Web Designer for Small Business
Your website is your business'
most important piece of real estate.
As a web designer for small businesses, I KNOW that your website is the hub of your marketing. It's home base for all of your social media efforts, paid advertising, customer information, purchases, and more.
Emma Thurgood is a web designer for small businesses, NPOs and start-ups.
And it needs to be awesome.
Building and maintaining a website can be exhausting, especially if that's not why you started your business. Choosing a platform, understanding how to use it, deciding on what pages you need to have, and then making that website convert can be daunting if you're not confident in what you're doing. And that's where I can step in.
Whether you need a website built from scratch, an overhaul of your existing website, or just need a person that can handle your routine updates, I can help. I have a comprehensive knowledge of design, user experience, SEO and the nuances of all the major platforms, making me the ideal web designer to set you up for long-term success.
It depends. Every project, even brand new sites, are different. Variations in page quantity, platform, functionality, etc. will all impact the final contract price. That said, I am a firm believer in transparency of pricing and you'll know exactly what you are purchasing when you sign a contract with me.
Full website builds or overhauls can take as little as three months or as much as twelve. A lot of the timeline depends on your business' capacity to submit material, review design options and approve a course of action. Single pages are usually completed within a week or up to a month, depending on scope. Routine updates are processed on a weekly basis.
If you already have a website and are trying to figure out if an overhaul or new site would be better, I can help you figure that out in our initial consult. I usually look at things like the current structure and functionality to see what's working or broken and will make a recommendation on what could be salvaged or if a creating a new site would be better.
This service is for adding a brand new page to your existing site or if major content and design changes need to be made to an existing page. Blog posts are also covered by this service.
This service is a monthly retainer for routine content edits your site may need. This can include things like adding events, minor edits to text and images, opening and closing registration forms, adding products, and more. The amount you'll pay each month will be dependent on the level of support we anticipate you needing each month.
You get the tools and knowledge you need to continue on without me. While I enjoy collaborating with my clients long-term, I know that it's not always possible. Whenever our contract ends, I make sure you have what you need to continue on your own or hand off to another agency.
