Absolutely! Once I receive your request for your free discovery meeting in my inbox, my gears start turning. I will check to see if you have a website, and perform a brief review of your website's design, platform, SEO, page speed, and current marketing efforts so I can determine where your website stands currently and generate ideas for making it better.

Yes! You will need a logo for your website, so if you don't have one, then we can discuss adding branding and identity design to your package.

Various website platforms are available to meet specific goals and needs. During your free consultation, we'll talk about your project, and choose a platform that's best for your needs and comfort level.

Yes! The packages above can certainly be customized to add or remove features. Please schedule your free consultation so we can discuss your landing page needs. The cost starts at $500 and is based on the complexity of the design.

For website design, I use Adobe XD and/or Figma to create low and high-fidelity designs.
‍
For custom graphics and logos, I use an old-fashioned pencil, Adobe Illustrator for digitizing and editing.
‍
For photography, I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to edit and optimize photos.
‍
I use Bloom for the client portal that allows for project management, billing, and contract and document storage.

For planning and collaboration on branding and content strategy workshops, and research, I use Milanote (a Notion alternative).
‍
Finally, I use zoom, email, text message, and phone so we can stay in touch throughout your project.

Of course! You have a business to run, so I try to be flexible with my client's work schedules. I am more than willing to schedule meetings during off hours and Saturdays.

Accepted payment methods include check and ACH Bank transfer, and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).

I will setup and develop your website it on the platform of your choice. Because most website platforms include affordable website hosting and security, there is no longer a need for web developers to provide hosting, except in very rare complex situations.

Most website platforms the cost is anywhere from $15 to $40 per month. eCommerce website hosting starting at $40 per month. Many platforms have discounts for yearly plans. More advanced features require higher plans with extra costs.

When your completed website is ready to launch, I'll transfer your website to your platform account. If needed, you can add me as a collaborator to work on your website so that if you need me, I'll be there to help.

Yes, if you are a Covered Entity under HIPAA and BC Interactive Media will be considered a Business Associate as defined by 45 CFR 160.103 of the Code of Federal Regulations in order to perform the services required by your project.

HIPPA compliant websites that collect ePHI require special technical considerations, which may require more advanced development and website hosting solutions and may not fit within the packages above. My philosophy is less is more when building these websites. I will guide you through what will be required during your initial consultation, and help you every step of the way.
