Website Design Services
What You Are Investing In By Hiring Me
-
Knowledge
I'm trained both as an artist and an effective communicator. I have degrees in both art & psychology. I have a clear visual aesthetic and an advanced ability to organize information to make it more easily and effectively understood.
-
Accessibility
I have a talent for translating technical language into concepts that regular people can understand. There is so much to know about the world of website design and many people find it very overwhelming. I can walk you through step by step and help you understand the process in language that you can relate to. I'm a good teacher and love to educate and empower my clients.
-
Safety & Security
Websites get hacked, servers go down, clients may forget to update their credit card information and sometimes lose their websites. I've seen it all happen and learned the best practices to prevent damaging or losing your website. I also keep track of all your login information, in case you are someone that struggles with that kind of thing.
Abby is THE BEST!!! She has helped me create 2 websites and an eCourse from scratch. She is kind, generous, patient, professional, and highly skilled at what she does. She consistently delivers quality and has this incredible ability to tune in and know what I want before I can fully articulate it. I have enthusiastically recommended her to half a dozen friends and they all have been blown away by her service. My colleagues and I consistently sing her praises and consider her an integral part of our achievements. 5 Stars!!!

I absolutely love working with Abby. She has helped me write the content for my website and also create my MailChimp newsletter. She is REALLY easy to work with, very giving, extremely flexible, and exceptionally kind.
I am very happy with the work that she's helped me with. I'm proud of my newsletter and website content. And I truly would never have gotten the two done without her help. I am so happy to have her as a support to my marketing.
I highly recommend that any business owner give Abby a try!

Abby just rocks so much. Her presentation when meeting is understated, receptive, and collaboratively creative. So much better than someone else trying to pin their creative vision on top of mine. She so far exceeded my expectations with my website, strategy for how to put the pages together, and designing the *exact* feel and tone that I wanted. She went out of her way to gently offer me feedback about the copy I wrote; delivering that type of feedback is an art and she did it very skillfully! I am really, really happy that she is "my" web designer. I recommend her without hesitation.

"I have benefited in so many ways from working with KojolaPower for my website and online presence. Frankly I was overwhelmed with the whole process, Abby helped me to define and refine what I do and how to offer it online. Abby's guidance, patience, humor and skill helped me to gain clarity on what I wanted in a web presence. Now I have an amazing website that reflects perfectly who I am and what I do, and I get to work with Abby monthly to grow my business and online presence, as I grow.
Abby Kojola is so much more than a webmaster and designer, she is a wise coach, fan and cheerleader, along with being highly professional returning emails, phone calls in a timely manner and being available when needed. I highly recommend KojolaPower."

What To Expect
If you like, I can give you feedback about how realistic your website goals are and what we might do to meet them. I can tell you if the functionality you desire is reasonable to implement or will require extensive web development. I can recommend the best hosting companies, email programs, ecommerce platforms, online scheduling programs, payment gateways, etc. and explain how we'll implement them.
-
Value
I own developer licenses to thousands of dollars worth of paid WordPress plugins & visual theme builders. That means I can install these extras on your website without additional cost to you. Paid themes & plugins are much better/safer than using free ones that aren't always kept up to date and typically offer little to no support.
-
A User Friendly Experience
Many clients spend too little time considering the user experience of those that will visit their website. Looking at your own business through fresh eyes is a skill. I spend time researching the many developing trends and different ways that different users consume information online and design your website to accommodate the various ways those in your target audience will likely navigate your website.
