Your business is badass.
Your website should prove it.
Let’s build a website that feels like you — while doing the heavy lifting for you.
✓ Graphic Designer since 2006
✓ Squarespace Circle Member since 2017
✓ Making clients happy for ~20 years
Lemme guess…
You feel embarrassed to send people to your website because it doesn’t ‘represent’.
You spend hours messing with DIY or cheap templates that never feel “right.”
Technical stuff (SEO, mobile view, forms, integrations) has you in analysis paralysis.
You’re losing shitloads of time, focus, & sanity trying to make things work.
When you do decide to outsource, you feel burned by past designers who ghost or delivered something half-baked.

Kickoff
You do a little homework leading up to the project. We talk through the details, I ask lots of questions, and I get crystal on what “success” looks like for you.
Design
I create a basic home page first, and share it to see if I’m on the right track. Then I build the rest of the site, integrate your systems, and make it all behave.
Refine
We have a few days of unlimited revision requests where you can easily request tweaks on the final design drafts. I make changes as they’re submitted.
Launch
I prep, test & fix, then I walk you through making it live! Afterward, you get a training session to learn how to edit your site & I transfer ownership of it, to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For custom website projects: Shortly after booking your spot, I’ll invite you to our collaborative portal where we’ll manage the project together. There you’ll have access to a single form that will help me establish your style preferences and submit your basic information, a direct line to ask me questions before the project, and upload your images, files, logos, etc. Ideally you can set aside 1-2 weeks to take your time submitting your website content, but you can actually do it in a weekend if you just enjoy being on a deadline. 🤭
For Design Days: Basically none. All you have to do is invite me as a contributor to your Squarespace website. We’ll have a Prep call together before your service date so I’m clear on what you want me to do, then on your service date I get to work. That’s it!
-
These are a (free) vibe-check for both of us, and time for me to pick your brain & see if my skill set is a match for your goals & website needs. If we’re in alignment, I can give you a ballpark quote on the call and ask if you need some time to decide or ready to book a spot in my calendar.
If you’re ready to do go, I’ll send the paperwork within a day or so.
If you’re not ready or need some time to think about it, I’ll check-in later but you’re not obligated to do anything you’re not ready to do.
-
Yes, of course! I love Squarespace because it’s easy for clients to work on and because editing content in it is drastically more time-efficient than other platforms like Showit, Wix, WordPress, and Webflow (etc).
For custom sites, not only will you own the website when we launch it, but I’ll provide training & educational resources for you to use afterward so you’ll feel fully supported & empowered!
-
In 20 years of designing, this actually rarely happens to me as a designer. Call it a knack for reading between the lines or empathy, but what I’m particularly good at is creating designs that fit YOU.
Even if there’s something you don’t love, ––that’s what revisions are for!
During custom site builds, there’s dedicated time for refinement requests & a simple tool that makes requesting easy & unemotional.
During Design Days, I teach you how I edited what I did, and you have an optional training call included (if booked within your post-day support week) so you can make further edits yourself.
-
Yes, for website packages: a non-refundable initial payment of 33% (or 25% if you want 4 installments) gets you locked into my schedule & goes toward your overall investment. The remaining balance is split into equal payments with the last payment due when the website launches.
For Design Days, you pay in full for the time block you choose when you book the service.
-
Squarespace is the hosting platform for the design/content. It can also host your domain if you choose. If you already have a domain elsewhere, I can transfer or connect it to Squarespace for you. We’ll discuss the best option for you after you book, and I’ll make it as easy as possible!
-
I don’t charge any ongoing fees once your agreed-upon design package is paid in full, unless you want to be on an ongoing maintenance plan with me.
Squarespace charges a ongoing fee for their hosting plans, and for domains if purchased from them. Their fees are not covered in my design packages & you will be responsible for maintaining it in order to keep your website live.
I recommend using the Core package for hosting with Squarespace. See current pricing
Domains are usually around $20/year. Check domain availability
-
There aren’t any additional costs, unless:
You DON’T already have your website’s legal policies ready to go, in which case, legally you are required to have a Privacy Policy, and it’s recommended to also have Terms & Conditions and client agreements for each aspect of your business. Learn more about that here in #3 of that list.
You change Squarespace plans (upgrade) or add features to it, such as Member Areas, Squarespace Email Campaigns, Video hosting, etc.
Or if you add other third-party services (software) outside of Squarespace to connect to your website.
-
Nope! This is 1,000% a long-game strategy. Despite what you may have heard, ranking on Google or AI searches requires strategic & consistent effort over time.
I'm not an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert, but I have achieved page 1 rankings for specific keywords, which means I know the basics and will implement that for you as I build your website, which is just best practice.
If your goal is to be high-ranking on Google searches, I'd plan to hire an SEO expert or plan to use a reputable SEO tool in an ongoing capacity as these things take time to see results.
