WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
WHAT MAKES A GREAT WEBSITE?
A GOOD WEBSITE SHOWCASES YOUR BRAND,
BUT A GREAT WEBSITE CLEARLY ESTABLISHES WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU REPRESENT
I collaborate with you to understand what your business stands for, it’s needs, and your vision. I’ll not only develop, but strategically design your website to clearly showcase who you are to prospective customers and stand out amongst competitors.
THIS IS HOW I CAN HELP
it's your story, let's tell it
STORYTELLING
Storytelling is the key behind my web design. This is not a ‘once upon a time’ or campfire story as you may be thinking. Telling a story through a website is told through content, graphics, photos, and the layout of your site to reflect those ‘who you are’ and ‘what you represent’ components that I gather from collaboration.
For instance, you’re a company that is on a mission to make a change. By creating a website through storytelling, you build a stronger connection with the audience. This is because the storytelling design engages your audience to help them understand your mission and want to be apart of the change as well. Thus, the client is more inclined to use your services or promote your brand because of this unique connection.

WHAT I CAN OFFER:
WHICH PLATFORM DO I USE?
WordPress or Shopify
Why WordPress?
great for:
- Real Estate
- Photographers
- Bloggers
- Restaurants
- Portfolios
WordPress is very east to use. It is the most versatile option for website developing at the right cost… literally, it’s free. It’s options for customization are endless. There are thousands of plug-ins at no additional cost. However, you do have to pay for the hosting site. I use Flywheel for my hosting services, which altogether allows me to provide you a custom website at an affordable cost. There is no wonder why there is 455 million websites through WordPress, some of which include CNN, New York Times, Vogue, & Mercedes-Benz.
WHY SHOPIFY?
GREAT FOR:
- e-commerce
Shopify is my go-to for e-commerce websites. That is because it is extremely user-friendly and hands down number one in it’s operation management system. Their internal design makes it so easy to update inventory and track reports across all sales channels without having to download any additional apps. This is great for clients because they want the complexities to be in their design, not in managing the online store afterwards. Shopify is not free like WordPress. However, it is a fully-hosted e-commerce solution, which means there will be no additional hosting costs. The plans are very affordable and I will ensure no hidden costs when reviewing your business plan with you.

What platform will work best for you?
I would need to understand your specific needs to advise you on which platform will work best for you. Therefore, I have created a contact form for you to answer some basic questions.

How much will it cost to build your website?
Every project is extremely different. Therefore, price varies depending on the size of the website, time frame, and components of work you will be hiring me for.

This is totally up to you! I offer training to show you the ins and outs of the website after it’s completion or I offer monthly subscriptions for continuing management services. These monthly subscriptions and the cost associated with it, will be customized to your direct needs.
