We’ll walk through everything that’s needed to get your website started.

  • Complete a comprehensive questionnaire to get clear on your business, mission, goals, and ideal client.

  • Fill out the complete content guide that I will email to you so that we have a way to communicate with your customers about who you are and what you do.

3 | I TAKE IT FROM HERE & RESEARCH FOR YOU

I walk through the content & questionnaire you completed and then spend time researching your industry, competitors and ideal client to ensure that my design meets your needs, and helps you stand out from competitors. This will help to establish the unique foundation of your website.

4 | WEBSITE BRANDING

I will start capturing the essence of your website‘s design with colors, typography, and the research pulled together from both your competitors and initial design questionnaire.

First Deliverable: You’ll get a custom mood board & font selection that showcases the feel for your website.

5 | PHOTOGRAPHY SELECTION

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say! I use my experience to bring you images that fit the vision of your branding & business. These images are FREE unless you have a custom selection you would like to purchase. These images will make a huge impact on your future customers.

Second Deliverable: You will get a custom selection of 15 - 25 images to showcase your products or services.

6 | INITIAL WEB & MOBILE DESIGN

Once we have your content & branding ready to go, we will work together to take your vision and create a website design that not only speaks to you, but to your customers as well. This is a two-stage process where I will craft your initial website design & then meet with you to gather your feedback before fine-tuning the website to perfection.

Third Deliverable: You will review your beautiful new website with me and share any major changes or adjustments you would like to see!

HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS?

  • These two platforms are the best in the industry for making a website that not only works across all browsers and mobile devices, but has great tools to help you get found online.

    Squarespace is focused on simple & easy design for new or small businesses.

    Wordpress focuses on customization and is a high-end website platform for more established businesses.

  • Absolutely! I am here to support you. If you need additional help, please feel free to contact me, and I will assist you at my hourly rate.

  • Yes, there are additional costs not included in the package. To have either a Squarespace or Wordpress website, you'll have to invest in a monthly plan that you can find listed on their site (you can look at Squarespace’s pricing here, and Wordpress’s pricing here).

    You will also need a domain (if you don't already have one).

    Beyond that, any custom fonts will need to be purchased for commercial use and can cost anywhere from $10 - 30.

  • While website platforms like Squarespace are built to be user-friendly, there is quite a bit of technical knowledge required to build a site that works well and looks unique. I use current market knowledge, custom CSS, and other custom illustration to create a website that is completely branded to your business. I also take care of everything from set-up to launch, so that you can focus on growing your business!

  • Absolutely! I take a lot of pride in delivering a beautiful website to you on time, with all the bells and whistles. Once I have all of your website content materials (copy and account information for linked social media and e-Newsletters) I will be able to meet all deadlines specified.

  • Of course! For all projects, 50% is due to reserve your spot, and the final balance is due once your website has been delivered.

    If it’s easier for you, you can make a down payment of 50% to reserve your spot, 25% at project’s start, and 25% at end of project.
