Services

Website Development

I am committed to creating a website which meets your unique needs and tastes. The process will begin with a personalized wireframe layout and end with a fully-reponsive and live website.

Responsive Design

It is vital for your website to perform beautifully on a device of any size to retain clients. A responsive design allows your audience to browse and shop efficiently, whether they are using a desktop computer, mobile device, tablet or more.

Accessiblity

Easy-to-navigate and accessible experience. Maximizing your reach by ensuring even technology challenged or disabled clients can easily access your services.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Helping you reach the most clients possible by utilizing best practices.

The Process

  1. Step 1 : Consultation

    We will chat about your vision, needs, and expectations. Different tiers are available depending on your budget and needs.

  2. Step 2 : Proposal

    A personalized wire-frame layout will be created on figma so you can visually preview the site and suggest adjustments.

  3. Step 3 : Creation and Adjustments

    You will receive regular updates as the site is created, edited and tested.

  4. Step 4 : Deployment

    Your site will be deployed on a webhost (a webhost takes the code I write and turns it into a site). Congratulations, your site is now live!

    I I typically recommend using netlify to host the site, because it offers a SSL/TLS certificate for free (in other words, the s in http). If you don't mind having a ".netlify.app" after your site name, you can host your site for free. Ex: https://janetspellman.netlify.app/

    If you want to remove the "netlify.app" after your site name, I usually recommend namecheap to buy a domain. A domain is the "name" we enter in the searchbar (ex:"www.google.com"). The price can be as low as 10.28/yr but it depends on your desired site name. I highly recommend against godaddy, due to server outages, predatory pricing/hidden charges and poor support.
