SHOWIT BARRIE WEBSITE DESIGNER

You'll receive a questionnaire that will help me understand your business, goals, target audience, aesthetics — And your answers will help me develop a focused strategy for our project! You will also be sent a Google Drive folder where you can share all of your website content with me - branding, images & copy. Once the questionnaire is submitted & content is sent in, that's all I will need from you to begin the project on your start date. During the design process, I may also need access to some third-party accounts which will be requested at that time. 

Yes! Websites are a small monthly investment, and your investment for my services includes only the website design, guidance & setup. In order to have your website live on the web, you need to pay monthly for a hosting subscription through Showit which begins at $24/month, and have a private domain which is approximately $20/year (e.g. www.businessname.com). 

There may be additional costs depending on if you're looking for any features on your website! These are not mandatory but include email marketing platform, custom fonts, CRM integration, etc. 

Once we finish the website, it's all yours to update as often whenever you'd like! You will have full ownership. My number one priority is making sure you feel confident making edits to your website on your own! I will be providing a personalized Showit training video, which will always be available to you for future reference, and you'll be able to make any changes (update copy, change images, etc). I also offer maintenance at my hourly rate, if you prefer to outsource any future designs or website tasks!

Yes! When I first moved from Squarespace to Showit, I couldn't believe my eyes at the improvement of my search engine ranking. Even my custom clients have seen major improvements, some ranking #1-2 on Google in just a few months of launching - since switching to Showit.

Showit offers built-in SEO tools to help you optimize your website for search engines. I can't personally guarantee an improvement to your ranking, as the platform doesn't matter as much as these factors: website traffic, your content & keywords (in copy & images), business/marketing strategies, backlinks, domain authority, etc. These are all things I cannot provide as each business is unique. The basic SEO inclusion in my package includes all essential steps to start ranking, and I use all Showit built-in tools to get you started. Please keep in mind, SEO takes a lot of time & patience, especially if you're a new business with no domain authority. 

Yes I do! I'm always willing to work with each client to determine the best payment plan. Most projects are split into 3-4 separate payments which is usually preferred, as you can save up on your own and submit bigger payments on those timelines. But I can also accommodate 6-8 month plans! All projects require 25% payment to reserve the project date, your spot is not guaranteed until payment is submitted. 

It varies by project, but typically the process lasts 6-10 weeks for the website design. If you are working with a brand designer or copywriter, this will elongate the timeline. When your starting week begins, it takes 3-4 weeks for me to research & design the entire website. Once you receive the first preview, you'll begin revisions. Depending on your timely communication & feedback, the revision process lasts 1-2 weeks. After there are no more revisions, it will take me 1 week to finalize the website & get it ready for launch.
