You are a business owner. You do everything, and you do a whole lot of it very well, but one person can only do so much! Learning to delegate is an important skill for every entrepreneur. Many things can and should be left to the professionals, which is why you may find yourself here looking for a web designer in Charleston, SC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dodeline Design<\/a> has been around since 2009, but founder Sarah Reed has been designing websites since long before that. She taught herself HTML at the age of 12 and started building websites for fun and eventually for her dad\u2019s small business. Check out this snapshot from over twenty years ago (obviously some stuff is not rendering correctly, but you get the idea\u2026) of one of the websites she built, courtesy of the Wayback Machine:<\/p>\n

After graduating from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in 2009, Sarah decided to go back to her web design roots now armed with the graphic design know-how she\u2019d learned in school. Just because it\u2019s fun to see where it all started and the Wayback Machine is a bit addicting, here\u2019s what www.dodelinedesign.com<\/a> looked like all the way back in early 2011\u2026<\/p>\n

While Dodeline still does all of those same things \u2013 a super fun card and product line over at shopsoutherngoods.com, website design, logo and branding and more \u2013 we\u2019ve grown up a lot since then. Having started Dodeline literally on the dining room table in a one bedroom apartment with absolutely no funds, Sarah and the team really understand what it\u2019s like to start and grow a small business.<\/p>\n

So when you need website design in Charleston<\/a>, Dodeline is the team you need! Before beginning the process, you\u2019ll sit down with Sarah to discuss your needs as a business owner and company. Some clients need more help than others and that\u2019s okay \u2013 we\u2019ll figure out what your needs are and go from there. Occasionally a team will need to be assembled \u2013 web designer (that\u2019s us!), social media expert, videographer and photographer \u2013 and sometimes we\u2019ll start small and build from there.<\/p>\n

After the needs have been identified, you\u2019ll receive a quote from Dodeline to design, build and create a website. Most clients have questions about what exactly a web designer does and what would be included in a website design process. Here are a few things you would expect to be included in a standard website build:<\/p>\n
