10-Day Website
What can you do in ten (business) days?
Well, Java Script (one of the things that runs the entire internet!) but let’s not get all techy here, and stick to your actual needs.
Here’s my promise: In ten short days, you can have a brand new, functional, up-to-date website that’s extremely easy on the eyes, and will have your visitors go: aaah!….
I like simple, clear, beautiful websites with a clear Call To Action (we’ll talk), and a good chunk of personality shining through.
And if you ask me nicely, I’ll make one for you.
Quickly.
1. Test the Waters
Let’s make sure we like each other first, ok?
This little form will walk you through the preliminaries (your current website “cringe” list, your ideal website wish list, etc).
We’ll talk it over at mutual convenience, and then, well, first date over, it’s commitment time, but only if you’re ready.
I’ll send you a proposa, and —if you like it— we’ll get rollin’.
How it works
2. Gather
Just so you know, I can’t make magic out of thin air. But I will help you collect yours.
You will receive a workbook to help you gather all your collateral: logo, colors, fonts (aka “brand assets”), images, existing copy, and any messages you want the new website to convey to your clients about yourself and your business*.
*”Brand assets and images —what?! I don’t have a budget for that!!” I hear you. This entire website was built with a handful of free stock images. If you’d like to add basic branding and image selection, we can do that!
3. Build
This is where the 10-day clock starts ticking, and I get to work, while you sit back tapping your foot.
If you’re curious, here’s a sneak peek at my process, but I gotta tell you, most of the time it’s not this clean or pretty, and at least some of the time it involves ripping my hair out.
Hence the need for closed doors (it also keeps me from hearing your foot tapping, and we’re both happy.)

What’s Included?
Website
Having tried WordPress, I have returned to working in exclusively in Squarespace 7.1. Its backend apparatus is as spare and beautiful as the front end that your visitors see.
And you’ll end up with a website that looks like a million bucks, but costs a fraction to create and maintain.
Pages
core pages: Home Page, About/Team Page, Products and/or Services Description Page, Location & Contact Page, FAQ’s/Policies
Images
If you have a collection of quality images, great. If not, we will create a small collection of free stock images to personalize your website design and pull it together.
I promise it will not look cookie-cutter. This entire website was made with stock imagery.
