Questions you may have:

  • Trust is always earned, never given. You deserve to trust your website partner, especially with such a significant purchase for your business.

    If you are a new or growing service business owner who…

    • Needs a professional website that looks (design) and sounds (words) credible

    • Doesn’t want months of headaches waiting to launch your new site

    • Wants to work 1-on-1 with a website partner who makes you feel at ease

    …Then working with me is a wise decision.

    Check out my Client Wins & Reviews to see how business owners just like you have succeeded with me.

  • From start to finish, you will work 1-on-1 with me, Andy Rhodenbaugh, the founder and owner of Clear Sight Design. I maintain clear communication with my clients, and I’ll be your only point of contact throughout your project.

  • If you prefer paying for time instead of value, I may not be the right designer for you.

    Once you experience my process and the result, you’ll never want to endure months-long projects again.

    Most buildouts (see details above) will be launched in one week. Expect to invest 4 hours of your time across a few meetings (see details in the next question).

    Using the StoryBrand Framework to craft your brand messaging means I’m not making things up on the fly. I’m using a predictable roadmap that’s simple to follow.

    My years of Squarespace design experience and use of my curated templates mean we move fast without compromising on quality.

    Depending on the scope of the project, larger buildouts (see details above) may take 2-3 weeks to launch and will require about 6-8 hours of your time across multiple meetings.

  • Once you decide to move forward, we will schedule all our meeting times in our calendars.

    Every project starts with Foundation, where we lock in your brand messaging—the words you’ll use to talk about your business. Foundation works like this:

    • You’ll fill out a 30-minute Brand Intake before our first meeting.

    • Then we’ll meet for 90 minutes for your Brand Interview and we’ll dive deep into your brand.

    • Next, I’ll write your Brand Message content and send it to you to review.

    • We’ll meet a second time, this time for 60 minutes, to live-edit and approve your Brand Message content.

    Once your messaging is locked in, we can move to your website Buildout. I’ll send you a shared Google folder, and you’ll upload all your brand assets, such as your logo, photos, colors, service details, etc.

    If you choose the Growth Buildout, I will build your website using one of my custom curated templates.

    Customizing one of my templates for your business cuts down on time and removes the need for revisions, all without compromising on quality.

    Once I’m finished with the design, we will meet for about 30 minutes to make any needed edits, and I’ll help you launch your new website.

    All this will take place within 5 business days. Expect to invest 4 hours of your time for Foundation and a Growth Buildout.

    If you choose a Signature Buildout, depending on the size of your project, we will have one or multiple live-edit revision sessions.

    Signature Buildout projects are typically 2-3 weeks in length. Expect to invest 6-8 hours of your time for Foundation and a Signature Buildout.

  • I know investing in a new website is a big decision, and I take that seriously. Your money is hard-earned, so I keep things simple and clear up front.

    My fees are flat-rate and based on the value I deliver, not the hours I work.

    You’ll never be surprised by extra charges or worry about padded time. I also don’t negotiate or compete on price.

    This allows us to both focus on enjoying an awesome project experience and delivering max value without worrying about money in the background.

  • Truth be told, over a decade ago, I was looking on Google for a new website platform for myself. Squarespace was the easiest to understand, and the rest is history.

    Squarespace is known for its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, simple editing, powerful tools, stunning designs, and award-winning customer support. Hosting and security are included in your subscription.

    It’s a great option for new and growing service businesses who need an affordable solution that can grow with their business.

  • Yes. As a Squarespace Circle Platinum Partner, I get my clients access to this special discount. It’s a nice perk to save you a few bones.

  • A bad mobile website is a surefire way to lose a client. I don’t have time for that here. Your website will be optimized for both desktop and mobile.

  • Absolutely. If your business tool has an embed code, we can add it in. Squarespace integrates with various tools for email, scheduling, CRMs, and other business applications.

  • Absolutely. Squarespace websites can add all three of these options. To do this, we will use my Signature Buildout product.

  • Yes. For select clients, I offer an ongoing Support package (see details here). You get access to a custom client portal where you can submit unlimited website edits. You get the peace of mind that your site is always updated and always looks awesome.

  • I love working with non-profits!

    Please schedule a call here to see if we are the right fit for one another.

  • If you are just starting your business and…

    • Are unsure of your exact target market, but still need a foundational website to promote your services

    • Have the time to put in a bit of prep work

    • Have a smaller budget

    • Only need three pages (Home, About, Contact, Blog)

    …The 1-Day VIP website offer is perfect for you.

    We’ll write, build, and launch your website in one day.

    Check out my 1-Day VIP page for more info.

  • I am not a lawyer and do not provide legal advice. With this, it is likely your website is required to have (or would benefit from having) legal policies and ADA compliance. I offer support for both of these. See my website support packages for details and extended answers to key questions.

Check “new website” off your list.

As a business owner, you’ve got enough to do already. Let’s get this thing done. Here’s three ways working with me is different:

+ 1-on-1 Attention

You’ll work only with me. No handoffs to project managers, copywriters, or designers. I’ll do it all, with you and for you.

+ 14 Years of Experience

I’ve been designing on Squarespace since 2012, which allows me to work efficiently and quickly. All the better for you.

+ StoryBrand Certified

As a StoryBrand Certified Guide, I won’t make stuff up as I go. I follow the proven StoryBrand Marketing Framework for every project so you get a website that looks sharp, communicates clearly, and actually works.
