“Working with Made to Thrive was the easiest, most seamless experience. My traffic since launch has increased by 115%, with organic search up by 208%. Users now go to the recipe page more than anything else because of how easy it is to navigate. I have recommended MTT to several food bloggers that are looking to update their site.”

Plus, the team is an absolute joy to work with, can make anything possible, and I just adore our new-and-approved website!”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I know if I’m ready for a custom website?
Templates can work well early on, but as your content library, traffic, and revenue grow, your website needs to do more. A custom site makes sense when you’re ready for something strategically built around your recipes, your readers, and the way your business monetizes and grows.
-
Do you have experience with the technical needs of established food blogs?
Absolutely! We regularly work with large recipe libraries, WPRM and Tasty Recipes, advanced recipe indexes and filtering, ad networks like Raptive and Mediavine, affiliate content, email integrations, content migrations, redirects, SEO structure, and performance optimization. These needs are considered throughout our Digital Foundation process and the website build.
-
What does your Strategic Website Partnership include?
Our partnership takes you through 3 distinct phases: Strategy & Design, Development & Launch, and Optimization & Support. We stay involved from initial planning through the months following launch, giving you one connected team throughout the entire process.
-
What kind of support do you provide after launch?
Your partnership includes several months of post-launch technical support, a comprehensive website audit, and strategic refinements. After the initial partnership ends, you’ll also have the option to continue working with our team for ongoing website care and support.
-
What is the investment?
Our Strategic Website Partnerships begin at $2,850/month for a set engagement period. Your exact investment based on design needs, functionality, and overall scope.
We also offer our standalone Digital Foundation strategy sessions. We’ll evaluate your current website and map the strategy, structure, and user experience for what comes next, giving you clarity and confidence before deciding whether to move into a full website partnership.
We’re happy to talk through both options on your discovery call and help determine which approach makes the most sense for you.
