A creative direction is vital to the web design process. It’s the foundation of your online home and creates a feeling about your business that tells your story. This connection is one of the key steps to ensure you’re attracting those clients you are dying to work with.

Note: this is NOT a full branding package including logo design & extensive strategy. I can recommend brand designers if you’re ready to invest in a full branding suite.

want to launch your website, like yesterday?

Here’s what to expect during your Template Re-style week

 

01. Choose your template & select your date

There are two semi-custom spots per month. If you add branding we allow additional time.

02. Prep your content

You send over your branding (logo, colour palette, fonts), photos, graphics, and copy the week before you start. You’ll receive a design questionnaire & copy prompts to help you out with words & the template has some great starting points, too.

03. Day of // start with strategy

We start with a 30-minute call on the morning of your first day (Monday) to hash out your vision and website goals. Then I spend the next 3 days re-designing the template with your brand, vision and content.

04. Revisions & review

I’ll send you the website for approval by the end of the day Wednesday and you have 24 hours to provide revisions. On Friday the revisions are completed and we finish up the tech and prepare for transfer.

05. Ready to launch!

By end of day Friday, you’re all done and you have two weeks of support post-transfer!
