Freelance WordPress Web Design and Development
Based in Portland, Oregon - Serving Clients Globally
I work directly with established business owners to help you reach more customers through a custom website strategy, fast turnaround time, and ongoing website maintenance and support.
Your website is your first impression to potential customers. Make it a memorable one.
Can you afford to lose 8 out of every 10 customers to your competitors? 80% of potential customers will check your website and reviews. If your website is outdated, slow, boring, and difficult to use… What does that say about your business?
Your website is an investment with measurable ROI. Cutting corners means cutting profits. A website that isn’t customer-focused with a good user experience will hold you back from greater success.
As a result, you lose those potential customers to your competitors, leading to a bigger financial loss than the cost of having a website professionally built.
Let’s change that. Invest in a marketing tool that promotes your business 24/7 through a custom website strategy to grow your business and expand its reach online the right way.
“Websites promote you 24/7: No employee will do that.”
Paul Cookson
Hey there, I’m Ellie, a Portland, Oregon WordPress web designer and have lived and traveled around the US and globally while working remotely with clients worldwide for over 20 years. I started designing websites when I was a nerdy kid and have been passionate about it ever since.
I love meeting business owners, learning about your unique goals, and coming up with a plan to make it happen. I don’t just build websites. I design and develop custom online business strategies to reach your goals in ways you never knew were possible. The relief in knowing that you have an expert in your corner, possibly after struggling to find one for a while, is why I’m here. I’ll answer your questions, respond to your calls, and help you finally get your website where you need it to be for future success.
I work in design sprints. With others, your website may take months to complete because you’re one of many clients. I don’t work that way. I am able to complete your new website fast by only working with a handful of clients at a time.
After launch, you receive a walkthrough video of your website showing how to make the easy updates (text, images, etc) on your own. I stay on to take care of the heavy lifting needed to maintain your website with a care plan to keep it backed up, secure, and up and running smoothly.
We have a meeting to discuss your goals. I send over a detailed project proposal with an outline so there are never any surprises. We both sign off, the deposit is paid, and the build begins.
With a clear strategy, I get to work on building your custom website. My process usually takes 10-15 business days depending on the size and complexity of your website. We check in regularly as needed.
Your new website is almost ready to launch. Review and make note of any final revisions. This is a fast process (2-3 days). We run through two revision phases and then it's time for Step 4!
After final approval, launch day is here! Watch your investment start to bring in new leads. Your website is setup with hosting and maintenance to ensure uptime and secure performance.
Being a web developer is not your job, but building your own website can feel like learning a whole new career. You don't know what you don't know. Is it mobile responsive? Is it fast enough? Does it have security risks?
When you hire me, you can ease your mind and put your time back into your business while relying on my expertise to build and launch your website.
Many of my clients come to me after they wasted time and money by opting for a budget web developer. You'll quickly realize, with relief, that I'm worth the price of your investment. Lesser rates result in a lesser product - inexperienced, slow responses, more mistakes, using up your time to manage them - but you still end up paying premium prices because they took so long to finally finish your website when it could have been up and turning a profit weeks ago.
Ellie has had a pivotal role in the success of our businesses over the past several years. She implemented each one into a fully functional and well designed website. Our investors appreciate easily finding the information they need.
