- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is designed to be fast, transparent, and stress-free so you can get a professional website up and running quickly—usually in just one week.Here’s how we typically work together:Free initial consultation (via message, call, or email) We discuss your business, goals, target customers, any existing branding or content, and what features you need (e.g., contact form, services page, booking calendar, etc.). No obligation—just a quick chat to understand your vision. Free custom demo Within a day or two, I build and share a live preview of your website tailored to your brand and requirements. You get to see the design, layout, colors, and functionality before anything is finalized or paid. Feedback & quick revisions You review the demo and let me know any changes. I make revisions promptly (usually same or next day) until you’re 100% happy with the look and feel. Content & final setup You provide or approve text, photos, and details (I can help source stock images or optimize what you have if needed). I add SEO basics, mobile optimization, contact forms, and any requested integrations. Launch Once approved, I publish the site live—often within 7 days from start (frequently faster). You get full access credentials, simple editing instructions (no coding required), and tips for ongoing management. Post-launch support I’m available for quick fixes, questions, or minor updates in the first few weeks at no extra charge. Optional ongoing maintenance or advanced SEO packages are available if you’d like continued help. Everything stays communication-focused and milestone-based so there are no surprises. Most clients are live and attracting customers within a week!Ready to get started? Message me with a bit about your business and I’ll set up a free consultation right away.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Before reaching out to a web designer or developer (including me!), taking a little time to think through these key questions will help you get clearer quotes, faster progress, and a site that truly fits your business. It saves everyone time and ensures the right match.Here are the most important questions small business owners should ask themselves first:What is the main goal of my website? Is it to generate leads (e.g., contact forms, bookings), showcase services/products, build credibility, sell online, provide information, or something else? Clear goals guide everything from design to features. Who is my target audience? Who do I want to attract (e.g., local homeowners for HVAC, nearby clients for salons, or broader customers)? This influences design, wording, colors, mobile focus, and SEO keywords. What is my budget range? Be realistic—affordable options start around $99–$500 for simple sites, while custom or complex ones go higher. Factor in ongoing costs like hosting (~$5–$20/month) or maintenance. Knowing your limit helps filter providers. How soon do I need the site live? If you need it fast (e.g., in 1–2 weeks for a launch or season), prioritize providers who specialize in quick turnarounds rather than long agency timelines. What content do I already have (or need help with)? Do I have a logo, photos, text/services list, testimonials? The more ready you are, the faster and cheaper the project. If not, ask if the designer offers content help or stock image sourcing. How involved do I want to be? Do I prefer hands-off (designer handles most decisions) or collaborative (frequent input/revisions)? Also, how much control do I want long-term—easy self-editing, or full ownership? What must-have features do I need? Examples: contact form, Google Maps, booking calendar, photo gallery, blog, mobile optimization, basic SEO, or future e-commerce. List priorities to avoid scope creep. Do I have any branding guidelines or inspiration? Colors, fonts, style preferences (modern/clean, bold/colorful, professional/minimal), or example sites you like? This helps designers align with your vision quickly. What’s my current online presence? Do I have a domain, old site, Google Business Profile, social media? Migrating or integrating these can affect the project. What results am I hoping for after launch? More calls/emails, higher Google rankings for local searches, easier customer trust? Thinking about success metrics helps evaluate proposals. Answering these ahead of time makes your consultation super productive—you’ll get accurate quotes, see relevant demos, and avoid surprises. Many great providers (myself included!) offer free consultations or demos to discuss exactly these points.If you're ready, **************************************************************—I can create a tailored free demo and quote in no time.
