Website Design FAQ
Website Design FAQ
1) How much will this cost?
While I do some website design work by the hour, most projects are based on a carefully figured flat fee. Get a free 20 minute consult with me to help determine the scope and cost of your website/graphic design project.
2) How does the payment structure work?
Half the balance is required as a retainer fee to begin your project. The ending balance should be paid just before your website goes live. I strive to make websites affordable to Marin’s small businesses, and even offer a payment plan, if needed.
3) How long does it take?
It usually takes about me 3 to 4 weeks to design and develop a new website, but can take longer depending on the complexity of your project. Squarespace builds usually come together faster than WordPress sites.
5) What format should my website files be in?
I usually recommend that you send everything in electronic format via email, Dropbox, or Google Drive. I can help you convert your paper documents into electronic formats, if needed. All text should be submitted in MS Word format, or PDF. Images should be in .gif, .jpg, .png, etc.
6) What if I don’t like the website design?
I will not begin the build phase of your website project until you have signed off on the design. Initially, I provide two designs to choose from. After that, you’ll have two rounds of edits to your chosen design.
Please know that virtually none of my clients over the past ten years have needed additional edits beyond the initial two. Also know that your complete satisfaction in the look of your website is of the utmost importance to me.
7) How do I update my website?
I can maintain it for you, or tutor you in how to maintain it yourself. Both WordPress and Squarespace websites are easy to work with.
8) Do you re-design existing websites'?
Of course! I know how quickly website functionality and design expires on the web. Contact me today and let’s talk.
9) Can you work by the hour?
Yes, I can work by the hour on your existing website. Buy as many pre-paid hours as you like.
