why you’ll love working with me…
Best Practices
Your site will be mobile-friendly, SEO optimised, have clear visual hierarchy, good user experience, and GDPR compliant.
Custom-Designed
Each site is uniquely built just for you. Custom-coded CSS and HTML so your site feels 100% your brand and not like it come off the shelf.
Attention to Detail
I care about the small things like spacing, consistencies and broken links, because your customer does! I always double-check and test as I go along.
Stress-Free
You’ll get clear communication and processes throughout the project, from a detailed schedule to clear steps on how to feedback for the next stage.
so how does it work?
Before
We’ll start preparing for your website one month before your chosen week. I’ll share checklists and resources so that you can gather all of the necessary assets like branding, copy and images.
-
I’ll work on the wireframes (content plan for each site page) and the look and feel of your website design. I’ll share these with you in preparation for our first video call for feedback and finalisation at the end of the day.
-
With the design and wireframes finalised, it’s time for me to start building! I’ll pop some music on, get in the zone and have your site build done in no time. I’ll share a link and password that afternoon for you to view the first draft of your website!
-
We’ll have our second video call to discuss any areas that need improving, fixing or additional content. I’ll spend the day taking all the changes in, sharing updates with you and asking you plenty of questions to get it just right. The 2nd version of your site will be with you by the end of the day.
-
Now that the content and layout is pretty much there, I’ll work on optimising your website for mobile, as that’s where most of your customers will view it. I’ll share the final version of the site with you for sign-off at the end of the day. How exciting!
-
I’ll go through your site with a fine-tooth comb to check that all is working correctly (no broken links, on-page SEO is set up, contact forms are working etc.) When all of the details are finalised, I’ll get in touch to confirm you’re happy and then it’s time to GO LIVE! Finally, I’ll transfer ownership of the site to you and we can kick back to cheers to the weekend 🥂
After
When your site is live, I’ll share 3 handover videos so you know how to edit and update your site. You’ll then have my support for 30 days to answer any questions that come up and to fix any small issues that may arise.
-
Squarespace is my website platform of choice for my ‘Website in a Week’ packages. I enjoy its design interface and, after many years of building on it, it’s a platform I really know my way around for things like domains, coding, etc.
It’s also my recommended platform for clients because it’s an all-in-one solution that’s easy to manage and maintain.
I’m open to discussing what your worries with Squarespace might be, if any - book in a call with me here.
-
To take advantage of this package, you must have a minimum of 1 logo, 3 brand colours and 1 brand font that I can apply to your website. If you need help with this, I’m happy to recommend some talented brand designers you can work with.
When you have the minimum branding requirements ready, we can proceed with booking your ‘Website in a Week’ slot.
-
Absolutely! I’ll design your site off Squarespace first so we can get your design just right. Then I begin building with a blank Squarespace site, setting up your branding and building each page to your specific business needs.
I also use custom coding to ensure that your website doesn’t feel like ‘just another Squarespace site’.
-
I get it, content can feel overwhelming! I have a clear process in place to help you gather everything you will need for your site, including:
• A web preparation checklist
• Planning questionnaire
• A brand & asset checklist
• Recommended resources
• Fillable copywriting worksheetsThe gathering process will start at least a month before your ‘Website in a Week’ slot, so you’ll have plenty of time to get everything together.
-
Absolutely - just let me know and we can discuss it in your discovery call or our kick-off call (where we decide on your site pages) if your ‘Website in a Week’ is already booked.
Additional pages are £150 per page, added to the overall project cost.
