How It Works
1. Inquire
First things first. Complete my project inquiry form so I can get up to speed
about your goals, timeline, and budget. If it seems like we're a good fit,
we'll schedule a meeting to discuss the details of your project.
2. Book
I'll send you a custom proposal for your project. If you like the proposal, we'll get all of our ducks in a row.
We'll both sign on the dotted line, and you'll pay a 50% deposit to secure
your project.
3. Plan
Together we will decide on a goal launch date for your new website. I'll put
together a detailed schedule so you know when to expect progress from me
and when homework is due. You'll work on gathering content and completing the Website Planning Workbook.
4. Design
The fun begins! I'll create mockups of your new
website. We'll start with the home page and move on to the inner details
once it's perfected. During this time we'll schedule calls to discuss your
feedback, and you'll get the opportunity to make revisions.
5. Develop
Here's where your new website comes to life. I'll create a test site on my development server. I'll show you bits along the way so you can see how it functions. You'll have a chance to make final revisions at the end.
6. Launch
Before your site goes live, the final payment is due. We'll schedule a training session so you can learn how to use your new website. Then I'll transfer the site to your hosting account, and we'll toast to your new live website!
Who I Work With
Schools + Churches + Boutique Retailers + Photographers + Restaurants + Non-Profits + Small Businesses + Creative EntrepreneursQuestions? I've Got Answers.
The short answer: It depends.
The long answer: The cost of a website depends on the number
of pages and the complexity of the features you're looking for. My website
package starts at $5,000.
The short answer: It depends.
The long answer: A typical site takes about 12 weeks. However,
the timeline depends on a number of factors, including: the scope of the
project, how prepared you are, and how responsive you are during each stage.
I'll provide a timeline at the start of the project so you'll know exactly
when you can expect things to be done.
The short answer: My payment plan is simple. I ask for one third to reserve your project, one third
at project kickoff, and the remaining third when your new site goes live.
The long answer: There isn't one.
The short answer: Not usually.
The long answer: I have clients all across North America,
and I'm used to working remotely. We'll have check-ins over the phone or
on Zoom when necessary. The rest of our communication will happen through
e-mail or a project management system.
The short answer: No.
The long answer: No, but I can make suggestions. My website
is happily hosted with Siteground.com. They're affordable and have great customer
service. If you need, I can also help you get everything set up.
The short answer: It's the best.
The long answer: WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that makes updating the content of your website
a breeze. I believe the best websites are the ones that receive regular attention, and that doesn’t happen if you have to call
your designer for every tiny change. WordPress is also very adaptable. Whether you need a blog, website, or e-commerce
site, I can make it happen with WordPress.
The short answer: Sometimes.
The long answer: I'm a big fan of WordPress for its vast
functionality (for me, as a developer) and ease-of-use (for you, as the site
administrator). I find other platforms to be too restricting for the type
of websites I typically build. That said, I will occasionally develop for Shopify for e-commerce sites.
