Custom Web Design

People squeal when they see the new website I designed for them. It’s adorable :) Let’s get you a shiny new website and a squeal, my dear!

Get a new website. Not a new headache.

You’ve been afraid of paying an expert to design your website because you think it’ll be crazy expensive. Or you’ll have to pay them to update every little thing. Or they’ll take you for a ride because you don’t know the technical stuff. I get it—and I’ve got you.

I could not have found a better web developer. Kristen was simply amazing! This was my first experience having a webpage created and Kristen made it a pleasant one. Everyone who has come across the site loves it!

Questions? Answers.

  • I work on Squarespace. I’ve had clients try WordPress, Shopify, WIX, GoDaddy, and Weebly and come to me in tears because they hate it and can’t do stuff with or make updates to their website.

    By contrast, Squarespace is a no-muss, no-fuss web design platform that enables my clients to easily update their website without knowing how to code. Squarespace requires zero technical updates. It just works. I use it myself and love it.

  • I build websites for small businesses and nonprofits! A full 98% of my clients are women entrepreneurs or woman led-and-focused nonprofits working in a variety of areas.

  • I’ve got you. We’ll talk through your needs, then I’ll connect you with my team of trusted, talented woman creatives. You’ll go through their process and they’ll send me your approved assets for use on your shiny new website.

  • I've got you! (It’s a theme.) If I buy your domain through Squarespace, it’ll be free for the first year. You can buy your domain from anywhere, though, and I can either transfer it to Squarespace to make things a lil more convenient for you or use it where it is. Totally up to you!

  • Nope. AI-generated content isn’t of quality. If you need help writing the wording for your website or if you need professional branding or photography, check out my short list of woman creatives.

  • Good search engine rankings depend heavily on the wording we use for your website. Work with a writer to get the best experience! Either way, I’ve got 20+ years of award-winning marketing experience, so SEO is second nature. Just Google “Buffalo web design” and see where I show up. I’ll do my best to make sure our friends at Google are happy.

  • All of my web design packages include on-demand video training and post-launch priority support.

    Think you’ll need lots of updates but don’t have time to make them? Ask about my content retainer. You pay a flat fee and get unlimited content updates—perfect if you’re posting lots of blog content, hosting ongoing events, or adding lots of new products or services to your online inventory. It renews every month so you can keep it or cancel it whenever you like.

  • No, but your investment will be broken up into three payments to keep your piggy bank in one piece.

  • It varies! A good rule of thumb? I work as fast as you do. Smooth projects for well-organized clients take about a month from start to finish.
