First, we'll discuss what your primary needs are. I'll also ask you to fill out a questionnaire which will provide me with a good understanding of your goals, deadlines and target audience.

Next, I provide a quote, based on the initial consultation. Web quotes include estimates for programming and design, along with a list of costs outside of my services such as domain registration and hosting.

Once details are determined and the fee is approved, work can begin. For web clients, a site design document is produced. It includes the design layout, as well as details regarding navigation and functionality. Site building begins when this document is approved.

Throughout the process, I'll be asking you questions to ensure that the project meets your vision. You will also have an opportunity to review and fine-tune the work prior to receiving the final product.

I offer competitive rates for web design and writing.

FOR WEB PROJECTS: Fees are quoted on a per project basis. After a site is built and paid for, any new pages or additional special features needed after the initial build (e.g. photo gallery, rotating ads) will require a new quote. Fees for web updates/maintenance are charged based on the time worked.

FOR COPYWRITING: For short-term projects or one-offs, fees are quoted on a per project basis. This includes up to three drafts. Long-term writing assignments are charged on an hourly basis.

FOR WEB PROJECTS: Once a client approves the web design and quote, 50% of the cost of the site is due. Upon completion of the site, and prior to the site going live, the remaining 50% is due.

FOR COPYWRITING: Once a client signs an agreement, a 50% deposit is required. Upon completion of the work, and prior to you receiving the final draft, the remaining 50% is due.

Payment can be made by cheque or via Paypal.

My clients get the personal attention they deserve. Because I'm able to offer multiple services, I don't need to contract out any work. That means that no details will be missed and no additional overhead costs will be passed on to my clients.

Furthermore, I'm formally trained and educated in both multimedia and journalism. That translates into a professionally polished product. Whether you're a web client or a writing client, I carefully review any provided content. If there are any discrepancies or errors, I will bring it to your attention so that any information passed on to your patrons is correct and up-to-date.
