Website Accessibility + Usability Audit
If you have a basic website, but are lacking the polish of a trained expert’s direction, this package is for you. As a designer, one of my specialties is balancing form and function. In this audit, I will assess and provide recommendations to improve your user experience across your website and ensure that the design is accessible. Accessible design is the practice of holistically designing for users of all abilities, including those with vision impairments, and on all devices, including desktop, mobile, and tablet. Accessibly minded design raises the standards for readable and engaging design, taking into considerations like page layout and length, type size and spacing, interactive element identification. Maintaining compliance with WCAG standards improves the user experience for all users, not just those with disabilities.

Starter Squarespace Website
Are you launching a small business? Do you need some help getting your web presence off the ground? I specialize in working with fledgling businesses and start-ups to spotlight their unique selling point and create a web experience that is personal and unique.

Five page designs are included, plus a blog if you need one, which could feature your home, about, services, and contact, or however you envision you website experience. We’ll work together to create the content, and I’ll help source imagery. If you need a bigger website or an e-commerce build out, check out the comprehensive website design package.

No. 4: Deluxe Fajitas w/ Extra Guac
Comprehensive Website Design (+ e-commerce)
This deluxe website design package is designed to be tailored for any larger scope website project. It is also perfect if you have an old website that needs to be refreshed and you’ve got a ton of content you’d like to migrate to a new platform. Generally I recommend Squarespace for the website interface because it has a lower barrier to entry for inexperienced users, but if your business has a preferred content management system, we can use that. Additionally, if you need an e-commerce shop, I can make recommendations of platforms and get it set up.
Once we determine your website scale and needs, we’ll work together to develop the content and source visual assets. I’ll also include a bonus pack of 20 custom illustrated icons that are tailored to your brand aesthetics. All of my website designs are full responsive and easy to use on all display types including desktop and mobile, as well as being accessible for users of all abilities. This package also includes an SEO analysis and integration, complete with market research to find the optimal keywords for each landing page to help boost your search engine ranking. Once we’re ready to launch, I’ll host a 1 hour bootcamp walking you through your new website and making sure you’re comfortable with using the interface. As an added bonus, I’ll provide 3 free months of technical support and web page tuning.

How It Works
This is the standard process for a starter Squarespace package, but the flow can be adjusted based on the package you choose. We’ll go over the process more on the kickoff call.
Step 1: Project Inquiry
Contact me by filling out the form below. Specify your project goals, budget, and timeline. I’ll reach out within a couple days to schedule an intro call.
Step 2: Onboarding Call
We’ll schedule a free 30 minute call to discuss your business’s needs. If we decide to go for it, I’ll send you a project proposal that formalizes our project goals and defines the process and timeline. Once you accept that, I’ll send an invoice for a deposit plus a contract that outlines other project specs (like ownership, cancellation, revisions, etc.). Then we get to the good part: the design!
Step 3: Discovery
Once we’re ready to kick off, it’s time to get to know your business better. I’ll send you some questionnaires to better understand your business and industry and you’ll provide references of websites that you find successful. I’ll set up a project board on Notion for use to collaborate and share project process.
Step 4: Development
After reviewing your supportive documents, I’ll start working on the website wireframes. We’ll discuss navigation structure and content hierarchies, and iterate on visual themes. I’ll get text and imagery content from you, as well as sourcing and generating some myself. We’ll review each step of the way using our Notion project board.
Step 5: Website Refinement
Once I have a solid foundation of the website design, we’ll have a formal review to discuss what is and isn’t working. I’ll make revisions, fill in the rest of the content, and do keyword research for search engine optimization. I’ll also be auditing the website across devices to ensure the site is responsive and readable on all platforms. We can also discuss adding interactive or animated elements.
Step 6: Delivery
Once the website is finalized, I’ll present the completed design to you and your business. I’ll make any final tweaks and you’ll purchase your domain name. Finally, we’ll launch the completed website and share it with the world. After the project closes, I’ll provide development training to ensure a smooth transition to for you to easily edit your website going forward. If you prefer to leave your site in the hands of an expert, I also provide ongoing technical support.
