Testimonials
Track down your website, domain, email marketing, shop, and social + any other system logins you use for your site.
Primary, secondary, and any other logos you have for your business, plus a style guide if you have one. I offer this as a service if needed.
Photos are a MUST. Work with a photographer 1st for high-quality images that illustrate all you do and showcase your brand. Videos are a BONUS.
Ideally 3-5 great testimonials to serve as social proof. Have client logos, pictures, or video to include? Even better!
FAQs

Invoices are emailed, and payments can be made online.
Yes, I understand this is an investment, and stress-free automated payment plans are available. I'm also happy to work something out individually that works best for you and your budget.
Yes. Prices do NOT include annual domain and hosting fees. Those are separate and can be found on the platform websites here: Showit and Wix. I typically make a plan recommendation as we discuss your project. Wix typically includes a free domain for the first year so no need to purchase one elsewhere {plus you'll have everything in one spot}.
No, my rates are based on my experience, skillset, quality of work, and time. This is an investment in your business for those that are ready to grow, which is why I only work with clients who are ready, committed, and all in.
No, unfortunately I can't. All the required materials are elements needed in order for me to design the best possible website for you.
Since I only work with a handful of clients at a time, it varies. But to give you an idea, here are my estimated times for each package:
Logo & Brand: 2-3 wks
Web Design: 4+ wks
Both together: 6+ wks
I get that stuff happens {as a parent and adult in general, I can relate!}, and I’m willing to reschedule the best I can around my other clients. Keep in mind, they'll have priority for the time booked so I can stay on schedule. If you can, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance, and we'll go from there. If it's a reoccurring issue, the timing may not be right for us and it won't be in my best interest to move forward.
I do! Clients have the choice of deciding whether or not they would like to manage their site once it’s live. Add-on training sessions are available, and if you don't have the time, I can take back the reins and bill you at my hourly rate or a monthly content subscription.
