Before we decide what your website should look like, we figure out what it needs to do.
What does someone need to understand when they land on your site? What questions are they trying to answer? Which services need more explanation? And where do you want them to go next?
Those are the kinds of things we work through together before the design takes shape.
We begin by asking the right questions.
What's Included
Every custom website project brings together the pieces your website needs to look good, communicate clearly and work well.
We determine what pages you need, how they should be organized and what information belongs where.

You’ll always know where your project stands, what I’m working on and what I need from you. I keep things organized and communicate throughout the project so you’re never left wondering what happens next.
Clear, Consistent Communication
THE PROCESS
I’ll bring my experience and perspective to the project, but you know your business better than anyone. There are clear opportunities for feedback along the way, and we’ll work through decisions together.
Room for Collaboration
You don’t need to know what platform you need, how to organize your pages or what makes good website copy. I’ll guide you through those decisions and handle the details that fall within my expertise.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
What platform will my website be built on?
We design custom websites in Wix Studio and Showit. We’ll recommend the platform that makes the most sense for your business, the way your website needs to function and how you’ll want to manage it after launch.
Do I need to write my own website copy?
No. Copywriting is included in our custom website projects. We’ll learn about your business, services and clients and write the copy alongside the design of your site. You’ll have the opportunity to review everything and provide feedback along the way.
What do I need to provide?
You’ll provide the information we need to learn about your business, along with your brand assets and photography if you already have them. We'll guide you through what’s needed and when, so you don’t have to figure it all out before we begin.
Will I be able to update my website myself?
Yes. Both Wix Studio and Showit make it possible to handle everyday updates without coming back to me each time. Before we wrap up, we’ll show you how to manage the parts of your website you’re most likely to change.
Is SEO included?
Yes. Foundational on-page SEO is included in every custom website project, including page structure, titles and descriptions, image optimization and other essentials that help search engines understand your site.
No. Avenue Bee Studio is based in Northwest Indiana, but we work with businesses throughout the country. The entire website process can be completed remotely.
