The $10K/month Marketing Trap

A new client told me something this week that really stuck with me.
A large marketing agency sold them a “full package” — website, SEO, online marketing — for over $10,000 per month. No clear breakdown. No transparency. No explanation of what was actually included. They were so busy running their business that they trusted the agency to “just bring leads.”
Months passed. No leads.

But they kept paying… because the agency owned the website, so canceling meant losing their entire online presence.
This happens more often than people realize.

For small businesses, the smarter approach is simple:
✔️ Pay once for a website you own
✔️ Add SEO or marketing services as needed
✔️ Keep full control of your online presence
✔️ Spend based on your budget — not someone else’s retainer
✔️ Never get locked into a contract you can’t escape

Small, local, mom‑and‑pop businesses deserve transparency — not mystery fees and hostage websites.

If you want a beautiful, functional website that’s yours forever (no strings attached), We'd love to help.

Website Services Are Back — and Better Than Ever!

I’ll be honest — I was hesitant to start offering website services again. With all the talk about AI, I assumed small business owners would just figure out how to build their own sites.

But over the past month, I’ve spoken with hundreds of business owners — retail, beauty, construction, consultants, and everything in between — and most told me the same thing: they have no idea how to create a website themselves, and many simply don’t want to.

It made me realize something: there are plenty of things I could technically do myself, but I either don’t want to, don’t know how, or don’t have the time. Websites are no different.

So yes — there’s still a huge need for beautiful, functional web presence. The difference now is that with AI, I can build faster, write better content, create visuals, and set up workflows more efficiently. That means I can pass those benefits on to my clients by charging less while delivering even higher quality.

Hello beautiful people,
As many of you know, I’m the owner of a boutique web design agency, Alice Wonder Marketing. Over the past six years I was very busy with my work at Microsoft and only took on a handful of website projects.

This past month, I’ve shifted my focus back to my business — and it feels amazing to be building new websites again and taking on fresh projects.

I truly love creating websites for small businesses because the work is always personal. Every business owner has a vision for how they want their company to show up in the world and what impression they want to make. My team and I bring that vision to life, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see how excited clients get when their new site goes live.

If you — or someone you know — needs a new website or a redesign, I’d love to help. You can check out my portfolio here: https://alicewondermarketing.com/websites/
Feel free to reach out to schedule a quick call to discuss your needs.

Thanks for the support,
Anna

P.S. Love creating images with AI!

Novichek directory for Ukranian/Russian businesses in the state of Washington is now live. Take a look https://alicewondermarketing.com/portfolio/novichok/

We really enjoyed this project not only from business standpoint but also personally. This is a great resource for Ukranian and Russian speaking immigrants to our state. It was long in the making. Many people talked about creating a portal like this, but Kate Leonchenkova actually did it! Thank you very much. Irina Scott great job managing the project.

This is what Kate has to say about working with our web studio -

Absolutely a joy to work with Alice Wander team building my site from scratch! I had a very foggy idea about what I wanted and what it should look like. My site consists of two different and independent from each other functions. Yet, Alice's team managed to make it work and look good together. Very professional, creative, and quick to respond to developers and designers, that held and keep holding my hand in this uneasy process. I greatly appreciate their dedication and professionalism. Very much recommend Alice Wander for your website building needs of any format and capacity.
