SEO Ready™ Website Design
A website that brings your ideal clients to you
SEO Ready™ Website Design is a done-for-you service from Morris & Co. Marketing that builds custom Showit websites with SEO strategy integrated from day one. Built for creative entrepreneurs, law firms, and wedding professionals ready for a site that brings the right clients to them.
What is SEO Ready™ Website Design?
SEO Ready™ Website Design is custom website design and SEO strategy built together in one project. Instead of designing a site and adding SEO afterward, Morris & Co. Marketing builds the keyword research, site architecture, and conversion goals into the design from the first strategy call through launch.
The service is provided remotely for creative entrepreneurs, law firms, and wedding professionals across the United States. Every site is designed on Showit with a WordPress blog, and every project is custom quoted after a complimentary discovery call.
You built a beautiful website. Now what?
Your website looks good. It reflects your brand. You put thought into every detail.
And then the traffic does not come. The inquiries feel like they are from the wrong clients. You are not sure what you are supposed to do next. A VIP Day can build the SEO foundation into the site you have, but sometimes the site itself needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
SEO Ready™ Website Design closes that gap. It sits at the intersection of branding, marketing, and search engine optimization: custom Showit design where every decision is rooted in data, keyword research, and real client behavior. Not a template, and not SEO slapped onto a pretty design. Design and SEO working together from the start.
This is the gap between a website and a website that works.
From portfolio site to revenue engine
When design and SEO are built together, your website stops being something you point people to and starts being the thing that brings them in. Here is what that looks like on the other side.
- Organic search traffic grows month over month from the keywords your ideal clients actually use.
- Inquiries align with the clients and projects you actually want to book.
- Every page is built on keyword research and competitive data, not guesswork.
- Design decisions support the visitor journey and your conversion goals.
- You leave with a clear plan for what website maintenance looks like after launch.
A website can be beautiful. A website that works is beautiful and strategic.
SEO Ready™ Website Design
Six phases, one revenue-ready website
Every SEO Ready™ Website Design project moves through the same six phases, so you always know where you are and what comes next.
Strategy before pixels
A one-on-one strategy call to understand your business inside and out. Your goals, the clients you want to attract, the services you offer, and what makes you different. This is where we align on what success looks like.
What your clients search
Keyword research reveals what your target clients are actually searching for. We analyze your competitors, assess what ranks in your space, and build the SEO strategy that becomes the foundation of your website.
Every page with a job
Based on the research, we map the exact pages you need, how they connect, and the content structure that supports both SEO and user experience. You see the full picture before design begins.
Custom Showit design
Your site is designed at the intersection of your brand identity, the conversion goals we set together, and the SEO strategy. Every element serves a purpose. Custom, true to you, and built to convert.
Built in, not bolted on
Technical and on-page SEO implemented across the site, from indexing and page structure to metadata, image SEO, and internal linking, all tuned for the Showit platform.
Tested, tracked, live
Pre-launch testing, analytics and Search Console configured, and a clean go-live. Your site launches measurable, so you can see what it earns from day one.
A website that works while you work
A custom Showit site built on keyword research, launched measurable, and converting the visitors who land on it from day one.
Benefits of Website Design
When design and SEO are built together from the start, every part of the project serves the same goal. Here is what that produces.
Design rooted in data
Every design decision is rooted in keyword research, competitive data, and conversion strategy. The result is a site built to attract the right clients, not just look good.
Built from scratch on Showit
Your site is designed from scratch on Showit, built around your brand identity and your goals. Not adapted from a pre-built framework, and not designed in isolation from the strategy underneath.
Search visibility built in
Keyword research, site architecture, and on-page SEO are built into the design from the first strategy call. Your site launches ready for search, not waiting for an SEO retrofit.
Data from day one
Analytics and Search Console are configured at launch, so you can see where visitors come from, what they do, and whether the site is converting from its first week.
Six phases, no surprises
Six phases with clear milestones and feedback cycles. You always know where the project stands and what comes next, from strategy through go-live.
A site you can run
Your project ends with full training on the finished site. You can update galleries, swap images, and edit copy with confidence, and you own every asset.
Inquiring takes five minutes. The process takes care of the rest.
The full project typically runs 8 to 12 weeks from start to launch, depending on feedback cycles and content needs. The timeline is predictable because the process is clear.
Inquire and meet
A short inquiry through the contact page, then a complimentary discovery call on Google Meet. We talk about your business, your goals, and whether this is the right fit.
Strategy and design
Keyword research, competitive analysis, and site architecture come first, then custom Showit design built on top of them. Clear feedback cycles keep you in the loop the whole way.
Optimize and launch
SEO implementation, pre-launch testing, analytics and Search Console setup, then go-live. You get a full walkthrough at handoff so you can maintain the site with confidence.

Website Migration
Website Migration moves established websites to Showit or WordPress without losing the traffic and rankings they have earned. It is not enough to install a new design and switch the CNAME records. A successful migration is planned, mapped, and measured, so the new site inherits everything the old one earned.
Website Migration is built for:
- Established sites moving to Showit or WordPress from Squarespace, Wix, Pixieset, ProPhoto, or another platform
- Business owners whose current pages already rank and bring in inquiries
- Redesigns where URLs, redirects, metadata, and DNS have to move without a gap
Done-for-you

Showit SEO is built for:
- Showit site owners still running on the platform’s default SEO settings

Your questions, answered
I already have a beautiful website. Do I really need a redesign?
A beautiful website may still need a website design rebuild if it was built without SEO input, because building design and SEO together is often faster than retrofitting SEO onto something that was not built for it. We review your current site on your discovery call and tell you honestly whether a redesign or SEO-focused updates make more sense for your situation.
What makes the investment worth it?
Website Design replaces three separate engagements: a custom brand-aligned design, an SEO strategy built on keyword research, and full technical implementation. Bought separately, those routinely cost more and rarely work together. And because every Morris & Co. Marketing project is custom quoted on your discovery call, you know exactly what your scope includes before anything begins.
How much does a custom website design cost?
Custom website design with Morris & Co. Marketing starts at $10,000 for complete custom design, SEO strategy, and implementation. Payment plans are available, and every project is custom quoted after a complimentary discovery call, so your scope matches your site, your market, and your goals.
How long does the process take?
The Website Design process takes 8 to 12 weeks from start to launch for most projects, depending on feedback cycles and content needs. The timeline is predictable because the process is clear: strategy and research first, then design, then SEO implementation and launch. You will know what to expect at every step.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes, after your website design project launches you can update the site yourself. Showit’s drag and drop editor is one of the reasons we build on it. Your project ends with a full handoff walkthrough on your finished site, so you can update galleries, swap images, and edit copy with confidence without touching the SEO foundation underneath.
Will this bring me clients, not just traffic?
Bringing you clients rather than just traffic is the entire point of a website design built on SEO strategy. The keyword research targets the searches your ideal clients make when they are ready to hire, and the design decisions guide those visitors toward inquiring. Traffic without conversion is a vanity metric, and conversion is designed in from day one.
Who owns the website?
You own everything your website design project produces. You retain full ownership of your site, your domain, and your content. The project ends with handoff training on your finished site, so it is truly yours to run.
Do you need my branding before we start?
Yes. Website Design starts from your existing brand identity, so a full logo suite and brand guidelines need to be in place before we finalize the agreement. If your brand is not there yet, mention it on your discovery call and we will point you to the right first step.
What is not included?
Not included are ongoing content writing and monthly website maintenance, which are separate services. Your project includes a clear plan for what maintenance looks like after launch, and we can talk about whether either service fits your goals on your discovery call.
