Now there are pretty websites and there are websites that work.
I believe that the best ones can be both
and it’s my mission to make one like that for you.

How will the site integrate with your business plan?
What is your site going to do? Is it a shop; a business description; a portfolio or a portal for information?
Will you be directing people in from external advertising, social media and marketing? Or will it be a starting point for people, to direct them outwards to some other destination?
Will visitors come to spend money through the site itself; are they coming here to learn about your work, are you providing links to third party products making you affiliate income, or will you want visitors to linger here while you collect revenue from advertisers?
Why does this site matter to you?
As with everything in life, there will be two conversations going on in parallel - what your words say about the subject, and what your presentation will say about you.
A website's graphic design is its body language. Your visitors will get an impression of you almost before they read a word of content.
If you feel strongly about what you do, it's our job to transmit that strength of feeling through the screen. This will help your visitor to feel positive about your offer and to want to work with you.
So let's talk about where you are coming from on this.
What will your site say to your visitors?
Your site first has to attract attention, and then to answer just two questions.
'What do you do?'
and
'Can I trust you to do it for me?'
If it isn't doing that, then nothing else matters.
Let's also dig a bit deeper into messaging techniques. Do you have a logo, fonts, colours? Are these aligned with your message or are they legacy designs that seemed like a good idea at the time?
How will the site work in partnership with your other marketing?

Let's discuss the site visitor's journey.
There are standard recipies for sales-funnel sites and information sites. Portfolio and blog sites can be very different, but they all should be legible with a clear heirarchy to help your visitors find what they are looking for.
We shall have an informed discussion about how to optimise effective design while transmitting a message of sincerity and professionalism.
We can make your visitors' journey both enjoyable and easy for them. The trick is to express what you are offering sincerely, legibly and with flair.

What will you and I each be bringing to the project?
Let's discuss:
Hosting, domain registration, and SSL.
Branding and logo design.
Content: copy, photography, videos.
Premium plugins, eg: spam filters, GDPR compliance, analytics and mailing utilities.
Custom java or other scripts and/or lotties.
Training in post-delivery content management.
I promise clear and early discussions to manage the delivery of our contributions for an effective and enjoyable project.
Clarity on delivery, payment and completion on good terms.
At the outset, I will provide a clear routemap for your input and approval. We will agree stages for work, signoffs and payment up to and beyond the hand-over of a responsive website.
The risk-free signoff and payment structure allows you to exit from our agreement at any stage, to take over yourself or pass to other specialists.
I also provide as standard a content management system to help you to edit and manage all your dynamic content. And I will train you how to use it.
