CUSTOM WEBSITE DESIGN FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

A website built to make your business easier to choose.

Strategy, SEO copywriting and custom web design come together to create an online presence that looks considered, communicates clearly and guides the right people towards working with you.

"A strong website doesn't leave people searching for the point. It gives your business clarity, communicates its value and creates a natural path from finding you to wanting to work with you."

Lara, Founder MarchĒlla Creative

THE FULL PICTURE

Strategy, words and design — considered together.

Your website isn’t created in separate pieces and stitched together at the end. I shape the strategy first, write SEO-conscious copy around it and carry both into the design and development — so everything feels connected from the first headline to the final click.

A PROCESS WITH ROOM TO BREATHE

You bring the business. I'll lead the way.

01. DISCOVER
It starts with your business.
Through a detailed questionnaire, I get to know your brand, audience, goals, preferences and what this website needs to do for you.
02. STRATEGIZE
Good design starts with strategy.
I research, plan the structure and map the journey your visitors should take through the website.
03. WRITE
The right message, in the right place.
I shape your website copy around the strategy, your voice and relevant search intent — then refine it with your input.
04. DESIGN
This is where it starts to look like yours.
With the foundation in place, I create the visual experience around your business and the strategy we’ve established.
05. DEVELOP
From design to working website.
Once approved, I build the website responsively and make sure the experience holds up across desktop, tablet and mobile.
06. LAUNCH
Ready for the world.
After final checks and refinements, your website goes live — polished, purposeful and ready to represent your business properly.

FAQs

A little clarity before we begin

I work primarily with WordPress (Elementor Pro) and Wix Studio, choosing the platform that makes the most sense for your business, functionality and long-term needs.
No. SEO-conscious website copywriting is included in my custom website projects. I’ll use everything I learn about your business, audience and voice to shape the copy, with your input and approval along the way.
Most custom website projects take approximately 4–8 weeks, depending on scope, functionality and how quickly feedback and required materials are provided.
Not necessarily. If you already have established branding, I’ll work within it. If you’re missing elements such as typography, colors or visual direction, I can help establish the foundations needed for the website.
If your business has outgrown its current website, my Website Redesign service will likely be the better fit.

WHEN YOU'RE READY TO DO IT PROPERLY

A good website is worth getting right.

You don’t need a finished plan before reaching out. Come with the idea, the questions and the things you’re still figuring out — I’ll help make sense of the rest.
