Carol guided us through a much needed update to our website and social media presence. She communicated well, guided our decision-making process, and helped us meet and exceed our objectives with our new website and social media presence.

We have already received several compliments on our website and increased inquiries about our work.

We are a ministry organization that was in desperate need of a major website makeover and were encouraged to consider working with Carol Galstad and Essential Web Strategies for our new website. And are we ever glad we did!  Carol took the time to listen to our needs, smile through our less than knowledgeable feedback about what we’d like to see, and overall gave us wonderful help to articulate and design an online presence that is second to none!

Her easy-to-understand Blueprint overview was so helpful, always while giving us clear direction on content and design. The Strategy checked every box needed to clearly communicate what we do to a growing online audience.  

Ongoing updates and additions of new and time-sensitive pages to the site have been optimal turn-around time.  We later added podcast programming to the site and she did a wonderful job making access to it so simple and so easy.  Without hesitation, we gladly recommend Carol Galstad and Essential Web Strategies to any organization looking to raise their online presence to the highest quality possible.  Like us, you’ll be glad you did!

Thanks to Carol at Essential Web Strategies for her expertise to improve LAPS internet presence. In 2020 she donated her strategy service to review and update our internet presence, to increase our visibility when potential clients are searching for us. At the same time, she tweaked our online content to make it more mobile-friendly. With 98% of our target demographic owning smartphones, this strategy helped us exponentially! 

In 2021, we signed up for the Power Hour Service, and also a fresh new website. It’s been so positive for our organization to partner with Essential Web Strategies. Thanks, Carol!

We spent close to 3 years creating a start-up company with a completely new concept of enriching the culture within companies. Once we figured out our concept, we needed to re-vamp our website to match the solution we actually created.

Our goal was to drive prospective companies to our site so they could easily understand what we do. We wanted a local company that we could trust so we contacted Essential Web Strategies.

Carol is truly amazing at what she does. We really appreciated her truly ‘hearing’ the style we wanted to portray as she re-created our company website. She nailed it!!!! The niche strategy provided the direction we needed for our online presence. The value we received far outweighed our cost.

Startup Web Strategy + Website

We were in the middle of setting up a new business and commissioned Carol to get a website up and running for us. With great patience and little information she hit it out of the park with a great website strategy and website within our budget.

Professional, accurate and keeps you on task.

The Web Strategy Blueprint has been very beneficial. The process has also helped lead our team to discuss ideas and solutions.

Starting a new business endeavor, I needed some direction for my web presence. The Blueprint was educational and the process was actually fun for someone who is not tech-savvy. It brought clarity to what was unclear.

Nothing compared to the in-depth research Carol did on the best places to market my type of business online.

Every quarter I enjoy learning more and seeing the progress that’s being made during our Power Hours.

Since partnering with Essential Web Strategies our website traffic numbers, interactions and bookings have increased.

SEO is not in my wheelhouse but the Blueprint is easy to read and gives me a clear picture of what I need to know.

The quarterly Power Hours have been so beneficial for my business and keep me engaged with the exterior view of our online presence. Great service!
