FAQ

What projects fit best?

Businesses and organizations that have outgrown their current site and want something clearer, more distinctive, and easier to use. New sites and focused redesigns are both a fit.

What parts of the website can you handle?

Strategy, messaging, page copy, art direction, interface design, and development can all stay within one engagement. I can also work on a focused design-only, development-only, or content-led scope when that is the better fit.

Which platforms do you work with?

Most new projects are focused custom builds using modern, performance-first tools and hosting. I also work with Shopify when commerce calls for it, and I can support or improve existing WordPress sites when that remains the right fit. The recommendation follows the business—not a preferred piece of software.

How long do projects take?

Timing depends on scope. A focused landing page can move in a few weeks; larger sites with more content, integrations, or stakeholder review may take a few months. We agree on a realistic schedule before work begins, and I keep the process intentionally nimble.

What happens after launch?

Launch is the start of the working site, not the end of the relationship. Your team can handle everyday updates, and I can stay involved for refinements, new pages, campaigns, and ongoing support as the business evolves.
