Your questions, answered.
It's natural to have a few questions before investing in a new website - here are some that I commonly get asked. If you still have questions, please feel free to reach out.
Developing your site in Webflow is the most time-consuming aspect of migrating your site, the exact timeframe varies depending on the size of the site. Once the new site is ready to be launched, it typically only takes a day to make the switch happen. There can be a few hours of downtime when the move happens, so I'll arrange a time with you that causes the least disruption to your business.
I'm hearing you, I'm not fond of unnecessary meetings either. Throughout the build, the only time I feel it's necessary for us to get together at the same time is for a discovery session before starting the visual design of the site, and even then alternative arrangements can be made.
During the rest of the build, I'll generally provide you with updates through Figma and Loom - platforms that allow me to share updates with you on my schedule, and for you to watch and provide feedback on yours.
Just like building a website from the ground up, the cost of shifting your website to Webflow can vary significantly depending on how many pages your site has, the design and layout complexity, and any integrations you might require.

I'm currently avaliable for new projects. If you are interested in a new website and would like a no-obligation quote, you can do so by scheduling a call with me.
Generally my payment terms are 50% of the project fees upfront, with the remaining 50% payable on completion.
Absolutely! I'm based just outside of Christchurch, New Zealand and love working with local businesses, but also enjoy working with businesses from all across the globe. I use Loom to share updates with clients to overcome any time zone difference.

Generally a new website will be ready to go live within 4-8 weeks. This varies depending on the scope of the project, my avaliability at the time, and a few other factors. My proposals include a timeline of the project with measurable milestones, so that we both have clear expectations of how long the build will take before getting started.
The price of a website can vary tremendously depending on its scope and deliverables. Until we've established what's required - whether it be a single page landing website or a complex build loaded with a bunch of animations & intergrations- it's all apples and oranges.
To help get us in the same ballpark, 90% of the websites I build fall within the 2k - 10k (NZD) range.
Once the website is completed I can either setup you up with your own Webflow account and transfer it over to you, or it can be hosted within my own workspace (don't worry, you'll still have access to edit it!). Either way the only ongoing cost is the site hosting from Webflow, pricing for which can be found here.
Unlike other platforms (such as Wordpress), Webflow doesn't require any regular updates for plugins or security patches meaning that there isn't any monthly 'care fee' for keeping the lights on with regards to your site.
There are a lot of reasons! Webflow allows developer to create visually stunning websites with complex, custom interactions & animations that produce engaging experiences with your audience, all while still outputting clean, semantic code that means fast-loading pages and better SEO rankings. Also its straight forward CMS system makes publishing new content to a site a breeze for clients!
For many businesses, Webflow provides an unrivalled solution for what they need from a website. Other platforms (I'm looking at you, Wordpress) with their clumsy drag & drop page builders, bloated plugins and never-ending updates fall utterly short in comparison.

If you're happy with your existing design, it will be replicated as closely as possible within Webflow. Because of the way different systems display certain elements, I can't promise it will look absolutely identical, but any differences will generally be very minor and only noticeable if you were comparing them side-by-side.
If your website is due a bit of a tidy-up, this is a prime opportunity to do so. If you're after a design refresh when shifting to Webflow, please let me know when submitting your project enquiry.
Unavoidably, making such a significant change as switching platforms can cause a temporary hit to your site traffic. This dip is typically short-lived, and you can be assured that the necessary care is taken during the preparation stage to mitigate traffic loss. Before long you should start to see a boost in traffic thanks to Webflow's SEO performance!
