversions and top pages.
  2. Content audit: keep, improve, merge or retire every page based on data.
  3. URL and redirect map: every old URL gets a 301 redirect to its best new match.
  4. Rebuild: new design, faster code, schema and answer-first content.
  5. Launch monitoring: track rankings, crawl errors and conversions daily after launch.

Signs it is time to redesign: your site looks dated, loads slowly on mobile, is hard to update, does not generate leads, or no longer reflects what you sell.

Website Design for Small Businesses

Small business websites need to do a lot with a focused budget: build trust fast, rank for local and service searches, and turn visitors into calls and form fills. We focus small business builds on the pages that drive revenue (home, core services, locations, about, contact), strong reviews and proof, clear calls to action, and local SEO foundations such as LocalBusiness schema and Google Business Profile alignment. See how local SEO works.

B2B Website Design

B2B website design is built for long sales cycles, multiple decision-makers and buyers who research extensively before they ever talk to sales. B2B sites need more depth than consumer sites: detailed service and solution pages, industry pages, case studies, resources and clear paths for different roles.

  • Messaging for each buying-committee role, from end users to executives
  • Industry and use-case pages that match how buyers search
  • Case studies and proof placed throughout the journey
  • Gated and ungated resources that capture and nurture leads
  • CRM and marketing automation integrations
  • Answer-first content that gets cited when buyers research with AI assistants

How Much Does Website Design Cost?

Professional website design typically costs from the low five figures for a focused small business site to six figures for complex, multi-region builds. Price depends on:

  • Page count and templates: more unique layouts mean more design and development.
  • Functionality: ecommerce, portals, calculators, booking and custom features.
  • Integrations: CRM, ERP, payment, scheduling and marketing platforms.
  • Content: whether copy, photography and video are created or supplied.
  • SEO and migration: redirect mapping and content optimization for existing sites.

M16 projects start at $16,200 for Starter builds, with Growth and Enterprise tiers for larger scopes. See full details on our pricing page.

Mobile-First, Accessible and Built for AI Search

Most visitors arrive on a phone, so we design mobile layouts first and scale up. We follow accessibility best practices for color contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text and semantic headings, which helps every visitor and reduces legal risk. Learn the principles in our guide to WCAG accessibility.

We also structure every site for AI discovery: clear headings, direct answers, FAQs and schema so assistants like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews can understand and cite your business. That is the same approach behind our answer engine optimization services.

What You Can Expect After Launch

A new website is the start of growth, not the finish line. After launch we monitor performance, fix issues fast and help you keep improving through SEO services, content marketing, PPC and conversion optimization. Our managed WordPress hosting and care plans keep your site secure, updated and fast.

WordPress Website Design

WordPress powers a large share of the web because it is flexible, secure when properly managed, and easy for teams to update. Our WordPress website design approach uses a modern visual builder and a reusable design system, so pages stay consistent and fast while your team can add new content without a developer. We keep plugins lean, harden security, and pair every build with managed WordPress hosting for speed and reliability.

  • Custom themes and components, not bloated multipurpose templates
  • Editor-friendly layouts with locked brand styles
  • SEO plugin configuration, schema and XML sitemaps
  • Forms, CRM and analytics integrations
  • Staging environments for safe updates

Website Design and Branding

Your website is often the first full expression of your brand. When your logo, colors, typography or messaging need refinement, we align them before design begins so the website, social profiles and sales materials all tell the same story. Every M16 build includes brand-voiced content and branding refinement. For companies merging brands, see our brand consolidation services.

Common Website Design Mistakes to Avoid

  • Designing before planning: skipping goals, sitemap and content strategy leads to rework and weak results.
  • Ignoring SEO during a redesign: changed URLs without redirects can wipe out years of rankings.
  • Prioritizing looks over speed: heavy animations and oversized images hurt mobile performance.
  • Vague messaging: visitors should understand what you do, for whom and why it matters within seconds.
  • Weak calls to action: every page needs a clear next step.
  • No plan after launch: sites that are never updated slowly lose rankings and relevance.
