Basic sites start around $2,500. Cost increases with added customization and functionality. We’ll work together to match your desired functionality with your desired budget.

The time it takes to produce a website depends on the size and complexity of your site and the quality of content that you have ready to go. A basic website typically takes around 4 weeks from beginning to end.

In general, there are 5 steps that we'll walk through together. Depending on your project requirements, some of the steps may be very quick while others will take some time on both of our parts to get everything nailed down properly. Below are the steps that we will be working through:

1. Strategy: I ask questions and gather information.
2. Sitemap: I create a high-level map of the pages needed on your website.
3. Prototype: I create a blueprint for a few key pages of your website.
4. Design and Development: I add colors and functionality to bring your website to life.
5. Delivery: I make sure all of the technical components function as they should. Then we go live on the web!

Note: For smaller projects we may not do a Sitemap and/or Prototype. This will be discussed ahead of time so that we are both on the same page throughout the process.

I host and maintain my clients' sites through my available care plans.

Don't have the time to make small changes on your site yourself? Choosing the appropriate care plan will have you covered there as well!

If you'd like help in marketing and getting found on Google I can help you with that too.

I love seeing my clients grow and I will be there with you every step of your journey!

Yes, you will need a domain name for your website if you don't currently have one. I can help you get one registered if needed. Please indicate this when contacting me.

You are free to host your site on any host you prefer, however, I recommend hosting through me as part of my care plan options for a streamlined process and to keep your website updated and secure.

You can think of your domain name as your address on the internet. Your domain name generally ends in .com (i.e. yourcompany.com) however there are many domain names to choose from. If you need help with finding a great domain name, please get in touch with me!

Web hosting is a required service that allows your website to be viewed by everyone on the Internet. Without a hosting service your website will not be visible to anyone. Web hosting is part of every one of my website care plans.

Definitely! Contact me so that we can discuss your unique requirements.

A Content Management System (CMS) - i.e. WordPress - is a tool that allows you to maintain most of the pages of your website yourself, without the need for any technical skills. A CMS allows you to edit and add pages, images, products, and blog entries to your website, depending on your site features. No additional software is required - all you need is a web browser and an internet connection.

Yes, I provide all my clients with training on updating their website if they choose to add content themselves.

Search Engine Optimization is all about "getting found on Google (and other search engines)". The higher up in the results you are the more traffic (and customers) you’re likely to have visit your website.

There are many aspects that go into achieving good SEO. One of the most important is the content on your website. Focusing on well-written, keyword rich and appropriate content is the key. Contact me if you are interested in discussing SEO services.

I do not write content personally, but I have relationships with others who specialize in writing professional, targeted content. Because no one knows your business as well as you do and communicating to your target audience is a critical aspect of your website, you will still need to be involved in making sure that we are delivering the right message to your potential customers.

I am not a graphics designer personally, but I have partnerships with people who are very good in that area. I can get you in touch with them if you are needing a logo designed.
