Websites, social media, email programs, text marketing, and other digital projects can be overwhelming for small business owners. I can use my experience with big businesses to complete your digital projects.

No. In fact, I have talked a few potential clients out of creating a website for their business. Sometimes a Facebook business page or business Instagram account is all that a small business needs. Or a shop on a reselling platform.
Here are a few benefits:
A website allows businesses to share content (product info, services, images, videos, blogs, etc) in one place that their clients/customers/followers need to know when making a buying decision.
The insights from website traffic sources and other metrics can be very helpful for small business owners when making business decisions.
A website acts as the hub for all social media, direct marketing, and advertising activities. All roads of communication with your clients/customers/followers lead back to the website.
Lastly, a professional website gives your business credibility and instills confidence with your clients, followers, and customers.
Yes and no. I know Squarespace advertises that their platform is something anyone can use. However, I think there are many nuances that take some technical skills to navigate. I can help!
I think Squarespace is the easiest platform for small business owners to update. I also like the easy integration with other products; like appointment scheduling, payment platforms, and email marketing. I also like the ability to review website traffic sources and other metrics.
That is difficult to answer without knowing more about the website. Pricing varies based on the complexity. However, I have a basic five-page website special that gives you an idea of what to expect.
In one word: content. All of the information on a new website is provided by the business owner. Every word, image, logo, video, etc needs to be provided to me by you. That can be intimidating, but I can help. I can provide the name of talented graphic artists, photographers, and/or copywriters to help you create messaging and visuals for your website. If there is a brochure or other marketing materials already created, then I can reuse the images and copy on the website.
That is up to you and your business needs. We can discuss your requirements before building a website. I include training as part of my pricing. If you require any help after the website is launched, I can provide maintenance services for an additional cost.
Hosting the website with a service like Squarespace is $200+/yr depending on the package. There will also be an annual fee to license the URL/domain name (like jenlovaas.com) which starts at $20/yr.
The time needed to build a website depends on the complexity. I can build a basic site in a couple of weeks IF I have all of the content from the business owners.
Just send me an email at jen@jenlovaas.com and I’ll start asking you some questions about your business. I’ll provide some initial pricing as soon as possible. If you have a requirement that does not match my skill set, I will refer you to the right company.
