I also do all the work myself, which means I would be the only point of contact for you instead of trying to reach out to multiple service providers.
Questions & Answers
Are your websites mobile-friendly?
Yes, all of my websites are fully responsive. This means they’re designed to look great and function seamlessly across devices—whether it’s a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Ensuring a positive user experience on any screen size is a top priority in my design process.
Why do you use WordPress for development?
WordPress offers a robust platform that’s both user-friendly and scalable, making it ideal for small businesses and entrepreneurs. It is the industry standard Content Management System (CMS) that powers over 40% of all websites on the Internet! With a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes, it allows for easy customization and functionality enhancement, so you can grow and adapt your site as your business evolves.
Which domain and hosting provider do you recommend?
When it comes to domain names and hosting, there are a lot of providers out there. For domain names, it really doesn’t make much of a difference where you purchase it, as it is not a service that requires maintenance or upkeep.
Hosting is a different story. I recommend SiteGround for its reliability, speed, and customer support. However, I’m happy to work with other trusted providers if you have a preference. Choosing a reliable hosting provider is crucial for your website’s performance and security, so it’s worth finding one that suits your needs. For more information on domain name and hosting you can read my article post on the topic.
Can I update the website myself once it’s live?
Absolutely! I design with a user-friendly drag-and-drop builder, making it easy for you to update content without technical expertise. For more advanced changes, I offer affordable maintenance services to keep your website fresh and running smoothly. I’m just a message away if you need help!
How much does a website typically cost?
Website development work depends on the size of the site and the functionality you need on it. Generally speaking, a basic website with “Home, About Us, Services, Contact Us” layout costs at around $600-$700. If you require additional functionality, that would be added on. For a more tailored estimate, I encourage you to try out the Cost Estimator tool on my website or reach out for a consultation.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes, I create e-commerce websites tailored to your business needs using platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand, I’ll help you choose the best solution to fit your goals and budget.
Can you create a Shopify website?
Yes, I can work with Shopify if that is your preferred platform. However, I highly recommend WordPress instead, as it is completely free of charge.
Where are you located, and do you work with clients outside of Vancouver?
I’m currently based in Ottawa but work with clients across Canada. Thanks to modern communication tools, I’m equipped to collaborate with you wherever you are, ensuring you receive responsive support and seamless service.
How long does a typical project take?
The timeline depends on the project’s scope. A standard website usually takes about a week, while more complex projects, like e-commerce sites, may take longer. I’ll provide a detailed timeline tailored to your project so you know exactly what to expect.
How and when do I pay you?
I ask my clients to make the full payment once the website design is finished. You do not have to pay anything until the work is done and you are satisfied with it.
Why should I choose you?
It is a fair question given the amount of incredibly talented designers out there. The clients I worked with so far would tell you that I am very responsive to requests and generally reply to messages within an hour.
Do you offer SEO services?
Yes, I include foundational SEO practices during development to help your website get discovered by search engines. For clients interested in ongoing SEO, I also offer extended optimization services to boost your online presence over time.
Do you provide content writing, or should I supply my own?
I’m happy to work with content you provide, but if you need assistance, I offer content writing services to help your brand message come through clearly and effectively on your website.
Can you handle other elements like logo design or stock images?
Absolutely! I provide a full range of services to ensure your website launch is seamless, including logo design, stock imagery selection, and content creation. I’m here to make the process simple and cohesive, from concept to launch.
