About Palmetto Presence

Hi, I’m Jude.Your business, professionally online. Built one-on-one, right here in the Lowcountry.

I run Palmetto Presence myself in Charleston, SC. I work one-on-one with local businesses to build professional websites and set them up properly on Google, so customers can find them, call them, and choose them.

My background

Marketing know-how, applied locally.

I studied marketing and management, partly in London and partly at the College of Charleston. Learning in two very different cities gave me a broad view of how businesses earn attention, and a clear sense of how much Charleston runs on word of mouth and community.

I know this field well. Now I put that knowledge to work for the independent businesses that give this city its character.

Why I started Palmetto Presence

Good local businesses deserve to be found.

Charleston is full of great small businesses: the shop with loyal regulars, the contractor everyone recommends, the restaurant locals swear by. Many are still hard to find online, with no website, an outdated one, or a Google listing missing hours and photos.

Today, the first impression often happens online, before anyone calls or walks in. I started Palmetto Presence to help local businesses make that impression count, without the cost or complexity of a big agency.

How I work

Personal, local, and one point of contact.

From a free first conversation to a live, tested site, you’ll always know what happens next.

One point of contact

You work directly with me, from the first call to launch and beyond. No account managers, no hand-offs.

Local

I’m based in Charleston and focused on Lowcountry businesses and the customers they serve.

Plain language

No jargon. I explain what I’m doing and why, so you always know where things stand.

Clear plan first

A written plan and quote before any work begins, then previews along the way, refined with your feedback.

What I value

The standards I hold my work to.

Honesty

Prices in writing, no hidden fees, and no promises about rankings or revenue that no one can guarantee.

Craft

Sites that look professional, load quickly, and work well on phones, where many of your customers will find you.

Respect for your time

You have a business to run. I keep the process simple, and nothing goes live without your approval.

Ownership

Your domain is registered in your name, and once you’ve paid in full, the site is yours.
