Project Workflow
I’m always excited about the potential opportunity to work with new clients. My goal is to create a website that reflects your vision and helps your business succeed. Below, you’ll find an overview of the process from start to finish so that you know what to expect every step of the way.

Your business is unique, and your website should be too. I deliver custom-made websites built for success, with a design that aligns with your brand, goals, and audience.
A great website is built through open communication and teamwork. I’ll keep you involved throughout the process, ensuring your ideas are heard and your vision is brought to life.
From design to development, I take pride in delivering high-quality work with attention to detail. Every website is crafted with care to ensure a polished and professional result.

Enquiry Form
Fill out the contact form on my website to submit your enquiry. This helps me understand your needs and allows me to address any initial questions you may have about my services.

Video Call and Proposal
We'll have a no-pressure call where I’ll learn more about your business and requirements. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions you may have. After the call, I’ll send a tailored proposal that outlines the scope, timeline, and cost of the project.


Preparation
3.
Onboarding
Once the contract is signed and the first invoice is paid, we’ll confirm a start date. I’ll send you a detailed questionnaire to gather additional information about your business and project goals, ensuring I have everything I need before the design process begins.
4.
Gather Content
You’ll provide the essential content for your website, including copy, images, and any existing branding or guidelines. Before we begin, I’ll review everything and follow up with any questions to ensure we’re fully prepared for the next stage.
Web Design
5.
Moodboard and Wireframe
Once we reach our start date, I’ll begin by drafting ideas (perhaps with a moodboard), exploring fonts, colours, imagery and layouts. I’ll gather your feedback, and from there, design a wireframe (a basic layout of your website’s structure) and refine it based on your input.
6.
Website Mock-up
With a clear design direction in place, I’ll create a full website mockup incorporating your copy, imagery, and branding. You’ll have the opportunity to review and request revisions until you’re happy with the final design.
7.
Website Development in WordPress
I’ll bring the design to life in WordPress, ensuring the website is fully functional and responsive. At this stage, I’ll also use WordPress plugins to optimize for SEO, speed, and security, setting up a solid foundation for performance.


Completion
8.
Demo and Next steps call
I’ll share a link to your fully functional website so you can explore it before it goes live. We’ll have a call to walk through how everything works, answer any final questions, and discuss the next steps as you take full ownership of your site.
9.
Launch and Offboarding
Once you give the final approval, your website will go live! I’ll provide an offboarding pack with a step-by-step guide on making updates yourself. You’ll also have two weeks of post-launch support to ask any questions as you get familiar with managing your site.
Post Project Support
I understand that maintaining a website is an ongoing task, which is why my offboarding pack includes clear, personalised guidance to help you confidently make updates and changes yourself.
If you’d prefer me to handle updates for you, I offer hourly support for tasks such as adding new content, uploading blog posts, updating plugins, or making changes as your business evolves. I’m happy to assist whenever you need.

How long does a website design or redesign take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of the project, but most websites take around two months to complete. During our discovery call, we’ll discuss your specific needs and set a start date. At the proposal stage, we’ll agree on a timeline to ensure we both have everything we need before the project begins, helping us make the most of our time.
How much does a website cost?
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your website. The more pages, features, and custom elements required, the more time it takes to build, which impacts the cost. We’ll discuss pricing during our discovery call, and I’ll always do my best to create a solution that aligns with your goals and budget.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! My standard payment structure is 50% upfront and 50% before launch, but if you prefer to split payments into smaller instalments over the course of the project, I’m happy to discuss a plan that works for you.
What if I just need small updates to my website?
I’m happy to assist with small updates and improvements. We’ll discuss the scope of the work, agree on a fair price, and set a timeline that fits your needs.
Do you do design only work?
Yes! If you only need the visual design of your website, I can create a professional wireframe and mock-up using Figma. You’ll receive a complete design file that you (or a developer) can implement on your platform of choice.
Do you do development only work?
Yes! If you already have a fully designed website mockup and need it built in WordPress, I can handle the development for you. This process is usually shorter and more cost-effective than a full design and development project.
Do you work with businesses like mine?
I work with female entrepeneurs and service-based businesses that are led by women. From creative services like wedding hair stylists and photographers, to virtual services that include online tutors and virtual assistants, I can help. Simply fill out the form on my contact page to learn how I can help you.
Process & Working Together

Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
What is your design and development process?
I follow a clear, structured process to ensure your website meets your needs. You can find a detailed breakdown on my Project Workflow page, which outlines each stage from initial enquiry to final handover.
How much involvement is required from me as the client?
Your input is essential to ensure the final website truly represents your business and goals. Before design work begins, I’ll need to learn about your business, brand, and ideal customers. We’ll discuss your goals, and I’ll ask you to provide website copy, imagery, and any existing brand guidelines. Once design work is underway, I’ll regularly check in for feedback to ensure we’re on the right track. After launch, I’ll hand over your site, along with guidance on how to manage it going forward.

Do you provide branding or logo design?
While I incorporate your brand colours, fonts, and styling into your website, I don’t offer full branding or logo design services. If you need professionally designed branding, I recommend having this in place before we begin. That way, we can ensure your website is built around a strong, cohesive brand identity.
Can I request changes after the website is built?
Throughout the design stages, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to request revisions, ensuring the final build meets your expectations. If you need additional changes after the website is built or launched, I can provide a custom quote for the updates. I also offer an hourly rate for ad-hoc requests after project completion.
Technical & Platform Questions

Why do you use WordPress for website development?
WordPress is the industry standard for professional web design and development, offering flexibility, scalability, and full control over your website. Unlike platforms like Squarespace and Wix, WordPress allows:
-
- Complete creative freedom – You’re not restricted by built-in templates, so your website can be fully customized to match your brand and needs.
- Greater control over hosting – You can choose a hosting provider that suits your budget and performance needs, optimizing for speed, security, and cost.
- Seamless ownership and transferability – Since WordPress is widely used, your website won’t be tied to a single provider, making future updates and transfers easier.
- Expanded functionality – With thousands of plugins available, you can integrate features like SEO optimization, security enhancements, and performance boosters as your business grows.
This combination of flexibility, independence, and long-term scalability makes WordPress the best choice for both myself as the developer and for you as the website owner.
Will I be able to edit my website after it's launched?
Yes! Once your website is complete, you’ll have full control over editing and updating it. I’ll provide you with clear instructions and guidance so you can confidently make changes on your own. Plus, I’ll be available for two weeks after handover to answer any questions or assist with minor adjustments.
Do you provide hosting or domain registration?
I don’t purchase hosting or domains on your behalf, but I will walk you through the process to ensure everything is set up correctly in your own name. This means you’ll have full ownership and control from the start, avoiding any complications with handover in the future.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. Your website will be designed and developed to be fully responsive, ensuring it looks great and functions smoothly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
What happens if my website breaks or I need support in the future?
If you need assistance after your website has launched, I offer ad-hoc support at an hourly rate. Details on how to request support will be included in your offboarding pack.

Will you write the content for my website?
During our discovery call, we’ll discuss your content needs. If you already have copy (whether written by you or a professional copywriter) I’ll happily incorporate it into your site. If you need help with writing copy, I can certainly assist with that. I’ll work with you to understand your goals, voice, and message, ensuring the copy is engaging and aligned with your brand. I'll also write the text for your website with SEO in mind, meaning I'll use key words to help make your website appear highly in search engine rankings.

Will my website be optimised for search engines?
Absolutely! I prioritise SEO optimisation as part of every website project. I’ll set up key on-page SEO elements, including optimized meta descriptions, headings, and alt text for images. I’ll also use trusted SEO plugins to further optimize your content and ensure your website is structured for search engines, helping it rank higher in search results. Plus, I’ll create a sitemap to improve indexability and overall visibility.
Will my website be fast and secure?
Yes, I’m committed to ensuring your website performs at its best. I use high-quality hosting, optimized page builders, and performance plugins to ensure your website loads quickly and provides a smooth experience for visitors.
