All the basics you need for a simple brochure site and nothing you don’t.
My basic starter website design package delivers a beautiful, fully mobile-responsive website for a business looking for a simple but professional solution. In this package, I set up your website based on your goals and vision, you provide all the content and branding, and we talk about what you’ll need to know as a website owner going forward.
Your website will be professionally, thoughtfully built so you’ll have a solid start drawing in your ideal client. You can leave the confusing, tech-heavy side of building a website to a professional so you can focus your time on the things you love to do.
How It Works
This package usually comes to life the fastest but varies based on your collaboration speed/style. I recommend planning for 6-8 weeks for this package. I can usually get you on my schedule within a month or two of our initial meeting.
We’ll kick off with an onboarding meeting to discuss your website goals. If you haven’t chosen already, we’ll decide if we should build your site on Squarespace or WordPress. We’ll create an initial sketch of your site and choose a template to use.
You’ll provide images, copywriting, logo files, fonts and colors for the site. If you don’t have fonts/colors picked out, we can leave the ones from the template as placeholders. I’ll build out your home page and up to 4 more pages (plus an interior page template).
As we work together, I’ll share more information on managing your website, privacy policies, cookie policies, basic website accessibility, etc. I’ll launch the website, hand you the keys, and send you videos on how to manage your website, plus a website owner’s manual with all your website details in one place.
