MacDragon Web design and marketing

Based in Winooski, Vermont, this small web design and marketing operation works with growing and established mission-driven businesses looking to build or maintain their online presence. Its client base tends toward small business owners and independent professionals — including bloggers, storytellers, and consultants — who want a hands-on partner rather than a large agency relationship. The team is small, with the work centered around direct, personalized communication between the business owner and their designer, and an emphasis on teaching clients to manage their own sites over time rather than keeping them dependent on outside support. Services cover web design and development, UX/UI design, SEO, marketing strategy, and business consulting, applied to custom e-commerce, subscription, and educational websites. Every design build includes a fully responsive custom layout, newsletter and blog integration, font and color scheme selection, stock or custom photo selection, contact and newsletter sign-up forms, social media linking, SMTP setup with mail logging, and site speed tuning for faster load times. Technical setup also covers out-of-the-box WordPress security, Google Analytics and Search Console connection with search engine and sitemap submission, and Yoast SEO tool configuration. Ongoing site management includes monthly or weekly automatic backups, a documented outline and checklist of the build process from start to finish, and a one-hour guided tour of the finished website so clients understand how their site works before taking over day-to-day maintenance themselves.
