Things to keep in mind and have prepared are the following:

Is there a particular language you'd like to have this website be in (i.e. Flash, PHP?)
Do you have a few examples of other websites that you'd like your website/blog to be similar to? If so, what do you like and not like about these websites/blogs?
What functionalities are you wanting this site to have and not have?
When would you LIKE this project to be done?
When do you NEED to complete this project?
Do you have a strict budget you'd like us to work within?

A standard 5-page website includes design, coding and contact us form. $800. Content (images & text provided by you). $600 would be if you already have a template from Template Monster that you provide us with.

A standard Wordpress CSS Style (from your design file) would be $250
Please provide a PSD/JPEG/.AI file of your design for me to work from and I will create your blog to the provided specifications or as close to as possible within Wordpress' limitations.
A customized design (by me) for your Wordpress Blog would be an additional $150.

*We guarantee our work in Mozilla Firefox & IE7. Also what is important to have is a Domain Name & Hosting ready for us to work with and set your website up.

Contact us for pricing details and/or any questions you may have! We'd love to help you finish any small to large project that you have waiting around to complete. :)
I do screen my messages, so please do not send any other message that does not relate to the information provided on this page - I will mark it as spam.

1. Rebecca did a beautiful job on my web blog. The poor thing had a very hard task as I have done design for many years and I am picky. I left the entire concept up to her, guiding her very little. I told her basic things about me, and my style.
What she came up with was both classy and interesting. It captured my spirti perfectly. I couldn’t be more pleased. I can’t tell you how many compliments I have had on its design and layout.
Rebecca is very reliable. She does what she says in a timely manner. She keeps to her word.
I am planning to use her services further for some photography and some art projects that I have planned in the future.
Please feel free to use me as a reference at any time if you feel that you have questions regarding this talented young woman’s work.
Thank you Rebecca.

3. Rebecca creates excellent product. She is very knowledgeable and I love the fact that she adheres to coding standards. She is extremely professional in her work style, a great communicator, and completes the job on time and on budget. She takes the extra time to understand your goals and is very thoughtful and creative in her work. I have asked her to work on multiple projects for me and highly recommend her.

4. A quick glance at the site she redesigned for me will tell you that Rebecca and I are from utterly different planets in terms of taste, interests and background, but she had no trouble listening to what I wanted and putting it into action. Great work from a great professional.

5. Rebecca is highly professional. I was happy to be referred to her. She explained things well as I was quite overwhelmed at times. She was always eager to assist.
She was always available for questions. We had her help us design our header and her creative side is quite an asset. When asked her professional opinion like for example what fonts to use, she was very candid. Rebecca, I appreciate all the work you did on furbabies!

I recently had Rebecca help me again in migrating from Wordpress.com to our own domain. If I had a question and was only able to email at work, she wrote me back step by step on what to do. Her patience is very appreciated as she was explaining things to me. Rebecca is a very good teacher.

If anyone needs more details, please don't hesitate to ask me

6. I contacted Rebecca to help me create a custom blog for my photography company. As we worked together on the project, I enjoyed her timely responses, quick turn-around times, impressive understanding of all the HTML/CSS/server issues necessary to accomplish what I envisioned. She was the perfect person for the job and created a blog that gets just as much traffic as my main website, and just as many compliments.
