I’ve been creating websites for twelve years now, and I believe the most efficient way to get a powerful, beautiful, and functional website is to combine WordPress with the Catalyst Theme / Framework. It’s powerful, smart, and easy to manage.
WordPress provides the engine, the content management system, for your site and the Catalyst Framework facilitates the design and layout of your site. I provide two WordPress + Catalyst Framework packages that you can read about below.
Customize Catalyst Skin + WordPress + Training
Option 1:
We use Catalyst Theme as the framework for your WordPress powered site + a free or commercial Catalyst Skin. The Catalyst Skin will create your layout and design elements and then we customize with your colors, logo, and images.
- Customize Catalyst skin with your colors, logo, and design images.
- Word Press installed and configured.
- Site configured – Main pages (home, about, services, contact, etc. up to 8 pages) and site navigation created, needed plugins installed and configured, Google Analytics and Feedburner set up and installed.
- Training – I teach you how to use WordPress, so you can add your site content. Includes 45 days access to a library of training videos, where you can learn how to manage your WordPress powered site + 4 ten minute personalized screen casts for how to manage specific aspects of your site.
- Mobile enabled (Users can view your website on a PC, Tablet or Mobile phone)
- 14 day email support after your site goes live
Cost: $880 (includes licensed copy of Catalyst theme for your site domain. Does not include cost of commercial Catalyst Skin, which generally costs $19 to $39)
Note: this does not include logo creation. If you do not yet have a logo, I highly recommend 99 Designs.
Support or services in addition to what is provided above are available at $65 per hour.

What Clients say
I knew what I wanted, but could someone else really capture the image I wanted to convey in my website?
When I was in management at the Smithsonian and other places, I directed a lot of award-winning design. As I was launching my own business, I wanted an elegant, beautifully designed and developed site. I could not have found a better designer.
Kalanit Design Studio created a site that I am so proud of. I have it on view during all of my sessions and workshops. I have received accolades for its beauty and functionality from people all over the world. Perhaps best of all, Yael is a joy to work with; our ideas came together with ease and delight
