Website Design

I will set you up on the WordPress platform using the powerful Genesis framework.

There are a handful of plugins I love and use and I will install all of the ones I feel are best for your site.

Your website will be mobile-friendly and be shown beautifully on all mobile devices. Your site will adjust to the screen of the tablet that it is displayed on whether it’s big or small!

You'll be able to make simple updates yourself once the website is complete. This includes updating text or photos.

Creation of custom graphics for your website.

A custom-designed home page that makes your brand stand out and makes your website's content easy to navigate.

See my website portfolio for examples of this.

I will design up to 6 pages (ex: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Testimonials, Contact) with a focus on clean and clutter-free design.

When visiting your website, we want users to get a clear understanding of your message and give them an easy-to-use and seamless experience.

Your colors will all match your branding.

If you'd like some assistance in creating this, you can get more info about my branding + logo packages here.

I'll configure a contact form with your email address.

Your logo will be integrated into your website.

I'll configure social media icons that link users to your social media pages including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Yelp, etc.

I will optimize all of your content to make sure it's search engine friendly. This will help you get found more organically online by those who are looking for someone like you.

Includes research and planning, SEO copywriting, proper keyword usage, link building, photo optimization, page speed optimization, and mobile usability optimization.

If you're interested in working together, please check my waitlist first to see when I will be able to accomodate you and your design project. If the time frame works for you, feel free to use the form below to introduce yourself and ask me any questions you have!

If we both feel like we are a good fit for each other and you are ready to move forward, the next thing I'll need you to do is purchase your own domain name and hosting, if you haven't already.

Bluehost is my recommended domain and hosting provider (I am an affiliate for Bluehost and by clicking the link and signing up for a hosting package, I will receive a small commission.) If you choose to go with Bluehost, I also recommend that you purchase the site lock and site backup add-ons.

If you have questions on which options to choose or need some help choosing a domain name, please email me and I'll be happy to assist. You can also check out this post for a detailed walk-through tutorial.

The next step is to fill out my website design questionnaire. This will provide me with some things I'll need before I start working on your site, plus it will give me a better idea of what you are envisioning.

Bonus: If you are on Pinterest, you could also fill up a Pinterest board with some inspirational images, color palettes, styles, quotes, fonts, etc. – anything that gives me an idea of how you'd like your site to you look and feel. This is optional but it will help me out a lot! The more clear and concise you are up front about what you are looking for, the quicker the design process will be!

Once you've filled out the questionnaire, I will email you an invoice to take a 50% deposit via PayPal. This will secure your project in my schedule.

You may send me the content for your site via email or on add it to a shared folder on Google Drive, if you prefer. This content will include things like the copy (what you want written) for your website pages, any images you'd like to use, your logo, etc.

Tip: I love when things sent to me via email are consolidated into one or two emails. 🙂

The design process will begin on the start date assigned to your project, as long as you have provided me with most of the content for your site. After 3-7 business days you will receive a link to the demo version of your website to review.

At this point you will be able to request revisions and tweaks to your website, as long as they are within the scope of the project. Two rounds of revisions are included and can be requested in writing via email. One round = 1 email. 🙂

Please make yourself available during this time to respond to emails in a timely fashion so that we can keep things flowing. We are co-creating this masterpiece together and there are some things I can't move forward with until I hear from you.

Once all requirements are met and you feel completely happy with the way your site looks and functions, the remaining balance (including any additional fees for extra concepts, revisions, or add-on items) will be due.

After your final payment is received, your website will go live! 🙂
