Getting Started

I offer a free one-hour phone, in-person, or Skype®-facilitated consultation to discuss your specific web design needs and preferences.

    During our consultation, we may discuss some of the following items: 

  • Any design preferences or ideas that you may already have in mind, such as colors, layout, fonts, imagery, visual feel, site design theme, specific template or WordPress theme, etc.
  • Content that you already have or plan to incorporate into your site, such as specific text, images, graphics, page titles, etc.
  • Any specific timeline goals for project completion.
  • Your level of interest in creating a site that you can maintain and edit yourself once it is live.
  • Any specific technology (video, audio, slideshow, photo gallery, social networking feed, etc.) that will need to be presented on your site.
  • Anticipated size and scope of your web site.

After our consultation and upon your request, I will provide you a written estimate via email within 2-3 business days.

If you decide that you would like to work with me, I will draft a very basic service agreement and ask that you read it over, sign and return the agreement to me with a retainer fee (usually 50% of total estimated design fee). The remaining 50% balance will be due upon web site project completion.

Personal checks, credit card or PayPal payments accepted. Please contact me to obtain simple instructions for PayPal or credit card payment, or visit Payment page. A 3% fee may apply. I am happy to discuss an installment/payment plan.
