Yes! I specialize in creating custom websites for clients who require a unique online presence that goes beyond standard templates. With a custom website, you can expect a comprehensive experience that includes personalized 1-on-1 consultation calls with me. During these calls, we will discuss your website's design, desired features, and strategies to make it visually appealing and functional for your specific needs. By investing in a custom website package, you will receive a complete solution that includes a professionally built website, customized functionality, training sessions, and more. These additional benefits are not available with my pre-designed website templates. I am committed to providing a tailored experience that ensures your website stands out and effectively represents your brand.

Website templates are designed for individuals who prefer a DIY approach to website creation. They provide a pre-designed structure that can be customized with personal images and text. Website templates are suitable for those with design skills and who enjoy the website creation process. On the other hand, a custom website is a total package experience I offer to my clients. It is a collaborative approach where the client can relax and trust that an expert is taking care of the entire process. This ensures that on launch day, everything is ready to go and the website functions exactly as desired without the client having to worry about technical details or functionality.

The duration of custom website creation varies depending on the specific project requirements and complexity. On average, most projects are completed within a timeframe of 4-8 weeks. However, this may vary and is dependent on the scope and intricacies of the project.

My standard custom website design package includes the following features, which can be tailored to meet each client's specific needs: - A professionally designed Wix website with up to 6-8 pages - Implementation of a pop-up lightbox for capturing email leads - Basic website copywriting services - Selection of a cohesive color palette to align with your brand - Selection of suitable typography to enhance the website's visual appeal - Creation of a brand style guide for consistent branding across the website - Mobile optimization to ensure your website looks great on all devices - Basic SEO optimization to improve search engine rankings - Domain setup and transfer assistance for a seamless online presence - Detailed instructions on how to update and maintain your website In addition to the above, I offer personalized 1 on 1 meetings as needed, project milestone meetings for review and feedback, and comprehensive training sessions to ensure you are comfortable managing and updating your website.

Absolutely! I believe in empowering my clients to understand how their website operates and enabling them to make small changes if they choose to do so. With every custom website I create, I provide an instruction manual that outlines the website's functionalities. Additionally, before we launch the website, we schedule training meetings to thoroughly go over all the specifics and address any questions you may have.

The custom websites I build are created using the Wix platform. Wix handles the hosting of the website, and depending on the specific needs and requirements of your site, there may be fees associated with it. On average, hosting fees with Wix range from $16 to $32 per month. These fees cover various features such as collaborators, email marketing, automations, and more. Once we have a clear understanding of your website's specifics, we can determine the best package option for your needs.

Yes, I can assist with both domain registrations and transfers. If you don't have a domain yet, I can recommend the best way to register one.

Absolutely! I believe it is essential for clients to understand how their website works and how to effectively utilize it. I offer training sessions to guide you through managing and updating your custom website.

While the initial website creation is a fixed cost, there may be ongoing costs for hosting, domain renewal, and any additional maintenance or support services you may require. These costs can be discussed and agreed upon during the initial consultation.

During our consultation call, I will thoroughly understand your business and its unique requirements. Once the contracts are signed and the project commences, the website development process will begin. Throughout this process, regular check-in meetings will be scheduled to present the designs and gather your valuable feedback. Additionally, continuous communication via email will ensure transparency and provide timely updates at every step of the way. It's important to emphasize that your website is an extension of your business and brand. My primary goal is to create a website that truly represents your vision and leaves you feeling proud to showcase it. Ultimately, my aim is to deliver a website that achieves the desired results for your business.

Yes, I can integrate various third-party tools and plugins to enhance the functionality of your custom website. Whether you need e-commerce features, booking systems, social media integrations, or other specific requirements, I can assist in finding and implementing the right solutions.

The website templates are built and made to be used on WIX. They will not be compatible with other website platforms such as Shopify, Square Space, Show It, etc. If you are looking for specific help on another platform, please contact me.

Yes! The website templates are fully editable. You can change fonts, text, colors, images within each of the templates. A basic knowledge of WIX is required, but if you can drag and drop you can customize any of the templates to your needs. The goal of the designs are to provide pre-built designs that are easily editable without the heavy lifting that is needed with the creation of websites.

Each website template product page has a link to the live demo link. You can view each template in desktop and mobile and see all the features available before you make your purchase.

Each web template design will come with a PDF of each of the pages included in the design, instruction sheet, fonts (if applicable), and desktop and mobile designs. Once the email address is provided for the WIX site transfer, you will receive the website design.

No! You do not need to buy any fonts for these templates. Most of the fonts used are open-sourced fonts that are free for commercial use. Any font that is used that is not a free open-sourced font, I will provide the necessary files for you to use. All my fonts have been licensed for commercial use. Instructions will be provided to you if you have a font that is used on one of your templates that you will need. Any font that I provide must be used for personal use or you can reach out to find out where you can buy the commercial font license.

I do not provide domains for the websites. You will need to purchase your domain from a site like Google Domains or GoDaddy. Once you have your domain, any of the web template designs can be transferred to that specific domain.

No, I do not provide hosting for websites. All the templates are built with WIX and WIX does the hosting of your website.
