WHAT WE OFFER
SERVICES
McNeely Web Design offers custom website design, redesigns, and ongoing SEO and AEO optimization for small business owners, authors, and musicians nationwide. Every site is built on Wix, designed mobile-first, and optimized for Google and AI-powered search so clients can actually be found online.
ESTABLISH YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE
01 | Website Design
Your website is often the first real impression a potential client gets, and a generic template or an outdated DIY site undercuts the credibility you've worked hard to build. Sara designs every site from scratch around your brand, digs up your existing reviews and story so you're not starting from a blank page, and uses AI-assisted copywriting as a first draft you review and approve — never as the final word. The result is a site that looks and sounds like you, not like everyone else's.
New website design & development
A brand new site built from scratch, designed for your brand, optimized for performance, and ready to be found online.
Content research & curation
I dig up your existing reviews, testimonials, and online presence so you don't have to start from scratch.
Website redesigns & refreshes
Already have a site that feels outdated? I'll modernize the look, update the content, and bring it up to today's standards
AI-assisted copywriting
I use AI to draft your bio, service descriptions, and process steps. You review and approve before anything goes live.
A SITE THAT IS BUILT RIGHT
02 | Development
Good development is the part clients never see and always benefit from. Sara handles the platform setup so your Wix account and domain stay in your name from day one, optimizes every image for speed and accessibility, and builds with multilingual reach in mind for businesses serving more than one audience. Once you're live, post-launch updates are there whenever you need them — no scrambling to find your original developer six months later.
Multilingual website translation
Reach more clients by offering your site in multiple languages, like Spanish. Commonly done by attorneys.
Platform & hosting setup guide
I walk you through setting up your Wix account and domain step by step — everything stays in your name.
Image optimization & accessibility
Every image is compressed and labeled with alt text — so your site loads fast and is accessible to everyone
Post-launch updates (pay as you go)
Need to swap out a photo, update your bio, or add a new service? Just reach out — you only pay for what you need.
PERFECT TECHNICAL HEALTH
03 | Optimization
A beautiful website doesn't matter if no one finds it. Every project includes technical SEO and AEO setup so your site is ready for both traditional search engines and AI answer tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, along with schema markup, sitemaps, and a fully optimized Google Business Profile. Add in a pre-launch performance test on desktop and mobile, and you're set up to show up, not just exist online.
Technical SEO & AEO setup
I make sure your site is ready for both traditional search engines and AI answer tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.
Performance testing & optimization
I run your site through a performance test before launch to make sure it scores well on both desktop and mobile.
Schema markup & sitemaps
Behind-the-scenes code that helps search engines and AI crawlers understand exactly what your site is about.
Google Business profile setup
I set up and optimize your Google Business profile so you show up in local searches and start collecting reviews.

THE PROCESS
Getting A Website Launched
Free Consultation
Review Estimate
Setup Wix Account
Design & Collaborate
Publish Site
Fill out the contact form or leave a voicemail, and I'll reply with scheduling a free consultation phone call. This call helps me understand your story, goals, and what you're envisioning for your website.
After the consultation, you’ll send me any reference materials—such as pictures or websites that inspire you—and I’ll provide you with a detailed estimate for both your Wix subscription and my design services.
If you're good to go with the estimate, you'll then create a Wix account, choosing a 1-year, 2-year, or 3-year plan. This is when you add me as a site Administrator and I'll send over a service agreement and invoice for security deposit.
I’ll design your homepage and send you a draft for feedback. This phase is collaborative—your input is vital to ensure that the website aligns with your vision. You'll approve everything for the desktop version before I design the mobile version.
Once everything is polished, we’ll enter the final phase. You’ll make the final payment, and I’ll help optimize your site for Google. I’ll also be available for up to three months to assist with any changes, tweaks, or issues that arise after the site goes live.

CONVERSATIONS WITH WOMEN IN LAW
LEGAL MAGNOLIAS
NEW EPISODES WEEKLY!
Legal Magnolias is a space for vibrant women in law to have open, honest conversation about life, work, and play.
In our first season, we sit down with women attorneys across North Carolina whose practice areas are showing up in the headlines every week — heirs property, environmental law, immigration, LGBTQ+ family law, education, and the courts themselves. These are the lawyers doing the work behind the news, and they bring their full selves to the conversation: the wins, the hard days, the why.
Choosing the right designer matters. Sara combines years of experience, deep technical insight, and a client-first approach to deliver a seamless website launch experience from start to finish. Send a message and Sara will reply within 24 hours.
