What repeats?
What belongs here?
I designed a reusable process for turning local-market research into website content and WordPress work. The challenge was deciding what could stay consistent and what needed a fresh choice for each place.
- Research the market and search context
- Set service, city, keywords and brand inputs
- Develop copy, metadata and image briefs
- Compare revisions and work in WordPress
One market, a different character.
For the Naperville brief, Riverwalk references helped shape the local brand, copy and image direction. I wanted those details and the keywords to feel natural in a coherent page.
AI helped organize the supplied research, draft content and visual directions, and troubleshoot WordPress. I chose and refined the requirements, directed the voice and reader experience, and compared versions to protect useful work.
A pricing assumption I challenged
I challenged specific service prices because a future contractor would set them and the relationship had not begun. The revision removed the ranges but still assumed a local partnership that didn’t yet exist.
What the work produced.
Reusable content briefs, localized page copy, metadata, image briefs and real WordPress implementation.
The Naperville materials establish a market-specific brief, not a finished Naperville website. This is precommercial work; lead generation and revenue have not been tested.
