Michigan web design

No. Most people don’t. You don’t need copy written, photos gathered, or a full plan. Part of my job is helping you figure out what your website actually needs and pulling the right information out of your head in a structured way. I’ll guide you step by step so you’re never staring at a blank page wondering what to do next.

Most projects take about 6 - 8 weeks once we start. The timeline mostly depends on how quickly we can review and finalize each step together, but I keep the process organized so it keeps moving and never drags on for months.

Nope, I do that. I guide you through questions that pull out what needs to be said and then shape it into clear website messaging. You won’t be handed a blank document and told to “just write your website.”

That’s very common. We can start with strong temporary imagery so your project doesn’t stall, and I’ll help you plan what photos will be most useful long term. Many clients add professional photos after launch without any issues.

That’s a very reasonable question, and most people I work with have thought about a new website for a long time before reaching out. A website redesign is rarely about “wanting something nicer.” It usually happens when the current site no longer represents the business, creates confusion for potential clients, or requires you to explain things every time someone visits it. The real decision isn’t just the cost of rebuilding, it’s whether your current website is quietly costing you opportunities, confidence, or time. My goal in our first conversation is to help you figure out what you actually need before recommending anything. If a full rebuild won’t meaningfully improve things, I’ll tell you. But if it will remove a constant friction point in your business, most clients quickly realize why they waited so long to address it. You’ll always know the scope and pricing before making any decision.

I don’t disappear. You’ll have support options available if you want ongoing help, but you’re not required to sign up for maintenance. The site is yours, and you’ll feel comfortable using it.

A new website makes it possible for people to find you, but it isn’t the same thing as advertising. Your site will be set up so search engines can understand it, index it, and show it when someone is looking for what you offer locally. That gives you a solid foundation. What a website primarily does is make sure that when someone does land on it - from Google, referrals, social media, or word of mouth - they quickly understand what you do and feel comfortable reaching out. If you ever want to actively grow search traffic later, we can talk about ongoing SEO. But the first step is having a site that clearly represents your business and supports the people already trying to learn about you.

Yes - but you won’t be expected to manage the whole site on your own. Most clients prefer that I keep their website updated, monitored, and on track so they don’t have to think about it. You’ll always have that option. If you want to swap photos, update small pieces of text, or make simple announcements yourself, I’ll show you exactly how to do that after launch. The goal is for you to feel comfortable using your website without feeling responsible for maintaining a system you didn’t build. You get support when you want it, and independence when you need it.
