FAQ

  • 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:

    1. List the top 3 qualities you like about your ideal website.

    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.

Project Highlight: Good News Doulas

Our Solution:
Unique Brand Identity
SEO & Client Reviews
Bright Colors with Art

Client Needs:
Brand Package
Visibility & Trust
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.
