While there’s no right answer, the advice I give my clients is to consider what makes the most sense for where they’re currently at in their business. If you’re in the beginning stages and are still working through the details of what you want to do and who for, a website template could be the way to go. But once you have a clear understanding of your audience and your offers, and want a website that’s made specifically for your business, then it’s time to invest in custom design.

While templates are a great starting point, professional design offers a strategic approach that's tailored to your specific business goals. Think of it this way: a template is like buying a house as-is, while professional design is like having an architect create a space that perfectly fits your needs. Our clients consistently tell us that investing in professional design helped them attract better clients, raise their prices confidently, and create a brand presence they're truly proud of.

While we can certainly create a beautiful website with your existing brand, we always recommend following the strategic sequence of brand design, website copy, then website design for the best results. Especially if you have no existing brand identity or have an outdated one that may impact your new website vision! Starting with brand design gives us the essential building blocks (your visual identity, brand personality, and core messaging) that make your website truly shine.

This foundation ensures every design choice on your website feels purposeful and aligned with your brand's vision. Once your brand is solid, we can also craft compelling website copy that tells your story and connects with your audience. Then, we bring it all together with a website design that perfectly showcases both your visual brand and strategic messaging. This thoughtful sequence helps avoid the common pitfall of retrofitting your brand to match your website later on, which often leads to disconnected visuals or messaging!

Great news – we've streamlined everything to make it stress-free for you! When working with us on a custom design, your main tasks are sharing your vision through our design questionnaire, setting up any third-party tools you need, providing your content if you invest in website design. Feeling overwhelmed about content? Our copywriting service takes this huge task off your plate, letting you focus on what you do best while we handle the words.

We also offer an stock photo sourcing add-on if you don’t have professional brand photography, to find imagery that perfectly matches your brand aesthetic. You’d simply share your vision, and we transform it into reality! If you're writing your own copy, we recommend booking a start date that gives you plenty of breathing room to prepare your content without feeling rushed. This way, you can work on your content at your own pace while securing your spot in our calendar.

Of course! We understand this is a significant investment, so we offer flexible 4-payment installments tied to custom project milestones. This allows you to easily manage the investment using your preferred payment method. For larger packages, we also offer extended 6-12 month payment plans upon request – let's chat about finding a solution that works best for your situation!
