Engaging & Functional
Website Design & Development
Having an online presence is one of the most important marketing tools. It acts as a virtual storefront to showcase your products or services and provides a centralised platform for customers to access information and engage with the brand.
Because every business is unique, I tailor a custom proposal for each project, ensuring you receive a package that fits your business and budget. That way, you get what you need and none you don’t. Below are examples of what typically might be included in a package.

Website design process
I’ve developed a design process that can be tailored to suit any business. We explore your brand goals, values, and unique qualities, then craft your brand identity by selecting typography, imagery and colours that resonate with your ideal audience.
Step 1 – Initial consultation
After I receive your project enquiry form, we’ll schedule a time to discuss your business goals and objectives. If we both feel we're a good fit, I'll put together a proposal for the project.
Step 2 – Proposal and booking
I’ll put together a proposal and let you know my availability. Once you're happy with the proposal, I'll send you an invoice for 50% of the project total, this will secure your booking. Once I receive the invoice payment, I will confirm the project start date and send you the brand discovery questionnaire to complete.
Any text copy and images you want included in your project should be ready before your project start date. This includes copy for websites, brochures etc.
Step 2 – Discovery and research
I’ll send you the brand discovery questionnaire to identify your brand purpose, values, target audience, and unique qualities. Discovering what will set you apart from your competitors. Using the answers from the questionnaire, I'll create two inspiration mood boards, which will help ensure we're both on the same page with the overall look, typography, imagery and colours.
Any text copy and images you want included in your project should be ready before the project start date. This includes text copy and images for websites, brochures, etc.
Step 3 – Design and development
Now comes the fun part! Design concepts are created based on the discovery phase. Your concepts will be emailed to you, and then we'll schedule a time to review your feedback and make refinements. to the designs.
Your website will be built using Rocketspark's website builder. You will have the opportunity to review it and give feedback before it goes live.
Step 5 – Delivery and launch
After you approve the designs, I'll create the brand guidelines, which is an in-depth guide on how to use your brand consistently. Then, I'll package the finished artwork.
The website will be made live, and you’ll be ready for launch.
I'll be available for any questions or support you need after you receive your artwork and the website is made live, and I can help with any additional brand collateral you may need.
Frequently asked questions
How do I book?
Start by filling in the Project Enquiry Form. Share a bit about your business and what you’re looking for, and I’ll be in touch within 1–2 business days to schedule a discovery call. It’s the perfect opportunity for us to discuss your project and see if we’re a good fit.
When can we start?
Projects are typically booked 3–4 weeks in advance, and I accept a limited number each month to ensure every client receives my full attention. If you’re ready to go, submit your enquiry and I’ll confirm availability and next steps.
What do I need ready by the start date?
Before we begin, you’ll need to complete a discovery questionnaire. It’s a simple form that helps me understand your business goals, audience, and style preferences. For website projects, you’ll also need to provide your copy and imagery (or let me know if you'd like recommendations for professionals who can help).

I don’t offer logo-only packages. Your logo is just one part of your overall brand identity. I take a holistic approach, combining strategy, typography, colour, and design elements to create a cohesive, purposeful brand that grows with your business.
