SEO & Strategy Woven In


Designed to Impress and Convert


Web design Customized to Your Business's UNIQUE Goals

While the Charleston and Summerville markets have a lot of opportunity, they're also competitive and it can be difficult to stand out without a clear strategy.


When we work together, we'll take the time to understand what makes your business special, design a conversion-driven website that communicates clearly, and activate a local SEO strategy that helps the right people find you.


You simply stay focused on leading your business and we'll make sure you have an online strategy that supports it.

Supporting local businesses isn't a trend. it's who we are.

The founder of The Harper Edit, Megan McDowell-Cooper, started out as a small business owner, not a marketer.


She spent a decade building, growing, and marketing her own business in both Charleston and Summerville—learning first-hand what actually moves the needle in a competitive local market.


Everything she brings to her clients is shaped by both real-world experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to compete locally.


Small to mid-sized, locally owned businesses are more than storefronts. They’re part of the fabric of every community.
