Get Started

Our Mission

The mission of Webmaster For Hire is first and foremost to help businesses to succeed. The opportunities offered by the Internet today are vastly more significant than 20 years ago. When done right, the Internet provides businesses an endless, targeted reach and interactivity prospective customers.

Though we serve most all business types, our primary clients are typically in the service, hospitality, retail industries. We partner with our clients to plan and implement tailored strategies for their online needs and goals.

Webmaster For Hire has the experience and expertise to design and craft a well-branded and user-friendly website, to manage the behind-the-scenes maintenance and support of our clients’ websites, and to keep on top of the ever-changing nature of the Internet.

“My goal is to help others succeed through the powerful world of the Internet. I love working with small to mid-size business owners. They typically don’t have a full-time staff member who can build, maintain, support, and scale a website, as well as protect their site with fast restoration after an attack.

I built this business to save our clients time by offering guidance and solutions to meet their online needs.”

Beth Varian

Communication

Another aspect of our mission is to be an ever-present webmaster, making communication with our clients essential. You’d be surprised at how many clients have shared tales of the “disappearing web person or company.”  To that end, we provide:

    • Workflow documents that give the status and progress of project-specific tasks.
    • Monthly retainer clients are informed as work requests are received and when the tasks are completed.
    • WordPress support and maintenance clients receive notification whenever their websites have been updated, including plug-ins.

Without question, helping our clients to succeed and keeping them fully informed are top priorities for Webmaster For Hire.

Our Timeline

Webmaster For Hire is a company built on our desire to use our expertise to build, grow, and scale other people’s businesses. We did begin as a single person, owner Beth Varian, but then her clientele grew beyond one person’s ability to deliver quality services. That is when our team began to grow. Here is a closer look at our beginnings and growth.
