You Run Your Business.
I'll Design Your Website.
While you’re busy running your business, I’ll design your website with a proven marketing strategy together with a great customer experience.*
*At least that’s what
my clients say 😉
Creating a great website
requires two things:
Time and Skill
Being a small business owner means you’re busy … VERY BUSY. Having time to do everything is a constant challenge. Having ample time to create a professional website?
Not going to happen!
You might have the skills and knowledge of how to create a simple website with Wix or Squarespace. But without the time, it will never happen. You have to have both the time AND the skills to create a successful website to grow your business.
So keep doing what you’re doing!
Run that small business like the professional you are.
It’s what you do best!
Let a professional who has both the time AND the skills create that awesome website for you.
You do what you do best … and I’ll do the same.

Common Web Design Questions
There are variables … and I love to create a custom quote based on your needs. But you can check out my pricing page to give you an idea of what a professional website will cost.
Depending on your needs, I can either build your site on WordPress using the Elementor plugin or on the Squarespace platform.

A lot of this depends on your timetable, how much you want to be involved, as well as my current workload. Some websites can take as little time as a few days to a few months. In our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your sense of urgency and establish a timetable to work with. You can read this blog article I wrote to learn more about how long it takes to create a website.
The short answer is yes.
If your site is built on Squarespace, it’s easy to make changes and updates to your website. There are a number of videos and tutorials on the Squarespace website to show you how.
If your site is built on WordPress, you can still make your own changes. It’s a little harder than Squarespace due to the complexity of your website. But it’s pretty intuitive to be able to make your own changes. I have a free online course you can take to learn how to make basic corrections and updates.
Some clients prefer to have me make their changes. They pay an hourly rate of $75 or they buy four (4) hours at a time at a discounted price of $250.
If your site is built on Squarespace, there is no maintenance. The maintenance is built into the platform and the annual fee.
If your site is built on WordPress, you have two (2) options:
- You can maintain the site yourself. You’ll need to update WordPress when available, update plugins (recommended weekly for security & safety) and maintain your own backups. You also have full responsibility of your website.
- You can have paid maintenance. I will update your site when a WordPress update is available, along with weekly plugin updates and monthly backups. All for $49/year. Daily backups are also available for an additional $25/year.
Your site will be designed & built in a way to take advantage of many SEO practices, including scaled images for example. I will also install free SEO plugins into WordPress for you to use. For a more comprehensive SEO strategy and program, I would recommend hiring a professional SEO developer. Recommendations available upon request.
Generally speaking – no.
I only create new websites with WordPress (using the Elementor page builder plugin) and Squarespace.
