Website Design & Development

Our website packages usually range 1000-12,000. However, it really depends on what kind of website you need. Your website will be unique; I will create a site that you will be proud of.

I work with all types of businesses – new, old, stores, shops and services. However, I’ve found I need to be confident that we are a good fit for each other. I am a good web designer; I can build just about any kind of website.

I am aware of my limitations; if you have a sneaker company and want to topple Nike, I am not going to be a good fit. If you have 50 employees and an international import/export company, I am not going to be a good fit. I can point you in the right direction. If your business is unethical, I’m not going to be a good fit.

However, if you have a small business that you have pride in your products, I can build you a great website. If you are a solo-entrepreneur already wearing too many hats, I can help. If you offer an honest service to our community, I can work with you.

You’ve seen the ads, “Complete Website for $195”. Sorry, no character and no humanity. My process to build your website takes a great deal of time planning and research. I analyze your competition, I investigate your industry. Then I build your site on a quality template that is uniquely adapted to your business.

Truth is, I am a solo operation. I am the CEO, Head of Marketing, Web Design Manager. I am also the secretary, valet, custodian and maitre’d.  My overhead is low but my quality is great!

Hard worker, cheap too.

No, actually, until recently all my sites were from New York. We communicate by email, Skype, scheduled calls and Zoom meetings. I live in Venice now and I do my wed design here in Venice.

I’ve completed small business websites in as little as 3 weeks. But typically, our standard timeline is 4-6 weeks but this depends on the project and the input of the client. Testing functionality and revisions also play a role on your timeline.

Your input is crucial. We are in constant email contact and we schedule calls and Skye or zoom meetings at your convenience. We are very transparent and share our progress constantly.

Yes, of course. I can come to you. And I invite you to my office. Technology is amazing and with our current situation, we can probably do just fine over Skype, messenger or zoom.

As much details about you, your business and your imagination that you can come up with. We’ll be able to discuss details during our call before we start working together. It really depends on what type of website you want. Here are a few ideas:

• Images of you and your team
• Images of your workplace
• Content for the website (text, brochures, PDFs, etc)
• Staff Profiles
• Any Videos you would like adding to the website

Some of this might already be on the existing website, in which case it can be transferred over to the new site. We’ll also need login details to your existing website.

Honestly, it’s very unlikely this would happen. Throughout your website development, we strive for complete satisfaction with you, review major features and use your input to create your website.

We split our payment into two. The first 50% when we sign the contract, the following 50% when we are ready to transfer your site.

You are responsible for website hosting and domain. This will ensure that you have full control of your website after we transfer the site. I have some suggestions of where to host and I can help brainstorm domain names.

Every page I create for your website includes basic on-page SEO. I perform keyword research and optimize your pages to be search engine friendly. Your site will be crawled by search engine spiders and you site will begin to climb the search results. Your competition, if they are smart, will be doing the same. You must add SEO to your daily tasks.

SEO costs can vary dramatically. It is a long-term process and requires constant input. I no longer offer SEO services. I create each page of your website in accordance to best SEO practices and I add “To-Do List” for your website including social media posts, blog post suggestions and more.

SSL provides trust. Most browsers will now warn a visitor if they visit a site without SSL. Google’s newest standards will actually penalize a website if it does not have a SSL certificate. Good news, the Siteground hosting company I recommend includes SSL in all of their packages.

Yes, of course. I can provide monthly service to do regular updates to your website that can include maintenance, up-dates and simple additions like photos and blog posts.

This is your website! I will hand over your site with simple instructions to add blog posts, add web pages and make updates without having to pay me to do it. You will have complete control of the backend of your new website to make simple updates, photograph changes, products, blog posts can be easily changed on your own. I do recommend you use a professional for more complex changes and website updates. If you need me to do, I’m familiar and available.

When we design your website, we will build in all of the features you want, in the style and aesthetic of your website and brand.

Additionally, you will need a third-party email marketing system like MailChimp, Eweber, or Constant-Contact. I can help you set up your email system. Including an email with your domain name in it.

As many as you like. Each package has a general number of pages and additional pages are priced per package. Keep in mind, Google loves large websites. I will create several sample layouts that you can use for each new page you want to add.
