the process
Here’s what you can expect during the course of your project
I highly value transparency and communication – which means you’ll never be in the dark about progress. The design process is very collaborative and I work with you every step of the way to create designs that “just get you.” Every project will look a bit different but here’s a general overview of what it’s like to work together:
01. inquiry
The first step is to make sure we’d be a good fit for each other. I’ll ask for more details about your business, budget, and timelines through email to make sure we are aligned on expectations before we begin!
02. prior project
Once we’ve decided to work together, I’ll finalize a proposal and contract. A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot in my schedule. Once you’re booked, I’ll be sending you an email with all next steps, including filling out a more detailed questionnaire. This will inform not only your aesthetic and visual direction preferences but also the strategy – ensuring all the work we do not only looks great, but is created from a deeper understanding of your audience and vision.
03. creative kickoff
This is where you can sit back and relax! I begin the creative work at this stage (this is where everything starts to come together). I’ll design and present the homepage initially, which will be followed by an opportunity for refinement. After refinement to the homepage, we’ll work on designing the remaining pages. I require all feedback within 3 business days to ensure your project stays on track.
04. website build
Once the design has been approved, we’ll move onto building it out! I work alongside a trusted developer to ensure your site comes to life. When development is complete, we’ll go through your website with a fine-tooth comb before launch day.
05. finishing touches
Once all changes have been implemented and approved, I will be sending through the final invoice. When final payment is made, all design assets and source files will be released and sent to you.
06. after project
Congrats! Your website is now done. I’ll be providing you with support with any questions you may have once the project is completed.
