Website design

Website created to serve

There are a sea of options when it comes to building a website and it begins with who will create it and how to build it. When you’re ready to grow beyond DIY or unclear who to rely on and how to clarify the message, Stargazer is a trusted partner to guide the way. We listen deeply to the vision for the business and how the website can serve the needs of the business and communicate its core message to call in your clients. We navigate the decisions to be made around tech platforms and guide the messaging process with you. Working with Stargazer will save you time and bring confidence your website is getting done in an aligned way with your vision.

How we create together

Regardless if it’s a new site or a refresh, the process is the same. Once we know the business, we build accordingly.

Discovery

Creating a website together is a collaborative, inside-out approach rather than a prescriptive one. It begins with discovery sessions to understand the business, goals, offering, challenges, and inspirations.

Design

Once the story and technology needs are defined, the platform is decided. The design process starts with a theme and is customized to best represent the business identity and optimal user experience.

Delivery

When the design is finalized, the site is optimized for search and tested across phone, tablet, laptop and desktop. The site is then launched on the pre-determined hosting provider and the domain is pointed.

What's included

Your website requirements may vary. Consider this a baseline:

  • One 90-minute discovery session to dive into understanding the business and offering

  • Technology platform setup (Squarespace, WordPress, Wix etc)*

  • Design and development of key pages (Home, About, Services and /or Products, Blog, Contact)*

  • Email sign up form & social media integration

  • SEO (meta-descriptions, alt text & image optimization)

  • Google Analytics for tracking

  • Domain pointing. If WordPress, hosting will be set up or site migrated to existing host.

  • 2 weeks of post-launch support for any technical issues

Scope and price varies based on business size and scale of the project.  Once we discuss your business and website needs, a proposal will be provided.

Client experience

“I knew from the first initial call with Dana that she was the right person to work with to redesign my website. She thoughtfully listened to my branding ideas and direction I wanted my website to go. She asked very in-depth questions to ensure she knew exactly what I wanted my website to look like and function.”

She is as detailed as I am and appreciated that throughout the process. The finished website was exactly as I envisioned and I could not be happier.” 

YVETTE SAMICK | TOO THE DOGS PHOTOGRAPHY

“If you have ever considered having someone design and implement your website, you should absolutely consider Stargazer. Dana knows her stuff, is highly intuitive, does her research on your brand and your style and implements accordingly. Dana has been the best addition to my community of collaborative professionals as she is adept in ALL areas of business. Her advice and encouragement outside of just the development of my website has been invaluable. I cannot imagine my entrepreneurial journey without her being a major part of it. Thank you, Universe, for Dana!”
