WebDesign
Designing websites since 1995
Hi, I’m CArRiE McDougall
I’ve been designing web sites since 1995, and I LOVE what I do… the whole process, the brainstorming during the initial planning, interpreting my clients’ vision and creatively taking it from concept to digital form, and even the technical aspects of code manipulation. It’s all fun!
Designing a web site has come a long way since coding HTML from scratch (thank goodness)! I now almost exclusively use WordPress. I love WordPress for many reasons, the main one is I can be sure each site is responsive (adapts to phones, tablets, etc), which is so important. Plus, WordPress is so user-friendly some of my clients keep their web sites updated themselves. Of course, I’m always happy to update sites for those that would rather focus on their business instead of their web site.
Let’s chat! I offer a complimentary consultation and would love to discuss how I can help you with your online presence.

The Process
Even if this isn’t the your first experience embarking on a web design project, each designer does things a little differently, so I thought I would lay-out the process so you know what to expect.
step one
We start with a one-on-one FREE consultation (usually less than an hour). This can be done in-person, by phone or using Zoom. Together we assess your goals and desires for your project, such as whether your site will be purely informational or will it include on-line sales and/or scheduling of services. With this information I will be able to determine the size and technical scope of your project.
It would be helpful to be able to see your logo and any printed marketing material you might already have during our consultation. With this information I’ll be able to determine any creative needs and a clear picture of your vision.
step two
Within a day or two I will put together a “Project Outline & Quote” for you to review. This will provide every detail of your project, based on our consultation. This will insure you will have a clear understanding of exactly what will be included. Once you have approved of the outline and the price quoted, all you need to do is sign off, and we will get started! (a deposit of 1/2 down will be required at this time)
step three
Now the FUN part begins…
I will design an overall ‘look & feel’ for your project, a design built for your specific needs and branding. There will not be any ‘content’ yet at this stage, that will come a little later. You will want to take as much time as you need to review, test it on multiple devices, and maybe even share it with others, asking for feedback.
When you’re ready- we will evaluate and decide if it’s perfect, needs a few changes, or if it requires a trip back to the drawing board. We will repeat this step until you are thrilled with it! (final payment required once you are thrilled)
