Website Design & Development
Whether you have an existing website or you’re starting from scratch, I’ll help you make your website dreams a reality - taking the stress out of website building and designing.
Have you ever been on someone’s website, only to find it takes 1000 years to load? Or the button you’re trying to click isn’t clicking? Or worse, you can’t find the information you were looking for? It’s no secret that consumers have high expectations when it comes to a website. But more importantly, we as business owners have high expectations for our own brand.
We have customers to respond to, sales to make and really want to make sure we’ve put our best foot forward. But we also have bills to pay, so ultimately, we want to make sure our website isn’t costing us more than it’s worth.
This is where I come in. As an experienced website designer and builder, I can:
Create a website that strikes the perfect balance between functionality and style.
Integrate and implement the features that you need to engage with your customers/audience (like an ecommerce shop, contact forms, page translate buttons, social feed images, Google review sliders and more).
Do it all for a once-off fee, plus train you on how to maintain and look after the basics for your website moving forward. Giving you the confidence you need to ensure your website won’t “break” in the future.
Plus, I am always here to support and help you. So if you ever need assistance with your website, I’m just a message or call away.
Ready to get started?
In our Intro Call, I’ll take a look at your website and depending on your goals, we can decide whether it’s possible to salvage what you have or if it’s better to start fresh with a new website. We’ll discuss your requirements including how many web pages you require, the functionality of your new website (ecommerce or service-based) and its purpose including how your visitors will use it. We'll also discuss the difference between various website builders, including Squarespace versus WordPress, or a single landing page versus a 5 page+ website.
So if you’re ready to create a website you can truly be proud of, enquire with me today.
Website FAQs
-
I build both service based websites (like this one) and e-commerce websites using Squarespace. I can also include integrations with other apps for your business like Calendly, Mailchimp/Email Marketing, Booking Systems, Contact Forms etc. I find that Squarespace is the perfect website building platform for my clients as it means they can easily edit things themselves after I build their site.
-
This is probably the most common question I get when it comes to building websites. The short answer is it can take anywhere between 2-12 weeks to build a website for you and have it live.
The longer answer is that this time frame depends on various factors including:
How many pages you require for your new website - is it a single landing page, or website with 15 pages? The more pages, the longer it will take.
The features and integrations for the new site
Your ongoing feedback and changes to the design
If a website is time sensitive, and you need it live ASAP, I can also build you a temporary landing page so your business doesn’t lose customers in the meantime (additional charges may apply for this). Regardless, I’ll be able to estimate your project timeframe upon assessing what you need.
-
Yes! However this depends on two factors: 1) what you would like to change and, 2) what your website is currently built with/on. Please book an Intro Call with me to discuss your website goals and I will be able to recommend the best course of action for you. This may mean making changes to your existing website, or building a new website from scratch.
-
A landing page is what I define as a simple, 1 page website, with no internal pages. Everything is listed on the one page. This can be a website to capture enquiries while your new full site is being built, or it can be a landing page for marketing/advertising purposes.
A full website (like the one you’re reading this FAQ on), includes various internal pages (more than 1).
-
Yes - I build ecommerce websites using Squarespace. There’s a lot involved with an ecomm site, so I recommend we have a chat to see if I can help!
-
Most of my website packages include 1 x year of hosting and 1 x domain registration. After your website is built, the website will be transferred over to you, and you will be billed directly by Squarespace. You will no longer need to pay me. As such, your website costs after the first year will generally be:
your website hosting (if with Squarespace, this is usually $300 AUD / year)
your domain registration costs. e.g. www.yourbusiness.com (this price varies, depending on the domain however is usually $27 AUD / per domain / year).
-
Yes! While ongoing management is not included in your project costs, if you would like to change anything on your website at a later date, I am more than happy to quote you for one-off website work.
I strongly believe in empowering my clients and not gatekeeping in any way when it comes to editing their site. That’s why as a part of my service I provide a guide on how to edit your site post handover (and a training session for key staff for my Micro Website packages and up.)
-
I build websites on a platform called Squarespace. There are lots of different website building platforms out there (like Wix, WordPress, Shopify and more) and each has their own pros and cons. I love Squarespace because it’s intuitive, integrates with other apps (like CRMs or email software) and it’s easier for my clients to edit their own site should they wish to.
