Insights from past clients.

  • Go for it and invest!

    Not just in making a new website but in yourself, your vision, your worth, and in Ottilie. She sees and hears you with quiet clarity and such knowledge about her craft. You will be the co-pilot on your journey with her, and I could not recommend her enough.

    It's vital to trust who you are working with on such a personal and vital part of your business. Ottilie is the woman for the job!

    Heidi Hinda

  • Ottilie is genuinely a pleasure to work with

    It is hard work but the time it saves you and the growth generated for your business more than makes up for it.

    She knows you are trusting her with your baby and she takes care of it as if it's her own.

    Sarah Duffield

  • Absolutely worth your time and money

    Take a leap of faith and book in with Ottilie (before someone else does, let’s face it) it’ll be absolutely worth your time and money without a doubt.

    The Cob Barn

  • A guaranteed positive outcome

    On a scale of 1-10 how much better will you feel at the end of your website design process if you know that the effort you are putting in yourself could be doubled or tripled in its value.

    Amanda Duke

  • Enjoy the ride!

    The world is digital. If you want to have a personal, professional, and powerful online presence Ottilie Ruth has the talent to create this.

FAQs


All the answers.

  • Squarespace is one of the leading website creating platforms with design and usability at its heart. It is ideal for almost all small businesses and is intuitive to use.

    Squarespace has excellent mobile functionality. It scales up well if, in the future, you need an online shop, more pages or different functionality these can all easily be added.

  • The design slot depends on the demands of your website size and the amount of bespoke coding work required.

    The pre-work of gathering your content, images and filling in the questionnaires take some deep thinking.

    I suggest leaving at least four weeks to complete these ahead of the design slot.

  • This is a one-to-one service and you are my only design client during your design slot. This allows me to respond quickly to your needs and questions, and fully immerse myself in your business story.

    I can connect to your visual brand and translate this into your custom-made website without the distraction of other projects.

  • My whole process is remote. This means, from The Netherlands to New Zealand, I am able to work with you where ever you are.

  • Absolutely this is for you. There are no silly questions, jargon or judgement.

    My process is specially designed for all levels of tech know-how. This is a one-to-one service, meaning I am able to quickly respond to any Qs that may arise and support you with any techy bits (a technical term… ).

    After your launch, you have access to my self-paced Squarespace course.

    This contains short tutorials covering every aspect of your new website, allowing you to follow along step-by-step when learning how to make edits or action updates in the future.

  • As you commit to your website there are some ongoing running costs that are not included in my design fees.

    You will pay Squarespace between £10 and £30 a month depending on your website’s needs (eCommerce functionality etc). You will receive a 20% discount on your first year of subscription fees as I am part of Squarespace’s professional network.

    Additionally, domain fees are separate from what you pay Squarespace for the website service and depend on the domain name as to their cost. I will guide you through choosing the best Squarespace plan and domain option for your website if you do not already have one.

  • If you are after a one page / very small website or if you already have existing branding that you would like me to use, please still do get in touch.

    We can discuss what you are after and if it falls within my remit I’ll provide a tailored quote.

  • After a no-obligation Discovery call, I will send over a contract and 50% deposit invoice for you to consider for as long as you wish.

    On receipt of your returned contract and invoice your design slot will be secured in my calendar and you’re officially on the books!

    I’ll share my welcome pack and all the supportive materials with you to begin gathering your content.

  • If you can’t find the answer to your questions here in my FAQs, get in touch and I’ll do my best to furnish with you the information you’re after.
