Web Design for Solopreneurs

Hi, I’m Helena – I create clean, stylish, minimalist websites…

…for solopreneurs and small business owners.

If you are:

• a writer wanting to build your own platform (so you’re not completely reliant on social media),
• a health practitioner or coach wanting to update your online presence to broaden your reach and get ready for bigger things,

then this is the website solution that will allow you to get started quickly and professionally.

Tell me more

Let’s be honest here…

Whether we like it or not, in the online world, many people “judge a book by it’s cover”. Meaning that if you have a website that looks a little “home-made”, doesn’t work well on the smaller screen of a smart phone, or comes up with a warning message from Google saying “this website is not secure”, you’re not exactly making friends and influencing your future customers in a positive way.

And if you’re still relying on Facebook or Instagram as your business website, then you definitely need your own website.

You deserve a professional & beautiful website for your business

Your website isn’t just an online brochure – if it’s to become an asset for your business, then it needs to look professional and have the functionality your need to run your business in an effort-less way, for example:

•  as an author, you need to be able to share your writing through blog posts or downloadable samples of your book, share upcoming events (like book launches and speaking engagements), enable visitors to your site to sign up for updates, and have a way to receive media enquiries.
• as a health practitioner or coach, you need to be able to share your knowledge through informative articles, enable your clients to not only book online but also pay in advance for their appointments (saving you both the pain of back and forth emails trying to confirm times), and allow your website visitors to join your mailing list.

Your website also needs to be fast loading (no-one likes a slow website), mobile responsive (so it looks good and works well on a smartphone without needing a magnifying glass to read it) and secure (to avoid hackers and to allow your clients to feel at ease when purchasing services from your website).

I know you’d rather be writing your next book or helping people with their health or personal challenges..and that’s why I’ve created The QuickStart Website

If you’re looking for a professional, streamlined, affordable website, the QuickStart website is for you.

It’s designed to get your website created quickly (we aim to have you live within 4-6 weeks after we receive your content – logo, style guide, copy for pages and blog posts) so you can keep focussed on doing what you love to do and leave the website creating to me.

Is this you?

• Making websites is not your forte – you’ve done the best you can and your site looks okay, but you apologise (& cringe a little) every time you give someone your web address,
• You want to take your website to the next level but you’re not ready to spend $10,000 plus for full custom design and development,
• You’re ready to hand over the website creation reigns to a professional but still want to be able to add content to your website when you need to,
• You’ve got all the components you need plus some inspiration sites and you’re ready to go!

What you’ll receive

• A fresh, new, professional, WordPress website where your potential customers can read about you, discover what you do, sign up for your mailing list, hire you or simply get in touch.
• A website that will look great on a laptop, tablet and smartphone.
• The ability to add new blog posts or edit existing content.
• 2 rounds of revisions

Bonus: 1 month of free access to our Protect level of Website Care (valued at $180AUD) which commences once your website is delivered.

Why would you want to work with me?

I’ve been creating websites since 2007.

My journey started in 2005, searching Google for help to modify a cheap template so I could build a site for my coaching business. I taught myself html and css (with help from my husband and Google) and learnt to code websites from scratch, even embedding Blogger into static websites.

In late 2007, when a client asked for a website he could update himself, I searched for a content management system and found WordPress and StudioPress themes (originally Revolution themes) and I’ve used both to create websites ever since.

Over the last 13 years creating websites, my focus has always been on creating high quality websites – beautiful, streamlined and minimalist, incorporating the essential functionality (I’ve weeded out the good from the bad, and now I use only the best quality tools to create your website – WordPress, the Genesis Framework or Thrive Theme Builder and a few select, premium plugins) and I make sure everything is configured and working on your site as if it were my own.

My attention to detail borders on obsessive and I’m passionate about you having a beautiful and functional website that will allow you to grow your blog or business to match your vision.
