The “1-Week” part of 1-Week Websites is in reference to the week I build your site, show you how to use, and hand it off to you. This doesn’t account for the prep work involved on your end.

Exploration phase

During our initial call, we’ll explore what your needs are, whether a 1-Week Website is a good fit, and if you have a need for any add-on services.

Onboarding phase

If we decide to work together, you’ll schedule a few important Zoom calls, sign an agreement, and pay your deposit. Once you do, we’ll get to work.

Compilation phase

Once you’ve paid your deposit, you’ll receive a content planner that guides you through the process. Your part of the process typically spans three weeks.

Build-out & hand-off phase

On the fourth week, I’ll build your site, walk you through it, and hand it off.

You’ll receive a few tutorials that will show you how to make basic updates and changes to your site, e.g. duplicating blog posts and sales pages, reusing sections, etc.

Support phase

You will also receive limited email support* for 30 days.

*Note that this support is for troubleshooting issues and not for making substantive changes to your site. Should you want substantive changes, that would require a separate investment.

First, know that we’re going to chat about branding during our initial call - before you sign your agreement or put down a deposit - so that (1) there won’t be any surprises, and (2) we can schedule your project accordingly.

You will also receive a welcome guide that walks you through your project’s branding needs.

If this all feels overwhelming, keep in mind that you I offer these services as add-ons. And with that…

Your branding guide

Professional branding is important! It reflects your professionalism and vibe, and if it looks DIY or sloppy or non-cohesive, it’s going to repel potential clients (and hurt my reputation as your designer!).

And so, all clients are expected to provide a branding guide created by a design professional.*

Your branding guide will include your branding colors, logo and logo variations, and fonts (heading, paragraph, etc.).

*Note that Fiverr, your teen daughter, and free Canva templates do not qualify as reputable professionals.

Also note that while I’m not a brand stylist, I’m good enough at the basics (typography, color, and plain text logos) to be able to offer a super basic brand guide at a low cost to you, should you need a budget-friendly branding option. But seriously - a pro is best!

Images

You’ll also need to provide me with professionally shot and edited images and/or on-brand stock photos.

I’ll provide you with a guide for planning your photoshoot (if you have one scheduled). I’ll also provide you with a few pointers for selecting on-brand stock photos.

And as mentioned, I offer on-brand stock photo curation as an add-on, should you need it.

In short, no. I’m not a copywriter, and I don’t know your business inside out like you do.

That being said, I’m not going to throw you to the wolves.

The Content Planner you’ll receive will walk you through the exact copy I’ll need from you to make your site look like the demo (but better). I’ll also offer you an AI resource that you can use to help you generate copy (100% optional!), as well as a guide to my own approach for simplifying messaging and copywriting.

A lot of people struggle with messaging and writing copy, but the resources I’m providing should help tremendously.

Finally, if you are so inclined, you could outsource it to a professional copywriter.

I stagger my workload so that I’m never working on more than two One Week Websites at any given time.

As such, deadlines are very important to keep.

Your agreement explains what happens if you miss a deadline, so please read it carefully before signing.

Also, before we book your project, we’ll discuss expectations and timelines so there won’t be any surprises.

I limit the availability of each 1-Week Website template to 10. This means that up to nine other people worldwide could have a website that’s based off the same template as yours.

Compare that to a DIY template that may have been purchased by 5,000 people (or more). Your odds are pretty freaking good that your website will be one-of-a-kind to 99.99% of the people who encounter it.

If these odds aren’t good enough, you can book time with me for an additional fee to customize your site. Or if you have the budget for a truly one-of-a-kind custom site, submit an inquiry and we’ll discuss your project. Just know that a fully custom site with comprehensive page options generally runs five figures plus change.

Yes. Please submit an inquiry so that we can discuss your project.

If you need a page (or section, etc.) that’s not included in the 1-Week Website, you have a few options.

You can:

1. Duplicate an existing page and adapt it as needed,

2. Request the additional pages or sections as an add-on,

3. Purchase the add-on pages bundle (if it exists for your template), or

4. Book time with me to create the pages or sections you need.

At this time, branding and other add-ons are not available as an individual purchase. However, I do plan to offer some add-ons as stand-alone purchases in the near future. Please submit a general inquiry if you’re interested in such a service. Thanks!
