FAQs

• Will my website be mobile friendly?

  Yes! I build every site to be a responsive mobile website that will appeal to your audience and deliver an optimized browsing experience.

• I'm not tech-savvy, will someone help me manage my website?

  Of course! As-needed website management is an additional service I offer at our hourly rate.

• Can I use my own domain?

  You certainly can. A new domain is locked for 90 days. After that, it may take a few days to a few weeks for the transfer to be complete. In the meantime, I'll connect the domain to Squarespace so it can go live once it's finished. A little know fact, Squarespace is just like GoDaddy, in that it can host your domain and website on the same platform. You can buy your hosting services through Squarespace and get the first year of your domain for free.

• What do I need to provide in advance?

  Your business branding - logo, color palette, Pinterest mood board Professional photos and visuals - the difference between an okay website and a stunning website comes down to the quality of the photos. Branding photos are a great way to express your business. You can use professional stock photos. Website written content - No one knows your business better than you. I will give you a writing prompt guide to help you fully voice what you want to say on your site. I can help edit your responses as needed. Your domain - if you don't have one yet, I’ll be happy to advise and help you buy one.

• Do you work with other platforms other than Squarespace?

  At my company, I strongly prefer to use Squarespace or Wix as the main platform for building websites. I have found that it works best for most of our clients, especially those in the service-based industries, due to its ease of use and customization options. Additionally, Squarespace offers excellent blogging capabilities, making it a great fit for businesses that prioritize content marketing. However, if you have a pre-exisitng website on another platform or prefer using one of those other platforms, I'll explore those projects on a case-by-case basis.

• Do you offer installment plans?

  Absolutely! I offer two payment plan options. The first separates the cost of the project into three installments. The second separates the cost of the project into six installments. I understand that every project is different. If this doesn’t work for your business right now, we can discuss it on our initial call.

• Are there any additional costs?

  There can be additional fees depending on whether you already have a domain and website. To use Squarespace, you will need to have a monthly or yearly subscription. During our project, we will have an individual consultation to determine which subscription plan is best for your needs. You can also visit Squarespace's website to see their current pricing options. You will need to purchase a domain. You can buy your hosting services through Squarespace and get the first year of your domain for free. You can also buy your domain from a different provider and connect or transfer it to Squarespace. If this is the case, we can help with the transfer. If you would like to add extra integrations to your website, such as appointment booking or email marketing, there may be additional costs for the corresponding software. It's important to note that you will need a terms and conditions and privacy policy document. You can generate these for free on various websites, purchase an industry-specific document, or hire a lawyer.

• How long will it take before I can launch my website?

  Every project is different and the timeline depends on the customer’s needs. Our standard website package is designed to take four weeks and includes collaborative concept development and custom website design. If you need additional features like a brand design, e-commerce shop, or blog design, we can discuss and extend the project accordingly. During our initial meeting, I'll determine the project timeline and set your launch date. Before the official project start date, I always plan for our customers to spend 2-4 weeks preparing text and image content for the website. I will provide writing prompt worksheets and assist with image selections. If preparing your own content is intimidating, I can prepare the content collaboratively for an additional cost.
