WordPress Raves

skincare clinic website

Graphic Design: Alta Rose Design
Custom WordPress Development: Scott Marlow

A new mobile responsive website redesign for Casey Rasmussen’s West Seattle skin care clinic. The new site features an updated color palette, with a more modern visual design; plus online booking and social media integration. An extended site footer displays easy-to-find contact information.

Having worked with Scott over the years, I’ve learned he is not only a design/development person but offers so much more!

Scott has excellent recommendations… He brings a strong working knowledge of marketing and how to best serve his clients in an ever changing technical world. He has always been patient and extremely helpful at explaining details… As my business has grown, Scott has kept me ranking top in my category through SEO, keyword and design strategies. My web reports substantiate a regular increase in traffic to my site and my business has grown verifiably since we started working together.

There is great value investing in a website but I never expected to have such a consistent and noticeable increase in business without spending 20k on a new website… One of my favorite things about Scott is he will be as hands on or hands off as I want. …I’d prefer to outsource my maintenance, updates and overall web care to Scott. When a challenge presents itself I can call and trust that everything will be worked out, efficiently…

It’s been refreshing to work with a small entity, like Marketing by Marlow and gain tons of useful information but with a personal touch.

Indie WordPress Website

Performance Optimization and WordPress Mobile Responsive Development by: Scott Marlow

West Seattle indie musician, Trevor Ras, needed a site refresh.

His old, fixed-width site layout was not keeping up with the times. Audiences prefer mobile responsive sites that are easy to access on the road – whether at local pubs, clubs, or this favorite hangout above: McMeanamins Edgefield in Troutdale, OR.

Trevor’s new WordPress site responds to mobile devices of all types. And performance was improved by reducing page load size 52%. Take a look, and listen…
