Lets Make a Website
Getting Started
I'll start by getting to know you and what kind of website you are wanting to create. I'll ask you questions like:
- What kind of websites do you like?
- What colors and patterns do you like?
- Do you have a logo? If not, are we going to create one?
In addition to: - Is there a domain already created for your website? And if you have a hosting provider?
If you need help creating any of these things, we can work together to get that set up.
Creating your Website & Domain Names
If you're not already, we will get you set up on a hosting platform and collect or create your domain names. Then, gathered from the information provided by you, we will then start creating some possible design ideas for you to review. This is when you can make changes you might want to make or add anything we may have missed the first time around. Using your guidelines as a template, I will finish the website and present a final product to you.
Last Steps
After any changes have been made and your website is up to your standards, we will gather your domain names and get those registered through BlueHost. I'll make sure your website is secure and ready to be published to the internet.
You'll be able to reach out in the future if you want to make any changes or add anything special.
What I've Been working on
Senior Nation
Although Gordon had much of the website already completed, he allowed me to jump in and help create a couple pages like the services page and the vendors page.
Working with Gordon, we worked with Jerusha to figure out how to incorporate all she does with the John Scott Realty group when it comes to the Senior Nation. Jerusha provided us with the needed material such as photos, biographies of other Senior Nation Team members, testimonials and much more to help us create the website you see here. Gordon completed all but a few pages for the Senior Nation Team, he then hired me on for the final touches.
See what Jerusha had to say about her website!
"Stephanie worked on my whole website but focused on the design of my Services page. I really liked her initial design, but other members of my group wanted to see some other versions. After a lot of extra work, we finally chose Stephanie’s original design as the best."
- Jerusha Malaer
Intersquare
I was able to play around with the Intersquare home page for Gordon. He gave me the task to incorporate technology and high end design. I enjoyed taking what he already had and adding some fun updates. For example; I took the quote from his original website and incorporated a photo, I felt this brings more meaning to the quote on the page adding to the character of Interesquare as a company.
Working with Intersquare.
"Stephanie started with us as an entry level website designer. We quickly discovered that she is very creative and learns very fast. We use special tools to enable us to create responsive websites very quickly for our clients and Stephanie learned this within the first week she was here. By the second week she was actively working with customers, gathering information, and implementing website pages. She is an excellent HTML/CSS coder with good UI instincts. By the end of the second month, she was installing clients on hosting services, helping create their websites, and getting them published. Many of our customers use WIX for their websites but are over whelmed and ask us to take over to finish. Stephanie very quickly picked up WIX, and now handles most of these clients."
- Gordon Collett, Intersquare.
Eldridge Legal Nurse Consulting
Susan wanted something simple but striking. Gordon and I collaborated on some appealing colors and worked with Susan’s already prepared Logo, to create a sense of cohesion. Like all clients, we received a handful of information in the client's words to help the users looking for a nurse consultant, find exactly what they need.
Analyzing the website, Gordon and I also connect certain Search Engine Optimization practices to enhance the chances of finding Susan's website first!

"Stephanie worked on several pages of my new website, and I was very happy with them. She took the limited information I gave her and turned it into some very creative work."

Tumalo Doodles
For this project I was able to collaborate with Liza Peters, a Tumalo local who’s dog recently had a litter of Aussie-Doodle puppies she wanted to sell! We took what she had originally and added a little bit more customization with fun color changes and image sliders. We took a lot of time customizing code for the sliders to fit with the desired look of the website. We also discussed some good ways to get her website marketed to the right crowd!

"Working with Stephanie was an absolute joy! She took my vague vision, cleaned it up and brought it to life so quickly! I love what she came up with and will absolutely work with her again."
- Elizabeth Peters
PRO METAL BUILDINGS
Working with Pro Metal Buildings was a dream! We took their existing website and made some modern updates. We also used exclusively WIX Website builder to build this out. Kim and Danae wanted a website that would be easy to navigate while also catching the eye of our clients. By first understanding what websites stood out to the ladies running the show, I was able to provide them with a fun new website.

Connect with Me!
Call or Email me to connect! I would love to discuss with you any questions you may have about your website! I will be sure to make sure you understand all of your options when it comes to domain names, hosting services, what you might have already, what you might need me to create, what kind of website you need and estimated cost for the project as soon as we chat.
Prices vary depending on what you need. A Wix site that just needs minor help won’t cost the same as starting a website from scratch!
Moving forward, I usually ask for 50% upfront of the estimated cost and the remaining when the project is completed to your satisfaction. I will ask for a credit card to pay for your hosting server and domain name(s) and any photos we mutually agree to purchase. All will be run by and approved by you before moving on. You will be responsible for the ongoing monthly or yearly costs associated with your server and domain name(s). Again, don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.
