Even If You Have No Idea Where to Begin
You need a website - and HELP.
→ you’re tired of interviewing designers only to find out they only help with one piece of the process
→ you have no idea what you need to get this thing off the ground
→ you want some guidance around your branding and your copy
→ you want some accountability in putting this whole thing together
OR, you're simply working on a budget
→ you can't afford a branding expert, a business coach, a website designer and a developer
→ still, you don’t want to skimp on quality
→ you don't want to sink money into a website you won't be able to edit later
→ you’ve been wracking your brain for a solution that gets you a website without blowing up your startup costs
I've got good news for you!

Don't take it from me...
As a new health and wellness coach, I was nervous about being able to find a web designer who was enjoyable to work with and could make my vision come alive within a quick time-frame. Kara recommended a talented graphic designer on her team and I ended up with a logo that I feel encompasses my entire brand. But the best thing I got out of working with Kara was a website I absolutely LOVE beyond words.
-Casey Kaczmarek
I HIGHLY recommend working with Kara if you are in need of setting up a quality website but have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how to make your vision come to life! Kara took all of my direction and vision to heart and created a BEAUTIFUL website that captures the essence of who I am and my brand! I feel like not only do I have a beautiful website that I could have never created myself but also the tools to start to begin to manage the website myself thanks to Kara’s guidance and support.

Imagine...
… someone who has built hundreds of websites hands you a list of everything you need for your website – no guesswork here!
… they help you craft your copy, your brand vision and review everything before it’s ready to be part of the website
… you just turn over all of your website materials to a professional and skip all of the tech headaches
… that professional (hint: she’s me!) sets up everything you need so that you don’t need to do anything
… and finally she shows you your finished website and tells you the exact steps you need to take to launch it
… wait there’s more! You receive support from someone who actually knows what they’re doing, get lifetime access to a lower rate for any paid updates, and you get access to relevant online courses for your website and online biz!
Are we going to do this thing, or what?
It’s a no-brainer…
I’ve worked with all of these platforms and tech tools for years. This is how you get a quality website and all the pieces that make a website great without costing you your first born child, or your sanity.
What do I need to get started?
Just an idea! If you have a business or personal brand you’re looking to bring to life online, I’ll walk you through all the steps required to bring it to life and we’ll execute on each piece together.
How much does hosting cost?
SquareSpace:Â SquareSpace hosting is about $220/year. If you book your build with me you get 20% off the first year, so you’ll pay about $185 the first year.
WordPress:Â My recommendation for WordPress hosting is SiteGround. They’re pricing is $85-$120/year depending on the plan you select. If you already have hosting, I’ll also work with Bluehost and GoDaddy accounts.
I've never had a website before, will this work for me?
Yes! I take care of all the difficult setup and show you everything you need to know to maintain your site going forward.
I work with easy-to-use editing tools so that you can make changes to your website yourself. I also give you access to relevant courses so that you can learn how to create custom pages in the future!
What if I need more help?
I’m here for you! During our exploration call, we’ll map out all of the areas you’ll need support in and how we’ll get this thing done.
I also offer free content, paid courses and 1:1 services in pretty much every area of online business from website design to online marketing.
Will this really get me EVERYTHING I need to launch a website?
Yes! I’m always upfront about the fact that I don’t consider myself an expert in many of the areas that I work in. I can refer you to top copywriters, brand strategists, marketing experts and business coaches. BUT if you’re looking for a one-stop solution to get you up and running with a beautiful and functional website with clear messaging and a look you love, I’m your girl.
What's included?
The template website gets you a build based on a pre-made template of your choice.
You get:
- Business Clarity session
- Copy templates and guidance
- The 4 pages most businesses need (Home, About, Services, Contact)
- Contact form configured
- Scheduling set up
- Email Opt-in added (instructions to connect with MailChimp or Squarespace campaigns will be provided)
Additional pages are $100 each and will be billed separately prior to the build start. Copy guidance for additional pages is $250/page.
E-commerce / store / membership site configuration is additional and can be discussed on your exploration call.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
I do not offer refunds for any work done as part of my 1:1 services. I am always open to having a discussion and helping you troubleshoot things so that you can find a solution.
If you’re not sure if this is the right fit for you, I do offer a money-back guarantee on all of my digital courses and tools for DIYers.
