What We Offer…
At J-Bird, we know that artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses are made up of many different patches—talents, passions, services, and stories. Our role is to help you weave those pieces into a digital quilt that feels whole, intentional, and true to you. When your digital presence is organized and thoughtful, you don’t have to choose one part of yourself—you get to be all of them.
Our goal is simple: to support you as a whole human and business, so your digital presence feels less like a patchwork and more like a quilt—woven with care, consistency, and creativity.
How it Works…
Step 1: Vibe Check
We’ll start with a 30-minute chat (via Calendly on Google Meet, recorded through Fathom) or in person if location and schedule allow. If we can meet over coffee, we try to! This quick “vibe check” is about making sure we’re a good fit for one another before diving deeper.
Step 2: Strategic Follow-Up
About a week later, you’ll receive a follow-up email with my strategic recommendations and a rough draft of the work we discussed. This gives you time to review and ensures we’re aligned on direction before moving forward.
Step 3: Proposal & Kickoff
Once you approve the rough scope, I’ll send over a formal proposal through HoneyBook—a secure system for contracts, payment processing, and keeping everything organized. Typically, projects begin with a 50% deposit upfront and the remaining 50% due at completion.

Common Questions
Are your WordPress websites easy to edit?
Divi is a versatile and visually appealing theme with a user-friendly drag-and-drop builder, making it easy for non-technical users to create and edit content.
Utilizing a user-friendly editing system ensures that website owners and administrators can update content in house, saving ongoing costs and the need to involve a developer for updates.
Should you choose J-Bird for your web development needs, we include a custom walkthrough training video to ensure you can keep ongoing costs low and make edits internally!
How does Google PageSpeed affect my website?
Google PageSpeed is crucial for user experience and SEO. Faster-loading websites lead to better user satisfaction and higher search engine rankings.

How so I know if my domain is secure?
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypts data transmitted between the user and the server, ensuring secure and private communication. It’s crucial for user trust and SEO.
Best way to know if you have an SSL? Check your link to your website and make sure it has httpS:// versus http:// (without the S means the link is not secure).
What is mobile responsive design?
Mobile responsive design ensures that a website adapts and displays optimally on various devices, such as smartphones and tablets, providing an optimal user experience across different screen sizes.
Mobile responsiveness is crucial as a growing number of users access websites via mobile devices. It enhances user experience, improves search engine rankings, and ensures broader accessibility.
What is a tech stack?
A tech stack refers to the combination of technologies, tools, and frameworks used to build and operate a digital product, application, or platform. It includes everything from the front-end (what users see and interact with) to the back-end (the behind-the-scenes systems and databases that make it all work).
Think of it as the foundation and structure of a building—the tech stack provides the core components that bring a project to life, ensuring functionality, scalability, and a seamless user experience.
What's the average cost of a Landing Page?
The average cost of a landing page typically ranges from $1,250 to $2,500, depending on the features, functionality, and customization you’re looking for. This range reflects the level of design, development, and strategic elements required to make your landing page not just beautiful, but effective at meeting your goals. If you’d like to explore what works best for your needs, I’m happy to chat and provide tailored recommendations!

How can Google Profile Manager boost SEO?
A Google Profile Manager (previously known as Google My Business) improves local search visibility, provides essential business information, imagery for the business, FAQs, services, and allows customers to reviews.
What is the importance of Google Analytics?
Google Analytics provides valuable insights into website traffic, user behavior, and more. It helps in making data-driven decisions to improve performance.
What is an eCommerce?
eCommerce, short for electronic commerce, refers to the buying and selling of goods or services over the internet. It involves online transactions, digital payments, and the transfer of funds electronically.
Are there tools to check my website's SEO?
Yes, tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and third-party SEO tools like Moz or SEMrush can provide insights into your website’s SEO performance.
What is image size and SEO optimization?
Image optimization involves compressing and properly formatting images and media files to reduce file sizes without compromising quality. This could mean including keywords in the title, to alt text for accessibility, and captions.
Should I have a Google My Business profile?
How do I optimize my Google Profile Manager?
Optimization goes beyond just filling out the basics—it’s about leveraging features like photos, FAQs, booking links, posts for the business or promotions, and regular updates to engage potential customers and build trust.
A well-maintained GPM profile not only boosts visibility but also improves credibility, helping your business attract more customers and drive local success.
