Web Design & Development Services
Your website is often the first way that your clients and prospects learn about your brand, so it has to work hard — making a visual impression, loading quickly and helping users find the content they seek — ultimately driving engagement and conversions.
After consulting with your team to define the overall goals, audiences and functionality for the website, we guide the process through UX site architecture (sitemaps, wireframes, overall content strategy), web design, copywriting, SEO, web development, CMS implementation, maintenance and hosting, and ongoing digital marketing, ABM and analytics. The scope can range from small microsites and landing pages to robust e-commerce sites and portals — and anywhere in-between.
Our team is a group of experts that are in tune with what your brand and your audience needs, collaborating every step of the way, from initial brainstorms through testing on multiple browsers, phones and tablets. Features and functionality are always considered from user experience, visual and development perspectives.

70% of buyer research happens before sales involvement
As we dive into your customers’ needs to help shape your website goals and craft key messages, we’re mindful that prospects are visiting your site to research your company long before they contact sales.
How effective is your website today?
The website is your firm’s marketing hub — a place where you convert visitors into leads and leads into sales. For your site to generate more leads and subsequent conversions, it must become a trustworthy and authoritative voice in your niche. As a result, you’ll attract more visitors and increase brand visibility. How would you answer these four questions?
- Can engineers or technicians learn something new from your content?
- Can they quickly find and download your latest product datasheets?
- Can you capture website activity and provide the sales team with qualified leads?
- Can you engage prospects and drive repeat visits to stay top of mind during a long, complex sales cycle?
Turn visitors into qualified leads
Because technical buyers and engineers have little time to waste, you need to guide them as quickly as you can to what they’re looking for. Rather than showing them “marketing fluff,” help them find that datasheet and answers to the questions they need!
The website features that help you turn visitors into customers include factors such as loading speed, the preciseness of your product database and filtering, and how easy it is for engineers to discern which product or product line is right for them.
Using disciplined processes and proven, agile methodologies, Windmill Strategy partners with you to design and build a site that achieves all your goals.
Whether you need a lead-generation machine, a website that backs up referrals, a B2B e-commerce center, or all of the above, we have your back. Let’s Talk
