What our clients have to say

Valerian has helped our organization think and operate more strategically and intentionally through their work on our website and other areas. I highly recommend working with Valerian if you want an incredibly caring and impactful client experience.

As a creative, it was vital for me to work with someone who understood the message behind my brand and could build the infrastructure to support it. While I was dreaming up wild web elements like falling confetti, Ben had a “we can make it happen” mindset that consistently put me at ease. It truly feels like magic to watch my websites come to life so quickly! My web presence feels more stable with Ben’s monthly maintenance packages, and it’s one less thing I have to worry about as a small business owner. Thank you, Ben!

Valerian was easy to work with and had great communication. They made an amazing website for us. Highly recommend!

Ben Daron and the team at Valerian made the vision in my mind a reality online. My dream was to have a website that represented who I was as a person. I wanted to have people feel like they were stepping into my home when they visited the site and Valerian delivered. They were able to take the bare bones I gave them and create a website that is “me”. The support and service they provide is outstanding. Valerian has been a delight to work with and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Valerian was great to work with! Our website hadn’t had an update for far too long, and Ben researched what we needed for how our insurance agency functions in the world of technology. I would recommend Valerian to anyone looking to upgrade, or to set up for the first time, for that matter.

FAQs

What’s the difference between Custom and Quickstart?

Our Quickstart process is an expedited service for clients with a short timeline or those who just need a simple informational site. Whether you are launching a new idea or refreshing your online presence, we can create a site that stands out. Here are some more details to give you an idea of what Quickstart websites entail:

Typically a single page but can be customized up to 5 pages.
Can be customized with a blog.
Limited revisions. Our content and design team creates your site based on best practices. Changes and revisions are limited to a 1-hour pre-launch call, but you’ll have full editing access after launch to make any other changes you’d like or you can engage our support team via retainer or on an hourly basis.

Custom websites are designed one-of-a-kind for each client and built from scratch to accommodate all the individual needs and preferences. If your site will have a lot of features or functionalities, or if your site requires 5+ pages, a custom website will be the way to go. Here’s what to expect from a custom site:

No limit on pages.
Can be customized with a blog or other custom post types (e.g. recipes, directories, resource libraries, jobs, events, calendars, etc.).
Collaborative design process. Our content and design team creates your site based on best practices, but there will be more chances to revise and weigh in. We’ll have review call(s) throughout the process to ensure it’s the site of your dreams!

How long does the process take?

For our Quickstart websites, we can turn your site around quickly: 3–4 weeks is typical for Quickstart.

For Custom, it typically takes approximately 1 week for every page on your site. This is an estimate as some pages are shorter and less complex than others. Any additional integrations or functionalities can extend this timeline.

Will I be able to make changes to my website after it launches?

Yes! We build all our sites on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, which is very intuitive and easy to use. We provide training videos to you as part of your website package so you have everything you need to make changes to your content and photos; you’ll even be able to add additional pages yourself if you choose to.

What if I don’t know what to put on my website?

We include the experts on our content team on all website projects to draft the content for you! You will fill out an intake form to gather some of the high-level business/organizational details and then have call(s) with the content team so that they can gather the information needed to draft your website content. You know your business, and our content team knows websites! We love a good team-up.

What should I do if I don’t have a logo or a brand guide yet?

We can help! We’ll provide you with multiple options to get help with these details, or you can always work with a designer of your choice. Having a logo and brand guide is crucial to the success of your website, so we do require them to begin design and development.

What if I need custom functionality or integrations?

We can likely support them! We build on WordPress which powers over a third of the websites on the internet. That means there are tons of pre-built integrations and functionality available to you. Let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll most likely be able to make it happen. We may have even done something similar before!

Why do I have to pay monthly?

There’s a lot that goes into keeping a website running smoothly and securely. Our monthly fee covers the required hosting and maintenance for your website. It also gives you access to our support team for hourly or retainer support.
