We'll start with a complimentary 30 minute strategy call in which we’ll identify and clarify your project goals together and then we'll decide if we’re a good fit. If so, I’ll follow up with an email proposal.
How to prepare:
List the top 3 qualities you like about your ideal website.
List the top 3 functionality needs you need to serve your clients.
Jot down 3-5 words that describe your company's aesthetic, color palate, layout, design preferences, etc.
Make a note of any other needs you have, such as logo or branding.
If you can come prepared to articulate these points clearly, it will jumpstart our partnership. If you don’t know these things ahead of time, don’t worry. I'll help you walk through the process.

Whimsy
Good News Doulas came to us looking to create a brand new website and brand identity. They wanted to exude a sense of calm amidst the chaos of the birth experience, along with a helping of fun and whimsy.
We gave them a bright color scheme with elements of whimsy to reflect their unique style, and we created a space to feature client reviews as well as resources for families at each point in the birth journey. We are working to apply our SEO strategy so that their website will place in the top three in Google searches for their type of service.
