Crystal continues to help us fine-tune the website with her technical skills and awesome ideas. Crystal is amazing. She’s creative, a fantastic communicator, and lots of fun to work with. She did everything she said she would do, and in a timely way. I highly recommend her…

I like Crystal. She took our membership website and made it go from “meh” to “WOW”, increasing membership levels almost overnight. She’s a smart lady with an eye for design. Glad we hired her.

“I’m working on a display design now…… we sold a 10′ RPL display to a real estate videography company today…
That is one of your listings! Good job, Crystal.
Apparently it’s working.”

Daniel A. Riley, Trade Show Joe

Going with Crystal was one of the best business decisions I ever made! Crystal is a gifted graphic artist with an amazing talent for web design. She made the web design process easy and enjoyable. Fast forward four years and I am still using Crystal for her graphic and web design services.

Dr. Jeannine Bennett, Vision to Purpose

We were extremely impressed with Crystal’s understanding of SEO. In fact, we’re already experiencing the benefits of implementing SEO-optimized content throughout the website with organic search results as a % of web traffic continuing to grow.

When should I use capitals in my website?2024-01-30T14:22:59-06:00

Capitalization is an important aspect of writing, and using it correctly on your website contributes to clarity and professionalism. Here are some general guidelines for when to use capitals in titles and sentences on your website:

Titles and Headings:

  1. Title Case for Headings:
    • Capitalize the first and last words of the title.
    • Capitalize all major words in the title, including important words like nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
    • Do not capitalize articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or), and prepositions unless they are the first or last word in the title.

    Example: “The Art and Science of Web Design”

  2. Sentence Case for Subheadings:
    • Capitalize the first word of the subheading.
    • Capitalize proper nouns and adjectives.
    • Keep the rest of the words in lowercase unless they are proper nouns or adjectives.

    Example: “The Importance of User Experience in Web Design”

Sentences in Body Text:

  1. Start of Sentences:
    • Always capitalize the first word of a sentence.

    Example: “Web design plays a crucial role in creating an engaging online experience.”

  2. Proper Nouns:
    • Capitalize proper nouns, including names of people, places, and specific brands or products.

    Example: “John started his own web design company in New York.”

  3. Titles and Headings within Text:
    • Capitalize the major words if you are using title case within your text.

    Example: “Our Web Design Services offer a range of solutions for your business.”

  4. Acronyms:
    • Capitalize all letters in acronyms.

    Example: “HTML and CSS are essential for modern web development.”

Calls to Action:

  1. Action Phrases:
    • Capitalize verbs and important action words in calls to action.

    Example: “Sign Up for Our Newsletter” or “Shop Now”

  2. Important Notices:
    • Capitalize words that you want to emphasize in important notices or warnings.

    Example: “Important: Read Our Privacy Policy Before Proceeding”

Exceptions:

  1. Stylistic Choices:
    • Some brands or websites may choose to adopt a specific style, even if it deviates from standard rules. Ensure consistency throughout your content.

    Example: “Explore the New Collection” (Where every word is capitalized)

  2. Informal or Creative Contexts:
    • In more creative or informal contexts, you might choose to play with capitalization for emphasis or style.

    Example: “Unleash Your Creativity with Our Design Tools”

Remember, consistency is key. Choose a style and stick with it throughout your website to maintain a professional and polished appearance.

What types of payment do you accept?2022-03-16T18:14:04-05:00

Forms of Payment

We accept cash, check, bank and credit cards through Paypal.

Checks will need to clear before the project begins. We will also consider some full and partial trade/bartering offers. If you are interested in this as an option please mention it before we begin to work on your project. We have a wide range of interests, so please feel free to contact us if you believe you have something to offer for trade or partial barter.

What tools do you commonly use in a website project?2022-03-16T14:18:16-05:00

Photoshop, WordPress, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and the Avada or Porto theme.

What plugins are included?2022-03-16T14:50:29-05:00

Most of our newer WordPress websites include the following plugins:

  • Avada Core
  • Avada Builder & Branding
  • Slider Revolution
  • LayerSlider
  • Yoast
  • Events Calendar
  • Securi Security
  • Classic Editor

Other plugins can be added/connected but there may be an hourly charge depending on the plugin and amount of support needed.

There are a lot of other similar plugins available for Shopify clients.  Just let us know what your needs are so we can provide information and a quote, if needed.

What is the normal time frame for you to complete a store design project?2022-03-16T18:12:45-05:00

The time it takes to finish a project varies from project to project and person to person. If our communication is very good and I’m able to get the look you want a reasonable time frame will be as such:

A 3-5 page website project normally takes me 1-3 weeks to complete depending on the amount of customizations needed. Graphic design projects usually take me a 2-5 business days. I will try to have a sample to show you within the first week no matter what project it is. There are some instances that I may be delayed but I will be in constant communication with you so you are reassured I’m still “on the job”.

My passion is to provide you quality before speed but rest assured, if you take a look at my extensive feedback history, I’m not the type of person that likes to have my customers waiting on me at all.

If time is of the essence please email me and ask if there will be any delays and what time-frame you can expect to have your project completed, as again it all depends from project to project and person to person.

What do I need to provide you to get started?2022-03-16T18:26:44-05:00

After deciding which services you’d like to hire me for based off of a custom quote I would then kindly request a full or partial payment in order to reserve time for your projects needs. After receiving payment I would then send you a questionnaire form to fill out. I will need you to fill this questionnaire out as thoroughly as you can. The more information you provide me, the better!

I will also need you to send me any pictures and/or information you want included in your design. If you do not have quality pictures that you would like me to use I would then strongly recommend you researching to find some wonderful royalty free photos from iStockphotos to be used within your design. I can help you with recommendations if needed or desired.

Quick questions and answers that help designers provide a good quote2022-03-16T18:21:15-05:00

I’m always looking to give my customers the best quote possible so knowing what work is involved really makes a difference!  Here are some questions I commonly ask new clients before I provide them a project quote:

What service/s are you considering hiring me for?

    • WordPress Website Design
    • Shopify Website Store Design
    • Logo Design and/or Logo Branding
    • Labeling, CD/DVD or Packaging Design
    • Social Media Banner Cover Designs
    • other (please be specific)

How would you like your design to look?

What kind of products do you sell or plan to sell / if any?

How many pages are you interested in having me custom design for you?

page examples could be

  • Homepage
  • About Us
  • Contact Us
  • FAQS
  • Category Page
  • Product Page
  • other (please be specific)

Are there any special features or functions you would like it to have?

Is there a design or a website page that you admire, or some things about it you like a lot?  If so, please send me a link so I can get an idea of what kind of look of functionality you are interested in having.  This step actually helps a LOT.


For print marketing inquiries I also ask these important questions:

  • Is there a specific size or file type (such as psd, pdf, eps, ai, other) you need the design to be in?
  • Do you have a template outline for me to use that your printing company has provided you?
Our Process, Start to Finish2022-03-16T18:18:43-05:00
If I hire you now can I wait to proceed?2022-03-16T18:21:33-05:00

We have no problem waiting to begin your project if you need a little time to plan things out. Hiring us now might save you money in the long run as we are likely to raise our prices in the near future. Our objective is like most everyone’s; work less and get paid more. We too would love to spend more time with our families regardless of our love and addiction for design!

How often can I expect to hear from you if I hire you?2022-03-16T14:20:56-05:00

Crystal Calhoun is a very fast and positive communicator with years of experience and a passion for making clients happy. On a work day you can expect to hear back from her within minutes, sometimes a couple hours, depending on the workload.

Do you provide professional stock photos?2022-03-16T14:37:13-05:00

Yes! We have 1000’s of photos available to use on any project, whether it’s a website or graphic design project. If you prefer to use specific photos then you might need to purchase them (if there is a fee) and supply them to us. Let us know if you need recommendations before buying.

Do you provide domain names and website hosting?2022-03-16T14:15:17-05:00

Yes! Made To Be Unique is a reseller for Godaddy. This means we can offer you much lower rates than what you find even on the Godaddy homepage. You’ll get the same hosting quality, same excellent customer service, but at a much lower rate. There’s even the option to add a professional business email to your hosting account. Just let us know what your needs and interests are and we’ll provide you a custom quote. Or you can visit: besthosting.madetobeunique.com to compare rates and packages.

Do you provide content writing for web pages?2022-03-16T14:33:46-05:00

Yes we provide this as an additional service. Please let me know what you have, if anything, and what you need as it relates to web page content, so we can accommodate you.

Do you outsource your work?2022-03-16T15:27:30-05:00

Made To Be Unique was founded by Crystal Calhoun. Crystal has over 15 years personal experience and designs all of the websites for her clients.  So there is no outsourcing for website designs.  If clients need help with content writing then I’ll call upon my partner, Jeannine Bennett of visiontopurpose.com, for her professional writing support. Christian Calhoun will also help with logo designs and vector illustrations from time to time.

Do you make your own website template?2022-03-16T18:12:25-05:00

I use trusted website templates (themes) that developers have created and perfected over the course of many years. Then I customize it to be completely unique for each of my clients. So yes, it is a unique design when complete, but the foundation of it is a well thought out theme created by professional theme developers. Using Shopify or WordPress requires certain layouts and CSS coding tricks that I’m not too crazy about, so I allow the templates to do the foundation work (coding) for me while I do the design and layout part of the project, using beautiful pictures, colors and custom advertisements… The part I love most.

I used to create 100% custom designs using HTML and light CSS, but I found that using pre-made themes especially in WordPress allowed my customers a lot more freedom to edit and add to their own website, which is a feature most of my clients really appreciate.

Do you accept partial payments?2022-03-16T18:14:22-05:00

Yes we do!  We offer easy installment payment plans to those interested.  They are great if you are on a tight budget but still want a great website, or need help with advertising services.

Please understand that we work for the amount that we’ve been paid for first.  We do not accept final payments after the project is complete, but rather before the project is complete.  Please contact us with any questions about this or to inquire about specific installment arrangements.  Thanks!

Can you help me with regular updates and maintenance?2022-03-16T14:31:46-05:00

Yes, absolutely! We offer different monthly packages.  Just let us know how much help you want each month and we can provide you a unique quote. Let us take the stress of learning a new application and all the kinks that come with it, off your shoulders! We help with updates, new posts, new pages, spam protection, SEO and even social media marketing! You can click here to learn more about this service.
