Process
When designing a new website or migrating your current website, we keep things simple.
Brand-New Website Design
It begins with understanding your business goals and how your website can support them. Together, we define the purpose of your site — whether that’s lead generation, online sales, portfolio showcases, bookings, or something uniquely yours.
Redesign of an Existing Website
If you already have a site and want to refresh it, I’ll look at what’s working and what’s not. We’ll refine your content flow, update visuals to match your current brand, and improve usability and engagement. Whether that means polishing your layout or giving your entire presence a facelift, I take the strategy behind the design seriously.
Migration to Squarespace
Moving from another platform (like WordPress) doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I handle the migration carefully — transferring your content, configuring your new Squarespace setup, and keeping your SEO intact. The goal is a smooth transition that gives you the security, speed, and ease of editing you’ve been wanting.
Typical Timeline
Starting with research and discovery, I map out structure with wireframes, iterate your design in mockups, and then build your site in Squarespace. I prioritize a content-first mindset so your strongest copy and visuals take center stage.
—Discovery & strategy: about 1 week
—Wireframes & content planning: about 1 week
—Visual design & revisions: 1–2 weeks
—Build & content population: 1–2 weeks
—Quality control, revisions, and launch: about 1 week

Homework
To make the process smooth and efficient, I ask that you provide:

—Website page content and imagery
—Login access to your Squarespace account and domain registrar
—Prompt feedback and approvals so we stay on schedule
