Website Design & Virtual Assistant Services
Website Design Services:
Combining beauty and simplicity with great functionality…
Build a New Website
What you need to start the process:
- Decide on a hosting service. You can purchase your own, or have your website hosted with me. (If you would like to know more, let me know and we can discuss further)
- Purchase a domain name (business name)
If you want help with this part, I can provide guidance and assistance.
What I need from you before I begin:
- All copy ready to go (main content, contact info, blurbs, taglines, quotes)
- All images gathered in one place available to send or upload (the larger the better – prefer minimum 1920px wide)
- Any artwork / branding ready to go (headers, logos, colours, fonts, etc)
- What pages you want designed (eg. Home, About, Contact, Specific to Business)
- If you have a design preference, feel free to share links to examples
If any of this seems overwhelming, don’t worry, I am here to help you through this. If you would like, I have an information template to help you get started.
