Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some our most frequently asked questions – if you don’t see yours below, feel free to contact us.
Building a website is a lot like building a house. Ask different people and you’ll get different answers — it is highly dependent on what you need. Most of our custom website projects are between $5000-15,000.
Our availability varies throughout the year, but we typically book projects 3+ months in advance. Every website design project takes approximately 8 – 12 weeks to complete; and are highly dependent upon client response time and project scope.
We accept all major credit cards (American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Discover) through Stripe and we also accept Paypal. Both are secure, and payments can be made via almost any major credit card, debit card, or bank account. Most projects require a retainer of 50% to schedule your project into our design/development queue, and the remaining 50% is due prior to launch.
Theme restyles and refreshes are usually a perfect fit for our VIP Day (one day) website offering, and are often not only faster, but much less expensive than a custom website – starting at $2000.
WordPress works best when your server is made to accomodate it. If you already own hosting and aren’t sure if your host offers the capabilities needed, we can investigate that for you. If you don’t have a host yet, and you don’t understand all the technical jargon, let us help you choose a host that is right for you, as there are some hosts we will NOT work with, due to slow response times and server issues.
We love WordPress because it is easy to use. The learning curve is small for general updates like adding pages and changing text, and we can have most clients up and running as needed with the free hour of training that is included in the price of every website. We also include basic video tutorials in case you forget what we have covered. If you need more extensive training, we are more than happy to provide that at our hourly rate.
Highly Responsive
I’ve worked with Karen for years. She is responsive, creative, and kind. Think of Karen as a web designer who has a knack for listening to what you really are after and offering solutions that you need. But offering those solutions in a way where you’ll feel heard, valued, and important. She delivers top notch products. I’d recommend her to anyone (and I have!).
David AchataSimply Amazing
Wow!!! If you need an expert designer for your website, or a superb designer for your next graphics project, Karen of Karen Lewis Creative is the person for you. Her company should be called SIMPLY AMAZING Designs! Not only is she prompt in her response and delivery (for her “on time” is early!), she also is tremendously gifted in design and strives to understand what you need. On top of that, she will share ideas, tips, and hacks that can help your business grow. PLUS…she is just FUN and encouraging! Value Added Service describes her approach to supporting her clients. Being introduced to Karen has been a game changer for us and I can’t help but recommend her in the highest and most glowing terms.
Reen WatermanNamed “Forbes Best”
My blog has been named by Forbes as one of the Best Websites for Women several times, and I attribute this not only to the content and material I provide, but the aesthetics of the blog. It was a pleasure working with Karen on the design and execution of my blog, both previous and current. We have worked together on the original design, and then the updated version. Each time I have found Karen to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful, informative and responsive. I highly recommend Karen for blog quality and maintenance.

I had the pleasure of working with Karen, a talented website developer who is prompt, kind, incredibly insightful, and compassionate about my brand. She guided me step by step through a detailed process, taking the time to truly understand my vision and goals for the website. The end result was nothing short of a masterpiece. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a professional and personalized online presence. Thank you for your dedication and expertise, Karen!
Sheryll MartinOwner, Maximizing Potential CCBest Web Designer
Karen redesigned my website a few years ago – it was my 3rd website in 5 and 1/2 years because of the lack of knowledge and design skills of the individuals/companies that had worked on it in the past. I’m extremely pleased with the way it turned out. She listened to what I wanted and brought my vision to life. I couldn’t be happier with the design and how professional the site looks. I’ve received a ton of compliments, and as a result of the new website, I have already landed a new client. I will definitely be working with them again in the near future. I would highly recommend Karen Lewis and Karen Lewis Creative to anyone I know.

Karen is amazing!!! I can not say how much I think of her and how much she has helped me in my business. I have been with her for 10 years and could not have done it without her!!!
She has created four websites for me across my businesses and has been an immense help across all of them.

Karen is so knowledgeable and happy to help in a pinch. She has saved us with design issues as well as technical problems when we were at our wit’s end. She is quick to respond and knows her stuff.
