• Include a downloadable PDF of your CV.
• Showcase your guest or crew menus.
• Link to your other social media.
• Own your own .com domain name.
• Show your creative table settings, flower arrangements and napkin folds.
• Chefs can publish high-quality food photos within their portfolios.
• Create a personalised email address with your domain for a more professional stance.
• Embed or upload videos of your work.
• Optional blog pages, recipe pages and more!

Backend web management

• Full SEO overhaul to ensure your website ranks for your name as quickly as possible on Google.
• Optimised website at the backend to ensure site speed for seamless user experience.
• A shared hosting package with our preferred hosting company, offering minimal website downtime.
• Monthly monitoring of the applications and internal systems to ensure they are all updated and working correctly.

The not-so-fine print

Domain names will be purchased on your behalf, and are only “owned” for 12 months. You must pay annually to keep domain names, but we can set this up as a recurring fee, or contact you before it is due to expire to extend ownership. We can also transfer this domain to you at a later date if you wish to manage your website yourself.

Hosting is provided through our preferred hosting company. We currently offer a shared hosting package as standard, however, if you wish for a dedicated hosting package, please contact us for rates. It is advised to stick to shared hosting for small websites such as these, but the option is there if you want to splash the cash and go with dedicated hosting.

Email addresses are free with unlimited mailbox sizes. These can be linked to your current email address so a duplicate email gets sent to your regular inbox, or I can assist you with setting up Gsuite , which is a subscription-based Gmail application.

A non-refundable deposit of €650 is required to start the process for your portfolio website. A further €650 is required on completion of the website. Once this has been paid your website will “go live” and be able to be viewable to the public.

A portfolio website can take between 5-10 days to complete, depending on the number of changes to make and how quickly I can communicate with you. A mockup of your website can be achieved within 3 days in most instances, and from there we can tweak your preferences such as font, colours, image placements and additional text.
