Let's Build You a Website That Works For Your Business

Having used and mastered Wix over 7 years, I'd love to build you a website that works for your business. I come at websites from a high level consultant view: I've spent years working with organizations on what their site should look like, what it needs to include, and how to optimize it for success, and now I will do that with and for you. 

​

Why Wix?

​

Ask most website developers and they'll spit on Wix: this is mostly because they're trained on something else (Wordpress: more on that later). Wix is fantastic in how easy it is to use and customize while meeting your needs.

​

Now, as a generalist, I do also see pros and cons that I think you should know about before deciding on either Wix or me to build your website. 

​

Cons:

  • Wix websites do not look or function as well on mobile as other designers like Squarespace or Wordpress. If this is crucial to you, if you know your customers need a world-class mobile experience, Wix may not be for you

  • Wix e-commerce is garbage - and that's from me. I know a bunch of workarounds, but it'll never be as good as, say, Shopify or Wordpress

  • Wix has some of the weirdest limitations. These affect a handful out of probably thousands of businesses, but hey, when you hit the limitation, it's not ideal!

​

Pros:

  • So easy to use and customize, so even if/when you're done with me it's so easy to manipulate (in a drag and drop system) 

    • this versus other platforms like Wordpress where you're usually tethered to your/a web designer for life​

  • Has 99% of features most businesses want 

  • A lot of attainable reference examples of sites 

  • Great for almost every business

The Usual Process:

  1. We get to know each other and your business inside and out. If I know what you're trying to achieve in your business, then I can better build you a website that meets those goals.

  2. You complete a questionnaire and requirements. Things like look, feel, colours, fonts, sending me images you want used, etc. You also share your favourite websites with me and why you love them. 

  3. I build a raw skeleton, and we review it together. 

  4. I fill in the skeleton and we have check in's as I build so there's no surprises.

  5. We review the final draft of the website and tweak it as needed.

  6. Your site goes live!

You can keep me on to update your site on a minimal hourly basis, or take it over from there. 

The Investment

I believe in transparent pricing. While everything I do is uniquely quoted, I will say a custom Wix website starts at $2000 CDN plus taxes. ​This may be less for some businesses that need very few pages, and may go up based on pages, complexity and capabilities.
