Black Lion Websites provides web design services to help you, including web design and development, website maintenance, and website hosting.
Website Design
Creating a good website can be difficult for numerous reasons:
- Do-It-Yourself web design services like Wix or Squarespace are expensive and not intuitive or user-friendly.
- Finding a web designer or developer who can explain things in terms you can understand, and who is dedicated to customer service, is hard to find.
- Most people outside of the website industry don’t keep up with current trends and technology, so the website they create for themselves doesn’t look so great.
My web design services can help. With over 20 years in the website industry, I’ll design an amazing website for you at an affordable price using my web design process. We’ll discuss your needs and preferences, I’ll create a blueprint for the website with your input, and then I’ll build the site and launch it. Leave the heavy lifting to me, and I’ll work with you to launch a professional-looking website for both desktop and mobile devices that you’re proud to show to your customers.
Website Maintenance
Whether you’re a current Black Lion client and need some website updates, or your website was built by someone else on a website platform like GoDaddy or Wix and you need some help updating the site, I’m happy to help! I pride myself in being able to navigate many different platforms. I’m very familiar with website programming languages like html and css and have worked in website building platforms like WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and others.
Maintenance Contract
I’ll ask you to sign a maintenance contract. This simply lays out what you and I can expect regarding website maintenance. However, most website designers and firms charge you a monthly retainer, like $200/month for 3 hours of website work, and you get charged whether you use the 3 hours or not. Does that seem fair to you? Me neither. That’s why I’ll only charge you for the work that I perform. No updates for a month means you won’t see a bill for that month.
Hosting | Domain Names
Any publicly accessible website needs to be housed in a place where people can access it. This housing is a computer called a “server,” and the act of having a website on a server is referred to as “hosting.” Websites also need a website address, also known as a domain name. I offer both hosting and domain name services to my clients.
Domain Name Procurement
I will help you select a domain name that reflects your business and helps search engines find you. If you’ve already selected and purchased a domain name, that’s fine! I can certainly use that on your website.
Website Hosting
I partner with an industry leading website hosting vendor that powers over 2 million websites worldwide and has a customer service team staffed with hundreds of people, available 24/7. I’ll make sure that your website performance is fast and reliable. I also offer personalized email addresses and nightly backups at no extra cost.
