Sound Familiar?
-
Design Overwhelm and Uncertainty
The vast world of web design can be daunting for most. You may not know where to begin, which platform to choose, or how to structure your content. This uncertainty can lead to procrastination or settling for a subpar online presence.
-
Time Constraints and Lack of Expertise
You’re stretched thin and already juggling various responsibilities. Designing a website requires time, effort, and specific expertise you may not possess. As a result, the task gets indefinitely postponed or executed without the necessary attention to detail.
-
Lack of Brand Differentiation
Utilizing generic templates or pre-made designs can make a business feel indistinguishable from competitors. You need a website that authentically represents your brand, resonates with your target audience, and sets you apart in the marketplace.
-
Need for Better user Experience
A site that's not tailored to the business's target audience can lead to user confusion, decreased engagement, and lost sales or leads. You need a design that’s intuitive, easy to navigate, and optimized for conversions.

Great! Fill out the application form so that we get a baseline understanding of where you are in your business and what kind of industry you’re in. We’ll then reach out to book a 1/2 hour call to see if we align. We’ll then decide the scope of the project and book you into our next available dates.
-
We generally suggest a minimum 1 month after our initial discussion in order to give you time to gather your copy, images and any additional content. It will also depend on availability as we only work on one project at a time.
-
We understand budgeting is important. We offer a base price for all our packages and the price goes up depending on what is required in addition to what the base package offers. Add-Ons can be purchased in addition and will dictate how long the project will take. We will provide a complete quote once we understand the scope of the project.
-
You will need to gather and provide the brand guide (fonts, colors, icons etc.) logo pack, images, copy and fill out the questionnaires. The deadline for content is 1 week prior to our build dates. If you require help with the brand guide, please let us know and we will provide a quote.

Between the in-depth design questionnaires, style board, and inspiration websites, there are many touch-points where we work together to clarify the aesthetic to match your brand. My goal is to provide a final product you love and work closely with you and your vision.

I build all Shopify websites on the most current 2.O themes. You will need to purchase either the Basic, Shopify or Advanced plan (most users are on basic) once we’re ready to launch your store. Check out their plan pricing.

A 50% deposit is required to secure your dates in my calendar and the final 50% must be paid on the final day of our project dates. Final payment is due whether the website is launched on the final day or delayed until a later date. Delayed launches are included in your package for up to 2 months post project dates. Once the final payment has been received, you will become ‘Owner’ of the website, receive the final files and we will make your website live.

We connect 3 x 3rd party integrations for you.
(Eg. Klaviyo, store locator, etc.) You’ll however be the one to setup your accounts and do anything within the 3rd party app. We do not provide setup or maintenance.

Shopify has their own analytics within the platform but is quite limited. It's always recommended to connect your site to Google Analytics in addition.
You will set up a google analytics account with your existing google account and I will connect it for you.
We offer setting up Google Analytics and Search Console as an add-on if required.
-
We require a brand guide before proceeding. A brand guide would contain the colors, fonts, image direction and any icons, backgrounds or image elements we should use to remain within the brand guidelines. We can help provide clarity on our call.

Yes. We will connect your 3rd party email marketing provider to your website. You will however be responsible for setting up the account and mailing lists.
