Starting Gate Marketing

Starting Gate Marketing A Top 100 Worldwide Wix Design & SEO Agency Driven to Exceed Your Expectations. Creative Web Design

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing and over 25 years of experience in designing, executing, communicating, and analyzing sales and marketing programs for national entertainment retailers and outdoor advertising companies, Steve Crayne has the rare ability to combine his creative and analytical skills to create web designs that bring your brand to life and drive your business.

Steve Crayne’s first love affair began with movies, when his mom let him play hooky from school to watch The Lost Horizon when he was six years old. This passion led him to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from SUNY at Oswego. He moved to Los Angeles after college and negotiated a deal for the re-release of In Search of Paradise: The Nordhoff and Hall Story and wrote a foreword for the book and a theatrical outline for producer Bernard Schwartz, known for Coal Miner's Daughter. When the deal fell through, Steve’s passion led him to a long, successful career with a then start-up company, Blockbuster Entertainment. Said, Rich Ungaro, Executive VP, Domestic Retail for Blockbuster Entertainment, “Steve Crayne played a major role in our success of building a national retail brand because of his tenacity and dedication to getting the job done. He brings an unbridled passion for getting things done and is terrific influence on his co-workers with his positive "we can get this done" attitude. Steve is a pleasure to work with and I deeply appreciate his effort and contribution to our success." Steve’s love affair with Wix began in 2018, when to his chagrin, he discovered, after an accomplished career, that he was too old or expensive for the corporate world. He had done a few Wix sites for non-profits and wanting to feed his family, he applied for the Wix partner program. Flash forward to 2022, when Starting Gate Marketing was named a top 100 Wix agency partner. As a small boutique agency, Steve Crayne, and his lead designer, work one-on-one with all clients from all walks of life, from award winning entrepreneurs to small local businesses. Starting Gate Marketing has one single focus, earning 5-star reviews every single time by listening to clients and delivering the best value for our clients.

Wix Harmony is exciting, but here’s the real question:
Should you use Harmony… or Wix Studio?

Quick rule of thumb:
Use Harmony if you want speed + a clean, professional site without advanced customization.

Use Wix Studio if you need more complex layouts, deeper responsiveness control, or custom functionality.

Either way, the “make it work for the business” part still matters:
messaging + offer clarity
conversion path (what you want visitors to do)
SEO structure
tracking + analytics

Wix is putting Wix Harmony on the biggest stage next week, and it’s going to make a lot of people think:

“Cool… I can build my site with AI now.”

You can, but here’s the part the ad won’t cover:

AI can generate pages. It won’t automatically give you

✅ clear positioning + messaging

✅ a conversion path that drives leads

✅ SEO structure that ranks

✅ tracking + analytics you can trust

✅ a polished, credible brand experience

If you’re curious about Harmony (or wondering whether you should use Harmony vs Wix Studio), I put together a quick, practical guide:

Sometimes the best agency, is the one that shows you why you shouldn't do it.

If you’ve been dreaming about starting your own business but you’re scared to leave your job… you’re normal. 🙃

You don’t need a leap. You need a ramp.
Start slow. Build something real. Keep your stability while you build momentum.

We’ve helped people go from “no site, no clue” to real results:
➡️ An attorney hit $500,000+ in year one after launching a strong brand + website
➡️ A therapy practice saw +12% leads in 3 months after a redesign + SEO cleanup
➡️ A personal brand went from invisible online → nationally known entrepreneur

Your first step can be tiny. But it needs to be real.

Here’s the post if you need a push today:
