If you don't have the budget to invest $3000+ to hire someone to build you a fully customized website - this might be a better solution.
How does it work?
I've created 3 different website themes that are designed to help you GROW your business. They were built with marketing in mind, but without being smarmy and gross. This is smart marketing that showcases what makes your business unique.
Once we bring your brand and business voice to your chosen theme, you'll have a one of a kind website that can grow with you as your business grows.
Your website will be 100% YOU - it won't feel like a "template" or cookie cutter website. It will be a website that you'll feel proud and excited to share with the world.
THE TEMPLATES
These are the templates you'll choose from.
We'll choose the best template on our planning call. And keep in mind that the look and feel of these templates will change when we add in YOUR branding!
Option 1
Action driven, with hero images at the top of your pages, a special promotion section on the homepage, large color blocks, and a simple, image driven blog.
Option 2
More white space, softer, rounded edges, centered top logo, 3 column footer, traditional blog format.
Option 3
Large parallax images - they "move" as you scroll - great for a visual brand, contact button on the bottom of each page, blog in a grid format.
THE FINE PRINT - What's Included
-
Site Set Up
I will set up your hosting, plugins, and get your theme installed. The only thing you'll have to take care of is purchasing your domain name. -
Branding Customization Of Your Website
I'll configure your theme with all of YOUR branding elements - adding in your fonts, colors, your logo and a favicon. Your website will be unique to YOUR brand. -
5 Website Pages Built For You
I will customize the 5 main pages of your template. If you'd like me to build extra pages for you, they will be an additional $100 each. -
4 Months of Hosting + Maintenance
I'll host your website, do daily backups and keep all of your plugins and theme up to date for 4 months after your site launches. After that, you can choose to take over your own maintenance and billing or sign up for my site care package ($35/month) to have me keep doing it for you. -
Turnover Training
When your website it complete, we'll schedule a live training session to go over the back end of your website. I'll make sure you know how to add blog posts and make changes whenever you need to. -
Brand Clarity Workshop
Take the workshop for free! Get clarity about your purpose and vision, your brand message, and your dream client. You'll learn how to create a logo and choose the visual pieces of your brand. -
Email Address
Look like a pro! If you're going to be legit, you've got to stop using your gmail address for your business! I'll set up a profession email (like [email protected]) and show you how to access and use.
What's NOT Included
-
Your Domain Name
This is your web address - like lisawork.com. If you need help getting this purchased, I can walk you through.
-
Branding + Logo
You'll have access to my Brand Clarity Workshop to figure out things like your brand colors, your message, and your logo, all of which you'll supply when you book your build week.
If you don't have a logo, I will create a simple text based header based on the fonts you provide. OR, you can add on my Bright Brand package and have me do your branding for you.
-
Copywriting + Editing
You'll be asked to provide copy for all of the pages of your website. You'll also need to make sure it's proofread and ready to go.
Don't worry, I'll give you a list of everything you need so you won't be lost trying to figure it out on your own.
-
Image Acquisition
You'll be responsible for providing all of the images for your site. I'll give you a list of paid and free stock images websites and some guidelines for what I need, but you'll have to gather and send me the images you'd like me to use.
-
A Fully Customized Website
This service is designed to be an affordable, easy way for you to get your website online - fast. I'll be customizing one of my pre-made themes, but won't be building a custom website for you.
If your business needs many custom elements, please reach out for a chat to make sure that this service will work, or if your business needs my custom design services instead.
Questions you might have
Don't see the answer to your question below? Send me a note, let's chat about your project!
-
Will I be able to add pages down the road, make changes to my content, swap out images, etc.?
Absolutely! Your website will be built with an easy to use drag and drop page editor so making changes will be easy.
-
How soon will my website be ready after I sign up?
I'll need all of your content before I build your website - you'll get a complete list of everything I need after we have our initial planning meeting.
Once you get all of your materials together (this could take a few days or a few months, it's entirely up to you) - then you'll schedule your build week.
Your website will take one week to build, so as soon as you get your build week booked, you'll be ready to launch right away. -
Can you build my pages with dummy content and let me add it later?
Yes, I could do that, but...
I really recommend that you have your content ready before we start building. The reason is because your content will shape the design and change the overall flow of your pages.
I want to make sure that what you start with is a customized, unique website that is thought out and well designed. The best way for me to do that is to build your pages with the actual copy and images that you plan to use. (trust me on this *wink*) -
What if I already have a website, can you help me rebrand?
We might be able to do that with this program, but just in case - please set up a call with me so we can chat about your specific situation.
This service was created to help people just starting out with their business, who need an affordable website quickly. BUT, it could for sure work if you're wanting to switch gears and need something new for an existing business.
Contact me and we'll chat about it. -
What happens with my hosting after four months?
You'll get 4 months of website hosting and maintenance included with your website build. After 4 months, you basically have 4 options:
1. You can do nothing, your website will go offline and that will be that.
2. You can move your website to a hosting platform of your choice. Some will include free migrations, or I can do it for you for an additional fee.
3. You can take over the care and billing of your website, using the same hosting company I use - which will run you approx $15/month. You'll be responsible for keeping your site up to date and running smoothly on your own.
4. Or, you can have me continue to host and take care of the tech side of your website. My Website Care Package is $35/month and includes hosting, theme, plugin and wordpress updates, nightly backups and monthly wellness checks.
You don't need to decide what to do now, I'll be reaching out to check in and can answer any questions you have when your 4 months is close to expiring. -
What if I need an online store, a portfolio, e-courses or a membership site?
All possible. These are more advanced online tools, but you'll need to add them to you site yourself when you're ready for them. (or hire me to do it for you)
If you know that you need some of these more advanced features from the get go, it's probably better for us to chat about your project to see if these themes will work or if you'll need a custom web design.
Contact me to set something up. -
Will you help me set up my newsletter?
Yes, I can do that for you - as an add-on. Just send me a note with details about what you need and I'll put a quote together for you.
-
Will I be able to have a blog?
Absolutely! That is one of the great things about wordpress.. your blog will be ready to go right from the start. All it needs is your brilliance.
-
Can I pre-book my build week before I have my materials ready?
Yes you can. This can be a great way to give yourself a deadline and push yourself to GET IT DONE!
But, one caveat: If you pre-book your week and then find you won't be ready on time, there will be a $150 reschedule fee. This is also to help you stay accountable! You have to remember that I'm reserving this week FOR YOU and not booking other clients so if you pre-book, make sure you get your stuff together on time. :)
