How I Work
Laurence’s approach is to listen closely to his clients for what they need. Then, Laurence does his best to bring their vision to life!
Once Laurence has reviewed your Design Request he will typically reach back to you within 48 hours and will schedule a free short (up to 30 min) phone conversation to discuss project.
Then, if you are interested, Laurence will send you a free estimate for your project. Laurence contracts most design or web work as a project flat rate fee.
The work is then produced in a few design stages until final and maintains a schedule.
Over the years, Laurence has learned how to ask the right questions to quickly create sketches and design solutions that match the client’s vision.
So, why design on Squarespace?
SIMPLE - it works! The template based, yet highly customizable, sites just look great and function very well, and it's easily managed from top to bottom (avoiding widgets and plugin concerns). Squarespace 7.1 has very streamlined and compelling contemporary features.
Each Squarespace site is responsive (mobile-ready) and equipped with strong SEO strategy elements; site descriptions, page titles, custom URLs, search-friendly formatting, and other key elements are all easily updated and managed.
Beyond this point, Squarespace 7.1 automatically generates a built-in sitemap that helps Google to crawl, understand, and then has the ability to rank a website.
Squarespace will also keep your site safe from hackers, allow you to easily edit text, images, blogs, and social media, provide automatic software updates, and enable you to sell online without the hassle of getting a security certificate, which is included on every Squarespace website.
How I make your website work optimally:
I make sure the site works well with Ease of Use, Smooth Functionality, and brand Style.
Cost:
VisualArtGraphics® will do the best possible to meet your project budget.
Hourly rate: For any additional requested custom work beyond scope of the flat project fee.
A hourly rate will be agreed upon with client before start of any work.

Laurence, founder of VisualArtGraphics.com®, would love to work with you! By working with Laurence to create or update and develop your company’s branding, you should notice a more visible foothold within your industry’s sector, attract more clients and have see more opportunity for growth.
Regarding Websites, each client’s website’s investment Level (levels 1 – 3) is organized as a package per the client’s needs, third party integrations, and e-commerce inclusion. The website is produced using the latest Squarespace 7.1 platform and is mobile optimized, ADA accessible, easily managed, and very secure.
It started with a logo design that really connected with the mission of our company. Laurence then started to develop my brand further with a new website and content based marketing in 2022.~ Laura Gates, CEO, owner, Gates Group LLC
