Yes—absolutely. A well-designed website isn’t “set it and forget it.” It requires regular updates, security checks, and backups to stay running smoothly and safely. That’s where my maintenance service comes in. I offer proactive monthly maintenance so you don’t have to worry about things breaking, becoming outdated, or getting hacked. Here’s what I do behind the scenes: Backups: I run automated daily backups and keep a secure monthly copy in my private Dropbox, so your site can always be restored if needed. Plugin & WordPress Updates: I log in manually several times a week to update plugins, your theme, and WordPress itself—testing everything after each update to make sure nothing breaks. If it does, I roll back and wait for stable versions. Security Checks: Daily scans flag malware or threats. If anything is detected, I restore a clean version and get your site back to safety quickly. Spam Management: I routinely clear spam comments and trash to keep your backend clean and performing well. Reporting: You’ll receive a monthly report summarizing everything done to keep your site secure, current, and reliable. Prefer weekly or biweekly reports? That’s an option too. This service saves you time, prevents headaches, and protects your investment—so you can stay focused on running your business while I handle the tech.

Yes. Every website I design is fully responsive and looks great on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

First we talk strategy. Then I design a homepage layout for review before anything gets built. Once you approve the direction, we move into design for the other pages. After that, I develop the site, test it across devices, and launch when you're ready. I’ll also train you on how to make updates if you want that option.

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the site. A smaller brochure-style website can take just a few weeks, while larger, multi-page builds with custom features typically take closer to two months. I’m fast, organized, and communicative—I'll give you a realistic timeline up front, keep the project on track, and keep you informed every step of the way.

That depends on your current platform, goals, and how your site was originally built. Sometimes an update makes sense; other times a rebuild is the cleaner, more future-proof option. I’ll let you know what’s best after a discovery call.

Yes. I can guide you with a content framework and prompts—or work with trusted copywriters or AI-based tools if you need more support. I’ll also help organize your content for clarity and user flow.

That depends on the platform and your needs. When I build in WordPress, I create fully custom designs—tailored to your brand with no reliance on pre-built templates. For platforms like Squarespace and Shopify, there are some design constraints due to their drag-and-drop nature (like columns and strict theme capabilities). However, I never let a template define the final result. Even within those platforms, I customize layouts, design elements, and brand presentation so that your site looks and feels like you—not like a cookie-cutter theme. When flexibility, scalability, or advanced features are needed, I typically recommend WordPress. But great design is about matching the right tool to the job—and sometimes a template-based platform is exactly the right choice when you need something fast, affordable, and easy to maintain.

I specialize in WordPress (including Avada), Squarespace, and Shopify—depending on your goals, budget, and how much flexibility or control you want after launch. I’ll help you choose the right platform for your needs. If you already have a developer but you just need me to provide them new design files for the front end of your website, I can do that too.
