FAQ

  • M-F, 10-5 EST. I respond to emails after 2pm, M-F. I'm closed on weekends and all common US holidays.

  • While the website and brand messaging principles I apply to my clients’ websites work for all types of businesses, my services are best suited for small businesses and brands with a team of 1-5 people.

  • Once you've purchased the website package, submitted the questionnaire, and I've confirmed I have all information and files I need from you - the clock starts! I'll have your website design completed in 3 business days, and submit that to you for review. I can make up to one round of changes if you have any, and then show you how to make the website live if you don't already know how.

  • After I build and submit your website to you, you can request one round of changes to the site. After these changes are made and the site goes live, any additional work can be purchased A La Carte.

  • My website has been created on Squarespace, and I create all my client's websites on Squarespace as well. There are pros and cons to any platform, but my goal was to find the most feature-rich platform that offered a super-simple user experience, and Squarespace does that better than anyone!

  • For the sake of simplicity in workflow, I'm currently focused exclusively on the Squarespace platform. If that ever changes, I'll make sure to let you know. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up on the latest new from Holritz Business Design!

  • There's plenty in life that's necessarily complicated. Physics. Nuclear engineering. Trying to figure out why there are so many Fast and Furious movies.

    But most things in our day-to-day existence - especially business websites - don't have to be that complicated. And even better, simplicity (minimal number of parts) means less to keep up with, less stress as a result, working more efficiently, and ultimately enabling your clients to focus on what matters when they're trying to do business with you!

  • Absolutely! However, we'll just treat the project like a new website - which will give us the opportunity to make improvements to your site, while maintaining the elements that work really well.

  • From the Squarespace Support site:

    1. Open the Permissions & Ownership panel and click Invite Contributor.

    2. In the Invite Contributor window, enter the contributor's name and email address.

    3. Switch the toggles to give the contributor permissions based on how they'll contribute. You can give them permissions of all other roles by switching the administrator toggle on, or pick and choose among multiple permissions.

    4. Click Invite to send your invitation.

    5. Your contributor will receive an email invitation asking them to log into their existing Squarespace account or create a new one.

    Invited contributors are listed under Invites Sent.

  • That's intentional - black (and white) has been part of my brands for a very long time! But I know that most people like a little color in their life, so I do ask for your brand colors in your onboarding questionnaire. I'll make sure to use those colors for your website! You can also see a few mockups of web pages using color on the home page of this site.

  • If you work with larger development companies, you're helping pay their payroll and dealing with more complicated workflows - hence the higher costs and longer turnaround times.

    If you work with a smaller company or individual designer, they may be a bit less expensive than the larger company, but inefficiency in their workflow means the process takes longer and thus still costs quite a bit.

    I'm a solo design studio using highly efficient workflows - including the wonderful Squarespace website platform - and thus can keep costs down while getting work done quickly.

  • First, it's important that you know I don't use website templates, or just copy and paste one website to another. This wouldn't be fair to anyone.

    Websites that readily convert potential clients to paying customers apply certain design principles for that purpose. I apply some of the Storybrand (Donald Miller) principles to each website for the purpose of better user experience and higher conversion.

    In addition, in a modern world that is busy in every way, simplicity becomes a welcome relief - and thus stands out to your potential customers. Simplicity also encourages a better user experience on your website, making it easier for potential clients to hire you or purchase your product.
