About this service

Summary

Design-forward. Technically sound. Future-ready.
Tier 3 is built for teams and founders who need more than a website—this is a custom digital platform designed to grow with you. From scalable design systems to interaction-rich pages, this tier ideal for larger product sites, creative businesses, and brands ready to invest in long-term UX strategy.
Your site will be built in Framer using a fully component-based structure, with optional scroll animations, CMS flexibility, and a focus on clarity, performance, and accessibility from day one.
Whether you’re launching an e-commerce store, flagship brand experience, or scalable content hub, this tier gives you the infrastructure to do it right.
Additionally, your site will be SEO-friendly, accessible to all users (WCAG-compliant), and respectful of user privacy with GDPR basics built in—meaning it’s easy to find, easy to use, and built with integrity.
The optional Style, Brand, and Voice Guide is available here too—for founders and teams aligning not just around design, but around mission, message, and trust.
Best for: - Art shops and creative e-commerce - Multi-service brands and founder-led orgs - Designers or developers with advanced site needs - Flagship websites that set the tone for your entire brand - People who want scroll animation and semantic HTML
Price Transparency Because every Tier 3 project is fully custom—from structure and features to platform choice and business goals—pricing varies based on scope, complexity, and timeline.
This tier is best suited for clients with more advanced needs: multi-page builds, e-commerce or booking systems, custom CMS logic, or a full brand refresh alongside the website itself. I’ll work with you to scope the right solution and provide a clear, itemized quote before we begin.
To get started, reach out with a few details about your project and I’ll follow up with next steps.

FAQs

  • What content do I need to provide at the start?

    You’ll need basic copy (like your About page, services, product descriptions, etc.) and any images or brand assets you’d like included. I’ll send a content checklist to help you gather what you need. If you’re feeling stuck, the optional Style, Brand, and Voice Guide can help you shape your messaging.

  • How long will the project take?

    Most Tier 3 sites take 3–6 weeks depending on content readiness and complexity. I’ll give you a timeline during our strategy session.

  • What if I need additional help in the future?

    For custom sites, I offer hourly or retainer-based support if you’d like to extend beyond the initial support window.

  • GDPR and WCAG? I don’t see other web designers talking about those. Are they important?

    Absolutely. GDPR and WCAG aren’t extras—they’re foundational. GDPR ensures your site respects user privacy and data collection laws (especially if you’re working internationally), and WCAG accessibility standards help ensure your site works for everyone—including people using assistive technologies. Many web designers skip this because it’s not “visible.” I include it because it’s the right thing to do—and because it protects you, your business, and your users.

  • Why does this only include “GDPR basics”? Don’t I need full compliance?

    Full GDPR compliance depends on your tools and audience. This package includes the essentials: a cookie banner, privacy policy setup, and responsible tracking practices. If your business operates in the EU or uses advanced marketing tools, I’ll guide you through your options for enhanced privacy controls.
