Your website should help visitors understand what you offer, trust your business, and take action, not just sit online looking “fine.”
If people land on your site but do not contact you, book, buy, subscribe, or keep reading, the problem is often not your product. It may be the page.
A confusing layout, weak mobile experience, unclear message, slow front end, buried call-to-action, or outdated visual design can make visitors hesitate, leave, or choose a competitor who simply looks more trustworthy.
I help businesses turn those gaps into clean, responsive web pages that make the offer easier to understand and the next step easier to take.
Where your website may be losing opportunities:
• Visitors land on the page but do not contact, book, buy, or keep reading
• The site does not explain the offer quickly or clearly enough
• Mobile visitors deal with a slow, cramped, or frustrating experience
• The site looks outdated compared to competitors
• Important services, benefits, pricing, or contact options are hard to find
• Paid, social, or SEO traffic reaches the page but does not turn into enough leads
• The page has too many distractions and does not guide people toward the next step
Ways I can help:
• Build a new responsive landing page or business website from scratch
• Turn your existing design or idea into a working front-end page
• Redesign an outdated page so it looks more trustworthy and is easier to use
• Improve mobile layouts so visitors are not fighting the page on their phones
• Create service, product, portfolio, and contact pages that guide people toward action
• Build reusable front-end sections and components for React or Next.js projects
• Improve WordPress/Elementor pages so they are clearer, cleaner, and easier to navigate
• Clean up front-end performance issues that slow down the user experience
You get both design thinking and front-end implementation in one place. That means fewer handoff problems, less back-and-forth, and a page built around the actual business goal: helping visitors understand the offer and take the next step.
I’ve completed 30 jobs on Upwork through long-term and one-off client projects, so I understand how important clear communication, reliable follow-through, and practical decisions are during a project.
Tools and skills:
React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Figma, Adobe XD, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, WordPress, Elementor, Git/GitHub.
If your website is getting traffic but not enough action, I can help improve the page so visitors can understand your offer faster, trust the business sooner, and take the next step more easily.

My name is Michael, and I’m a Squarespace expert with over a decade of professional web design & development experience.
After working for a web & graphic design agency for 7 years, I am currently transitioning to freelance web design here on Upwork. During my years as a Squarespace designer & developer, I have honed my skills by creating elegant & effective websites for individuals, businesses, and organizations.
My design philosophy:
✦ Focus on Essence – I design with the belief that websites should be streamlined; I will present your product, business or mission clearly so your visitors are inspired to take action without getting bogged down in extraneous details.
✦ An Eye for Beauty – Your website needs to look great. My experience working as both a web developer & graphic designer puts me in a unique position to create attractive, mobile-ready websites that don’t sacrifice form for functionality, and vice versa.
✦ Make Your Vision a Reality – Perhaps most importantly, I’ve learned how to translate my clients’ abstract ideas to the current realities of web design. I believe the role of a designer is not simply to build a website from provided content, but to understand the client’s vision and transmit it through design.
By incorporating these design philosophies via a deep understanding of Squarespace and its design tools, third-party integrations, SEO settings, and modern best practices of web design, I’ve been able to help a vast range of clients to create captivating sites. I look forward to working with you to create your dream website!

Hey there Upwork clients. Are you looking for someone who is smart, easy to work with, and can improve your website traffic? I am an on-page SEO consultant and WordPress web designer. I specialize in on-page SEO, local SEO, and content creation. I have over twenty years of experience with on-page SEO and content marketing. I am located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but I have worked with clients across the United States.
A little about me: Before I started my SEO consulting business, I was the co-founder and editor of a large parenting website. My website received 3 million unique visitors a month at its peak and 80 percent of our traffic came from Google. It was acquired by eHarmony in 2008, and by Internet Brands in 2011, where I worked as an editor and SEO consultant until I started my own SEO consulting business in 2019.
I am confident that I can create high-quality content for your blog or website that will perform well in Google and other search engines. But, I don’t just write for search engines, I write interesting content that your visitors will read.
These are the services I offer on Upwork.
🌟 SEO Content Creation
I write high-quality SEO content optimized for Yoast, Rank Math or All-in-One SEO. I do not use AI writing tools such as chat gbt to create junk content. I thoroughly research each piece of content I write and create well-written, search-engine-optimized content your audience will read.
I use premium SEO tools for keyword research and utilize the best keywords for your content. I make sure that all of my content is well-written and engaging, but also performs well in search engines.
I have 20 years of experience in SEO, both on-page SEO and off-page SEO, content marketing, editing and freelance writing. I can write research and write on nearly any topic. I am comfortable with all aspects of SEO content creation including:
✅ Keyword research
✅ Writing copy for website landing pages
✅ Strategic SEO content planning
✅ Creating SEO content calendars
✅ Managing all aspects of blog creation, editing, and publishing
✅ Writing newsletters
✅ On-page optimization of any type of website content
✅ Internal link building
SEO Services:
🌟On-Page SEO Services for WordPress, Squarespace & YouTube
✅ On-page SEO for WordPress websites and blogs
**Experienced with Yoast, RankMath, All-in-One SEO, and Elementor

✅ On-page SEO for YouTube
**Experienced with VidIQ, keyword research, writing chapter titles, and on-page SEO of YouTube content.
🌟On-Page SEO services include keyword optimization, internal link building, use of H1-H4 tags, and image alt text descriptions.
I can optimize your website content including home pages, about pages, service pages and blogs. I will provide you with the keyword-optimized titles, meta descriptions, and H1 through H4 tags. I will strategically insert your keywords and long-tail keyword phrases into your content and website pages so that it is optimized for search engines but not noticeable to your audience.
My services include internal link building to improve your search engine rankings as well as appropriate external links to improve credibility with search engines. I will ensure that your image alt text descriptions are optimized for better accessibility and to improve your search engine ranking.
I am looking for more SEO projects, WordPress website design projects, and freelance writing projects on Upwork.
I am professional, write well, communicate well, and am excellent at SEO. I complete projects quickly and will communicate with you throughout the process. Please read through my Upwork reviews and get in touch with me if you'd like me to work with you on an SEO project.
