How I Prioritize Understanding my Clients: Asking, Listening, and EmpathizingI begin each project by gaining a solid understanding of who my client is, what they do, and why they do it. This helps me create strategic web design solutions that effectively communicate their desired messages and express their unique brand identity. I collaborate with my clients using a process of discovery that requires patience, experience, and effective communication. I involve my clients every step of the way, incorporating feedback at each stage until the design is finalized to their satisfaction.

Can I expect any additional costs?Wix & Squarespace both have annual hosting fees. You can view their pricing here (Wix) and here (Squarespace). There are often sales on Wix websites during the process of development. You will also need to purchase a domain, if you don’t already have one. With a new website subscription the domain is generally free for the first year and approx. $20 per year there after. Depending on the features required on your website you may need an advanced monthly plan, scheduler and e-commerce programs for example. Additional website pages $150 each. Photography studio spaces in the Hamilton area are usually between $100-$150 per hour. (A studio space is not always needed for website photography and will be a personal choice).

Meet Krystal
I go by Mom, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Auntie and Cousin.
I am a mom of two very busy little boys and love spending my evenings running around the house or backyard with them. When I'm not picking up tiny legos, wiping noses or getting stains out of the carpet, you can find me dreaming up strategies and making lists upon lists of goals and To Do's.
KN Creative Marketing started to come to life after my second son was born. I started creating logos and packages, then covid hit. In October of 2021 I finally had the opportunity to take a leap of faith and got my first client. When I say it's been a whirl wind I'm not kidding. In my first year of business I helped 33 small businesses reach their digital marketing goals.
I have a strong background in sales and marketing but really hit my stride when I started my marketing career about 15 years ago. I left my corporate gig to experience the freedom and pride of running my own successful marketing company. I want the same for your business.
My goal is to help small businesses succeed and grow like I have. When you're ready I can help you too.
It Matters
At KN Creative Marketing, I believe that everyone deserves to have a website and branding that represents their unique identity and voice, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ability. I am committed to creating digital products that are accessible and inclusive for all individuals and businesses.
Cultural sensitivity: I respect and honor the cultural differences and beliefs of my clients and strive to incorporate them into their website design, if requested.
Collaborative approach: I work collaboratively with my clients to create websites that truly reflect their voice, values, and personality.
Safe space: I provide a safe space for my clients to voice their concerns and feedback without fear of judgment or discrimination.
I am committed to promoting inclusivity in my work and will continue to learn and improve my skills and knowledge to better serve all individuals and businesses.
KN Creative Marketing is a place where everyone's vision can come to life.
To promote inclusivity in my work, I have established the following policies:
Accessibility: I design and develop websites that meet accessibility standards, including making sure they are easy to navigate for people with disabilities and are compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies, if requested. See my accessibility statement here.
Non-discrimination: I do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ability in any aspect of my work.
