“Slamdot first designed my website in 2014. This year I decided it needed a makeover. The process required me to work with several people there: Daniel, Jessica, Kaitlin, and Phil. Each guided me through the process, with Kaitlin being the final go-to person when my new website went live. I could not be more pleased! I love my "new" website. The process went smoothly and was handled expertly by this Slamdot team. I always felt that I knew what was going on and what to expect during the design process. They let me ask a hundred questions! It has been a joy to work with each one of these professional and personable employees, and I can recommend Slamdot without reservation for both website hosting and website design. I'm definitely a satisfied customer!”

Slamdot was great to work with. We had very specific ideas, with very little knowledge about how to make them happen. Slamdot helped us make all of our ideas come together on a very user friendly and informative website that we are proud to show off. Thanks Slamdot.

Website Design

Your online marketing efforts begin and end with your website. Great website design can make or break a digital marketing campaign. It’s important because your SEO depends on it, your authenticity depends on it, and your dollar depends on it. In many cases, your website is the first impression you make, and if it doesn’t stand out from the competition, or worse, if it doesn’t function properly, then you could be losing business. We’ll help you build an affordable, mobile-friendly website to accompany your digital marketing campaign.
