Questions people ask

Is the $500 portfolio really $500?

Yes. It's a one-time payment for the standard one-page package, and hosting is included with no monthly website fee. Anything beyond the package is optional and agreed separately first.

Can I see a price before I talk to you?

Yes. The price finder shows an estimate as soon as you answer the questions, with no email required. The final quote comes after we confirm the scope together.

Do I need a domain?

A domain is optional for a portfolio and recommended for a business. If you already own one, at GoDaddy or anywhere else, it can point to the new site. A new one costs about $15–40 a year at a registrar.

Which platform should I use?

It depends on what you sell and who edits the site. Stores usually suit Shopify or BigCommerce. Service sites can be custom or WordPress. I'll recommend one and explain why.

Can you work on my existing site?

Usually, yes. I can improve or redesign sites on Shopify, BigCommerce and WordPress. Builders like GoDaddy's limit what can be customized, so sometimes moving is the better option. I'll tell you which.

How long does it take?

Most small sites take two to four weeks once content is ready. Larger sites and stores take longer. You'll get a timeline with your quote.

I'm Dakota, a web designer in Colorado. Six years in business development and three in marketing taught me what makes someone pick up the phone, and every site I build is designed around that. You work with me directly, from the first call through launch.
