“Custom” means we create a unique brand and website. From the ground up. No templates or pre-existing brands. We start from zero, creating something that’s entirely new and different and all yours. We take our time to complete a thorough research and strategy phase, getting super clear on who you are, who your audience is, and who your competitors are. Then, I create a gorgeous, bespoke brand with a mood board, colours, fonts and logos. Then, I take that brand and create a custom website, tailored to your business’ goals and visual identity. From start to finish, we create something that speaks to who you are and makes you stand out from the crowd.

what does “custom” mean exactly? 

The Brand + Semi-Custom Website package has a timeline of 4 to 6 weeks. The 100% Custom Brand + Website package has a timeline of 12 to 14 weeks. Once we start working together, I’ll send you a more detailed breakdown in your welcome guide with the various phases, milestones, and tasks for each package.

what's a typical project timeline, start to finish?

I book ahead for both packages, so you’ll want to plan in advance! The wait time for the Brand + Semi-Custom Website package is usually 1 to 2 months. The 100% Custom Brand + Website package books 3 to 4 months out. Get in touch to find out what the current wait times are.

how soon can i start?

100%! We’ll do a thorough research and strategy as the first phase of the project to get crystal clear on who you are, your audience, and your competitors. From there, we’ll create a visual identity that uniquely speaks to your brand spirit and sets you apart from the crowd.
 
Depending on which package you choose, we’ll also be creating a custom website from scratch, or tweaking one of my templates with your beautiful new visual identity.

will my brand be custom and unique to my business?

I work with female entrepreneurs just like you (don’t worry—pink doesn’t have to be your favourite colour!) Think women who are finally ready to invest in their businesses because they know it’ll pay off in spades. They aren’t just looking for pretty; they want a strategy that’ll attract their dream clients. These women don’t take themselves too seriously—they’re more like the Elle Woods of their industry!

what kind of clients do you work with?

I will seriously be your business bestie and personal cheerleader – I don’t do this for the money; I do it for the relationships and community. What’s better than women supporting women? Not only will I be your right-hand gal for all things design and business, I’ll be the best of both worlds when it comes to creativity and reliability. You may know from experience, some designers are ultra-creative, but not super reliable. Not this babe. My left and right brains are balanced – a rare combination in any creative – so you can feel comfy knowing we’ll keep communication clear and prompt and your project on time. Phew!

what sets you apart from other designers?

No way! While I’m a girly-girl through and through, I design brands that speak to your business, connect with your ideal clients, and make you stand out! Looking for samples of what we could create together? Check out these brands: Vita Daily (editorial, lifestyle), Courtney Chaal (bold, bright), and Amy Teixeira (neutral, minimalist).

do you only design feminine brands?

Head on over to shop my website templates and get started creating your dream site! Each gorgeous Showit template was professionally designed with you in mind, whether you’re a blogger, creative, or service provider.

what if i only need a website, not a full brand?

I design all my client websites with Showit – it is, hands down, the best of the best in online website design platforms. It’s powered by Wordpress, which is the most popular content management system online. With virtually no design limitations, Showit gives you the freedom of a custom design and build – we’ll bring your vision to life with a gorgeous, unique website!

what website platform do you use?

Showit is, hands down, the best of the best in online website design platforms. It’s powered by Wordpress, which is the most popular content management system online. With virtually no design limitations, Showit gives you the freedom of a custom design and build.

what is showit?

Transferring your website (your domain and hosting) is easy, whatever the platform. The only catch is your blog posts: If you’re transferring from Wordpress or Squarespace, it’s a dream come true; Showit will transfer your posts for you for FREE! If you’re transferring from Wix or another program, you’ll have to transfer your posts manually (or check out third-party resources to do it for you!)
 

what if my current website and blog is on [insert website platform here]?

While a shop isn’t included in either base package, we can definitely add one to your website! That said, Showit may not be the best fit if you’re building an e-commerce site with dozens of products. But if you’re selling a handful of digital products? Showit will manage them like a boss. Shop sections start at $1,000.

what if i want to add a shop to my website?

Nope, for that I’ll be leaving you in Showit’s capable hands! With your Showit subscription (which you’ll purchase in addition to my custom design services), hosting with WP Engine comes standard. You’ll keep your domain where it currently is (for example, GoDaddy), and Showit will transfer your hosting and connect your domain.

do you host the websites you design?

It depends! Showit is such an easy platform to use, and we’ll do a thorough website training at the end of your project, so you’ll feel comfortable updating text and photos and making small tweaks across your site. I don’t currently offer updates to websites I haven’t built, but if we’ve already worked together and you’re looking for some larger-scale updates that you can’t manage yourself, you can always shoot me an email and we’ll chat!

can i hire you for updates?

Payment for my custom branding and website packages is divided into 50% up front as an initial deposit and 50% prior to launching your website. I’m always happy to divide that further into four payments—just let me know and we’ll find something that works for you!

do you offer payment plans?
