Custom Website

With a Custom Website Design my aim is to bring your vision to life with expert craftsmanship, ensuring every detail is just right.

A Custom Website Design takes 3-4 weeks.

This will start with Project Preparation from you to lay the foundation for a beautiful, functional website ensuring alignment with your vision:

  • Before I start designing, I’ll need a few things from you to make sure we’re on the same page :

    • A comprehensive questionnaire so I can understand what you want your website to include and how you want it to feel.

    • All your written content for the website.

    • Any images or graphics you'd like to include—this is your chance to dazzle your visitors!

    Design work can’t begin until I’ve received all of the above.

  • What’s Included in a Custom Website Design:

    • 4 - 6 custom-designed pages (e.g., Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact)

    • Edits to the text you provide-think of it as a little polish to your prose!

    • Mobile-responsive design to suite all devices

    • Basic SEO/search engine optimisation to help your website show up in web searches.

    • Unlimited revisions during the 2nd design week

    • A custom website guide so you can confidently navigate and make your own updates

    • 4 weeks of post-launch support, which includes: fixing bugs, answering questions, and assisting you with any edits you’d like to make

    • Full/comprehensive text for your website

    • Squarespace hosting fees and your annual domain subscription, as well as any third party integrations you require

    • Legal content (e.g., privacy policy, terms and conditions)-I recommend sourcing these from a professional to ensure you’re fully covered

  • A Custom Website Design is priced between $ 2 500 - $ 4 500 NZD, depending on the size and complexity of your site.
