Learn About Us
I have been working with James for a few years, and had him develop a website on short notice, and then a year later take his advice on how to pivot some of the content again.
I am not tech, I needed help. James is responsive, gives great guidance, creative, and practical. He guided me on developing all the content as well as moving my domain from one web hosting company to a much better domain registrar. I have bought another website for a second business, and felt comfortable doing so because of his professional services.
Why You Need a Website
Credibility. An updated website signals that your business is active and invested in professional quality rather than merely an amateur competitor.
Verification. Even people who discover you via word-of-mouth will likely look you up online afterward to vibe whether you are legit.
Presentation. Your website can display a tailored presentation of your products and services so that you don't have to be available for every elevator pitch yourself.
Information. Your website is not at the mercy of social media algorithms, allowing people to find your core information without scrolling a feed.
Branding. Social media does not allow you to present your truest self due to its design constraints. A website can deliver your visual messaging.
Search Engines. Your website is far easier to find on Google than your social media pages when someone searches for you or your services.
Why You Need a Better Website
SEO. Search engines love quick load times and carefully-constructed content. Your fast and thoughtful website is more likely to outrank competitors who threw info onto a pagebuilder.
User Experience. 40% of users will click away from your website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. A few wasted seconds greatly increases the chance someone will back out and not return.
Comparisons. Customers comparing similar vendors often choose the vendor with the better website on the subconscious assumption that it indicates a higher level of service.
Confidence. Your real-life interactions are easier when you can confidently recommend your website with no hangups or quirks to explain beforehand.
Security. Avoid consuming your time, resources, and reputation by having a well-crafted and well-maintained website that is not subject to security issues.
Perception. Stanford research shows 75% of customers judge your credibility based solely on website design. An updated website with a timeless style indicates that you are active and thriving.

James and Foxfang have been such a pleasure to work with over the years. Website updates, maintenance, and design were a HUGE issue for our business before we started working with James. It was so difficult to find someone reliable, responsive, and reasonably priced.
Over the last several years, James has taken all of this off our plate and handled everything behind the scenes. When we first started working together, I remember telling him, “What I really want is to not have to think about this aspect of our business.” He has absolutely delivered on that commitment!
Not only did he build our website, but he is incredibly responsive to all the little things we've needed tweaked, updated, or added as our business has grown and shifted focus over the years.
I would wholeheartedly recommend James and Foxfang to anyone looking for reliable, responsive, and professional website services!
In support of local business, Foxfang is honored to be an active member of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce.
