Let's make
a beautiful, functional,
and affordable website.
This makes it possible for me to bring your good work to the world.
Here's how it works.
First we talk.
You'll tell me what you are thinking. I will offer questions for you to answer. These questions are designed to create a picture of what you want from a website, what you can afford, and what I will need to provide to make it attainable.
Next...
I will summarize what I have heard and provide you with a document that outlines the scope of work, the cost (more detail about fees below), and a proposed timeline. We will make an agreement.
Then the magic happens.
The design begins to take shape. We'll collaborate over sketches to create both the look and feel (colors, fonts and use of space) and functionality — how the site works to deliver your message and meet your goals. This is the exciting part — as ideas turn into pages.
And finally.
With the pages built, the various set ups in place, the features functional, links all active, and a host of other technical stuff taken care of (things you don’t have to worry about), your new site is launched. Congratulations!
Like making a great cup of coffee (Beethoven counted out the exact number of beans for each of his cups), making you an affordable website starts with thoughtful pre-planning to account for content and functionality. This upfront time ensures that there can be maximum concentration on creating the most effective design — and enjoying the process as well.
Pricing
Whether you are starting new or refreshing an existing site…
My websites are built on the WordPress platform and use Elementor along with a myriad of other plugins to create the pages and their required interactivity. All designs are crafted to work responsively. They will look as good on all sizes of screens, including smartphones.
The prices below are ballpark and aren’t absolute until I furnish a proposal based on the opportunity to meet and to evaluate what will be required.
“Business Card” Site
This is your digital business card with room to grow. Perfect if you just need to let people know what you do and how to find you. The site would consist of a homepage, secondary page template and a contact form. This starter package is structured to expand if you decide you need your site to do more for you in the future. $1500-$2000
Basic Website
In this format an artist, therapist, consultant, or teacher can introduce themselves, highlight their work, and invite connection. This package includes a homepage, navigation to multiple pages based on 1 or 2 page templates, plus email integration and social media links. $2000-$3000
Website with a Blog or Products
If you will be regularly adding content — articles, news, images — to your website, or if you have a few products to sell, you will need the "post" system set up. Added to the "Basic Website" the design of a blog or product-focused section, complete with search and archive templates, this package provides the structure required to deliver your ongoing content. Starting at $2500.

Please be in touch so we can schedule an hour to talk and explore the benefits of working together. Maybe we can grab a virtual coffee!
