Your website is your greatest opportunity to speak directly to your dream clients — it should be a space you’re proud of! Something you’re excited to share with others.
Our goal is to create online spaces that convert window shoppers into customers.
Through the design process we’ll explore your business’s goals, brand style, voice, and future visions.
We use our love for visuals and media expertise to craft an online space that’s on-brand, extremely functional, and formatted in a way that makes the search engines happy (search engine optimization/ SEO).
THE PROCESS
1 Booking
First, we’ll have a discovery call over the phone or Zoom to talk about the project goals and details. Then, we’ll send you a contract and schedule your project start date. Once you’ve signed the contract & paid the deposit, we’ll dive into exploring your brand’s style, voice, messaging, and more.
2 Brand Exploration
We’ll discuss your existing branding and determine the visual direction for your site that best serves your business goals. This part looks a little different for everyone and may include mood boards and a combination of emails, Zoom calls, etc.
3 Content Exploration
This is when you’ll gather the content that will go on your website and we’ll discuss the user experience, making sure everything flows.
4 Website Design
We build your custom website with the best SEO (search engine optimization) practices in mind. This includes 2-3 rounds of revisions. We’ll also format the site for mobile viewing, integrate your social and other accounts, and test everything to make sure it’s functioning smoothly.
5 Site Launch!
After everything is all set up and looking perfect, we’ll take your site live and transfer ownership over to you!! 🎉🥂 At this point, we’ll do (an optional) final training so you’re able to update it on your own in the future.
Post-Project
We offer optional post-project site management and creative content subscriptions.
