Welcome
Hi! It’s nice to meet you virtually. Do you want to jumpstart your business, effectively leveraging technology as part of your strategy? Do you have an existing website that no longer drives results or does not reflect your brand? I would love to help you!
I love the challenge of helping businesses determine their identity and goals, translating them into digital marketing, websites, and processes that get measurable results. I can help you craft an online presence that reflects your brand, is visually compelling, facilitates customer interactions, and supports your online business goal(s).
I have spent my career in the technology industry, leading software and hardware product development teams and managing large programs. When I semi-retired, I missed having a toe in the business and technical worlds. The blend of business knowledge, creativity, organization, human factors, and technology that go into business coaching and website development is very satisfying to me. I welcome having more problems to solve and sites to build!
My Approach
1 - Measure of Success
2 - Users & Use Cases
3 - Your Brand
4 - Ongoing Operations
Your website is not something you create and then walk away. It's an integral part of your business, requiring care and feeding to keep it fresh and relevant. It's also important that your site integrates with other systems you may be using to create newsletters, book appointments, sell tickets, ship packages, etc.
Next Steps
Scope of Work
I will work with you to explore your business and website requirements, defining your website measure(s) of success, users, use cases, and brand. Based on this initial discovery, I will create a proposal and fixed-price estimate for the remaining work. If upfront business-coaching is required, we can integrate that into the overall scope of work.
I do not charge a monthly maintenance fee - I offer reasonably-priced site tune-ups and update content via my hourly rate. You'll save money over monthly-fee based offerings.
I will manage your site's development project, providing you with a list of deliverables necessary on your end. You can see your site during the development process so that you can try things out and provide input. As development moves forward, I will integrate your site with other operational systems, creating any branding elements necessary to pull everything together. Upon delivery, I will provide a documented list of selective how-tos, and we will meet to discuss ongoing site and operational management. Half the total project cost will be due up front and the remainder due upon site acceptance.
