A small business website earns its keep when it turns a visitor into a customer. If you sell products, that means a fast Shopify store built to check out. If you run a service, that means a custom-coded site built to get booked, quoted or called. Either way, one designer plans the whole thing around how your own customers say yes, starting at $249.
Collections, tags and product pages set up so a visitor lands on the exact item they searched for, not your homepage.
The information a buyer needs before they trust a small shop with their card, laid out where they actually look for it.
A cart and checkout flow that does not lose people between "add to cart" and "order confirmed."
Shopify means you can add products, run sales and check orders without calling a developer every time.

So a visitor searching for one specific thing you do lands on the page that answers exactly that, not a general services list.
Local customers decide fast. Photos of real jobs and real reviews do more convincing than another paragraph of copy.
Whatever your customers already use to reach you, the site is wired to it so nobody has to think twice about the next step.
No monthly platform fee. A custom-coded site loads fast, and you host it wherever you like.

Digital strategy
I have a bachelor’s degree in web design, and I have run my own product shop, Marie Gems, on Shopify for three years. I design, build and connect every site myself, so the person who plans your Pinterest and search strategy is the same person who built the page it sends people to.
More about the studio“Working with Marie has been one of the best investments I’ve made for my business.”
“Working with Marie has been one of the best investments I’ve made for my business. From our very first conversation, she communicated with me every step of the way and made the entire process feel easy and manageable. Marie was incredibly patient when explaining things I didn’t understand and was always responsive whenever I had a question. The finished website is professional, easy to navigate, and visually stunning. It truly feels like my brand and represents my business in a way I’m proud to share.”
“If I could give a million stars I would because 5 stars is just not enough!”
“She helped me with all of my website needs as well as my Etsy page, stickers, business cards, ECT. Any time I had a question and is was a BUNCH she was so helpful and never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. She took the time to explain what was going on and how to do things. She was so patient with me when I needed to learn how to upload items to my shop. She always went the extra mile. If I could give a million stars I would because 5 stars is just not enough! If you are in need of help with your business you have come to the right place..”
“She did my website and I highly recommend her! She works with you on what you want and brings it to life!”
No. Shopify is the right platform for an online store, so product businesses build there. Service businesses usually do better with a fast, custom-coded site connected to their booking tool, quote form or phone number. The business decides the platform, not the other way around.
Start with the Website Starter at $249 if you need one clear, professional page live fast, no e-commerce required. Move to the Complete Website & Brand Identity Package at $1,497 if you are launching or relaunching a full store or a multi-page service site with branding included.
Yes. Upgrade to the Complete Website & Brand Identity Package within 6 months of your Starter purchase and $100 of what you paid is credited toward it.
You provide the copy for the Website Starter. The Complete Package can include copy support depending on the project. Either way, nothing goes live without your review.
Tell me both during intake. Most hybrid businesses still lead with one path, usually checkout or booking, and the site is built around whichever one makes you the most money.
A few lines about your business is plenty. I read every message myself and reply within one to two business days with an honest recommendation, even if it is the smallest option.
