asked for firms that bundle creative and web marketing services for small businesses. Rather than a single directory, it helps to clarify which buyer and outcome are wanted first. started this line of thinking — agencies that serve advertising firms behave differently from shops that sell fixed packages to local businesses. Defining the client profile makes vendor searches faster and proposals easier to compare.

Typical customer groups and their priorities: local brick-and-mortar (mobile-first sites, local search visibility, photos and menus), professional services (credibility, case studies, clear contact flows), e-commerce sellers (product pages, checkout, inventory), startups (brand and growth testing), and nonprofits (budget-conscious campaigns and donation funnels). ’s point that design and marketing are twin pillars is useful here: design builds trust; marketing brings measurable traffic and leads.

Packaging, deliverables and vendor vetting: offer clear, tiered packages (launch site, brand + launch, e-commerce, ongoing marketing retainer). Each proposal should list deliverables: discovery, sitemap, wireframes, comps, CMS setup, analytics, training, post-launch support, and asset ownership. Use these quick checks when evaluating vendors: portfolio with similar clients and measurable outcomes, named project process, references, staged milestones and refunds/exit terms, and access to source files/CMS on completion. Red flags include vague scopes, “guaranteed top rankings,” no contract, or requests for full payment up front.

A simple workflow example to expect:

  1. Discovery and brief
  2. Sitemap + wireframes approval
  3. Visual design + content
  4. Development, QA and launch
  5. Training + monthly reporting

Market demand remains solid as more local businesses move services and commerce online; specialization (local SEO, product photography, social ads) wins leads. Prep a one-page brief, request two relevant case studies and a milestone-based quote, and require IP transfer and a short maintenance agreement before the first payment. This builds on ’s usability point and the practical hiring cues others mentioned.

It depends. Are you looking for a small digital shop that helps advertising agencies or a business that caters small businesses?

My apologizes for not being clear, I'm referring to a business that would cater small businesses. For example, they would provide services as such:

• Graphic Design
• Website Design
• Photography
• Stationery Design
• Business Cards
• Logo Design
• Basic SEO services

I also was wonder:
• What customer groups would be targeted
• Other customer groups that might pursue
• Is the market growing for these types of services?
• How fast is this industry growing?

Hi
You may find some hidden gems searching through the message boards on DaniWeb. I also suggest you to go to www.mashable.com and go for their recommendation on top web design. I usually like going to that site for resources. From my own experience, I recommend using:
1. Weebly for fast doi-it-yourself web design
2. Logomaker for affordable logos

For your other questions, you may want to do some quick n dirty market research using survey monkey and recruiting people via craigslist.

As concerned to the webdesign, don't forget to make sure your text is readable by using a standard font which is compatible with other systems.

While some fonts may look good on your computer other people might not have that font installed. It is good web design practice to use CSS when building you site. CSS or Cascading Style Sheets are a perfect way to set and adjust your websites font and size settings.

The great thing about using CSS is that you can change the look of your whole site simply by editing the one file.

Design and Marketing are the two pillars on which the success of a website or blog depends. Design gives you an identity that is a brand whereas Marketing gives you traffic and reputation. Both are equally essential.
