why i do it
(hover to view)
(it being... make websites!)
The knack for website design came from hours of my pre-teen years spent perfecting my Tumblr blog aesthetic and refined by the need to brand and market myself as an actor! My passion and patience for website design will help capture your personality and bring it to life for your site.
"As a total newcomer to website design, I had a totally nebulous vision of what my online persona should be, and Maddy took it, manifested it in a beautiful and visual way, communicated with me every step of the way, and made something beyond my wildest dreams. Most of all, though, she made a website built to last and adjust with time. She gave me all the skills I need to add tweaks and changes to the website as they happen! Hire her!!!"

Actor Site
Whether you're a soon-to-be graduate breaking into the professional world, a working actor, or embarking on a new creative project, a website is an essential tool for success.
Maybe you get a little overwhelmed thinking about capturing your aesthetic or brand into one cohesive landing page on the internet... especially if you're unfamiliar with navigating a website-building platform like Wix.
"Maddy helped me find the core of how I wanted to present myself and endlessly adjusted and communicated so that I could have a website I’m proud to call my own."

The Process
1. I'll get to know you!
After you reach out, I'll send you a questionnaire to get a sense of your website needs, branding ideas/inspiration, and a timeline for launching your site.
2. I'll start creating!
Once the site has begun to take shape, I'll check in to make sure you like where it's heading. (This is also a checkpoint for anyone who's indecisive like me- if you desire, I'll create two entirely different landing pages for you to have options, and then you let me know which theme you want me to continue building your site with!)
3. I'll ask for some stuff!
I'll have you send any pictures (pictures, videos, etc.) and other materials or links that you want to make sure end up on your site.
3. I'll prepare you to launch!
Your mobile and desktop compatible website is complete, and now it's time to share it with the world! To best prepare you, we'll sit on a video call together where I'll give you a tour of your site and walk you through how to maintain and update it. This walkthrough/tutorial can be recorded for you to reference!
F A Q s
1.Wbat platform do you use to create websites?
I design exclusively using Wix. There are plenty of debates as to what the best platform to use is, but ultimately I choose Wix because it is a drag-and-drop platform that is the easiest for you to learn to maintain! (Please note, a Wix premium membership is not included in any website package.)
2. I want to revamp my current site/create a site myself, can you offer any guidance?
Yes! In the interest form below, please specify that you're looking to revamp an existing site and I can offer you a quote based on your needs.
If you'd rather do the work yourself, I also offer coaching via Zoom that will walk you through the basics of creating a site using Wix (navigation of the platform, branding ideas and how to implement them, etc.) However, I have more to offer you and your site if you bring me on as your designer!
3. How long will it take for you to make my site?
This depends on my workload! I estimate about 1-2 weeks to complete the whole process outlined above, but if you need it expedited, that can be done for an additional fee. We'll work together to create a timeline that works for you.
