I enjoy working with artists and creative entrepreneurs, small-to-midsize businesses, women-led companies, and businesses owned or led by BiPOC. If you don’t see your business type listed, let’s chat, and see if we’re a good fit!

Yes. I have worked with other platforms in the past, but I fell in love with Squarespace, so it’s what I use myself, and what I recommend to my clients — with a few exceptions.

This special designation means that the designer has qualified to be a part of Squarespace’s ‘inner circle.’ As a member, I can offer clients who are new to Squarespace a 20% discount on their first payment. That’s a significant savings on a one-year plan, which in most cases can also include one year free on a new domain.

Squarespace already has lots of basic SEO features that are “built in” to the platform. To make sure your site takes full advantage of all that power, I’ll also do the following:

Optimize images so your site loads quickly

Add SEO-rich page descriptions based on our agreed-upon strategy.

Add descriptions to improve accessibility

Simplify your site navigation

Ensure that page content is keyword appropriate, adequate in length and that texts follow an appropriate hierarchy.

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about this!

If you have an existing domain (ex: FirstNameLastName.com) this just means that I can connect that to your new Squarespace website, no matter where it lives, or I can transfer it to Squarespace so everything is managed in one place.

For new sites, you can purchase a domain through the registry of your preference (Ex: GoDaddy), or you may be able to get your first year free with Squarespace should you want to explore that option (the cost per year is usually around $20-22). This option is extended to new Squarespace users on most domains.

The number of images is up to you, but I generally recommend that you have one or more images for your bio/about page, and between 12 and 20 images for each portfolio image gallery.

For e-commerce shops, you should have between 4 - 6 images for each product listing.

Images can make or break a website, so it makes sense to invest in the best possible quality images, since you are active in a visual-first industry. If you have the budget for a professional photographer, by all means make the investment, as it will pay off in spades.

Remember to gather images in a variety of formats (landscape, square and vertical, for example) so you can use them across all your media properties.

Yes, I do. Contact me to discuss the details, so I can provide a quote based on your project particulars.

Project fees are broken down into 2 payments. The first is a non-transferable retainer fee (50% of total) to reserve time on my schedule specifically for your project. That fee is applied to your overall project cost. The balance payment (50%) is due once your work is complete and files have been handed over to you.

The answer to this question, I am happy to say is no. The reason I don’t offer month-to-month retainer services is because Squarespace is an all-in-one solution, which means it doesn’t require technical maintenance. That’s all taken care of by Squarespace, behind the scenes, and it all happens automatically so you don’t have to deal with it. This is one of the reasons I love Squarespace.

Of course, I’m available on an hourly basis for additional work on your site, but with the walk-through training I provide with your site, you’ll be empowered to update your site on your own, if you choose to do so! And, you get 30-days of free email consultations following your site launch.

My availability varies throughout the year, but I typically book a few weeks in advance. This is to ensure you will have plenty of time to complete the questionnaires and gather the content for your project. Always feel free to inquire about my current availability.

I want you to feel empowered to make updates to your site whenever you need! With a custom video tutorial, you will walk away feeling confident about being able to make updates here and there, as you see fit.

The design process is a collaboration, so your input is essential to the success of your brand. I'll be in touch regularly and ask for regular feedback to ensure you are always happy with the end result. If your availability is limited, please let me know in advance, so I can take that into account when I schedule your work.

The blogging feature on your site is one of the most powerful tools you can use to improve your site rankings; as long as you publish new content regularly and consistently. It is a tool that you can use creatively, and not necessarily for traditional blogging. You can use your blog to publish content related to events and exhibitions, upcoming products in your shop, press-related content, behind-the-scenes images, video tutorials, and so much more! Search engines like dynamic sites that are updated regularly, so it helps to get creative with this!

No problem! Additional revisions are billed at my hourly rate - $175/hour.

Most communication will be done via email, but once the design is underway and we are working on revisions, we will communicate via MarkUp.io, which makes it easy to collaborate on visual projects. I’ll explain how to use it before we get started.

Once I have received your final payment, I’ll share your site’s branding/design files in JPG (white background), PNG (transparent background), and SVG files.

You will also receive a branding guide with your brand colors and fonts for future reference.
