The Process

I'd like to meet you. Really.

The first step is to schedule an introductory meeting. After I get an idea of what you might need help with, I'll put together an estimate. For many clients, budget concerns are of the utmost importance. In my initial proposal, I'll outline any options I see for cutting your costs. I offer special pricing for non-profits, but my standard rates are extremely competitive.

My goal is to help you to get the visibility you or your organization need to move forward in an increasingly Web-dependent world. I want the end result to be clean, effective, and to represent who you are and what you do. With your vision in mind, I'll create three design drafts of your Web site, then start a conversation with you and your team about which design elements to keep and which to improve. I'll build in plenty of time for adjusting the design so it looks the way you want it to look. After fine tuning, I'll work with you to get your content onto each of the pages, putting them online so you and your team can test drive the site before it goes live.

I can also help with every step along the way, from choosing a web hosting company to finding the perfect artwork. All of my sites include search engine-optimized keywords to help people find you online. And if you like, I can design your site in a way that makes it easier for you to handle the updates in the future.

Optional services:
• writing web content
• suggesting secure donation sites for your nonprofit
• designing special-event graphics
• creating e-newsletters and managing a member database
• creating print brochures that mirror the look and feel of your Web site
I work and live on Bainbridge Island, Washington.
