Initial Discovery
The discovery session is one of the most important parts of the web design process. It allows me to learn about you, your business, your target market, services and/or products, your goals, current branding, and website feature needs, and your budget. Based on this information, I'll be able to create a website design package proposal that fits your needs, and budget.
Onboarding
You'll receive a customized proposal and quote with payment plan options in your inbox, and set up another meeting to go over over the proposal and answer your questions. Once your initial down payment is received, I'll set you up with a client portal to upload images, content, and track your project's progress.
Content Strategy
A solid content strategy allows your site's visitors to find the information they need quickly and easily. We'll meet and talk about what content will go on the homepage and other pages, and how the website will be structured. Then we'll gather all the content, images, and photography for use on the site.
Design
I'll design your website's wireframes, mockups, and responsive prototypes showing how your site will look on every device (large screen, desktop, tablet, and mobile). If revisions are needed, those will be completed, and we'll iterate this process until you're completely satisfied with the design.
Website Development
During this stage, I'll set up the website platform and hosting for your website and custom code the approved designs. I'll also set up a staging website so you can see how your website is coming along as it's being built.
Testing & Final Review
Your website is ready for launch! However, a website isn't complete without proper testing, proofreading, and a final review. At this stage, I'll let you know the website is ready for review and testing, and we'll schedule a review meeting to go over the completed site and next steps for launch
Launch!
Now that your website is complete, I'll update your domain name's DNS to point to your new website to launch your site. You're new website is now live!
Platform Training
During your training session, we'll walk through of the system and I'll show you how to add, update, and remove content and images. This is your time, so please feel free to ask as many questions as you need so you feel comfortable with the system.
Continued Support
As a valued client, you will always have my support when you need it. Please feel free to reach out to me via text, email, or phone if you have questions or need help with your website.
How long will it take to complete my website?
Basic websites can be completed in as little as 1-2 weeks or as long as several months for more complex designs or website functionality. Many factors go into timing a website design project including:
- The complexity of the website and design
- The number of custom designed pages
- Branding and brand Identity needs
- Third-party integrations
- eCommerce functionality
- Custom application development needs
- Content needs
- Branding needs
What will I need to provide you?
A few moments of your time.
We will be meeting a few times to talk about your website project and to review completed work. Total time involved is based on the complexity of your project, whether you are
Any existing website content, images, and photography.
We'll talk about any new website content and photography needed during your free consultation and/or content strategy session.
Access to your Domain Name's DNS Records
When your site is ready to launch, a few changes to your domain name's DNS will be made so that people will see your new design when they visit your website.
Will you review my existing website before we begin?
Absolutely! Once I receive your request for your free discovery meeting in my inbox, my gears start turning. I will check to see if you have a website, and perform a brief review of your website's design, platform, SEO, page speed, and current marketing efforts so I can determine where your website stands currently and generate ideas for making it better.
Can you design a logo and/or other brand assets?
Yes! You will need a logo for your website, so if you don't have one, then we can discuss adding
branding and identity design to your package.
What platforms do you develop on?
Various website platforms are available to meet specific goals and needs. During your free consultation, we'll talk about your project, and choose a platform that's best for your needs and comfort level. Whatever platform you select, I will help to ensure your website will be able to scale as you grow, is easy to manage, and contains all the features you need to market and/or run your business.
Can you design a simple landing page or one-page website?
Yes! The packages above can certainly be customized to add or remove features. Please schedule your free consultation so we can discuss your landing page needs. The cost starts at $750 and is based on the complexity of the design.
What tools do you use to design websites?
For website design, I use Adobe XD and/or Figma to create low and high-fidelity designs.
For custom graphics and logos, I use an old-fashioned pencil, Adobe Illustrator for digitizing and editing.
For photography, I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to edit and optimize photos.
I use Bloom for the client portal that allows for project management, billing, and contract and document storage.
For planning and collaboration on branding and content strategy workshops, and research, I use Milanote (a Notion alternative).
Finally, I use zoom, email, text message, and phone so we can stay in touch throughout your project.
Can meetings be scheduled outside business hours?
Of course! You have a business to run, so I try to be flexible with my client's work schedules. I am more than willing to schedule meetings during off hours and Saturdays.
What payment methods do you accept?
Accepted payment methods include check and ACH Bank transfer, and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).
Do you offer website hosting and maintenance plans?
I will setup and develop your website it on the platform of your choice. Because most website platforms include affordable website hosting and security, there is no longer a need for web developers to provide hosting, except in very rare complex situations.
Most website platforms the cost is anywhere from $15 to $40 per month. eCommerce website hosting starting at $40 per month. Many platforms have discounts for yearly plans. More advanced features require higher plans with extra costs.
When your completed website is ready to launch, I'll transfer your website to your platform account. If needed, you can add me as a collaborator to work on your website so that if you need me, I'll be there to help.
Do you design HIPAA compliant websites?
Yes, if you are a Covered Entity under HIPAA and BC Interactive Media will be considered a Business Associate as defined by
45 CFR 160.103 of the Code of Federal Regulations in order to perform the services required by your project.
HIPPA compliant websites that collect ePHI require special technical considerations, which may require more advanced development and website hosting solutions and may not fit within the packages above. My philosophy is less is more when building these websites. I will guide you through what will be required during your initial consultation, and help you every step of the way.
