How does it work?
Fuss-free website design for small businesses is my #1 goal, so my process has 4 simple steps.
Get in touch
If you would like to discuss a website for your small business, the first step is to get in touch. We’ll have a quick chat by email, phone or zoom to see if we’re a good match. The consultation is free and you’re under no obligation.
Let’s get you signed up
If you are ready to go ahead, I’ll send a proposal to outline all the details. You will sign the agreement online and pay the invoice for the deposit.
Time to get to work
Now the fun part begins. After you send me your copy and images, I’ll get to work on designing your website. If you need help with content, get in touch.
Launch day
We’ll set a date for launch and I’ll prepare everything ready to go live. Then it’s time to celebrate and share it with the world.
