Where do you want to go? If your business already has a brand, you&#8217;ll walk me through it, including brand guidelines like font &amp; colors. If not, you can pick from a few palettes I show you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-e3d1c41b wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left is-style-asterisk has-body-font-family has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">The website <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">After we&#8217;ve met, I&#8217;ll build a simple website. I recommend starting with about five pages: your homepage, Contact Us, About Us, Testimonials, and Services. Your consultation will determine the exact structure and content of your site, and you can always change this later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-e3d1c41b wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left is-style-asterisk has-body-font-family has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">SEO Verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">It can be tough to make sure your website shows up on Google and other search engines, and SEO consultation is expensive. I will help you leverage best practice configuration, using free tools like Google Lighthouse, to make sure you&#8217;re starting from a solid foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-d0bbbce0 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-e3d1c41b wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left is-style-asterisk has-body-font-family has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Maps &amp; contact information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">All websites come with a Google Maps embed of your business location and a contact form for lead generation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-e3d1c41b wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left is-style-asterisk has-body-font-family has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Once your site is finished, I will meet with 2-4 people of your choosing for a 2-hour handoff meeting. You&#8217;ll learn how to log in to your site, how to add or remove pages, and how billing works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-e3d1c41b wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left is-style-asterisk has-body-font-family has-medium-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Ongoing Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If I&#8217;m doing my job right, you really shouldn&#8217;t need much support. Because of this, all initial builds start with 16 hours of free on-demand tech support. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d89aad35 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-19e250f3 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6329a8f3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-asterisk\">What it costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I believe in pricing transparency!
