STEP 6

Ongoing Support

Image & Asset Note:

Custom graphics, icons, illustrations, copywriting, and specialty imagery are not included unless specifically estimated. Wix includes a free image library, or you may provide your own brand assets and imagery. Content may be AI-assisted and should be reviewed by the client before publication.

"My goal is simple: make the website process feel approachable, organized, and transparent. From our first conversation to launch day, you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s needed next, and where your project stands."
