Some Q&A

  • I prefer Squarespace because it's user-friendly and ideal for new or established businesses. Handing over a newly designed website created with Squarespace is not overwhelming since it doesn't require a steep learning curve.

  • The duration of the website design process can vary:

    Template Launch Ready: 5 days
    Custom Website Design: 4 – 8 weeks

    These timelines depend on how quickly I receive your content and feedback.

    1. Discovery Call – We’ll discuss your goals, requirements, and vision for your website.

    2. Custom Proposal – Based on our discussion, I’ll craft a proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and pricing.

    3. Deposit & Agreement – A signed contract and deposit secure your project slot.

    4. Design & Development – I’ll design and refine your site based on your feedback.

    5. Launch & Support – Once finalised, your site goes live, and I’ll provide guidance for easy management.

  • You’ll need to have your branding (logo, colours, fonts), website copy, and images ready before the project begins. If you need help with content, I can recommend specialists.

  • Branding isn’t included in my website packages, but I do offer brand styling as a separate add-on or check out my Brand Styling Kits. This includes a logotype, colour palette, font information, and a mini brand guide which is a great starting point for those who need a simple but cohesive visual identity.

    However, for a fully developed brand strategy, I recommend working with a well-seasoned branding professional down the track to ensure your brand has strong positioning and depth. If that’s something you’re interested in, I can recommend trusted specialists.

  • Yes! I provide guides and you’ll have access to video tutorials, so you won’t be dependent on a designer for small changes.

  • You’ll receive a 30 day post-launch support period for minor tweaks. If you need ongoing website updates, I offer The Design Concierge (Coming Soon) retainer package for continuous support.

  • Once you’ve chosen a package, I’ll send a contract and invoice for the deposit. After that, we’ll schedule your project, and I’ll guide you through the next steps to bring your website to life.

    1. Template Selection – Choose a website template from my collection.

    2. Branding & Content Submission – You’ll provide your logo, brand colours, images, and content.

    3. Setup & Customisation – I’ll install the template, adjust branding, and refine the layout for your needs.
