why candler creative

Every business is as unique as the people that run them, that drive them, that unlock the doors and that throw out the trash. No matter what you do, what makes your business different is also what makes it stand out from the rest. Your website should capture who you are, communicate what you have to offer to your audience, and it should generate leads.

In a world whose technology is exploding, new methods improve tools for digital communications on a daily basis. How we go about reaching your audience is changing and will continue to change. My job is to bring the best solutions to you so that you can focus on what you do best.

CANDLER CREATIVE is the freelance work of Catherine Blount, a web developer in Greenville, SC with over 25 years experience in Marketing & Design. I have created websites across various platforms, from custom code with HTML and CSS to Wordpress, Wix, and SquareSpace.

I have worked in-house, with agencies, and as a freelancer in both digital and print media.  Throughout my career, helping small to medium sized businesses develop an online presence to grow their influence has been what I’ve enjoyed the most.

Common questions

  • Website costs vary based on size and functionality, but most small business websites fall within a defined project range. After learning about your needs, I’ll provide a clear, custom quote.

  • My pricing includes the design and development of your website. To launch your site, you’ll also need a domain name (your URL) and hosting with a content management software (CMS).

    Domain names usually cost around $20 per year, and hosting with CMS generally ranges from $20 to $50 per month.

  • Most websites are completed within 4–8 weeks. The timeline depends on project scope, responsiveness, and how quickly content is provided.

  • Yes. Every website is built to be fully editable, so you can easily update text, images, and basic content without needing ongoing developer support.

  • Websites are typically built on Squarespace, allowing for clean design, reliability, and easy content management for small business owners.

  • Yes. Candler Creative works with small businesses across the U.S., managing projects remotely with a clear and structured process.
