Pawleys Island, SC., June 20, 2022 Website Simpler, an innovator in small business website design and digital marketing, has opened its doors in Pawleys Island at the Litchfield Collective.

Website Simpler provides a suite of small business-friendly website design, graphic design, video production, and digital marketing services.

“As small business owners ourselves, we understand the need for affordable website design and digital marketing solutions,” said Sean Hakes, Founder of Website Simpler.

For as little as $1,295, small businesses can get a stunning new website that is designed to outperform the competition in major search engines like Google but also be an unmatched experience for potential customers and visitors alike.

“We’ve taken our 21+ years of experience in the business and simplified the process based on feedback we’ve received over the years. Our sites don’t take months to complete most customers can get into a new site in a week or less,” Hakes added.

Website Simpler has not only simplified the website design process, but they’ve also simplified marketing allowing customers to tap into search engine optimization, email marketing, geofencing, social media marketing, and other important digital marketing strategies for much less than a traditional agency or even freelancer.

“We want to make the process as easy for our customers as possible. This is one of the reasons we opened up a retail location in Pawleys Island.

Webmaster Cafe

Litchfield Collective is pleased to announce our first incubator project, Webmaster Cafe. Located inside Litchfield Collective at 14361 Ocean Hwy, Webmaster Cafe will cater to a growing need for digital media support services.

There are unlimited stores dedicated to helping repair computers, but what about a storefront that caters to business web needs such as broken websites, suspended social media pages, graphic design, Google maps, and more?

For months, we’ve met with local business owners frustrated there wasn’t a local shop where they could sit down with a real person and discuss their web-based challenges. That’s when Webmaster Cafe dreamt and was created.

Effectively, business owners can immediately walk into the Webmaster Cafe and get support to simplify the ever-changing landscape of web, social, digital marketing, design, and more.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to launch Webmaster Cafe,” said Sean Michal. “This is a new concept I’m certain will be a hit. Business owners are tired of speaking with overseas support teams and want real interaction, from a real person that can address and fix their digital media needs,” he added.

Webmaster Cafe will operate Mon-Fri from 8 AM to 9 PM. While walk-ins are welcome, call and set up an appointment by calling (843) 279-4558.

Many companies are now choosing to run a Virtual Office. This is a great way for small business owners to have a physical office that is accessible from home or an alternative location. The virtual office package you choose can include everything from mail receiving and forwarding to onsite receptionists. You can even hire people to help you with things like greeting customers and setting up meetings. These benefits are invaluable for small businesses and can help you to focus on your core business tasks.

Using our Georgetown Virtual Office is ideal for those who want a professional business address. In addition to a professional business address, you can also get a mail opening and scanning service. A virtual office will also help you stay organized with the admin. The best way to use a Virtual Office is to find a space that offers the services that you need. A virtual office will give you the professional appearance that you want. In addition, you’ll be able to save money on office rent.

A number of advantages come with a Virtual Office. The main benefit is the prestigious address. While many entrepreneurs will work from their homes, they’ll still want a business address. The address is essential to clients and potential customers and will be displayed on business cards, websites, and marketing materials. But while you can work from anywhere, a real physical address will give you the edge over your competitors. You can also forward the mail that comes to your home or a coworking space to your virtual office.

One of the benefits of a Georgetown/Pawleys Island virtual office is that it allows you to expand your business without having to move to a larger space. A traditional office requires you to relocate and pay more rent. In contrast, a virtual office doesn’t limit you to a specific amount of space and allows you to try new markets and industries without the hassle of finding the right location. This is a great benefit for a business owner looking to expand.

A virtual office is an important part of a company’s success. A professional image is the backbone of a business, and a poor impression is often fatal to a new business. However, it is important to choose the right office for your needs and budget. While the costs vary depending on the location, you can be sure that the services you need will be of high quality. This is a great option for small businesses that need to grow quickly and have flexibility.

A virtual office is a great option for many small businesses. It allows you to have a professional space that looks and feels like a traditional office but is available from any location.

It is important to define your work-life separation so that you can maximize productivity and employee satisfaction. Then, you can choose the right type of virtual office for your needs.

A virtual office can be very convenient. You can conduct business wherever you need to, and you can be in a quiet environment. With a virtual office, you can avoid the hassles of running an office and focus on building your brand. In addition, it offers more flexibility than a regular business, and you can work whenever you want. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about insurance, building maintenance, and FM demands. A virtual address can give you a competitive edge over your competitors.

Some virtual offices offer conference rooms and receptionist services. You can schedule meetings in the virtual office to keep your employees informed about the latest developments in the business. These services can also help you avoid wasting time and money by dealing with unprofessional people. For example, you can avoid paying too much for a virtual office service.

In addition to creating a more productive work environment, a coworking community can improve your mental health. In a recent survey, more than 50% of respondents said that the coworking atmosphere had a positive impact on their productivity. While they were able to make more connections, they also noted that they felt better about their work, which in turn improved their self-esteem. In a recent article, Entrepreneur.com highlighted some of the benefits of coworking as an alternative workspace and conference room.

A coworking space can help you achieve your goals and get more done. There are a variety of benefits, including lower costs and more flexible hours. For example, a coworking center can provide flexible office space. The majority of these spaces are not private. Depending on the type of work you do, you may have to pay a nominal fee. This allows you to work with limited overhead.

A coworking shared workspace can foster creativity and support. You can interact with like-minded people who share the same interests as you. You may even be able to find assistance with areas of your business where you need it. This way, you can develop your skills and create an excellent work environment. With a supportive community, you can meet new people and learn from each other. In addition to improving your work environment, a coworking space can also increase your business’s productivity and partnerships.

In addition to flexible membership options, coworking spaces provide flexible agreements, which means you don’t have to sign long-term commitments. You can cancel your subscription anytime if you’re not satisfied. Often, the best part about a coworking space is that you can try it out for free and if you like it, you can continue to use it. However, if you aren’t satisfied, you can simply end your membership and move on.

When you join a coworking space, you can choose to pay a fixed monthly fee or a one-time fee. You’ll be able to use the space for as long as you need it. This makes coworking spaces the ideal solution for many different types of businesses. For example, if you’re looking for a place to work with other creatives, you can network in the common area. If you’re interested in making connections, it’s a great idea to attend community events or simply book a quiet conference room or meeting room for that important upcoming gig.

A coworking space is a place where people from different industries can come together and work on projects. In many cases, the coworkers have the same goals as you, but they still work on different projects. A coworking space will allow you to collaborate with people who have different backgrounds, and it’s a great place to network. As an added benefit, you can be sure that you’ll have access to a wide range of resources and services.

Some coworking spaces offer dedicated desks. These are perfect perks for people and startups who need a private space. Dedicated desks give you more privacy than you might have in your own home. The dedicated desks will allow you to work without interruption. This is a great feature for coworking spaces that will help you be more productive. The coworking space is the perfect place for creatives. Its diverse environment will inspire you to take your business to the next level.

A coworking space allows you to network with other professionals and freelancers. This is a great way to build a strong connection with other people and boost your creativity. There are many advantages to coworking spaces. Some of them are described below. This kind of workspace also allows you to spend more time with your family. You can find a coworking space that works for you. If you are looking for a more rural setting to focus on your work, a rural coworking space will give you the freedom to choose your location.

Another major benefit of coworking spaces is flexibility. Most of them have flexible hours, which is important for creatives. Not only does this make it more comfortable, but it is also a good way to stay away from the rat race. While coworking spaces can be a great place to work, they are not always suitable for everyone. While they are beneficial for many business owners, they can hinder productivity. Therefore, a well-designed office should be designed to encourage creativity and collaboration among small businesses.
