Getting started

What happens after I contact you?

I read every message myself and reply within one business day. From there, we set up a 15-minute call, then I send a clear proposal with pricing and a timeline.

What if I'm not sure what I need?

That's what the intro call is for. Choose "Not sure yet" on the form and I'll recommend the right fit. No pressure and no upselling. Start your project →

Do I need my content ready before we start?

No. On our call I'll walk you through what's needed, like text, photos and your logo, and when I'll need it.

Can you write my website copy and provide photos?

Yes. If you don't have copy, I'll draft it for you with SEO keywords for your business built in, and you can adjust anything during revisions. I can provide photos too. We'll talk through what you need on our call.

Do you only work with businesses in Bakersfield?

I'm based in Bakersfield, California and love working with local businesses, and I also design websites for clients across the country. Meetings happen by video call, so location is never a barrier.

Pricing & payments

How much does a website cost?

Website packages start at $2,450 for a focused site of up to 4 pages, $4,250 for up to 8 pages, and $7,500+ for larger, more complex sites. On an intro call I'll recommend the right fit. Compare packages →

How do payments work?

Projects begin with a 50% deposit. Your proposal spells out the rest of the payment schedule before any work starts.

Who pays for hosting and my domain?

You do. Your hosting and domain are paid by you and stay in your name, so you're always in control of your website.

Who owns my website?

You own it 100%. Once your site launches, the website, domain and content all belong to you.

What if I need more pages later?

Extra pages are $375 each on any package, quoted in writing before any work begins. Other changes, like extra revisions or new features, are $125/hour.

I already have designs. Can you just build the site?

Yes. Send them over, and I'll review them and quote in writing.

Do you offer nonprofit pricing?

Yes! I love supporting nonprofits, so verified nonprofits get $250 off Foundation, $400 off Growth or $500 off Strategic. Start your project →

Process & timeline

How long does it take?

It depends on my current schedule and how quickly content comes in. When you reach out, I'll give you a realistic launch estimate based on my availability. The biggest factor is usually content: the sooner I have your text, photos and logo, the sooner your site goes live.

How many revisions do I get?

Foundation includes 1 revision round per page and Growth includes 2. Strategic includes 3 rounds for the homepage and 2 for each interior page.

What happens at launch?

Before launch, you review every page and let me know everything looks good. Then I take your site live and make sure every link and form works. After launch, any edits you send are $125/hour.

Which platform will my site use?

Whichever fits your business best: WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix and more. For online courses, I also build on LearnWorlds. I'll explain the pros and cons so you can choose with confidence.

Can you build an online store?

Yes. Online stores and product catalogs are built on Shopify or WordPress with WooCommerce as part of the Strategic package. Entering your products is $125/hour, and online checkout is quoted based on your needs. See online stores →

SEO & after launch

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site includes basic SEO: page titles and descriptions, clear headings, image alt text, a mobile-friendly, fast-loading build and a sitemap submitted to Google. If you want to keep climbing, my SEO & Growth add-on ($125/hour) covers keyword research, new content and Google Business Profile help. See SEO & Growth →

What's a website audit, and what does it cost?

An audit is a full checkup of your current site: SEO, structure, content, speed and calls to action. You get a clear list of fixes, ranked by what will make the biggest difference, so you know what to do before spending money on a redesign. Audits start at $450 (most are $450-$900, depending on the size of your site) and are paid upfront. See website audits →

What's included in Website Care?

For $95/month, I log in once a month and handle the technical side: a full backup before every update, WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, and a health check to confirm your server's PHP version is current and nothing is broken. It doesn't cover text, photo or page changes. Those are $125/hour. It's month-to-month, with no long-term contract. See Website Care →

What if I need changes after launch?

I'm here for every client after launch. New edits and updates are $125/hour.

Can I edit my website myself?

Yes, it's your site. If you'd rather not, just send me your changes and I'll handle them for you at $125/hour, so you can stay focused on your business.

Can you fix or update my existing website?

Yes. I regularly rescue broken sites and handle redesigns, updates and ongoing maintenance.

Do you design logos and print materials too?

Yes. Brand packages start at $950, smaller projects like flyers, business cards and banners start at $150, and social media plans start at $450/month. See graphic design →

Do you manage social media?

I don't post or manage accounts. My social media plans start at $450/month, and I design your posts and write the captions, delivered each month ready for you to post. See social media plans →
