Welcome to the

where brand image and business performance work together


Every Great brand begins with a story- How is yours being told?

We pair strategic web design with local search strategy so your business shows up where it matters, at the moment when customers are actively looking.


You don’t have to choose between a site that looks polished and one that performs.


We do both.

Customized to Your Business's UNIQUE Goals

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


When we work together, we take the time to understand what makes your business special, design a website that communicates that clearly, and build a local SEO strategy that helps the right people find you when they’re actively searching.


You stay focused on leading your business and we'll make sure your online presence supports it.

Does your online presence reflect the reputation you’ve worked to build?

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

Because 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.
