I lay the groundwork with keyword research, craft meta descriptions, optimise images, ensure Google knows what the images are, build a text hierarchy and nail those SEO-friendly title tags.

Absolutely, add-ons are perfect for when you’re ready to expand. Easy upgrades to add as your business grows and changes!

It will depend on the complexity of the add on that you need. An example would be adding in a restaurant booking system with timings and automatons - this would take one whole day. I run my business in a client first way, so when you book me. I work on your business, I don't bounce around projects. It gets your needs delivered quickly and keeps my workload smooth in turn.

Before starting a website build with Rachael Does Design. I will walk you through everything that I need for a smooth build.

Typical needs are; - Copy - Brand Images - A clear layout of your services and what you offer - Branding Before we get cracking we will go through the pages that you need for your site and I will always ensure that you have copy prompts and a how to guide to get you on your way.

Website design is a collaborative process but your main involvement for website design is pre-build, ensuring that I have everything that I need to before the build. During the build, all I need from you is a nod of approval and your help to refine the design towards the end.

In 2024, the answer is a big YES. Here’s why:

• Visibility & Credibility: First impressions matter, and your website is where your clients go when they search you on Google. People ARE Googling you, whether that freaks you out or not🤣 - make sure they find a site that shows the service you deliver and why you should be the one they chose over your competition.

• Messaging and Ownership: Social media is great, but you don’t own those platforms. If Facebook goes pop tomorrow - where will your clients find you? A website lets you tell your story, your way, without worrying about algorithms or disappearing posts.

• 24/7 Access: Your website never clocks out. It’s there to answer questions, showcase your work, and convert visitors into customers while you sleep. We are living in an era of instant gratification and busy busy lives - people don't want to wait until 9am when you open to call you, they are already half way through their day then. They want to pop you a message at 10pm that you will receive when you open up shop.

• SEO & Being Found: Without a website, you’re practically invisible on Google. A solid site with good SEO helps you get discovered by the right people.

• Trust & Professionalism: Customers expect it. A business without a website seems outdated and less trustworthy. Show up and show off what makes you great. Maybe a side hustle at best but not a fully fledged wage paying career.

• Lead Generation: Your website is a lead-generating machine when set up correctly - capture emails, book calls, and make sales directly without much effort once it's all up and running.

It depends on what you need! E-commerce, extra pages, or booking systems will add to the timeline and investment, but we’ll discuss everything upfront - no surprise costs here.
