What I Do

Website Design + Marketing Support for Small Businesses

Because your business shouldn’t be harder to find online than it is around town.

You don’t need every marketing service under the sun. You need the right pieces working together so people can find you, understand what you do, and know what to do next.

Website Design

Custom websites built around your business, your customers, and the way people actually search for what you do.

Built anywhere from one day to one week.

Includes:
Custom Squarespace Websites

Already have a website, but it doesn’t feel like the business you’ve built anymore?

My Approach

Built for Real
Small Businesses.

Not businesses with a marketing department down the hall.

The family business. The contractor everyone recommends. The ranch. The wellness practice. The shop downtown. The service provider who built a reputation one customer at a time.

Those are the businesses I love working with.

Because when you’re running a small business, your website is rarely the only thing on your list. You’re serving customers, answering messages, sending invoices, solving problems—and doing the actual work your business exists to do.

You shouldn’t have to become a web designer, copywriter, SEO expert, and marketing strategist on top of everything else.

You know your business. I know how to turn it into a website people can find, understand, and trust.

How it Works

A Website Process That Doesn’t Feel Overwhelming.

You don’t need perfectly written copy, professional photos, a sitemap, or a neatly organized folder before you reach out.

Bring me what you have. We’ll figure out the rest together.

01. Tell Me About
Your Business

We start with a real conversation about what you do, who you serve, what you’ve built, and what you need your website to accomplish.

02. Build the Strategy

Before I worry about fonts and colors, I think about your pages, messaging, keywords, customer journey, and what someone needs to see before they’re ready to contact you.

03. Your Site Comes to Life

I bring the strategy and design together by building your pages, writing your copy, and making sure everything looks and works beautifully on desktop and mobile.

04. We Launch

Before your website goes live, I check the details: forms, links, mobile layouts, SEO settings, page titles, descriptions, and all the little things behind the pretty.

05. I Can Stick Around

Need website updates, email marketing, content, SEO help, or another set of hands after launch?

That’s where Rise & Shine started—and I still love that work, too.

Real Businesses. Real Websites.

Websites Built for Businesses Like Yours.

Sometimes Facebook has been doing the job of a website for years.

Sometimes there’s an old website that no longer fits.

And sometimes there’s a logo, a few photos, a pile of ideas, and a business owner saying:

“I don’t even know where to start.”

That’s okay. Here are a few businesses that started somewhere similar.

About The Designer

Hi! I’m Frannie + I really do love designing websites for small businesses …

The ones built around kitchen tables. The ones passed through families. The ones serving the same communities their owners call home. The ones somebody took a chance on and slowly turned into something real.

I’m the designer and small business owner behind Rise & Shine Virtual. What began with virtual assistance and behind-the-scenes support grew into a particular love for website design — taking everything that makes a business special and giving it a place to live online.

I’m a Christian. A wife and mother. And a homebody who loves helping small business owners show up online.

FAQ

Common Questions About Small Business Website Design

  • It depends on what your business actually needs. I offer website options designed with real small-business budgets in mind, and I’ll recommend the simplest option that gets the job done well—not a pile of extras you don’t need.

  • Nope.

    Bring me your notes, brochures, Facebook page, old website, voice memos, half-written Google Doc—or whatever you have.

    Helping you organize what your business needs to say is part of what I do.

  • Yes. SEO isn’t something I tack onto a website at the very end.

    I think about search terms, page structure, titles, descriptions, local relevance, and how Google understands your business while your website is being built.

    I also offer additional local SEO support when you need it.

  • You might not need a new one.

    If the bones are good, I can help improve the design, copy, structure, SEO, or customer journey without unnecessarily rebuilding everything.

  • Not at all!

    I’m based in Mountain View and especially love working with businesses throughout Southern Missouri, but I work with small businesses across the country.

  • Nope! Rise & Shine actually started as a virtual assistance business.

    I also provide ongoing marketing and VA support, including website updates, email marketing, social content, tech help, and administrative support.

  • That is completely normal!

    You don't have to diagnose the problem before you ask me to help solve it.

    Tell me about your business, show me what you have, and tell me what’s frustrating you.

    We’ll start there.

You Know Your Business

You shouldn’t have to know how to build its website.

You know your customers.

You know your work.

You know why people come back, tell their friends, and choose your business.

That’s your part.

You don’t also need to understand SEO, figure out what Google wants, write every word perfectly, or spend another Saturday night fighting with your website.

Bring me the photos. The messy notes. The old website. The Facebook page that’s been doing the job of a website.

Or just the business you’ve worked really hard to build.

You bring the business you know.

I’ll help you build the website it deserves.
