Guardian Solutions offers website design and SEO for Lakewood, Colorado businesses. If you are comparing providers, first identify whether you need a website built, an existing site improved, or continuing local visibility work. Those are different purchases.
We work from Colorado Springs and collaborate through Zoom. A free website and SEO audit with a 30-minute consultation provides recommendations before you choose paid work, with no purchase obligation.

A new website and an SEO plan solve different problems
You need a new or substantially redesigned website
Guardian’s website design work includes business discovery, research, content, responsive design, and development. Published starting prices and ranges are starter websites from $2,500, business websites at $5,000–$10,000, and custom projects at $10,000+. Your itemized proposal defines the pages, content, functionality, review rounds, launch checks, and ongoing costs. Hosting, ongoing support, and marketing have their own agreed scope.
Your existing website needs specific improvements
A missing service explanation, difficult mobile layout, or broken contact path may need focused work. Guardian offers WordPress support and Joomla support as well as design. Share the site and problem before deciding that a replacement is necessary.
The site works, but local discovery needs attention
The published local SEO plan costs $495 per month for one location, with no long-term commitment. It includes research for 10 local keywords, Google Business Profile optimization, review tools and monitoring, weekly Google posts, a Q&A strategy, directory syndication, and monthly heatmap ranking reports.
That plan does not include a new website. Repairs, additional locations, and expanded service-area content require a separate agreed scope. For wider technical and content needs, ongoing SEO is scoped around the website, competition, and priority work.
Know which costs continue after the website is built
A website subscription, a design project, and recurring SEO can all carry monthly prices while including different work. When comparing a proposal for your Lakewood business, identify:
- The build: pages, content, design, functionality, and the review and launch work.
- Site care: hosting, updates, backups, support, and which services continue after launch.
- Marketing: local-profile work, service-page content, technical SEO, or advertising, with separate scope where required.
Ask for ownership, access, ongoing charges, and any cancellation or handover terms to be clear in the agreement. Do not assume a lower monthly figure buys the same work or that a website project automatically includes continuing SEO.
Reporting should match what you purchased. Local heatmaps show ranking visibility. A design project should be evaluated against its agreed pages and functions; inquiry and sales outcomes need their own evidence. None of these services guarantees a particular ranking or lead total.
Review the website work as well as the offer
Browse Guardian’s website portfolio and client testimonials to assess the design work and working experience.
Rod Mench Studios provides a practical example of how website content can support a buying decision. In the historical client account summarized on Guardian’s website design page, Sam Kane and Rod Mench described committee members in different states reviewing the studio’s products and completed and in-progress work together during a conference call. Their site launched in September 2015. This illustrates a website function, not a forecast of results for a new project.
Bring the current site or the requirements for a new one
Tell us what customers need to do on the website and what is not working today. If you are comparing a site subscription with a separate website project and SEO plan, bring the requirements so the discussion can focus on included work.

Questions before choosing Guardian
Does the $495 local SEO plan include website design or hosting?
It is the published one-location local SEO service, not a website-build package. Website design, repairs, hosting, and other requirements should be identified separately in the proposal rather than assumed to be included.
Can you work on a site another company built?
Guardian offers support for existing WordPress and Joomla websites. Share the platform, current site, and required changes so the condition and appropriate scope can be assessed.
Does the free consultation commit me to a project?
No. The free audit includes a review, recommendations, and a 30-minute consultation with no purchase obligation. Implementation and ongoing services require a separate agreed scope.
