Ivana is truly everything you'd need and more for anything website-related, whether it be web design, development, or optimization. Her knowledge knows no bounds. She patiently addressed all of my queries and offered helpful solutions. I've gained very valuable insights from her. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend Ivana to anyone needing website-related assistance.
I met Ivana, fortuitously in September 2023, at a time when I was embarking on some major changes to my business which included a rebrand and a new website. After numerous consults with other website designers I finally met Ivana and did not look back. I was impressed with Ivana's knowledge, professionalism and no nonsense advice. Within moments, Ivana had grasped what I was requiring and wanting. The process was seamless, enjoyable and delivered on time and budget.
I wholeheartedly recommend engaging Ivana Katz for anyone seeking to develop or refresh their website and who wish to have a continuing working relationship with their developer.
I cannot recommend Ivana enough.

Ivana was a breath of fresh air and perspective. She worked with me patiently until I was satisfied with my new webpage. Her knowledge is limitless and she was ready to help and guide me through my technological blocks (I have a few!), even months after the build was finished.
I highly recommend Ivana. She is super professional and caring, and created a beautiful space to showcase my business. Thank you Ivana!

I recently engaged Ivana Katz of Websites 4 Small Business to develop a new website for Elkera at https://www.elkera.com.au. I provided Ivana with a brief to set out my business objectives & the marketing functions expected from the website.
I selected Ivana's solution proposal based on her experience & focus on marketing solutions. I was not disappointed.
Ivana efficiently put together some site design options from which I selected the final design.
As the site was entirely new, Ivana had to wait for me to write enough content to build the site. Once that was done, the process went smoothly to review & then deployment. Ivana followed up to make some minor post deployment adjustments.
I am delighted with the result. Ivana has expertly interpreted my brief to provide a nicely designed site that fits my marketing plans.
I thoroughly recommend Ivana and Websites 4 Small Business.

WOW! I am so impressed with the website you have designed for me. As a Marriage Celebrant I wasn't sure what, or if, something was missing from my previous website. I think I was blessed when I found Ivana offering a free consultation, and a bonus was she is based in Australia. Thank you so much, Ivana, for sharing your knowledge and experience; for listening to the questions I had and offering content ideas to give me the website I really needed. I will definitely be recommending you to others.
I needed a website for a new business I have started, and I reached out to Ivana to assist - could not have been an easier process, and I am so happy with the resulting website and ongoing support as needed.

FAQs About Web Development
How long will it take to create my website?
The time it takes to create your website depends on a few things, like how complicated the design is, how many pages you want, and how quickly you give us feedback.
If you already have all the content ready, we can set up your website in about 7-10 days. But if we need to create special things like logos or add more complicated features like a shopping cart, it might take around 3-4 weeks.
To make things smoother, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and be clear about what you want on your website. This way, we can include everything during the design process and let you know how long it will take.
Knowing an approximate completion date helps us stay on track and ensures that we finish the project on time.

What should I include on my website?
The pages you include on your website will depend on the purpose of your site, your audience, and the content you want to showcase. However, some common pages that most websites should consider including are:
- Home page: This is the main page of your site and the first page visitors will see. It should provide an overview of your site’s content and purpose.
- About us: This page should provide information about your business, organization, or yourself. Include your background, mission statement, and any other relevant information.
- Products or Services: If you sell products or offer services, it’s important to have a dedicated page to showcase what you offer.
- Contact us: This page should include your contact information, such as your email address, phone number, and physical address.
- Testimonials: If you have satisfied customers or clients, showcase their testimonials on your site. This can help build credibility and trust with potential customers.
- Blog: If you plan to regularly create content, a blog can help you share your ideas and expertise with your audience.
- Privacy policy: This page should outline how you collect, use, and protect user data on your website.
- Terms and conditions: This page should outline the rules and guidelines that govern the use of your website.
- FAQ: A frequently asked questions page can help visitors find answers to common questions quickly and easily.
Of course, these are just some suggestions, and the pages you include on your site may vary depending on your needs.
How do I make my website stand out from the competition?
Making your website stand apart from the competition can help you attract and retain visitors, increase engagement, and ultimately achieve your website goals. Here are some tips to make your website stand out:
- Develop a unique brand identity: Use a distinctive color scheme, typography, and graphic design elements that reflect your brand and differentiate it from competitors.
- Create high-quality content: Offer informative, engaging, and well-written content that provides value to your target audience.
- Optimize your website for speed and user experience: A fast-loading and user-friendly website can help you retain visitors and reduce bounce rates.
- Use multimedia elements: Including multimedia elements such as images, videos, and infographics can make your website more engaging and memorable.
- Implement SEO best practices: Optimize your website for search engines to improve your search engine rankings and visibility.

Overall, the key is to focus on creating a website that offers a unique value proposition, engages your target audience, and provides an exceptional user experience. By doing so, you can make your website stand out from the competition and achieve your website goals.
How do I optimize my website for search engines?
Optimizing your website for search engines involves a range of strategies and tactics aimed at improving your website’s visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). While it’s best to leave the technical details of SEO to the experts, here are some basic suggestions to help you get started:
- Keyword research: Identify the keywords and phrases that your target audience is searching for and use them strategically in your website’s content, headings, and metadata.
- On-page optimization: Optimize your website’s content, headings, images, and URLs to make them search engine friendly.
- Technical optimization: Ensure that your website is technically optimized for search engines, including proper website structure, sitemap, mobile optimization, and website speed.
- Link building: Build high-quality, relevant links from other websites to your website to improve your website’s authority and search engine rankings.
- Content creation: Create high-quality, informative, and shareable content that can attract backlinks and social shares.
- Local SEO: If you have a local business, optimize your website for local search engine optimization by creating local business listings, getting local reviews, and using location-specific keywords.
- Analytics: Use analytics to track your website’s traffic, rankings, and user behaviour, and make data-driven decisions to optimize your website for better results.
Remember that SEO is an ongoing process, and it requires consistent effort and dedication to achieve and maintain good results. It’s always recommended to work with an experienced SEO professional to ensure that your website is optimized to its fullest potential.
Can I create the website myself?
While it is possible to create a website yourself, it requires a lot of technical knowledge and design expertise. It can be difficult and time-consuming to learn all of the necessary skills to create a successful website. Just like building a house requires technical skills and knowledge of construction methods, building a website requires technical skills and knowledge of web development, design, and search engine optimization.
If you don’t have the time or resources to learn all of these skills, it’s best to work with an experienced web developer or agency who can help you create a website that meets your goals and exceeds your expectations.
Your website is often the first impression that potential customers will have of your business and will judge your business by your website design skills.
A poorly designed website can make your business appear unprofessional or untrustworthy and can lead to potential customers leaving your website and choosing a competitor instead. On the other hand, a well-designed website can help to build trust with your audience, showcase your brand’s personality, and encourage visitors to engage with your business.
By working with an experienced web developer or agency, you can ensure that your website design is professional, user-friendly, and aligned with your business goals, helping you to make a positive first impression on potential customers.
If you really want to create your own website, we offer web design coaching, so that you can avoid making mistakes most entrepreneurs make when designing their own website.
