We're just a day away from our jolly to London to promote our podcast web design package.⁠
⁠
The short(ish) pitch: we've been creating beautiful, pragmatic, flexible, effective websites for small businesses since 2016 - and now we've applied all that know-how, experience, and expertise to the business of podcasting.⁠
⁠
Our new package uses a highly specialised WordPress framework - designed in house by me and my team - for two podcasting objectives:⁠
⁠
🪩 Grow your audience with bangin' SEO, and our principle of First Best Listen - helping each website visitor land on the best episode for their interest, and on the podcasting app they already use.⁠
⁠
🪩 Monetise, directly and independently. Promote to your own sponsors, and make the most of whatever revenue channels make sense for your podcast, including: affiliate links, communities & courses, tipping, merch, private episodes, event tickets & collaborations.⁠
⁠
As always, all of our pricing is on our website: https://studiocotton.co.uk/podcast-web-design/
