6X6 Design is one of the best choices I have ever made. When we needed help rebuilding our website( It was a disaster from the first web designer) we contacted John. He was knowledgeable and understanding with us. We explained that we knew very little about websites design and maintenance. He was honest and reasonable with what we wanted and what we needed. He saved us time, and money and gave us the tools to edit our website so we could do it ourselves! When we have trouble with an edit, John is very quick with his response and with a solution to fix the problem. You will be very satisfied signing on with 6X6 Design! More...

John anticipated all my questions before I could ask and answered them thoroughly. I found his pricing reasonable, and his services expedient. He was extremely patient with my hectic schedule and inability to talk in techy terms on his level. I am a writer who needed a website for blogging...and frequent editing. It did not seem to bother John at all. Thank you, John, for your flexibility and video coaching!! More...

Our website was first created in 2004 with no structural updates since. It was time to update our website and we had no idea on how it should be structured. John took the time to take the content form our original website and presented it in a more modern way. We had 2 reviews for sharing ideas and the final product was launched within 30 days from the start of the project. John was very flexible and worked well with the team. We have since received rave reviews on the quality of our new website. More...

What I like most about John are his quick responses to my questions and requests and his patience. When I need something , he gets right on it. And no matter how many times I ask him the same question, need something explained, or ask him to re-work an aspect of our website, he patiently works with me until I have what I need. More...

After searching for a firm to build a website for us, it became frustratingly apparent that no one was willing to provide a firm price to complete the task until AFTER they were finished building it. Apparently, this is how most web design firms operate, but not John Kelly of 6x6 Design. John immediately provided us with a firm build price, along with a detailed listing of everything included with his service.John built us a powerful and attractive website through Shopify and we couldn’t be happier!I highly recommend John’s services to anyone searching for an honest and competent website designer/developer.Joe MarconiMargarita Dreamin More...

John designed a Word Press website for me that I can update on my own, which is a huge asset to me as an artist because I am forever wanting to make changes. To help me remember key points about maintaining the site, he created instructional videos that make adding or changing pages easier. Â He has answered questions and helped me out of jams when I messed up the site trying to learn something new long after I made the final payment and the website was up and running. He's easy to talk to and highly knowledgeable, a pleasure to work with. More...

I am so thankful that I was referred to John for my Website design and development. I really was not knowledgeable and he is so great and patient in explaining how it all works. From set up to social media, to optimization, John has been so helpful and great in explaining the back end of the website and how Google sees your website. He has taught me how to do many things on my own by sending videos that walk me thru the process. He is truly a great asset to any business! More...

I contacted John to help my blog with some SEO. He gave me many tips that I just wouldn't have picked up on my own. Within 2 months, I was showing up on the first page of google searches and have for sure seen a traffic increase since working with John. He was super easy to work with, responded to e-mails in a timely manner, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for website help! More...

I recently contracted John to build a new website for my small business. The process was simple (from my end, anyway). John's design not only takes into consideration the content and appearance, he is also constantly building the site to improve my company's visibility. He is the easiest technical person I have ever worked with! I have learned so much about websites, and I'm very proud of my new site . As a start-up business, it was well worth the investment!

I am a contractor in Rochester NY and I need to keep my guys busy. That means I need leads. My experience with John has been fantastic. .....He created my websites to be google friendly and I'm really excited about his new social media program he has put in place which will help me generate more leads! What I like about John is that he is honest and he doesn't nickel and dime you, like if you have website revisions that you want made every once in a while to freshen up your look. I absolutely recommend 6x6 Design! More...

What makes a great website?
A great website isn't just beautiful. A great website is one that does the job it is intended to do - make customers. It also has to be found in a search, has easy navigation that makes sense, and has options including call-to-action elements to give visitors what they want within milliseconds of landing on your home page.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Who is your target audience?
What words would you use if you had to search for what it is you do or sell?
Do you have a list of websites you like and why?
Do you want a website that is easy to maintain, and with the ability to update content on your own as needed?
What do you love most about your job?
I love the sheer joy of delivering a website to my clients and hearing their satisfaction of a job well done. Above that, I love their referrals!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I'm a self-starter. I'm a motivated perfectionist with a developing and marketing brain. I love the behind-the-scenes work!
Why should our clients choose you?
Experience. I'm of a certain age (okay, in my early fifties), and understand people and their needs much more than my younger competitors. Customer service is a skill, and time and practice make perfect. I believe and expect top-notch service and communication no matter what.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
Search marketing consists of on-page and off-page website optimization techniques known as Search Engine Optimization, or SEO to draw visitors to your website. When a visitor reaches your website, statistics are gathered to monitor virtually everything about their visit, and most importantly, whether or not they reached your ultimate goal. And yes, viral marketing (word of mouth online via Social Media and offline) is search marketing too. A more commonly known label thrown around these days to describe the age of viral marketing is Social Media. Your website can receive large amounts of quality traffic by being socially active in networks (such as blogs, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, forums or chat rooms) and building trust and reputation aimed toward your business — all at little to no cost! Is your business being found by the top 90% of consumers? Do you have someone designated to monitor your current website statistics and making needed changes? If you cannot answer yes to either of these two questions, it’s definitely time to make Search Engine Marketing (SEM) a major part of your marketing efforts.
Website Design & Development
We provide both website design AND website development. What's the difference you ask? Web designers make websites look pretty on the outside, but very often know little about the underlying foundation of code the theme sits upon. Web developers know how to create the code to make a website functional, customizable, and most importantly, search engine-friendly.
We design and develop custom websites with modular design that’s fully upgradeable and forward compatible to changes on the Web. This development technique allows us to develop your website with less labor and therefore keeping your overall cost very low. If you’ve shopped around, you’ll see we are very competitive!
E-Commerce & Content Management Systems with WordPress and Shopify
Imagine having a website that you can simply log into without any knowledge of building or editing websites and enabling you to click on a page to change the content. How about adding a photo or video, or adding a new store product? Or maybe just switching the font or color? It is certainly possible, and actually nothing new to the website industry. Such a user-friendly website or e-commerce store is called a Content Management System, or CMS. WordPress and Shopify are the largest known website building platforms available, and used by a large majority of the most influential businesses (CNN, New York Times, etc.) and online store owners of all sizes. Both systems are by far the simplest user-friendly CMS available.
