Which platform should I choose — Squarespace, WordPress, or Shopify?

It depends on your business goals. Squarespace is ideal for service-based businesses and creatives who want an elegant, low-maintenance site. WordPress offers the most flexibility and scalability, perfect if you need custom functionality or advanced SEO. Shopify is built for e-commerce and product-based brands. During our discovery phase, we help you choose the platform that fits your needs and technical comfort level.

How much does a website cost?

Most of our custom website projects range between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on the platform, page count, integrations, and content requirements. Squarespace builds are usually quicker and more affordable, while Shopify or WordPress projects can vary more based on complexity. If you’re unsure what fits your budget, we’ll guide you through options in our discovery call.

Do I need to know how to code to update my website?

Not at all. Whether your site is on Squarespace, WordPress, or Shopify, we make sure it’s easy for you to manage. We’ll walk you through how to update your text, images, and products without touching code. For clients who prefer a hands-off approach, we also offer ongoing maintenance and support packages.

Will my website include SEO setup?

Yes — all our websites are built with SEO in mind. That includes page titles, meta descriptions, optimized images, and clean URL structures. We also offer add-on SEO services like keyword research, blog setup, and Google Search Console configuration to help you start ranking faster.

What’s the process like from start to finish?

1. Discovery Call: We learn about your brand, goals, and target audience. 2. Proposal & Booking: You choose your package, sign the agreement, and make the initial payment. 3. Design & Build: We design your site layout and bring it to life with your content and imagery. 4. Feedback & Revisions: You’ll have review rounds to make refinements. 5. Launch & Training: Once approved, we handle launch and give you a walkthrough so you can manage your site confidently.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Absolutely. Whether it’s a WordPress site that feels outdated, a Squarespace site that needs a refresh, or a Shopify store that’s not converting, we can redesign your website while keeping your content and improving your layout, visuals, and SEO structure.

What if I don’t have branding or photos yet?

No worries — we can design your site using temporary placeholders and update it later once your assets are ready. We also offer brand design and photography add-ons or can connect you with trusted brand photographers and copywriters to round out your visuals and messaging.

Do you offer templates?

Not yet! We’re creating customizable website templates for Squarespace, WordPress, and Shopify — designed for small business owners who want a professional, launch-ready website without the full custom cost. Templates will be available soon through our shop.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we typically split payments into two or three parts — one to start, one during design, and one at launch. We also offer extended plans for template purchases or add-ons, making it easy to get started without a large upfront investment.

What makes working with a professional website designer worth it?

A professional designer brings strategy, structure, and user experience expertise that go beyond just visuals. We focus on how your audience uses your website — what they see first, how they navigate, and what makes them convert. The result is a website that not only looks great but actually grows your business.

Coaching With Kathy

WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN FOR LIFE COACH

CLIENT: Kathy, Mindset & Life Coach
INDUSTRY: Life Coaching & Mindset Work 
PLATFORM: Custom WordPress 
SCOPE: Brand refresh, custom logo, website design, newsletter integration, marketing automations LOCATION: Seattle, WA 
WEBSITE: coachingwithkathy.life

Kathy is a Seattle-based mindset and life coach helping women navigate major life transitions — career shifts, identity changes, and the in-between moments most people don't talk about openly. Her coaching practice is built on warmth, steady presence, and a kind of energy that genuinely lights up a room.

When Kathy came to us, her existing website didn't quite match the coach she'd become. Her offers had refined, her audience had narrowed, and the way she showed up for clients had deepened — but the site hadn't kept up. She needed a digital home that felt as warm and welcoming as one of her actual sessions, with a clear path that could move a curious visitor toward becoming a booked client.

We designed this custom WordPress website around one principle: let Kathy's energy lead, then guide with structure.

Key features of this project include:

A streamlined services architecture that simplified her offerings into one clear client journey
A dedicated resource page positioning Kathy as a trusted guide for women in transition
An updated brand identity — refreshed logo, warmer color palette, and visual system designed to match her personality
Newsletter integration with supporting automations to nurture leads from first visit to first call
A layout designed to guide visitors with warmth, not overwhelm
Energetic photography and copy that lets Kathy's voice come through on every page

THE OUTCOME

✦ A website that finally reflects the warmth Kathy brings to every coaching session
✦ A clear, simplified path from curious visitor to booked client
✦ A digital home Kathy is genuinely proud to send to potential clients — and a brand identity that grows with her practice

If you're a coach, therapist, or service provider whose website no longer matches the work you do, this is exactly the kind of project we love.
