About Me + My Work

I’m Krista- a versatile professional with 15+ years of experience on a mission to transform the way you show up online so you can build a business and life you love. I work with small business who are eager to establish or elevate their online presence but struggle with DIY learning curves. They need support that fits their current needs and budget but still delivers a significant impact.

I carved out a freelance niche in the space that exists between two extremes: 1) The wild expectation that entrepreneurs should also learn how to be creatives on top of all the other roles they play and 2) The wild expectation that every entrepreneur is in a position where they can afford a custom website. In my part-time role, my work centers on web design, digital content creation, copywriting, and creating marketing materials. I extend these skills into my freelance services, offering them independently.

When it comes to building beautiful websites, most of my partnerships are grounded in a semi-custom design process that kicks off with clients choosing from a selection of carefully curated templates to serve as the backbone for their website before I integrate all of their custom branding and content into the design.

Doing it this way unlocks access to high-converting websites that were strategically created by industry-leading designers at a fraction of the cost. This approach also gives you (the entrepreneur who is doing it all) your time back. You can invest your time, talent, passion, and expertise into what you do best while I build your website.

I’m “all in” when it comes to making you proud of the way you show up online. I know you want to work with someone who is good at what they do, who you can trust to help you, who understands you and what you have to offer - and that’s exactly how you can expect me to show up in a partnership.

Because "Live Life All In" is more than my web address, it’s my “M.O.”

My "Live Life All In" approach is a heartfelt tribute to my late husband, Joe, who was fully committed to living in the moment during his too-short time on this planet. After soaking it ‘all in’ each day, my two kids love to tell me all about their day (always), show off new dance choreo (sometimes), or provide me with Fortnite battle play-by-plays (as tolerated). Once the kids are asleep, you can find me in bed with a book or putting together a new Spotify playlist.

I can’t wait to create something together,

Krista Schrage

    Filling out a new project form is the best way for me to give an accurate estimate.

  • 01) Getting Started: See If We Click

    Start by completing a new project form so I can learn more about your project goals. I’ll follow up with you via email to:

    • Schedule a brief chat if either of us has any outstanding questions.

    • Ask that you complete a comprehensive Project Scope Questionnaire to help me understand all your goals and needs.

    • Or, refer you to someone amazing in my network if I’m not the best person for the project. 

    02) Project Scope + Proposal

    Completing the Project Scope Questionnaire is a crucial step that enables me to gather all the necessary information to draft a detailed proposal for your project AND create a stunning, strategic website that converts site visitors into customers. If you have any questions/concerns while completing the questionnaire (such as, “What is a domain migration?”), please don't hesitate to email me; I’m here to help.

    From there I will prepare a proposal that outlines the deliverables, timeline, and cost. Once you review, sign, and approve the proposal, we can move forward with planning your project.

    O3) Planning and Kickoff

    We will meet virtually to really dig into all the info you provided me on the Project Scope Questionnaire to ensure we’re on the same page about your goals, ideal clients, and mission. Anyone who will be involved in the revision process (asked to provide feedback or approve the final work product) needs to be present during this crucial planning meeting. Together, we will:

    • Define the aesthetic, functionality, and layout of your website.

    • Determine the best way for you to share your website's content (photos, written copy, etc.) with me (Google Drive, DropBox, etc).

    • Address any additional details necessary for your project.

    Then for me to truly break ground on the project and start work, you’ll need to fulfill the following requirements:

    • Provide all content for your website, including images, grammatically correct copy that reflects your brand, and any necessary graphics, illustrations, or icons.

    • Make a non-refundable, partial payment amounting to 50% of the total project cost.

    Once those two tasks are completed, I will confirm your project timeline with a delivery date/deadline and get to work!

    04) Website Reveal and One Week of Unlimited Revisions

    During this dedicated week of revisions, it’s important to set aside time to review changes and provide your input, ensuring we make steady and thoughtful progress. We'll kick off this phase with a virtual meeting where we will:

    • Walk you through your new website.

    • Exchange feedback and discuss changes to be made.

    After this initial meeting, any straightforward adjustments and minor changes will be communicated via email. 

    "Unlimited Revisions" includes tweaks and adjustments that stay within the scope of our initial agreement. Please note that substantial changes- like altering the entire color scheme or replacing all of the images that were provided to me initially with new ones- may incur additional fees that would be agreed upon before proceeding.

    After your final approval and the receipt of the remaining payment, I will guide you through the process of transferring the website to your control.


    05) Launch! 

    Congratulations! Your new site is live!

    Always know that when you’re ready to add new content or refresh your look, you can contact me to do so at an hourly rate. 

  • Here’s What You and I Can Expect from Each Other in a Working Partnership:

    Respect

    Mutual respect is the cornerstone of any successful partnership. I commit to valuing your time, opinions, and vision, and I expect the same in return. Respect means listening carefully, responding thoughtfully, and treating each other with kindness and professionalism.

    Transparent and Effective Communication

    Clear and honest communication about your needs and desires is crucial for achieving the best results. From the outset, I encourage you to share your goals and any specific requirements. Effective communication is also key to a productive process. This means responding promptly to requests for information or feedback so we can keep the project on track and on schedule.

    Meaningful Feedback

    Constructive feedback is essential for refining the project and ensuring it meets your vision. I welcome your honest input and will provide thoughtful, professional feedback in return. This exchange helps us fine-tune the design and functionality to ensure it resonates with your target audience and achieves your goals.

    Accountability

    If I make a mistake, I will own up to it and work diligently to correct it. If I don’t have an immediate answer or solution, I’ll be honest and work to figure it out. I appreciate the same transparency from you. Addressing issues openly allows us to find solutions quickly and move forward.

    By adhering to these principles, we’ll build something truly special together. I’m “all in” when it comes to making you proud of the way you show up online. I’m excited to get started!
