How We Got Started
After working for other companies, I decided that starting a sole proprietorship would lend itself better to family life.

It would be preferred to have the native files as mentioned in previous posts. Then, if you decide to use a different designer then they can use (most likely) the original native files. They may need to be converted to another version of InDesign, if that is what they are using, but the designer can figure this out for you. Sometimes designers charge extra to give you the native files, it depends on your contract.
If you are referring to Logo files or illustrations that will be very large, vector is always best to receive as a native file - .ai Adobe Illustrator file, or native file of the program they are using. When it comes to photos - you don't need a native file, although it would be nice to have a .psd file - Photoshop. Just make sure you get the original high resolution photo file - .tif, .psd preferred. High res. .jpg is fine also.
I am not sure what you are referring to. Are you trying to promote your services, or are you trying to build trust with a business that you have had problems with?

Frankly, I would not have gone with Wp if you didn’ Know any code or take classes. I went back to school in web design. Square space may be a good option for you. In order to maintain wp you need to know how to use it well and ecommerce I haven’t even attempted. Shopify is a good option also.

I am assuming that you are referring to adding alt tags to photos so that the blind can read what the photo is about? I don’t know why businesses could be sued because of this. Also are there other ADA requirements in US?

There is no way to tell whether your pricing is fair. It depends on the service.

Initial impressions: The background is distracting to me. Can you either lighten the background, have a full width site or nice neutral landscape background. How about only one menu that includes your product line with dropdown menu. Take the sidebar off and just add testimonials at the bottom near footer? You already have a testimonial page. Google translate info at the very top in top bar or with the menu bar? The Green is too "hot" for my taste. How about a nice landscape green. Back is a bit harsh for use as main background. Have you tried white?By the way.....it looks like you are using Divi theme. I use this also!Just some thoughts to consider.

I also agree with others saying that both are equally important, but if you don't have a website up and running - I would do that first.

Somewhere in between A and B?
B emphasizes brand identity. A emphasizes the product...but you really need a marketing firm to set up a test review among an audience. This will give you a better idea of which design would meet your goals. Overall nice designs.
