Here are the questions that I get asked most as well as the corresponding answers. I get inquiries every day asking how to partner with me, what I do and how it all works. The majority of the answers are pretty simple and to the point.
Most likely these are the questions you too are wondering about and want to know before you contact me about your project.

This experience translates into guiding you with best practices during and after the site creation process. I will guide you with checklists, screen-shares and instruction along the way so that you know what you need to consider and prioritize.

What does a new WordPress site cost?
As part of my new focus to offer the best WordPress support possible to those with established WordPress websites, I no longer entertain new website projects. The exception being for established clientele.
WordPress Redesigns
When it comes to getting a new WordPress look, prices vary as each website is literally a unique eco-system in of itself. Once we chat and I get login credentials, I can poke around your current WordPress site and get an idea of what will be involved.
Here is the basic process:
- Tell me about your project.
- I send you my Modus Operandi.
- You schedule a project discovery call.
Are Deposits Required?
A $500 deposit is required in advance for all ReDesigns. Submission of your deposit reserves a spot in my schedule and starts the on-boarding process.
New “consulting only” clients can purchase the time desired through my scheduling app, where I will earmark time for you in my schedule for our first consult. Once you are in my system, any additional time or work that is commissioned will be invoiced on the 1st of the month.
I offer superior personalized support to each of my clients therefore it is critical for time-management purposes and customer service levels that I be able to identify those potential clients who have committed to their project as well as our partnership.

I also offer White Glove WordPress Support subscriptions which include WordPress Updating, Uptime Monitoring, Cloud Backups, Performance, Security, Maintenance and SEO Reporting — and coaching.

You will be invoiced on the first of each month for any work completed in the previous month.
