Your business shouldn’t just have an address online.It needs a growth strategy.

Positioning, growth roadmaps and lead-generating websites for owners who are done guessing. From a Pickerington business advisor who has spent nearly two decades helping Central Ohio entrepreneurs grow.

Tonya Kay, MS, PCMPrincipal & Digital Business Architect

A beautiful website without a plan is a quiet digital brochure.

Too many owners build their online presence backwards. They focus on the look before they define the strategy.

If you don’t know exactly who you serve, the niche you can own and why clients should choose you, your website won’t turn browsers into long-term clients. Caye starts with the business model, then builds a website that works as a real marketing and outreach vehicle.

The plan before the post.

Tonya has taught this four-part method to Central Ohio owners for years. It’s how every Caye engagement starts, because tactics only pay off when they’re pointed somewhere.

  1. Audience & brand

    Who you serve, what you stand for, and the niche you can own.

  2. Situation analysis

    Where you stand today: website, profiles, competitors and the path a customer takes.

  3. Goals

    Specific, measurable targets tied to how the business actually makes money.

  4. Strategy & tactics

    The messages, channels and web engine that reach those goals.

Then we check the plan against reality.

A note from Tonya

“Professionally, “Caye” represents a dream and vision declared. It’s that feeling of clarity and peace of mind you get when your business runs exactly the way it was designed.”

For nearly two decades, I have served as a credentialed business advisor, guiding thousands of entrepreneurs through the messy realities of growth. I know the exact pitfalls that cause small businesses to stall, and I know how to fix them. With a master’s degree in marketing and a background in interactive multimedia design, I bridge the gap between business strategy and digital execution.

Good questions, straight answers.

Something else on your mind? , or see every FAQ.

Do you just design websites, or do you help with overall marketing strategy?

A beautiful website is meaningless if it doesn’t align with how your business actually makes money. As a Digital Business Architect, strategy and design are fused in my practice. We don’t build houses without blueprints, and we don’t build websites without business architecture. Every project begins with your ideal audience, your niche and the psychology of how your clients decide, before a single pixel is touched.

I already have a website, but it isn’t converting. Can you fix it?

Yes. That’s exactly why the Caye Compass Strategy Audit exists. We run a deep-dive diagnostic on your current site to uncover positioning blind spots, navigation friction and marketing psychology gaps. You walk away with a 90-day roadmap detailing exactly what needs to change to turn cold visitors into dedicated clients.

How much does it cost to work with you?

The Compass Strategy Audit is a flat $950. The Core Positioning & Web Engine starts at $3,500. The Market Leader Suite is a custom retainer that includes the Web Engine and three months of fractional CMO leadership. Add-ons such as copywriting and local SEO are quoted during your consultation.

What is your payment structure?

Website projects begin with a 50% deposit to reserve calendar space. The balance is due when the project is complete, or 30 days after the deposit, whichever comes first. Sites launch once payment has cleared. Strategy work and retainers are paid up front.

Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?

Because each engagement reserves dedicated advisory time from day one, deposits, flat-fee strategy work and retainers are non-refundable. You can request a pause or cancellation in writing at any time. The full Refund & Cancellation Policy has the details.

Let’s keep our eye on the Caye.

No fluff, no vanity metrics, no tech jargon. Just an honest conversation about your goals, your audience and the plan that connects them.
