Question 1

What Are Your Business Hours?

Accepted Answer

M-F, 10-5 EST. I respond to emails after 1pm, M-F. I'm closed on weekends and all common US holidays.

Question 2

What Kind of Business Owners are Your Services Best For?

Accepted Answer

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. I also use the Squarespace platform to design your website. Squarespace is an extremely user-friendly platform, making it easy for you to take over management of your website after I design it for you—if you’d like.

Question 3

What website platform do you use to design your websites, and why?

Accepted Answer

My website has been created on Squarespace, and I create all of my clients’ 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!

Question 4

Will you work on my website if it's not on Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

For the sake of simplicity in workflow, I'm currently focused exclusively on Squarespace websites—whether I’m creating a new website for you there, or helping you move your website from another platform to Squarespace.

Question 5

Can I pay you to move my website from another platform to Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! However, we'll just treat the project like a new website—giving us the opportunity to make improvements to your website while maintaining the elements that work really well.

Question 6

You say you can build or update my website in 3 days. Is that for real?!

Accepted Answer

Once you've purchased the website package, submitted the questionnaire and associated files—and I've confirmed I have all information and files I need from you—the clock starts! I'll have the first draft of your website design completed in 3 business days, and submit that to you for review. I can make up to one round of changes based on feedback you give me from the first draft, and then show you how to make the website live if you don't already know how. Once your site is live, I will do an SEO / AIO review and make any necessary remaining updates before marking the project complete.

Question 7

Why are you so much cheaper and faster than other companies?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

How can I get the best/fastest results from Holritz Business Design?

Accepted Answer

Be clear in what you’re trying to achieve with your website, so you can clearly communicate that to me.

1. Be clear about what your brand represents in contrast to your competition (your brand position). If you need help with this, I’m here for it—but things will always move more quickly if you’re clear about this to begin with.

2. Be clear about your business bio, your personal bio, and the services you’re offering. The more detail you’re able to give me, the better.

3. Provide lots of high-quality, high-resolution photos. Better to provide more than necessary—whether that’s photos of you or your services.

Question 9

What SEO work are you including with my website?

Accepted Answer

For a website build or redesign, I’m focused on implementing core SEO principles within the Squarespace platform. I’ll make sure that H1 and H2 tags, page titles, page descriptions, and image metadata are all in place. I’ll also make sure that each page contains the appropriate amount of copy for stronger rankings. I’ll also guide you in getting connected to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. If you’d like a more comprehensive assessment and updates to your site for the purposes of ranking higher in search results, I’m available for A La Carte, hourly work at $99/hr.

Question 10

What if I want to make a few changes to the website design you create for me?

Accepted Answer

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 at my $99/hr rate. Of course the Squarespace platform is quite user-friendly, so you can always make changes yourself, but I’d love the opportunity to be your go-to solution for updates to your site on an ongoing basis!

Question 11

Why the obsession with simplicity?

Accepted Answer

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, being able to work more efficiently, and ultimately enabling your clients to focus on what matters when they're trying to do business with you!

Question 12

Your website has no color! Do you design websites with color?

Accepted Answer

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. Your website will naturally be more colorful if you also provide color images for your website.
