  • — Josh & Shannon, brewwell

    We wanted a professional way to share information with investors and partners, a place to connect with service partners, and a space to gather customers. Alyssa was so approachable and seemed genuinely interested in what we were doing and helping us achieve our goals. She was also able to make recommendations of others who could help us and explained how she could work directly with them to make our lives easier.

    I was blown away by how much time Alyssa took getting to know us and our business. She was so engaged. She took all of our conversations and distilled them down into key goals, summarized perfectly how we wanted to present ourselves, and converted those ideas beautifully into graphics and a webspace. She was communicative, timely, and did what she said she would do, and provided guidance and resources along the way to help us fulfill our tasks.

    [We would recommend Alyssa to] anyone wanting to capture their business in graphical form (logo, brand, website, etc.) with support from someone who will work diligently to understand and express the essence and vision of that business beautifully and authentically.

  • — Andrew, Andrew Herbst Art

    I wanted to take the next step in my artistic practice and journey, and I needed a website that helped showcase who I am as an artist. I was very impressed with Alyssa’s ability to listen, and that really exceeded my expectations. Building a website is a collaboration and when you hire someone, you want to feel like you're being heard. Not only does she apply what you would like to see, but then expands on that into something that you didn't know you wanted. I'd recommend [her], and already have, to any business or person who is trying to put themselves out there. Alyssa will undoubtedly help you do that confidently.

FAQ:

  • Unfortunately not at this time; currently I work exclusively in Squarespace.

  • Squarespace is a great option for most small businesses and entrepreneurs because:

    • It’s simple and all-in-one; most features are built right into Squarespace and don’t require you to update third-party plugins

    • It allows for modern, customizable, and unique designs

    • It’s incredibly easy for you to update yourself after the design is done

    • It works smoothly on computers, tablets, and phones

    • It’s secure; only Squarespace’s in-house developers have access to its codes and software updates

    • It includes built-in SEO (search engine optimization) features (although full SEO services are recommended if ranking is important to you)

    I'm always happy to chat more about if Squarespace is a good fit for your business.

  • Squarespace: You will be required to create a Squarespace account.

    Google Drive: You will need to have access to Google Drive for content delivery.

    If you want to offer services through your website for things like appointment booking, accepting payments, or shipping, you would need to create accounts in those services’ platforms.

    Common accounts include Stripe for payments or a domain provider if you choose to use one other than Squarespace. (All platforms that easily integrate with Squarespace are viewable here.)

  • Squarespace: You will need to purchase a Squarespace membership at at least the Business Plan when we’re ready to activate your site. All plans are viewable here.

    Working with me, you will receive 20% off your first year with annual billing.

    Domain: You will need to purchase your domain. Through Squarespace, this is free for your first year. (Some restrictions apply.)

    Any additional platforms you choose to use (such as Acuity or Stripe) may have their own fees.

  • In order to ensure the best results for your website, our work together is a collaboration.

    I help you strategize what content will be on your site and where it will go, and I design and build your website.

    You will be responsible for delivering all content (text and photos) 1 week before your project start date, unless we bring one of my copywriting or photography partners onboard to assist you.

  • When we work together, I provide you with a copywriting guide and suggestions for what to write. However, my expertise is in visual design, so I leave writing about your business to you and/or a copywriting expert.

    All of your content (copy and photos) must be finalized and submitted 1 week before we start your project. Normally I book several months in advance, so you’ll have plenty of time to work on your text and photos.

    As someone who has written my own website copy, I completely understand how overwhelming and difficult a task it can be! If you feel that writing the text for your website will be a challenge for you, I would absolutely love to connect you with one of my copywriting partners before we begin your project.

  • Once we schedule your project, you’ll receive my copywriting guide with tips and suggestions for writing your text. Typically you’ll have a few months to work on your content before we get started. All of your content (text and photos) must be finalized and submitted 1 week before we start your project.

    If your content is not ready 1 week prior to your project start date, your website design may be pushed back to my next availability with a rescheduling fee.

    If you anticipate that gathering content will be a challenge for you (I know it is a huge undertaking!), I would love to connect you with one of my copywriting and/or photography partners to assist you in the process.

  • Please check out my blog post on this topic here!

    Optimizing your website to rank on Google is part of SEO, or search engine optimization. While I do input basic SEO features like page and image descriptions, this does not guarantee that your site will show up in Google searches.

    Comprehensive SEO requires an entirely different set of skills than design, so I am happy to recommend one of my SEO & digital marketing partners if rankings are important for your business.

  • I would love to! If you’re also interested in Branding, please check out my Signature Branding + Web Design Package (outlined above).

    Unless you book the Branding + Web Design package, I do not design or make any adjustments to your logo when I’m designing your website.

  • Once your site is complete, I provide you with a set of video tutorials that show you how to you update your website yourself.

    I’m also more than happy to make updates and edits for you if you’d prefer. We can make adjustments as-needed at my hourly rate, or we can set up a monthly retainer to allot time for your website updates each month.
