Frequently Asked Questions

  • A consultation call is always the first step so that I can get a good understanding of your needs and recommend an appropriate length of time. Over time, repeat clients get a better idea of what we can get done and they can decide which session they need without a call.

  • Tracking time is so important and because I’ve done it so much I know my design estimates to a T. If there happens to be more feedback and revisions than expected it can require additional sessions. If we go over by half an hour? No worries. If we go over a few hours? Let’s regroup and figure out next steps.

  • My day rate sessions are generally booked about 2 to 3 weeks out.

  • We can surely customize the design of a website using day rates, but what I cannot promise is in-depth strategy, custom graphics, functionality or SEO during that time. If you want more comprehensive web design support, please visit the website design service page.

  • We can create a text-based primary logo and establish a color palette, but If you want more comprehensive brand strategy, secondary logo and brand guide, please inquire about the branding package add-on.

  • For the 2-hour session, I only allow feedback after the deliverables have been sent. For longer sessions, I request that you’re available to answer emails to review and provide feedback throughout the rest of the scheduled session. There will be periods of time when I’m heads down that you will not be needed. As you can imagine if there’s a long delay in providing feedback, I cannot guarantee we’ll get everything done by the end of the session.

What People Are Saying

  • I hired Courtney to update a few pages of my website. I took a year-ish off for pregnancy/maternity leave and needed a website that reflected my new business goals. (And, I needed it quickly.) Courtney’s work on my Home page and Services pages immediately made me feel more confident and capable of getting back out there and marketing myself! Couldn’t recommend her more!

    – Karsen Murray, Karsen Murray Copy Studio

  • Working with Courtney is an absolute dream. From start to finish, Courtney was super professional, a great communicator, extremely prompt and organized, met every deadline, and was just a total delight to work with. Though part of me wants to keep her a secret, the truth must out—Courtney is a wickedly talented, wonderful designer and human. Can’t recommend her and her services highly enough.

    – Lisa Walden, Good Company Consulting

  • I am beyond appreciative of Courtney! When I got in a bind with a Squarespace page, Courtney was able to build the page I needed and publish it to the correct domain within less than 24 hours. She helped me wrap up a project that needed this final Squarespace piece in place to streamline everything. I am thankful for her quick response time, attention to detail, and ease in the overall process of working with her!
