The Process

discovery + strategy

We’ll begin your project by diving deep into the vision you have for your brand and the top goals you have for your business. We’ll define your brand values and your ideal audience and then develop a brand strategy that connects what you do to who you do it for. This is achieved through brand positioning, messaging and creative direction.

brand design

With a solid strategy to guide design decisions, we’ll develop 2 complete brand concepts. We’ll present them as a full suite (logos, sub marks, fonts, etc.) with life-like mockups so you can envision your new brand identity in the real world. Upon choosing a direction to continue with, we’ll develop the rest of your brand suite with 2 revisions for each element.

web design + development

We’ll present detailed design mockups of your home, about and contact pages. We’ll use your feedback to make any necessary refinements until we have the layout, look and feel just right before moving on to the remaining pages.

 

With your final design approval, we’ll begin developing  your custom WordPress theme and provide a demo link for your review. You’ll be able to click around the demo site and test functionality, provide feedback and ask any questions.

launch

With your approval of the demo site, we’ll transfer everything to your domain and launch your new website! We’ll put up a simple “coming soon” page while we’re setting everything up and be on stand-by all day in case of any hiccups. We’ll also send over a custom video tutorial walking you through your shiny new site with directions on how to use it and make changes.

Frequently asked questions

How must does it cost to work with you?

We provide a custom quote for each project depending on what you need to create a succesful brand. Most branding + web design projects fall in the $6k-8k range. Website only projects start at $4,800.

Do you offer payment plans?

In order to officially book your project on our calendar, a 25% deposit is required. The remaining balance is then split into monthly payments spanning the length of your project. Payments can be made via credit card or PayPal.

What do you need to get started?

First things first, fill out my Client Application and book a discovery call. We’ll meet via Zoom and I can gain a better understanding of your business, your goals and your needs. I’ll send you a detailed, custom proposal with a quote for your project’s cost.

If you decide to work together, it will be your responsibility to provide all the content and images on your site before we begin the design process. I recommend working with a professional photographer for on-brand, cohesive images. Stock photography is also a great alternative.

You will also need to purchase a domain and hosting plan. Read my tutorial here for help.

Do I need a WordPress host?

Yes! Self-hosted WordPress requires that you rent the space in which your website will live (host) and give it a unique address (domain). I recommend SiteGround* as your WordPress host. They have affordable rates, quick speeds and awesome customer service. Your domain will cost you about $10 a year. Hosting will cost an average of $150 a year.
Check out my tutorial on how to set up your domain and hosting with SiteGround.

What about SEO?

I don’t claim to be an SEO expert, but I will consult with you on some SEO best practices and how to implement them on your site. I will also install a wonderful SEO plugin and provide an in depth tutorial on how to use it.

What kind of support is included?

Support is provided at no additional cost for the 2 weeks following your site’s launch. Afterward, you may purchase a Monthly Maintenance Plan to keep your site updated, backed up and secure. A limited number of Content Design Retainer spots are also available upon request if you need some extra help making regular updates to your site.

Can I make changes to my site?

Your WordPress theme will be completely custom, built with your needs in mind. Each page will be neatly labeled so you can edit text and photos easily – no code necessary! I will also provide you with a video tutorial specific to your site so you can always go back and watch as a reference.

How long will my project take?

We will work together on your new band and website for about 12 weeks. This can vary based on the scope of your project.

The timeline is used as a guide to keep us both on track and ensure we can launch your new brand and website in a timely fashion. It’s important you have time set aside in your schedule while we are working together to collect content, provide feedback, etc.
