Strategic and captivating web design!

Q: Getting started

Let’s chat. Send me an email , and if needed, we can set up a quick phone call or a virtual meeting so that I can learn more about your business, your needs, and what you do. Once we decide that we are a good fit, I will send over a contract for you to sign. A 30% deposit will be required to lock in and schedule the project.

Be proud to show off your business online. I combine designer aesthetics with strategy-based website layouts so that you can share your message with the world and watch your business grow.

Whether you require a new website or are ready to take your existing website to the next level, I will collaborate with you to make your vision a reality. Having a professionally designed website can help you stand out from the crowd and increase your sales and conversions.

I build websites using the WordPress platform and Elementor. At the end of each website project, I will give you a rundown on how your website is built so you can easily make changes and edits in the future. I only partner with a select number of clients each month to give them my full attention.

The Website Design Process

My process has been refined over the past ten years to ensure our time working together runs as smoothly as possible. Here is a general idea of how the process will go.

Getting started

Let’s chat. Send me an email, and if needed, we can set up a quick phone call or a virtual meeting so that I can learn more about your business, your needs, and what you do.

Once we decide that we are a good fit, I will send over a contract for you to sign. A 30% deposit will be required to lock in and schedule the project.

Discovery & Planning

I use a “content-first” approach to your website development. This means all the content included on the website will be created, collected, and organized by you before the development phase. I use this approach because the content naturally drives the design’s direction and changes are more manageable and less costly when performed before development.

Once all the content is provided, I will go through all the information and put together a strategic initial wireframe/sitemap. I will consider your target market, competition, brand values, and so much more.

Design Phase

I will start with the design and development of the three most complex web pages and submit them for review. Once the initial design is approved, I will continue developing the remainder of the website pages. There will be two sets of revisions included.

Launch & Handoff

Once everything has been reviewed, and I get the green light, the website will go live.

Within two weeks of launch, we can set up a Virtual meeting where I will walk you through your new website and show you how to add or change the content. I want you to feel confident using your new site and managing it independently.

Now it’s time to get excited about your brand new website!

Pricing & Packages

I typically book new website projects 1-3 months in advance. That means the best time to inquire is now, that way we can discuss your needs and secure your spot in my calendar.

Kind Words

Iva did such an incredible job on my photography website. She listened to my suggestions and gave me really great feedback on what works! She is very organized and gets the job done with such professionalism and integrity. I will always recommend her! Thank you Iva!

Iva helped me out with my website and did an amazing job. What I had originally was done well, to say the least, and after working with Iva it ended up looking and working fantastically. She helped with adding many features and designs that took my business and marketing to a whole new level! Since then I have worked with her to design other marketing materials and I plan to do many more in the future. The price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend working with her.

FAQs

Please message me if you have any questions that are not listed here.

How does the payment work?

After we chat and decide that we are a good match, you will need to pay a 30% non-refundable deposit to book your project and secure your spot. Upon project commencement, you will pay 35%, and then at the end of the project, you will need to pay the remaining 35% balance. Payments can be made by e-transfer, or payed online with a credit card.

Do you build websites on other CMS platforms?

While I can build websites using other CMS platforms, I choose to work in WordPress solely. After spending several years working within WordPress, I have become very familiar with it and know how to use it in and out allowing me to do my best work.

Where can I buy hosting, a domain, and SSL certificate?

There are a lot of hosting and domain options out there. I am more than happy to discuss the best option for you. I would recommend looking into Name Cheap, GoDaddy, Siteground for hosting and domain. An SSL Certificate is also essential and will make your website more secure and trustworthy. A secure website will have the lock icon to the left of the URL. To accept payments of any kind, a website must have an SSL Certificate. I would recommend buying all three from the same place to make setting up the website a breeze.

Can you make an e-commerce website?

Please contact me to discuss making a e-commerce website using WooCommerce.

Will you show me how to use my new site?

Of course! Once your site is completed we can schedule a video chat so I can show you how to make changes on your own.

What if I need professional help with web updates in the future?

You are always welcome to reach out for additional assistance.

Can you help make some updates to my existing site?

Unfortunately this is not a service I am offering at this time. But thanks for asking!
