how we work
We believe in simplicity in life, and in launching a new website. Our process keeps your project organized, and helps us create a website that gets you clients you love.
We want to we get to know who you are and why you do what you do.
Before your project kickoff date, you'll complete our 5 part Brand Assignment. This walks you through describing your style, gathering content and all the little details. We also offer a Strategy Call, during which we will deep dive into your brand and create a strategic plan for your website.
We break our design process into 4 phases, for a total of 6 weeks
Phase 1 - Kickoff, mood board & home page mockup
Phase 2 - Home page design
Phase 3 - Interior pages
Phase 4 - Launch your site, light SEO and training
This process is collaborative, and we will ask for feedback throughout the design process. At the end of the 6 weeks, you'll have a new website, ready to share on social and start bringing in new business!
