Web Design | First Website or Optimization

I currently offer UX infused web design for Artists and small businesses needing their first website, or optimization for those who have one already but it’s just… not quite right. Explore each type of service below to find the right fit for your project.


First Website

For artists and business owner who are ready to establish their first website, but have no idea where to start. I’ll help you figure out what your website needs and how it should be organized. My service starts with an in depth interview you to assess your goals and ideal outcomes. This all informs the design of your project. The final result will be a website that makes sense for your customers, and is aesthetically authentic to your creative practice, brand, or business.

Pricing Transparency

Pricing is based on your specific platform, features, billing cycle, and business model. My service starts at $450. Please note there are ongoing costs associated with running a website that are separate from my service price. I put together a free resource to inform and help you prepare for them here.
I also offer a no cost consultation and quote based on your needs before we start so that you can move forward in confidence.

Ongoing Support

Nervous about managing your website after launch? I can arrange an appropriate monthly retainer based on your needs so that I’m always available to help you update your website and listings as you grow. This service is optional, but can be very helpful if you’re not interested in maintaining your website, or are simply too busy with the other aspects of running your business.


Existing Website Optimization

Already have a website but it just isn’t working? Maybe it doesn’t look the way you imagined, visitors aren’t finding what they need, or you know something is off but can’t figure out what. I’ll look at your website through both a design and UX lens, identify what’s getting in the way and help you turn it into a clearer, more cohesive, and effective experience. This can range from visual polish and layout adjustments to navigation, info graphics, content hierarchy and the little details that make a website feel intentional. Outcomes typically mean less confusion for your customers, better conversion, and a more professional online presence.
