FAQs
My business needs a new website. Are you able to build me a custom website?
Absolutely! I introduced this service for all those projects that don’t quite require a full website build, but would still benefit from the input and skillset of an experienced WordPress pro. If you’re an established company looking for a website revamp, then check out my custom website design and build services. If you’re a self-starter or need your website up like now, and just want something off the shelf that you can self-edit, then my website in a week templates are for you.
Can I update my WordPress website after launch?
Yes you can! I’ll send you a personalised video walkthrough showing you exactly how to update each page and tweak your site like a pro. But if tech isn’t your love language, I’ve got you covered – book a Design Day (half days available too!) and I’ll tackle your to-do list for you. Or, for ongoing monthly support, check out my hosting & maintenance packages and let me handle the heavy lifting.
What if I don't have a logo, font or colour palette?
I really like a competitors website? Can you copy that?
Love that you’re inspired. But copying? That’s a no from me. I respect other designers’ work and won’t duplicate their magic. If you’re obsessed with a site, reach out to the original designer and ask about their copyright and development policies. In the meantime, I’ll help you channel the vibe you love into a fresh, bold design that’s 100% yours.
Social Media Support - Do you manage my social media accounts for me?
Not necessarily. My services are designed to empower you, not take over. I’ll help you build a strategy, create content, and stay consistent, but you’ll be the one posting and engaging. That said, I do offer full social media management to a limited number of clients. If you’re interested, check out my Social Media Done For You page.
Brand Photography - Do you do you brand photoshoots in a studio or on location?
Both! Different shooting spots give your brand different vibes, depending on your brand’s goals. Studio Shoots Daz’s in-house studio is perfect for clean, controlled setups. Ideal for product photography where precision and consistency matter most. Think about the images you see on online stores, on product packaging, or social media content that have a crisp, professional look. The studio gives us full control over lighting, angles, and styling. Location Shoots On the flip side, we absolutely LOVE shooting on location. These sessions are all about capturing lifestyle vibes, real-world context, and emotional connection. Think about showing your product/brand in real life – being used, worn, or enjoyed in natural environments. These kinds of images tend to get more engagement because they feel authentic and relatable. We’ll work with you to decide what suits your next campaign best. You’ll often find a mix of both gives you the strongest visual toolkit. Studio shots keep things clear and pro, while lifestyle shots help tell your story and make a splash.
Brand Photography - Do I send my products to you, or do you come to me?
Either works! If you’ve got models and a fab location ready, I can come to you. Or, pop your products in the post and I’ll handle the rest – strategy, shoot setup, props, and all the creative magic. I’ve got a treasure trove of styling tools to make your brand shine. And if you’re creating products in a warehouse or on location? Even better. That’s the perfect place to capture behind-the-scenes content – the day-to-day, the hustle, the heart. It contrasts beautifully with polished campaign shots and reminds your audience that real people are behind the magic. Because people buy from people, and showing the work that goes into your brand builds trust, connection, and serious scroll-stopping power.
Brand Photography - Do I need to be there on shoot days?
Not unless you want to be! Daz and I can take care of everything, from location strategy and styling to shooting and editing. But if you love being hands-on or want to be part of the creative process, you’re absolutely welcome to join the fun.
Social Media Management - How far in advance do we plan seasonal campaigns?
At least three months ahead. That gives us time to brainstorm, shoot fresh content, and build a campaign that feels intentional, not rushed. Whether it’s Christmas sparkle or summer launches, we prep early so you can shine on time.
Can I mix and match social media and email marketing services?
Absolutely! Many clients pair a monthly management package with seasonal email campaigns. We’ll tailor the mix to suit your goals, whether you’re launching something new or nurturing your audience between offers.
How does your email marketing service work?
I plan, write, design, and schedule your campaigns so you don’t have to lift a finger. If we’re already working together on social media, we’ll use the fresh visuals from your quarterly or campaign photoshoots. If we’re starting with email only, I’ll ask for product or service photography during the strategy phase to keep everything on-brand. I work within your existing email marketing system, whether it’s MailerLite, Flodesk, Klaviyo, or something else. So you stay in control and have full access to every campaign, graphic, and piece of copy. I jump in, get everything set up, and make sure your emails look gorgeous and land with impact.
