YOUR WEBSITE IS LIVE. BUT IS IT WORKING?
Getting a website online has never been easier. But having a website and having one that actually works for your business are two very different things.
Maybe it looks good but isn’t bringing in inquiries. Maybe customers aren’t finding what they need. Maybe the message no longer reflects the business you’ve built. Or maybe you’ve simply reached the point where you know your website should be doing more.
That’s where experience matters.
A successful website isn’t just a collection of attractive pages. It takes strategy, thoughtful design, clear messaging, and an understanding of how people actually use a website. Sometimes that means improving what you already have. Sometimes it means starting fresh.
Either way, we’ll figure out what isn’t working and build a better way forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What platform do you use to build websites?
I build websites with WordPress, choosing the tools that make the most sense for your business and your website. I’m not tied to one theme or page builder. The goal is a professional, flexible website that works well today and can grow with your business.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes. Your website will be built so you can handle everyday updates without calling a developer every time you need to change a photo or edit some text. I’ll also show you how to manage the parts of your website you’re most likely to update.
Do I need to purchase any themes, plugins, or licenses?
It depends on what your website needs. If a premium theme, plugin, or other licensed software is recommended, I’ll explain why and what it costs before we use it. Any ongoing costs will be clear before your project begins.
Can you work with the website I already have?
Absolutely. Not every website needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Sometimes better structure, clearer messaging, improved design, or technical changes are enough to make a significant difference. We’ll look at what you have first and determine the best way forward..
What if my website was built with AI or a website builder?
That’s fine. How your website was created matters less than whether it’s doing its job. I can look at the design, structure, messaging, search visibility, and overall user experience to determine what’s working, what isn’t, and whether it makes sense to improve the existing site or start fresh.
Is SEO included?
Every website is built with a solid SEO foundation, including thoughtful page structure, headings, mobile usability, search-friendly content organization, and the technical basics search engines need. SEO is an ongoing process, but your new website won’t launch with search as an afterthought.
How long does a website take?
My Website in a Week service is designed to move from kickoff to launch in one focused week. The key is preparation: I’ll let you know exactly what I need from you before we begin so we can spend that week building instead of chasing down content and information.
What happens after my website launches?
You won’t be handed a website and wished good luck. Website in a Week includes three months of support and training, so you have time to get comfortable with your new site, ask questions, and make sure everything is working the way it should.
Do you provide hosting?
I can help you determine what hosting setup makes sense for your website and make sure the technical pieces are properly connected. You’ll retain ownership and control of your domain, hosting, and other essential accounts.
Hi, I’m Patti.
I’ve been designing websites and brands for small businesses for more than 20 years. Long before AI could generate a website in minutes, I was helping business owners figure out what their websites actually needed to say, how they needed to work, and how good design could help them grow.
Technology has changed a lot since I started Big Max’s Studio in 2001. Good design hasn’t. Neither has the need for clear strategy, thoughtful communication, and a website built around the people who will actually use it.
I bring a designer’s eye, years of web experience, and a practical approach to every project. I’m not interested in adding bells and whistles because we can. I want your website to look like your business, make sense to your customers, and do its job.
