Guardian Solutions provides website design and SEO for Springfield, Illinois businesses. Hire us for a defined website project or for agreed content and technical improvements to the site you already use. Tell us what your current provider handles so we can identify the work you want Guardian to take on.
Our team works from Colorado Springs and meets with national clients over Zoom. Start with a free website and SEO audit and 30-minute consultation. You receive findings and recommendations without a purchase obligation. Implementation is a separate scope decision.
Choose who will do the work, as well as the platform
Offers marketed to Springfield businesses include advice for an existing developer, services tied to a provider-managed website, and software the customer uses. These arrangements leave different amounts of work with your team. Establish who will interpret the findings, write the changes and put them on the live site.
With Guardian’s custom SEO, the proposal identifies priority pages, content responsibilities, technical improvements, internal links and reporting. If your developer will publish the changes, name that responsibility. If you want Guardian to implement them, include that work and the access it requires in the scope.
For instance, an outdated service description may need facts from your staff, new writing and a website edit. Installing a tool or receiving a recommendation does not settle those assignments. Agree who supplies the current service details and who produces the checked, published page.
Review the site before deciding to move it
Send the website address, platform if known, and a short description of your existing support arrangement. Guardian offers WordPress support and Joomla support. We assess the installation and relevant dependencies before recommending repairs or continuing support.
You can request the initial public-page review without moving hosting. If later changes are limited by the installed software or available access, that limitation belongs in the proposal before implementation is promised. Discuss the affected requirement rather than assuming a new provider must replace the site.
When the assignment is a website project
If customers need a different structure, clearer service pages or new functionality, discuss a website design project. The proposal defines the pages, writing, forms, integrations, review rounds and launch checks. That gives you a project to evaluate rather than an open-ended promise to “handle the website.”
Published design starting points are $2,500 for starter websites, $5,000–$10,000 for business websites and $10,000+ for custom projects. These are not quotes for your site. The itemized proposal establishes deliverables and continuing costs. Hosting, maintenance and ongoing marketing have their own scope; ownership and access should be documented before work starts.
Bring the website work that is waiting on someone: an unclear service page, a feature that needs changing or a redesign you cannot manage internally. We can discuss which parts Guardian would perform and where your current team remains involved.
Questions about commissioning website work
Can we keep our current website provider?
Yes. An engagement can define work for Guardian alongside changes made by your existing developer. Tell us what the provider already handles. The proposal should assign writing, implementation, approvals and verification without assuming the same task is covered twice.
Who acts on the free audit recommendations?
You choose whether to take the recommendations to your current team or ask Guardian for an implementation proposal. The free review and 30-minute consultation do not authorize website changes or start a paid service.
Do the website starting prices include continuing SEO?
The itemized design proposal defines the project and its launch work. Continuing research, content improvements, local-profile management and other ongoing SEO need an agreed plan. Confirm the ongoing costs and responsibilities alongside the build price.
