Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do I need to provide for Simply by Katie to build my website?
Great question! Your role in this process is to collect all the content that needs to be added to your website. This includes sending me your logo, brand colours, the photos you want to be used, and all the words and information I’ll require to truly customize your website.
The good news is I walk you through the process of collecting all these different pieces, and I’ve tried my best to keep it straightforward.
To make the most of your website, I highly recommend investing good copy, photos and branding - this is what is going to make your website shine.
Q: Are there additional costs outside of the Simply Website package?
Additional costs associated with your website include:
the cost of hosting your website with Squarespace
any fees associated with your email marketing and/or scheduling software.
Working with a copywriting, photographer or branding expert
Q: How do I make sure you’re the right designer for my website?
We (virtually) meet for a quick 20-minute chat where we have the chance to find out if my design style and services match your business needs. I truly want to help every small business owner I can, but sometimes we might not be a good fit, and that's ok!
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
I completely understand that investing in your website is, well, a huge investment. After your 30% deposit has been made, your next two payments are due at the beginning and end of our project.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
I’d suggest giving yourself at least one month to gather your content and a little longer if outsourcing your photography and copy. With that being said, I’ve also had clients whip up everything in a week or two!
Q: What happens after my website is finished?
On the last Friday of our design time, your final invoice will be due and your website will be transferred to you. You’ll also receive individualized training so you're able to confidently maintain and update your website.
Q: Why Squarespace?
I love Squarespace for real estate websites because it’s an easy-to-use, intuitive platform that is easily personalizable and meets the needs of many small business owners — including adding your email list freebie, connecting social media accounts and booking calls, all with the touch of a button.
