As a small business owner life gets busy.
What if I told you, you could have your website in just 2 weeks?
Ok, ok, I admit you can totally keep on DIY’ing your website (I’ve been there), binging your way through all the blogs and Youtube videos you can get your hands on, all in-between snack refills, trips to the park and snuggles with your babies << they’re the reason this all started in the first place.
You’re at the point where you want a beautifully designed website, without all the hassle of being a designer yourself.
You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to get potential clients to see you as a professional and actually purchase from you.
This is where I can help!

I know a website is a BIG investment. An investment you don’t usually make in yourself.
But let me put it this way, is it worth waiting to build that new website you’ve been dreaming of, or can you afford to keep putting your website on the back burner?
Skip the headache of uploading and reloading your photos only for them to show up blurry, Googling another ‘how-to’ article, and figuring out Squarespace’s changing features.
Instead, hand over your content and have someone else build you a professional website so you don’t have to think about it for another minute.
You’ve already spent countless hours researching how to build a website - now it’s time to put your feet up. My process is easy as 1, 2, 3 … well 5 steps but I promise it’s worth it!

Q&A
Have some questions you need answered? I got you!
Q: Will my website really be completed in two weeks?
A: Oh yes it will! That’s the perk of working with Simply by Katie. Not only will you be guided through all the different pieces that make up your website, you’ll also be given ample time to complete homework prior to our design date — this ensures we stay right on track for our two-week timeline!
This timeline is adjusted when adding on additional services such as copywriting or branding.
After our initial call, I’ll provide a detailed proposal including pricing and timeline.
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 Web Design package?
The only additional costs associated with your website are the cost of hosting your website with Squarespace and any fees associated with your email marketing and/or scheduling software. Otherwise, everything you see listed is included up to 5 pages! Optional add-ons, such as copywriting and branding are at an additional cost.
Q: How do I make sure you’re the right designer for my website?
We (virtually) meet for a 30-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. Payments can also be spread out over 3 or 6 months.
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 small businesses (mine included!) 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.
With the Simply Website you can (finally) have your website done in as soon as two weeks so go ahead and let that long exhale out
Don’t let yourself stay in the cycle of your keyboard clicking late into the night while the rest of the house rests.
It’s time for your website to do the heavy lifting in your business because you deserve to treat yourself, and you honestly can’t remember the last time you did anything for yourself.
You’re on a mission, and are ready to make your website a priority.
