Imaginative website design for creatives and healers who are dreaming of a site with a spirit of its own

Hi, I’m Cecelia, professional daydreamer. Nice to meet you.

I’d love to make you a website.

MY APPROACH

If you’re anything like me, your small business is not just a business—it’s a calling, something you’re being guided to offer your community. And your website is the online face of that calling.

I bring the heart and soul of your small business to life on the screen. This process is gradual, relational, and collaborative. I only take on one client at a time so I can fully give each project the time it needs to gestate and emerge.

Your website should be beautiful and simple to use, while conveying the essence of the individual or collective it represents. This is my aim with every website I create.

Whether you’re looking to re-design an existing site or create a new website from scratch,

you’ve come to the right place.

THE PROCESS

  • The first step is getting to know each other and exploring your vision for your site. During a 30-45 minute free consultation, you'll share about your values, ethos, and mission, as well as any design ideas you already have. If you're seeking a re-design of an existing website, we'll talk through your likes and dislikes for your current site as well. This can happen in person (I love chatting over tea), or over a video call (I’ll probably still have tea).

  • I usually devote at least one month to each project, up to three months for more complex websites. During this time, I complete the visioning, designing, and web development stages of your website. My process is gradual and spacious, allowing the design to unfold organically with no rushing.

  • Next, we come back together to comb through your site and ensure it’s functional, beautiful, and true to the spirit of your small business. Everything I create for you is my creative suggestion, but you have the final say about everything on your website.

  • Once you are satisfied with your website, I will launch the site and our relationship will typically come to a close.

    Some folks choose to keep me on their team when there is a need for ongoing maintenance (such as a business with rotating workshops or special offerings). This can take many forms, and can be discussed at any point in the process.

MEET CECELIA

Hi, I’m Cecelia Sun. I’m a song-singing, poem-writing, sky-gazing, soft-spoken, heart-centered, beauty-making, trying-to-get-more-grounded human being.

I live on the forested banks of the Columbia River in SW Washington with my beloved wife and our rabbit. I’m a granddaughter, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a partner.

My life is made up of many threads woven together, including work as a pediatric healthcare provider; a student of energy medicine, animism, and earth-based healing practices; and a creative who dabbles in a little bit of everything from sewing to music to beading to web design.

 FAQs

  • Typically, Tier I and Tier II websites are ready for an initial launch about 4-6 weeks from our first consultation. Tier III websites may take up to 8-10 weeks or more, depending on the scope of the site. It's important to me (and I imagine you, too) for your website to beautifully represent you. You're investing a lot into this website - let's honor that by giving your project the space it needs to emerge.

  • I exclusively work with Squarespace at this time. One enormous benefit of this is that I can offer a 20% discount on your first year of web hosting. If you currently have a website and/or domain hosted elsewhere, I can help with the transfer to Squarespace.

  • Yes. From personal experience, I know that web design is not always in the start-up budget when you're considering starting a new venture! I typically ask for 50% of the agreed-upon fee as a deposit, and the remaining 50% at completion of your site. I'm happy to discuss alternate payment schedules as needed.

  • That's ok! We can figure it out together. If you can articulate your offerings, your personal values, and your vision for your business or brand, I can create a stellar website that represents all that.

  • Love it! I would be thrilled to hear your vision and can absolutely make it happen with you.

  • Yes, I can connect you with referrals for photography, graphic design, and can recommend other web designers who can create your website if I'm not a good fit for your needs for whatever reason.

    I can also connect you with folks who do adjacent work, such as space blessings/clearings for your work space.
