How this works…

One. Let’s get things going! Hit one of the two big β€œInquire” buttons on this pageβ€”or click here if you’re lazy. If we like you, we’ll reach out to chat about your design needs and any questions you have about this whole process.

Two. Paperwork, Schmaperwork. Once we’ve sniffed each other out, we’ll send over our design agreement and an invoice for a 50% deposit. We’d call it a contract, but we don’t want to spook you. Once that’s signed and paid, we can move on to step number…

Three. Oh, it’s on, baby. We’ll guide you through filling out our brand and website questionnaire. You’ll get to talk alllllll about you, your business, your design needs, your hopes, your dreams, your deepest desires. Okay, maybe not those. It’s easy. It’s fun. We’ll hold your hand. In a non creepy way. Once you’ve completed that AND sent us whatever copy and images (words and pictures) you want on your site, we’ll move on to step number…

Four. Where the magic happens. We’ll take your input and design you something spectacular. Something you can brag to your friends about. You’ll get two rounds of revisions to make sure it’s everything you hoped for.

Five. We’ll hand you the reigns to your beautiful, brand new website. But we’ll make sure you know how to take care of it. You’ll get videos showing you how to add pages and update copy (text). We’ll make sure you know how to contact Squarespace support in case you need help with a domain issue. Sure, we could say it’s because we want you to feel empowered to take ownership over your own online presence, but really we just want your sight to stay looking good for our portfolio. And, if you really need help, we’re always an email away.

We can help.

πŸ‘‹ Oh hey. We’re here to answer any lingering questions!

  • Our websites require a Squarespace business subscription in order to work correctly. You'll also want your own domain name, and (optionally) an email marketing platform.

  • We build on Squarespace 7.1 or Showit, depending on your needs (blog, shop, etc). We can help you decide!

  • Squarespace is legendary for its ease of use. If you can use a mouse and copy/paste, you can most definitely maintain this website. πŸ’ͺ
    But if you don't want to or are too busy to, we've got you covered.
