WordPress website builds, migrations, and renovations for independent businesses

The social media landscape has gotten weird. And you don’t own that piece of online real estate. A website that’s all yours means you’re not chasing ever-changing algorithms. Your prospective customers have a reliable place to find you.  A great site is like having your very own sales rep, available anytime.

Get your website some new online digs. You 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.

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.

Website + marketing + 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 don’t do back-end work like Javascript and PHP, but I know my way around WordPress. I built the site you’re visiting right now.

I’m experienced with the Divi Builder, Elementor, and the WordPress Block Editor.

Here’s some of the other tech I can help you with:

    • ConvertKit, Mailchimp, Mailerlite
    • Teachable
    • Airtable

And a bunch of other tools that help independent business owners. I can also provide training so you can take care of your own site updates.

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 start at $3,000
    • Website migrations start at $1,500
    • Website refreshes start at $575

How we work together

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 and a few details about your project or book a virtual 20-minute coffee chat to see how we can work together.
