Website Building
I love building clean, simple and easy to use websites. My current and favorite CMS (Content Management System) platform is hands down SquareSpace. For the value, functionality and modern design, I really think it’s the best option out there today. Compared to WIX, WordPress and other CMS options, SquareSpace is not only easy to quickly setup and launch, it’s easy for non web/tech people to use and update well.
For these reasons and many more, I recommend SquareSpace as the CMS platform for personal and business websites alike.
Take a look at the pricing and options below:
SquareSpace (Personal)
$16/mo. Web Hosting (paid in full for a year for discount)
$6/mo. Google Workspace - Domain Name & Custom Email (FREE for first year then paid annually after that)
SquareSpace (Business)
$23/mo. Web Hosting with eCommerce functionality (paid in full for a year for discount)
$6/mo. Google Workspace - Domain Name & Custom Email (FREE for first year then paid annually after that)
This is for personal/business websites that may need scheduling functionality for clients to book appointments.
$16/mo. for 1 employee (paid in full for a year for discount)
$27/mo. for 2-6 employees (paid in full for a year for discount)
$49/mo. for 7-36 employees (paid in full for a year for discount)
I also strongly advise people to get a FREE domain and personalized email address with Google Workspace. SquareSpace currently has an offer for first time customers to get a Google Workspace subscription FREE for the first year. After the first year the pricing looks like this:
$6/mo. for 1 email (paid in full for a year for discount)
After getting SquareSpace web hosting established, a custom domain registered, personalized email setup and any other bells and whistles needed (like SquareUp for Stripe for CC processing), the next step would be customizations needed. Usually there’s not a whole lot needed outside of SquareSpace because so many important web elements like embedding video, graphics, audio players and formatting are already built into the platform. There may be some cases where there are limitations the platform simply cannot address, that’s where 3rd Party solutions come in that can be integrated.
Contact me if you’re interested in getting help setting up the subscriptions and building out the framework for your SquareSpace website. I’m happy to put a quote together for your specific website needs.
Logo & Graphic Design
I use industry standard Adobe Creative Suite tools for all my design projects. Whether clients need a Logo design in Adobe Illustrator that can be scaled from Business Card to Billboard, or some simple web based graphics for Social Media with Adobe Photoshop, I am very experience in using these incredible tools to create. Let me know what your specific project needs are and I can create a quote.
If you need printed materials I’m a big fan of Moo.com for all my printed needs. The pricing is fair, customer service great, and turnaround time is fantastic!
