Your website is a place for potential customers to learn more about you, your services, and determine if you’re the right fit for them. When done right, your website is working behind the scenes to sell.
Your website should:
90% check you out online before making a decision to buy from you or visit you. Credibility is key. It’s more important than ever to maintain an online presence.
01
Every project starts with an initial phone call to outline the project milestones and make sure we’re on the same page. Project starts once the contract has been signed and deposit paid.
02
Time for us to get to know each other! I want to learn the most I can about your business goals to best serve you. This happens through a detailed questionnaire and site map to prepare us for mockups.
03
Once I have the information I need, I’ll present various mockups to be approved before development begins. These mockups will either be a low-fidelity wireframe or high-fidelity mockups with color and imagery, depending on your package.
04
Once the mockups are approved, we will start the development process and live designing of your website via WordPress or Squarespace. Platform will already be chosen at onboarding stage. We’ll go through a few rounds of revisions to get it just right.
05
Once live site has been approved, I will thoroughly test all functions, links, etc to ensure everything is working. If applicable, I will ensure all proper plugins for security and speed have been installed.
06
Your website will be transferred in your possession and I will provide all documentation and instruction regarding domains, hosting, how to edit, etc. You will also receive 2-week live support to help navigate your way in your new site.
It’s an extension of your business that builds credibility – when it looks more professional and functions better on mobile than your competitors, you’ve caught their attention and are one step closer to earning their business.
Whether you’re a small restaurant that needs something to just list their menu items in the easiest way possible, or you’re selling a local service and needs to beat out your competition, there’s a solution for that. I work in both WordPress and Squarespace platforms, depending on the complexity of your problem, your tech ability
Frequently Asked Questions
With every custom branding project, you will receive a brand style guide that educates you on which file types, color modes, and logo variations are best to use in different scenarios—that way, your branding remains consistent—and thus, effective—when our job is done!
Absolutely. Your brand is more than just your logo and it’s important I set you up for success. You’ll get multiple variations of your logo for all different situations and spaces, a set color palette and chosen fonts to use in your brand materials, and instructions how to use everything.
I don’t take on projects that just involve a brand new logo without the discovery and exploration phases for your business. There’s so much valuable information received during these steps that will ultimately influence the final design direction for your logo.
However, for those that would rather work off an existing logo, we can come up with a solution to refine and still produce a style guide. Please fill out a project inquiry form and we can figure out the best solution for you.
Custom brand identity packages start at the $1,800 mark for the detailed process above, multiple concepts presented, (2) revision rounds and the following deliverables: style guide, several logo variations for difference spaces and colors, social media icons, and all file types needed for future use.
Filling out a project inquiry form is the best way for me to analyze your best and suggest the best solution for you and give you a more accurate estimate.
If you’re not trying to re-invent the wheel, that’s okay! We can put together something custom for you.
Please fill out a project inquiry form and we can discuss your project, goals and what package is best suited for your needs.
Yes! Larger projects are split up into several payments over several weeks to make sure we stay on task, hit our milestones and make it easier for you to complete payment. Small project are either paid up front in full, or split into two payments.
50% is always due to kick-of a project, followed by a 25% payment mid-way and a final 25% payment to receive your files. A structured payment plan and schedule will be created once a project has been approved.
Oh yes, I offer various marketing materials and printed/digital goods to supplement your new identity and round out your brand.
Learn more about what graphic design services I offer. Discounts can be available for bundling multiple items at once.
Absolutely. Depending on your logo package and website package, discounts are available if bundling and investing in both services.

Bottom line, if you’re passionate about your business, chances are I will be too. I’m most passionate about projects in the service, tourism, food/drink, art/design industries but I enjoy the variety and learning about new things. So try me, let’s talk!
Listen, this is the absolute last thing I want to happen when we work together.
I have created a tried and tested process that ensures we are both on the same page throughout the entire project. No bad surprises, no getting off track to what is already signed off on. The deliverables you receive at the end will align with your vision and your customer base that we’ve already established at the beginning.
See above for what to expect when working together.
All this to say, if you’re still unhappy with the final outcome after our allotted rounds of revisions and research that has gone into your project, I will make sure to remedy whatever issues we are having. Extra hours can be added on if changes are outside our intended scope.
Complete logo + identity projects are typically completed within a 4-5 week timeframe, depending on communication and deliverables included. For logo refining, that timeline can look a lot shorter. For projects that involve other graphic design or website tasks, that can look longer.
