Website builds & renovations
main 
Get a website that shows your business at its best. The social media landscape has gotten weird. You don’t own that piece of online real estate to begin with. When policies on a social platform change unexpectedly, you might find yourself in a bind. A website that’s all yours means you’re not stuck chasing ever-changing algorithms. Social media is an asset, but it’s not everything.
A well-designed website means prospective customers have a reliable place to find you. It’s like having your very own sales rep, available anytime.
Your main options include WordPress, Hostinger, Squarespace, and Wix. Prefer another site builder? We can talk about that, too.
Get your website new online digs. Want to move your website from a platform like Squarespace to gain some independence for your business but don’t have time to set up your new site? You’re in the right place.
Get a website refresh. When you’re busy doing business you might not have enough dedicated time to spiff up your website. Maybe you’ve pivoted your services, want to brighten up your branding, or take your online presence up a notch. We’ll have a good conversation about what you need, create a project plan, and make it happen.
Website design, communications, and business expertise
Finding the right person to take care of your website – someone smart, reliable, and who also understands your independent business challenges – can be tough.
I started building websites before WordPress existed (like, in the late 1990s). I built the site you’re visiting right now.
I’m experienced with the Divi Builder, Elementor, and the WordPress Block Editor.
Want to take care of your own site updates? I can provide video training and custom-created PDF guides so you can keep your website fresh and up to date.
Project pricing
Every project is priced according to the complexity of the site. Here are base prices, in Canadian dollars if you’re in Canada, USD for customers outside of Canada.
-
- New website builds (4-5 pages) start at $1500
- Website refreshes or renovations start at $375
We always begin with a good conversation about your ideal customer and your brand personality so your website shows your business at its best – and to make it easy for people to buy from you.
From the client files
Here are two examples of recent client work, one on WordPress, one on Hostinger. If you need your own site with an e-commerce solution, visit Liath Jewelry, a site I built for a business I own.
The project process
Once we agree to move forward, we’ll set up our project framework with a letter of agreement that lays out the project timeline, scope of work, milestones, and payment terms. A deposit reserves your time in my client calendar.
Communication is important to keep things moving forward, so we’ll stay in touch during regular business hours. If we’re in different time zones, we’ll sort that out.
If you’re on a tight budget, we can talk about ways to reduce project costs without sacrificing quality.
How to get started
Have questions? Send me a message (with your URL if you have a website already) and a few details about your project. I may have a few questions, then we can schedule a free, 20-minute chat to talk about your project and make sure we’re the right fit.
