Reliable, responsive and reasonable web designers in the metro area

Chattanooga is a hidden gem on the eastern seaboard. The city has an interesting confluence of outdoor activities, historical significance, and geological beauty. Whether you are taking a half-day to explore Lookout Mountain, walking the Tennessee Riverwalk, or catching a Lookouts game at AT&T field - Chattanooga is a fun place to be. Chattanooga is also a leader in the digital realm, being the first city in the western hemisphere to offer 1 gigabit-per-second internet in 2010. This is why business leaders must take digital marketing seriously with a population with access to historically fast internet (hence Chattanooga's nickname "Gig City").

Some of our staff lives in Chattanooga (specifically East Brainerd) and we work with businesses in Hamilton County. Our digital marketing services include WordPress web design, search engine optimization, graphic design, website maintenance, and general digital consulting. We work well with small businesses to help create an affordable plan to get a website into your pocket. Our team also works with medium-sized companies, whether or not you have an internal marketing team.

"These guys are absolutely fantastic! Easy to work with, and very quick to respond. They built our new website from scratch, and we have their premium management service for it to keep it fresh and perform the SEO functions. I cannot say enough good things about this local family business! I would recommend them to anyone."

- Tim Ireland, Owner of Forrest Jordan and Associates

Website work done by our team

clients our team has worked with in the past

What to expect with the website building process

Our first step is to meet with you and explore your goals and budget for a website. Once we've established what you are looking for, we will create a custom proposal outlining the work to be done. This proposal is reviewed by you and signed.

The next step is the project. We will gather information from you about your message and how you run your business. Any photos, logos, and existing marketing materials that we can use as a reference will be collected. We will work with you on web copy (the written words that go on a website) to make sure it's crisp and clear for your customer.

We will then begin our development process. This is much like building a house, with the foundation poured, the framework set up, and electrical and plumbing framed into the home. Everything from button design, copywriting, contact forms, internal linking, mobile-first development, and footer design are all configured during this process.

You will have several opportunities to review the design and suggest changes. Once you are happy with the design, we will move forward to the launch!

Altogether, this web design process takes about 8 weeks to complete for most clients. (Some projects require a little more time for added size or complexity - contact us if you want more details on this.)

Why we love Chatt

Great hiking nearby - We love to go hiking. We've heard there are upwards of 50 trails within 30 minutes of Chattanooga. Some of our staff has explored a couple so far, including Rainbow Lake Trail on Signal Mountain.

Fun downtown/Riverwalk scene - Getting to walk Walnut Street Bridge and stopping for ice cream at Clumpies is one of our favorite ways to spend a summer afternoon. There is a farmers market that takes place most Saturdays downtown, near the Tennessee Aquarium. The architectural aesthetics and coffee at Rembrandt's are hard to beat.

Great internet - The internet in Chattanooga is great for running a web design agency. Both EPB and Xfinity offer high-speed packages

Driving distance from key cities - Chattanooga is 2 hours from Nashville, 2 hours from Knoxville, and 2 hours from Atlanta. This makes attending sporting events a blast and gives a great selection of airport choices.

Case Study: 800% Pageview Increase After Launching New Website

We publish data on how websites and search engine optimization have helped our clients. Our focus is on key performance indicators (KPIs) that are important to each case, with findings being published in a digestable format. One of our web design clients saw an 800% pageview increase after launching a new website.

About the Bluestem Media Team

Bluestem Media is a family-run web design agency. Our main "office" is based out of the panhandle beach town of Navarre, FL. Our lead SEO & Content Strategist lives and works in East Brainerd, Chattanooga, TN.

The business was founded in 2013 in the prairies of western Minnesota. In 2019, the business relocated to Navarre.

The majority of our work is done remotely, where we meet with our clients over Zoom or Microsoft Teams. We can also meet with clients in a local coffee shop (a favorite of ours is Rembrandt's Coffee House in Bluff View).

Examples of our work can be found on our Portfolio page. You can view testimonials on our Reviews page. Check out the data we've been publishing on our Case Studies page.
