Strategic foundations for long term growth

"A month after the website was complete, I have already seen an increase in business. So I'd say yes, I highly recommend Howle Creative!"
Ryan DeFrisco

You know your website should be doing more

You invested time, money, and several rounds of feedback into your website. Yet it still isn’t bringing in the right leads. It doesn’t appear when people search for your services. Updating a paragraph feels like defusing a device. Meanwhile, your competitors keep showing up on Google and, increasingly, in the answers generated by AI.

You have a business to run. Your website should be helping, not quietly creating another job for you. That is where we come in.

Website design in Seattle

The most common problems we hear

“My website looks fine, but it's not generating leads”

Design without a strategy is just art. We build deliberate user journeys that move people from curiosity to confidence to contact.

“I'm not showing up on Google or AI search results”

You search for your services and your competitors appear instead. Or worse, AI tools recommend someone else entirely.

“My website is outdated or hard to update”

You dread logging in and updates feel risky. We build on platforms that are easy to use, so you aren't afraid to touch your own site.

“I tried SEO or Google Ads before and it didn’t work”

You spent money, got reports, and still didn't see meaningful results.

Updating and re-vamping my website was such an easy process. Everything I wanted given my limitations was achieved and I can't believe how fast and easy it was. I am very pleased with the process and the results.

M. is easy to work with, thorough and very responsive to questions we've had and feedback that has allowed us to come away with a website that we are very happy with and excited to share with anyone who visits our site! The turnaround for our website was also pretty quick. I recommend Howle Creative to anyone wanting a website they can be proud of!

My colleagues and I worked closely with M. Lopez to create the new Squarespace website for the Evergreen Impact Housing Fund. M. was very helpful in getting us organized, providing a thoughtful process, and being a partner in building the website we were looking for. She was accessible throughout the process and had great feedback on how to make the website as appealing as possible for our target audience. The Evergreen Impact Housing Fund is a complicated mechanism that helps increase the supply of affordable housing in Washington State--it's tricky to understand. M. took the time to learn about the Fund and what we wanted to accomplish so that she could make smart recommendations. The new website is beautiful and brings the Fund's work to life. I highly recommend working with M. and the Howle team!

I highly recommend Howle Creative! As a small business it's difficult to find a professional and affordable website designer that takes their time to work with you and figure what you need out of a website and how you want to market your business. Mayte took the time to understand what I wanted and then built me a great website. She's always quick to respond to my questions and helps me understand the process of updating the site and maximizing my SEO so that I can get the most value from it. I'm very happy with the job she's done and hope to continue to work with her in the future!

As a volunteer at a nonprofit food bank performing minor website updates, I was approached about supporting a significant redesign of the website coinciding with a rebrand. Recognizing that this was a job for a professional, we interviewed a number of reputable website designers. The decision to select Howle Creative was easy. In addition to showing a breadth of knowledge during the screening process, M recognized that our plans to migrate to a new website builder platform didn't make sense for our purposes, even though it would have been much more lucrative for Howle. Her honesty and professionalism was demonstrated throughout a very successful project, and she continues to delight us with her follow-through, responsiveness, and solid advice whenever needed.

M helped us get our website up and running, and her expertise has led to most of our business. Reasonably priced services, helpful, and prompt responses to our inquiries. I can’t imagine how long it would have taken us to bumble around trying to set things up ourselves. Well worth the small investment! Thanks M!

Oh my gosh! M is absolutely the best! I have been struggling with my website for years. In just a few days she has done wonders. I am so happy to have found her. She is professional, caring and so very patient. I highly recommend her services. Debra Hodges Real Etsate Services

Why businesses choose Howle Creative

Not all website designers approach growth the same way.

Here’s what sets Howle Creative apart from other Seattle web design agencies:

We design for decisions, not just aesthetics

Every site is built around clear messaging, user intent, and conversion paths, not trends or templates.

We integrate SEO, AI visibility, and design from day one

Most agencies bolt SEO on later. We build websites that are understandable, rankable, and recommendable from launch.

We specialize in WordPress and Squarespace only

That focus means fewer compromises, better performance, and sites you’re not afraid to update yourself.

We stay involved long after launch

Clients don’t get handed off to support queues. We provide ongoing strategy, maintenance, and real answers.

Affordable website design for small businesses

You need a website that drives steady inquiries and makes you look credible instantly.

Real estate websites that close deals. Whether you’re an agent, team, or brokerage, we’ll build a website that gets you noticed and brings in clients.

Before we kick things off, we’ll usually start with a phone or Zoom call to go over your project and make sure we’re a good fit.

Once we get rolling, most of our communication happens over email. It keeps things clear, organized, and easy to track. Prefer to talk by phone? No problem, just book a time if the call will run longer than 15 minutes.

If you’re local to Seattle, we’re happy to meet at your business or a shared office space.

What we’ll need depends on the type of website you’re after. We’ll walk through all the details during our discovery call before we get started.

Depending on the package, we may ask for:

  • Photos of you, your team, or your workspace

  • Written content, PDFs, or marketing materials

  • Staff bios or profiles

  • Videos you’d like featured

  • Login info for your current site (if we’re doing a redesign)

Already have some of this on your existing site? No problem, we can pull what we need and make sure it fits your new design.

That’s great! The first step is to schedule a consultation with us to get to know each other, your business, and your website design needs to ensure we’re the right fit for each other.
