Design for the new (or new-ish) business owner

When you’re ready to start your new business, you know the value of professional design, but you don’t always have the time to get on a designer’s waitlist.

You’re also still in the process of figuring out who your audience is, and a super in-depth design process probably doesn’t makes sense to do yet.

With our design intensives, you can hire us as your own personal design team for short period to build you a quality brand identity or website quickly and efficiently—and be off to the races building your business.

Create a stronger first impression with a clean and cohesive design that reflects your business from the start. This crucial investment will pay off for years to come as more customers buy from your brand!

Does this sound like you?

  • You’re a new business owner on a tight timeline & want a fast turnaround—but you know you want better than what you can DIY

  • You aren’t ready yet a full, months-long, in-depth strategy exploration or complex design work

  • You have a clear idea of your style you’re looking for—but know a professional is who can bring it to life

  • You have needs that aren’t being met with pre-made designs you’ve found online

How does it work?

ONE: BOOK

We’ll choose the week for your intensive (we will be working collaboratively back & forth throughout the week, so it’s best to select a date where you can be available!). Once you select your date & submit your deposit (20%), that spot will be held just for you!

TWO: PREP

You’ll receive an email containing your welcome guide, onboarding questionnaire to get to know you and your business, and your prep work for our week together. For websites, your photos and site copy must be ready before design begins. It’s crucial that these items are ready to go beforehand so that we can hit the ground running when the week arrives!

THREE: DESIGN

For brand design, we spend the whole first day on your concept, take your feedback and refine on day 2, finalize your brand elements on day 3, and finally design your collateral piece and deliver!

For Squarespace sites, we design the homepage day 1, refine it day 2, design the rest of the pages days 3-4, and test and launch by Friday!

For Shopify sites, we design the homepage and Collections page the first week, your other pages the second week, test, and set you on your way to selling!

FAQs

  • The intensive is an efficient, simplified version of our full process. The quality of the design is still there, but without the in-depth strategy piece that more seasoned business owners are ready for. We get a simple brand identity done in a week (vs. 6-8 weeks for regular branding), a Squarespace site in a week (vs. 8-10 weeks for a full-scale site), and Shopify site in two weeks (vs. 10-16 weeks for a full site). Our custom websites can be anywhere from $8-20K, so the intensive is really a deal!

  • You pay 20% deposit to book, 40% on the start date, and 40% at completion. We accept credit cards, PayPal, or bank transfers.

  • When you are a new or new-ish business, you likely are still figuring out who your target audience is, what your business values are, and where your sweet spot will be. It doesn’t always make sense to invest in a deep brand strategy before you deeply understand all these aspects of your business. Therefore, investing in something professional and beautiful to serve you along the way is a huge help with less price stress!
