StartsMedia

StartsMedia, based in Atlanta and founded in 2008, builds what the agency calls personal and business headquarters websites for small to medium size companies. The focus stays on giving a company a single, owned web address that houses its site, content, and social presence rather than scattering those pieces across platforms.

Project work covers website design, copywriting, SEO, social media setup, blogs, and WordPress content management systems, along with domain-name registration and hosting account establishment. Project managers are described as literate in the marketing language specific to each client's industry, while the programming staff is school-trained and experienced. The agency frames its client relationships around straightforward CRM practices and clear back-and-forth communication during builds.

On larger projects, StartsMedia scales the same components up: enterprise-level website development that folds in WordPress CMS, commercial images, copy, blogs, social media, and SEO into one build. The agency also walks clients through the basics behind any site launch — a domain name, a hosting account (the server space that stores the site's files), and content — and notes that many hosting providers now bundle WordPress or their own site-builder tools into those accounts.
