  • It depends on your type of career search. If you are pivoting your past experience to a new field, it’s a great idea to have all of your previous work packaged in a single place for potential employers and networking opportunities.

  • Start by booking an initial call with me. You don’t want to hire someone you’ve never met!

    We’ll go over your goals and needs in designing your career search materials, and I can make suggestions about add-ons or minimizing my design packages as necessary. Once you decide what you’d like to hire me for, you’ll submit 50% of the payment before I begin work. The other 50% is due after the final product is approved. Your digital products are delivered after the second payment.

    I only work with one client at a time—not only to ensure the focus and attention you deserve, but also because I know my clients need a quick turnaround time. My smallest packages can be done within a couple of days, and my biggest website building/branding packages are ready to use within two weeks.

    Have any other questions? Contact me and I’m more than happy to help.

  • With prepared job-seeking materials (resume, gathered portfolio, optimized LinkedIn profile), turnaround time is two weeks or less.

  • I only work with one client at a time, so each person has my full attention as we build a visual identity that will represent them as effectively as possible. A good personal brand is worth the time!

  • Your custom website will be built on Squarespace.

    Squarespace has the tools I need for customization and code, but a simple interface which will be easy for you to play with once I turn the website over to you. I’ll coach you on what you need to know to maintain your site, and you can easily book for me for an hour anytime after your included one-month support.

  • I won’t charge you for more than you need!

    If your site is hosted through Squarespace already, then I’ll subtract the hosting and domain cost from my rates. If your site/domain is hosted elsewhere, you will still be responsible for the costs involved with migration to Squarespace.

  • Hiring me means I’ll take care of the headache of domain registration and Squarespace setup for you. After the included term (either 3 months or 1 year), continuing costs for hosting* will be about $25 per month, or $280 per year (discounted for annual purchase). You can also choose to only pay for the domain* (your web address) for less than $20 per year and “park” your website.

    *Hosting: Running your website, it being available for the public to find and navigate.

    *Domain: Your web address (mine is riatova.com), think of owning this like a piece of virtual real estate.
