Custom Websites

This answer also depends on a variety of factors. Typically, it takes 8-12 weeks to deliver a website from discovery to launch. 

It can take longer depending on a few factors: the size and complexity of your project, whether or not your project also includes branding, your responsiveness in feedback, and your content preparation.

If you're not comfortable or confident about creating the content, then we can bring a copywriter into the process to help keep things moving forward consistently. This would be an additional expense if not included in the original proposal.

Not exactly—but we’ll help you find the words. At Rise Shine Creative, we believe your voice matters, and we’ve got thoughtful tools and prompts to help you write content that sounds like you. Most of our clients start the writing themselves, and then I step in to refine, organize, and make sure it resonates with your audience. If writing feels overwhelming, we also collaborate with trusted copywriters and editors who can support you more deeply.

Yes! Whether you’re looking for a quick, polished icon or a full deep-dive into your brand identity, I’ve got you. If you want hands-on support to clarify your voice, values, and visuals, we can collaborate through my full branding process. If you just need something simple and solid to get started, my Guided DIY option helps you create a logo with my expert guidance—at your pace, and within your budget.

Absolutely, yes! This is critical in the age of mobile technology. More searches are done on mobile devices than on desktop computers and Google gives a higher ranking to websites that are mobile-friendly.

All of the sites I build are mobile-responsive, meaning that the design scales to the size of the device that it's being viewed on. This ensures that your website functions beautifully and efficiently on any sized device!

Sure thing! E-Commerce sites are more complicated to set up and have their own set of requirements, so they typically need a higher budget and can take more time to finish. 

A Content Management System (CMS) is a tool that allows you to be able to manage and control your content without the need for advanced technical skills. Our drag and drop builder makes it easy to add pages, images, products, or blog entries to your website.

Don't want to be responsible for changes or edits on your website? That's ok too! Just take a look at our Care Plan Packages and we'll take care of it for you.

Sure do! We provide a full website walk-through of your Content Management System and video tutorials built right into your website. You can also request in-depth training and we'll include it in your proposal or you can sign up for our Summit Website Care Plan and use your consult meeting for training.

As a part of your project, we can include guidance on social media and email marketing services, but I don't manage your social media channels.

Social media and email marketing can feel overwhelming. Maybe you're doing a ton of work, but "everyone else is on social media" is not an effective marketing strategy! We'll help you form a cohesive plan for your digital marketing.

Web hosting is a service that allows your website to be viewed on the Internet. It's basically a computer housed in a data center that runs your website.

We partner with Flywheel - safe, secure, and super-fast dedicated WordPress hosting. It's the best of both worlds: during business hours, you can pick up the phone and talk directly to a real person who knows you, your business goals, and maybe your Starbucks order. After hours, or when we're camping in the woods, you have expert WordPress support, available 24/7 for emergencies!

However, to be hosted with us, you have to be on one of our CarePlans. If you're not sure you want to do that, you can check out Flywheel's options for hosting here!

Flywheel is just for WordPress though, so we don't host email. We partner with G Suite for email hosting, but we aren't an email company, so we can only offer limited support for email hosting or migration. We do partner with some really brilliant people who are way better at email than we are though and are happy to help get you all set up!

A domain name is your address on the internet. Typically this would be something like "yourcompany.com".

You sure do! We can use or transfer your existing domain or help you decide on a new one. There are lots of options for domains and we're happy to help you brainstorm the most effective domain name for your organization.

We love Google Domains which allows us both to have full domain control, meaning your domain will never be lost due to a lapsed registration since we'll both be notified of any changes or alerts on your domains, but you'll never feel like you've lost your access to your domain.

Search Engine Optimisation is all about getting your website higher up in the search results on search engines such as Google. The higher up the results you are the more traffic (and customers) you're likely to get.

There are many aspects that go into achieving good SEO, and one of the most important is the copy (words) on your website. Focus on well written, keyword rich and appropriate content is the key.

Contrary to common belief, SEO is not a one-time action, nor is it a verb. You do not "SEO" a website once when it launches and that's the end of it. It is an ongoing process that requires periodic review of the content on your site and the sources of the traffic coming to your site.
