Deliverables

Website Design & Build: A custom, mobile-responsive website built on either

Wix or Studio Wix, depending on the complexity of your design needs. Both

platforms offer user-friendly interfaces and robust functionality. I will integrate the

content (text and images) that you provide for each page and set up any forms.

If you anticipate needing a shop/checkout in the future, we can incorporate the

necessary framework now, making future integration seamless.
Application of your brand's color palette, typography, and key design elements within Wix/Studio Wix.
Inclusion of your provided text and images for the homepage.
Basic optimization for viewing on different screen sizes within the platform's capabilities
Implementation of basic SEO elements such as page titles, meta descriptions, and initial keyword suggestions through the Wix SEO Wizard.

Process

We'll kick things off with a call to deeply understand your website goals, target audience, and review any existing branding you have. If you don't have a specific homepage mockup, we'll collaboratively discuss your vision, desired content flow, and key elements to ensure we're on the same page for the build. Please be prepared to share any inspirational websites or ideas you have.
With a clear understanding of your needs, we'll dive into building your homepage directly on Wix or Studio Wix. This involves structuring the layout, applying your brand's visual elements (colors, fonts, logo), and integrating the text and images you've provided into the page.
Once the initial build is in place, we'll take a pause for you to have a first look at your new homepage. This is your opportunity to provide initial feedback on the layout, content placement, and overall feel.
Based on your feedback, we'll make necessary refinements to the design and content. We'll also run through the basic Wix SEO Wizard to implement initial on-page optimization, including setting page titles, meta descriptions, and incorporating relevant keywords you provide.
We'll take one final look together to ensure everything aligns with your vision. We'll also discuss next steps, such as adding more pages, exploring further features on Wix/Studio Wix, and your ongoing website management.

Prerequisites

Existing Branding (Logo, Colors, Typography): If you haven't worked with us on branding, you'll need to provide your key brand assets.
Homepage Content Ready: All text and images for the homepage need to be provided in advance.
Homepage Mockup (Preferred): While we can work with your existing branding to create a simple layout, having a pre-designed homepage mockup will ensure a more efficient build day.
Wix/Studio Wix Account: You will need to have or be willing to set up a Wix or Wix Studio account.

FAQ'S

Wix and Wix Studio are powerful and user-friendly platforms that allow for the creation of stunning and functional websites. I specialize in these platforms because they offer a balance of design flexibility, robust features, and ease of management for you, the client, after the website is launched.

Wix: The classic Wix platform offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, making it incredibly accessible for users of all technical abilities. It's perfect for a wide range of websites, from small businesses to portfolios, offering a vast app store for added functionality.

Wix Studio: Built upon the Wix infrastructure, Wix Studio is a more advanced platform designed specifically for agencies and experienced designers. It provides greater design control, advanced layout tools (like CSS Grid and Flexbox), custom code capabilities, and collaborative features, allowing for highly tailored and complex website builds.

The choice between Wix and Wix Studio will depend on the complexity of your design needs and your comfort level with website management. We can discuss the best platform for your project during our initial consultation.
It's important to understand that while our Design Day package covers the design and initial build of your website, there are separate costs associated with keeping your website live and accessible online. These are typically paid directly to the platform provider:

Wix Hosting Plans: Wix offers various hosting plans with different features and pricing structures. These plans cover the cost of hosting your website files on their servers, ensuring it's accessible to visitors. You can explore Wix's hosting plans and pricing here: [Insert Link to Wix Hosting Plans]

Wix Studio Plans: Similarly, Wix Studio has its own set of plans tailored for professionals, which include hosting and additional features. You can find more information on Wix Studio's plans here: [Insert Link to Wix Studio Plans]

These hosting costs are ongoing and are separate from the one-time fees for our Design Day services. We can discuss the best plan for your needs during our consultation.

Having your homepage text and images prepared is crucial for a productive Design Day. Delays in content can impact what we can achieve within the timeframe. We'll discuss content requirements in detail beforehand.
