A new website from scratch typically takes a minimum of 1-2 months depending on your ability to participate and respond quickly. 

• Complexity: The amount of time required can vary depending on the complexity of your site, how far along in your setup process you already are, and if all requirements are met in a timely fashion.
• Content: This timeframe is inclusive of content creation/copywriting that may need to occur, in order to finalize the website.
• The Hourly: Typically, if you have already created your domain, and most of your content and imagery, it will take me about 10-15 hours to customize/build out all of your pages from a template.

I have experience working with clients in a range of industries, including healthcare, finance, technology, health & wellness, manufacturing, and retail, among others.

No, I am not a developer. This means that I will not create a hand-coded site from scratch.

However, for most small businesses that is of benefit because they want a website created on a platform that they can maintain themselves or with minimal assistance.

I will therefore typically work with you to select a template for your preferred platform, and customize it based on your design specifications.

(This also helps to reduce the number of hours required to get your site up and running)

My technical experience includes:

• CSS styling
• HTML
• Minimal JavaScript editing/implementation
• Integrating external automations like Newsletters, Zapier, Email Forwarding, etc.
• Domain/DNS setup/forwarding
• Email account creation and integration
• SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
• CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization)
• and more!

I have worked on numerous platforms, including: 

• GoDaddy
• WordPress
• Kajabi
• Wix
• SquareSpace
• SiteBuilder
• Mailchimp
• Proprietary Platforms

 Things You'll Need:

• Domain (your actual .com, or .org web address)
• Hosting company (GoDaddy, BlueHost, Wix, Kajabi, Squarespace, etc)
• Your logins/passwords
• Your brand assets (Things like Images, Videos, Staff bios/headshots, Logo files, etc.)
• Access to a desktop/laptop computer for Zoom screenshare capability
• Complete your 60 minute design consultation call
• And finally, your copywriting (otherwise known as your content)

This 60 min web design consultation is designed to help you clarify your vision for your site, so we can develop you a visually stunning and highly functional online presence.

We will cover the standard main sections of a business-site's framework such as:   

• Logo
• Imagery
• Call-to-Action Buttons 
• Mood/Theme
• Color Scheme
• Social Media
• Services
• Professional Associations
• Inspiration Sites
• And Goals for the New Design

Often you do not have your content ready to go, which is a necessary part of finalizing a website.

While copywriting is not included within the Web Design service, it is available separately under our Business Consulting and Coaching.

This is because content writing needs to walk the line between speaking to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and being appealing to a site visitor wanting to get to know your business.

This process can take time, revisions, and potentially a lot of homework.

Brand photography is a set of images that represent your business, and what you stand for, visually. These can include your products, your people, your space, and other things that make your business unique. Whatever you stand for, that’s what they can illustrate to your clientele. As such, they are an important part of your new website/online presence!

As a photographer with years of experience, I offer both consulting and  Brand Photography as separate add-on services. Together we can create a list of images you want to create, and/or if you are local, you can hire me to take your images/videos as well.

I challenge my clients to consider: What messages do you want to convey? How do you want to make your customers feel, when they look at your website, or social media accounts? 

Good quality, consistent, professional brand photography is going to help capture potential clients in a flash as they’ll see that you appreciate attention to detail, high quality content, consistency and great aesthetics.
