Your website acts as your 24-hour digital storefront — it's often the first impression potential customers get, and it can shape how they view your business. In today’s world, having a strong online presence is just as important as the quality of what you offer. Still, many small businesses go without a site simply because of the cost.
That’s where I come in. I offer an approachable alternative to traditional web design pricing, with flexible options depending on what you need. Whether you want me to build the foundation so you can take it from there, or you'd prefer to have me handle ongoing updates, I’ll work with you to keep your site looking sharp and running smoothly.
The Process
Paperwork
After our initial meeting (via phone, FaceTime, or in person), I’ll send over a few simple forms to get things rolling. From there, we’ll dive into what your website needs to achieve — whether it’s boosting appointments, showcasing who you are, or providing more info to your customers. The goal is to create a site that’s true to you and your business goals. Once everything’s squared away, a 50% deposit is due to kick off the project and bring your vision to life.
Meetings and Check-Ins
Once we’ve nailed down the goals and themes for your site, you can sit back and relax. Halfway through the build, I’ll reach out for a Mid-way Meeting to check in, address any requests or concerns, and make sure everything is shaping up just how you envisioned.
Final Meeting and Upkeep Options
Once the site is exactly how you want it, we’ll have our final meeting. At this point, the remaining 50% of the project cost is due, and I’ll transfer full ownership of the site to you. If you’re ready to take over from there, I’ll provide all the info you need to keep your site running smoothly. If you’d rather leave the upkeep to me, you can reach out whenever you want to make updates or changes, and I’ll be happy to help.
FAQs
How often will I get billed?
For a website build, I require a 50% deposit at signing, with the remaining balance due at the final meeting when ownership of the site is transferred to you. For upkeep, you’ll receive an invoice every Monday for work done that week, with payment due by the following Friday. Payment can be made via card through a secure online processor, cash, or check.
Can my website match the overall aesthetic of my business?
Absolutely! Whether your business has a rustic, rugged feel or a sleek, polished look, I’ll make sure your website reflects that perfectly. The goal is to create a seamless transition from your site to your physical space, so your customers feel right at home.
Can I hire you for a website build if it is for a personal blog?
Definitely! You don’t need to be a business owner to work with me. Whether you're starting a personal blog or just want a space to share your passions, I’ll help you create the perfect look and feel for your site, no matter what it’s about.
What if I already purchased a domain?
No problem! If you’ve already purchased a domain, I can help transfer it to Squarespace. In some cases, keeping your existing domain can make the transition even smoother for your customers, making sure they stay up-to-date with your business.
Do I have access to my site while it is under construction?
Yes, you’ll have access throughout the entire process. I’ll provide you with a unique password to view updates and progress as I build the site. This keeps the communication flowing and allows you to give feedback or request changes as we go. Think of it like having a new team member — we’ll stay in touch to make sure everything aligns with your vision.
What does it look like if you do my site upkeep for me?
I can handle everything from adding new products to updating your team page when there’s a new hire. You’ll simply reach out to me with any updates or changes you’d like, and I’ll take care of it at an hourly rate, with a weekly billing cycle.
As a Squarespace Circle member, I have access to exclusive benefits that can help reduce costs on hosting plans and other essential services. This allows me to provide you with high-quality website solutions while offering more cost-effective options, ensuring that your website meets both your needs and budget.
