What will you need from us to design our website?
When I get started, I will send an email with a list of the items I will need for your website. While each website is different, I typically need a logo, branding information (colors, tone, etc.) if available, copy, images, product information, graphics, social media links, etc.
How long will it take to design and launch our website?
This depends on your schedule, when you get items to me that are needed for your project, and how quickly you get back to me with questions. Typically, I try to have your website complete within one to two weeks, however, larger projects may take longer. I will confirm this time prior to the start of your project so that you have a good idea of when to expect your completed website.
Do you require a contract?
Yes. It is the wisest thing for both you and I. Our contract is simple as it lays out ownership of the website, who is responsible for what, and the different elements of your website, as well as payment information.
Who owns the website after you have launched it?
I have a simple stance on this, once the website is paid for, it is yours. Simple as that. I do not use proprietary software that ties you to me. I may use plug-ins that have an annual fee which I tie into your hosting and maintenance services, if you are hosting with me. If you wish to host your website elsewhere, I will include this in the contract or once we are aware that you want to host elsewhere.
Do I offer website hosting services?
Yes. I offer cost-effective website hosting, back-end maintenance, and security which is recommended to keep your website secure and functional, so it continues to work for you. Check it out

Yes. If you wish to make content changes to your website, I will build your website using an easy to use content management system. Even though it is easy to use, I will still train you. My goal is for you to feel confident about posting, adding, and editing your website.
I also offer website maintenance plans. If you are too busy to make changes, or prefer not to, I have customized plans based on your needs.
Do I build custom websites or purchase themes?
While I have used bought themes in the past, I prefer to custom build a theme specifically for your business and needs. Often these bought themes are code heavy and include things that you wouldn’t use on your website. Also, the look of the website could be the same as a competitor, which does not allow you to stand out. I now always design everything custom to fit your needs.
What platform do I build on?
Since most of my clients prefer to manage their website at a level that is comfortable for them, I tend to build on the WordPress platform. I am well versed in PHP, MySQL, Javascript, JQuery, etc. and can develop websites that go beyond just front-end development.
