What you can expect from me as your web designer, and what not to expect
When it comes to getting a website done I know some businesses owners have no clue what is included and how the process works… So I am going to break down the things which always come as standard when working with me as your web designer and what doesn’t come with a standard web design package.
I know first hand things can go from feeling super straight forward and simple. To quickly becoming confusing and feeling like you have no clue what you need to do. Like trying to figure out what kind of content you need, and what to do about images. There are also things that you probably assumed would come with a standard package and then feel robbed in learning that it doesn’t. This is why I want to go through what you can and should except from a web design package and what doesn’t come as standard. Also what add on options are available should you want to use those too.
I LOVE to support my clients as much as possible when it comes to getting a website made. Having tried fixing computers and internet connections in the past and I can confidently say it not something I am best suited to help you with. But I will always try if it helps where you are. This is also no exaggeration and something I have helped a client with before. Hence why I know this definitely isn’t my bag!
But that said! When it comes to creating the website of your dreams. That is strategy based, infused with your branding and optimised that IS something I would LOVE to help you with!
What does come as standard when you hire me as your web designer?
Right lets go through all of the things that come as STANDARD when working with me…

I have been a web designer for well over 12 years now, and I have learned SO much along the way. This is why the list you see above is based on over 12 years of experience through running my own design agency. As well as working in some of the top businesses in the world whilst I was building my career. I worked with tech start ups, one of the biggest charities in the world and a top London design agency. Based on this I have so much experience and knowledge to pour into my business and more specifically my clients.
Everything on the list above has been refined. Built on experience and learning from all my clients. So I know what will help them and what will support them during the web design process. Having looked at what would make things as easy as possible for my clients. Such as my high converting content planner. Which is designed to draw rich content from my clients without feeling overwhelming, or procrastinating not knowing where to start.
What not to expect from me as standard as your web designer…
Okay so we have looked at what comes as standard within a web design package with me, but now I want to jump into what doesn’t come as standard within my web design packages. I find this is where most of the confusion lies understandably! So lets break it down together.
- Copy writing – This is why we have the highly content planner, to bring out the BEST content from you as a business owner, as you know your business best.
- Images – I can help and assist with images searches but you are responsible for your images
- Fixing your computer – (Yes someone has asked me this before)
- Fixing your internet problems – (You guessed it… This has been requested in the past)
- You annual website running costs – Domain, hosting, and any third party integration costs
Lets jump into some of this. As mentioned above I have been a designer for well over 12 years now. I have spent loads of time refining my process to make it as easy as possible for business owners who are looking for a website.
Lets talk content and why the best kind of content comes from the business owner
One of the most common things to come up if copywriting. This is something I don’t offer as a service but I do as much as I can to support my client in creating highly converting copy for their website. To support business owners with this I have crafted a highly converting website content planner for my clients to use. This is a bespoke planner to fit the client needs. Covering the pages and sections needed for their website, with step by step guidance. This removes the overwhelm and the guess work around creating website content.
The reason why I think its best for the client to write the content is because no one knows about there business and brand more than they do. And how they want to show up… This is why I have created the highly converting content planner, as you have the knowledge within you, you just keep a little guidance in getting that information out of your head in a way that will connect with your ideal clients.
Images and how they effect your branding
When it comes to images this is a service I can assist with should a client want me to help them with this. Images are a big part of your content and its the business owner who know exactly what they are envisioning for their website. However I know this can be tricky for some business owners and that is why I do offer image searching as an add on should clients require this service.
A note on brand images… One of the most valuable things you can do for your business is getting a brand shoot done. This doesn’t have to be a super flash professional one if their isn’t the budget for that. Even if you get a friend or family member to take some pictures of you that resemble your branding and what you want to represent as a business this will make a huge difference. Having that collection of images will help your website feel way more pulled together, cohesive, and professional.
