Meet Marcus Anderson
Marcus Anderson is the founder of Ascend Web Design and has over 20 years of experience in web design. His work focuses on helping business owners understand what their website needs, what should be prioritised, and how to keep the site useful after launch.
That experience covers both the technical and business-facing sides of websites: how pages are structured, how hosting and maintenance affect day-to-day reliability, and how content and search engine optimisation can help customers find the right information.

That approach also applies to search engine optimisation. The focus is on clearer headings, stronger page copy, better metadata, internal links, image alt text and improvements that make the site easier to crawl.
How the work is handled
- Understanding the business before recommending a direction.
- Website design that fits the services and customers.

The service Ascend provides is amazing. Marcus has been great, and this is our 5th year in business with Ascend Web Design. I consider them a part of my own family business.
