No catch, but this is my story: After taking some design classes and creating my own website for my author business (I am a published writer), I really developed a love for graphic and web design and got some more training. I've done some work for friends, but am ready to branch out and start earning money doing something I really love.
And there's the catch: no one wants to hire someone with no experience. And you can't get experience unless someone hires you. So I'm offering to build single page websites (which means all of your sections are on one page) like the following samples:
http://prebuilt.vedadesigns.net/02.php
http://demo.vedadesigns.net/toni.php
The site will include the following features (any of which can be removed if you don't want them):
- Domain registration and hosting, if you don't already have these
- Responsive design for mobile devices
- Logo, if you need one
- Age and content disclaimer on entry
- One feature (large) image as header and/or background, plus a gallery
- Appointment scheduler with Google calendar integration
- Mailing list form and mailing list integration
- Photo gallery
- Services list, to include "All donations are compensation for my time and companionship only" disclaimer
- FAQ section (to include screening process, missed appointment procedures, and any other info you want to highlight)
- Blog, if you keep one or would like to start
- Search engine optimization
- Assistance with your web copy. I was an English major and am a romance author, so let me help you make magic with words on your site!
What do I get out of this? Your word-of-mouth references to friends and a credit with my business link in the footer of your site, and hopefully future business from you if you have any other graphic (print or web) design needs.
So if you have some gorgeous photos ready to go and want me to build your site, or have any other questions before you commit, message me. I'll even be happy to give you my phone number so we can talk and you can verify I'm real.
Thanks for reading this far, and for considering me for your design needs!
