Website Services

Keep It Simple!

Websites can get complicated FAST, so I have created a streamlined process to keep my horticulture clients growing on time and on budget.

I keep it simple by adhering to these five rules:

  1. Plan, plan, plan! – After I send you a website review video that showcases three themes I think would work well for you, we will schedule a kickoff call where we spend an hour or so going over every detail of your website. Having an expert help you plan means you won’t get in over your head!
  2. No surprises – After we schedule the kickoff call, I immediately send you a “What to Expect” guide that will walk you through the language and every stage of the website build. No going in blind for you!
  3. You own it – We have you purchase hosting BEFORE we begin the build and build directly on YOUR host. You own everything we do as we do it!
  4. Keeping It Safe – During the Kickoff call we will set up a password manager for you and add all the logins we will need to the password manager. No scrambling to remember logins for you!
  5. Clean Handoff – When your site is ready to launch we begin creating your launch package that contains every piece of information you need to have someone manage your site. Want it to be us? Great! Need it to be someone else? No problem! Just send them the launch package and share logins using your password manager.

All of the websites I make include the following:

  • Kickoff call where we help you determine your sitemap and site structure (what to put where and why)
  • What to Expect Guide
  • Launch Package
  • Basic SEO writing
  • Your choice of colors
  • 30 days free maintenance (after launch)
  • HTML and XTML sitemaps
  • Connections to Google Analytics and Google Search Console
  • Content placement

Popular Choices (a.k.a. The Specials)

Simple, Beautiful Service Websites

“Who are you? What’s for sale? And… How Do I Get It?” are the three basic questions all websites need to answer. Do that well and the rest is cake!

This is the best choice for people that don’t need a shopping cart or check out but want to showcase who they are, what they do and provide people a way to contact them for help or more information. Common sites that fall under this category are blogging sites, garden design sites and garden speaker websites. Need help?

Clear, Elegant E-Commerce Websites

Determining your most desired response (MDR) and second desired response (SDR) will clarify what to put where!

This is the best choice for people that have products for sale, whether these products are physical or service based and want people to be able to click a button and pay right then and there. Common sites that fall under this category are online retail shops, membership programs and subscription services. Need help?

A La Carte Website Service Add-Ons

Quick question: How much do these things cost?

Quick answer: I have a pretty good handle on how much time it takes to do specific tasks. If you shoot me an email and tell me what you need I can give you a pretty accurate ballpark on the price.

The websites we build usually run between $3750.00 and $6,500. Most of the websites we work on fall into this category. (If you’d like more information about a website, sometimes it is easier to talk on the phone. Schedule a free 15 minute discovery call here.)

This might as well be Katie's life motto. When liv This might as well be Katie's life motto. When living with her parents during an extended period at the beginning of the pandemic she wrote out an SOP for cohabitating. That's how much she doesn't enjoy trying to read people's minds. ⁠
🍓⁠
"Asking" is not a four letter word, but many people have been raised to believe it is. ⁠
🍓⁠
What would be different in your business or your life if you asked for something instead of expecting it?⁠

It's almost June, which means in 5ish weeks, half It's almost June, which means in 5ish weeks, half the year is gone. (Hello, WHAT?)⁠
Instead of lots of "how to" tips this week, we're sharing quotes, sayings, and info that shaped our thinking so far in 2022. ⁠
🌱⁠
This entire quote is, "The truth has legs; it always stands. When everything else in the room has blown up or dissolved away, the only thing left standing will always be the truth. Since that’s where you’re gonna end up anyway, you might as well just start there.” ⁠
🌱⁠
If I (Katie) were to choose one quote to sum up the first part of the year, it's this one. Does it resonate with you? What would you do differently if you started from what you know to be true about your business our yourself? ⁠

⁠
That's not enough, though. ⁠
⁠
One of Katie's favorite quotes is "Survival is insufficient." It's from Star Trek Voyager S6E2, but is also famous for being the epigraph in Emily St. John Mandel, book "Station Eleven." The Traveling Symphony, the performing group the book centers around, adopts it as their motto in a post apocalyptic world. ⁠
⁠
Survival is insufficient. ⁠

Art, beauty, movement are necessary, too. 

We challenge readers and followers to think about how we can lift up ourselves and others in moving from surviving to thriving.

Perhaps you can write content all day, but when it comes to MailChimp, you're stuck. Maybe you have your website copy and pictures pulled together but don't know what to do next. Maybe your website is built, but you don't know which words to use.⁠

We can help! ⁠
