Websites for small businesses that shine
Handcrafting websites for women in business
I am passionate about helping women in business launch and succeed. With my strategy and seo focus I can design and build you a kick ass website that will start you off on the right foot.
Hey, I’m here to help you find the perfect website platform that suits your unique needs!
I work with a range of different platforms, and I promise to remain completely impartial when it comes to recommending the best one for you.
Now, don’t get me wrong – I started out with WordPress and I absolutely love it. It’s super flexible and can easily evolve as your business grows. However, I also recognise that it’s not necessarily the best choice for everyone.
If you’re just starting out, for example, you might benefit more from platforms like Squarespace or Square, which can be a better fit for your needs and budget. At the end of the day, my goal is to help you find the perfect platform for your business – no matter what that may be!
How we can work together
Hi I’m Elissa a music, coffee, beach loving Newcastle local and I love building websites. I am passionate about working with start ups and small business. I’ll guide you through the process and make sure you end up with a website that you absolutely adore, and that works wonders for your business.
I understand everyone is in different stages of their business journey. The best way to see if I can help you and be the best fit for your business is to have a quick chat either over the phone or via video call. This is completely free and no hard sales call, thats not my style!
Once we have a chat I can craft a proposal of what will suit your needs and how much that investment will be.
Squarespace Websites
Looking to launch a start-up or small business on a budget? Squarespace might just be the perfect fit for you!
Not only can Squarespace websites be customized to your unique brand personality, including custom fonts and design elements, they offer basic functionality that can be a great starting point for any new venture. And the best part? Editing information and images is a breeze with the user-friendly editor, making updates a snap for anyone to handle.
Plus, with Squarespace’s closed platform, you don’t need to worry about monthly maintenance like you would with WordPress. This means you can cut down on ongoing costs and avoid pesky security concerns like hacking or downtime. So if you’re looking for a reliable and cost-effective option, Squarespace could be just the ticket!
WordPress Websites
From start-ups to established businesses, WordPress offers the flexibility and scalability to accommodate growth at every stage.
One of the great things about WordPress is its open-source nature. This gives flexibility with hosting platforms and ability to increase your website’s speed and traffic resources as needed.
But as with anything that seems to good to be true, there’s a trade-off. WordPress is more costly to build out and it does require ongoing maintenance to ensure everything is running smoothly.
This maintenance requirement can result in higher monthly hosting and maintenance costs compared to closed platforms like Squarespace. But for businesses looking for the ultimate in flexibility and growth potential, WordPress is a no-brainer!
