A wide variety of platforms available
Most sites are relatively simple technology-wise, and my aim is to work with you to build something I can easily show you, and train you to take over and maintain once I've set it up*.
To this end, I recommend you choose one of the many out of the box solutions such as Wix.com, Wordpress, or Squarespace as your website provider. Each of these sites and templates are mobile ready, and their integration serves most every need.
*But I am also available for ongoing website maintenance.
Sliding scale based on project type and size
You will pay for all website purchase related costs as those arise (custom domain, storage, and any of the following if we decide they are needed for your custom site: templates, plugins, custom email addresses, and so forth).
My labor comes either at a project based flatfee, or can be hired hourly, depending on what we agree befits your vision and budget.
A full website build labor flatfee typically depends on
-
The number of pages on your site
-
The complexity of your site’s functions (I am able to build anything from easy and straight forward sites to online stores, or password protected member only areas within your site, or searchable databases - depending on what your needs are. pay only for what you need!)
-
The level of branding involved (if you have a branded vision ready to go, I can build it out quicker!)
-
The level of editing or sourcing of collateral (will you need videos, pictures, or newsletter headers sourced or edited?)
50% of the labor fee is due up front when its a flatfeet project.

Who Builds? Dora!
My name is Dora and I have been building websites and optimized data for over 15 years - for work, and for fun. Most of my work experience has been in educational settings, nonprofits, and always involved a large degree of events (and data generated thereof). I have supported anything from small fundraisers to planned and hosted multi-day conferences for 450+ people. I enjoy solving problems and finding custom solutions to the issues at hand. I also enjoy spreadsheets... a lot. Because of my background, I always look for free and open-source solutions as well as paid ones, and make recommendations with your budget in mind. This goes for plugins, stock photos, and other additional services.
I enjoy audiobooks, podcasts, running, and generally geeking out to interesting things.
Large network of contractors
If parts of your project requires experience out of my immediate skill-set, or requires a team, I have a wide range of contacts who I collaborate with. For example: I don’t do copy-writing, but I work with others who do and can hire a subcontractor (though many of my clients to do their own copy-writing anyway, to make sure their vision translates to the fullest).
