how this works
website design
how this works
First please fill out the contact form with as much detail as possible to your current website situation. If you have never had a website just tell me about your business.
​
I will contact you once I do some basic web research. We will discuss any problems you've had any feedback from customers, what you'd like to see, etc.
​
In order to get started you will need to remit a non-refundable deposit that is applied to the finished website design fee at launch time.
​
What I provide is a one time website design service. Meaning you will be in full control of your website once it's published. You do not need advanced computer skills to make changes to your website. I will teach you basic editing techniques to edit text and photos. You may opt to keep my as a backup admin depending on your needs or contact me for website help on an (as needed) only basis for maintenance, repair, page updates, new pages or website needs to be refreshed.
​
What you can expect with your website is fully functional internal and external links, your social media pages will be connected, customers can connect with you by call to action buttons such as business specific contact forms that go directly to your email inbox, call now buttons that instantly call when pressed from a smart phone and most importantly you will be found online.

why chrisalis?
Whether your business needs a website redesign, a website build from scratch, error repairs to your current website or the need for ongoing maintenance you have come to the right place.
​
I build your website using CMS managed web hosting builder sites like Weebly, Wix, Wordpress or Squarespace. These platforms are suited for business owners that would like to learn to maintain their website on there own after it is built. Using any one of these systems will be beneficial knowing you don't need to know code. That is my job.
I have found that many business owners want to be in control of their own website. Many companies build your website using technology you have never heard of and make it impossible to leave their services without a high cost and even losing the website you made a huge investment on. Others are arguing with customer service to get changes made to the website without success. These situations are very frustrating especially when you just want to change your hours on your home page. I've heard it all from my clients and many stories are completely outrageous!
This is why I started my business. I grew up in a small family business and have worked my entire life for many different small business companies. I'm honest, trustworthy, dependable and protective by nature. I know what small business goes through first hand. You can count on me to make the changes you need instantly. I am readily available so count on seeing me many times in the building process. I love learning new industries, i love seeing the unique qualities of all my clients business's and your information is always confidential. This is my niche and my passion. Your business, your brand at it's finest.
​
The difference between a template website and a theme website can be seen in the final design. Template sites come prepackaged and have limited design ability often with no html or css coding ability. Themed sites start with responsive design code that is fully customizable and the pages are blank.
​
One huge advantage of using these web building platforms is most come with built in SEO. Search Engine Optimization is completed manually before your website is published. Built in statistics allow you to view your website visits. You will be able to log in at anytime and see your web traffic numbers. A highly advanced measurement tool is called Google Analytics - an optional set-up service is available when investing in website design.
