Let’s get specific. Here’s how I can help.

Design & Branding Services

Web Design

A great website can be your brand’s most powerful ambassador.

It should give your customers an exceptional experience, while requiring minimal effort from you. To achieve that, it needs to be visually captivating, strategically built, and smooth on every device.

With over a decade of custom web design experience, I know what makes a website effective. By focusing on a few key areas, we can create a site that works hard for your business.

Intentional Design

We’ll start with a strategic outline for content that actually aligns with your primary business goals. Revolutionary, right?

Once that’s in place, I design a custom visual theme that reflects your brand in every detail. Consistent, polished design not only builds trust and credibility, but improves the perceived value of the product or service you’re selling.

Intuitive User Experience

A smooth, easy-to-navigate website shows your visitors that you respect their time and attention. I’ll make sure they feel seen and supported, can easily find what they need, and have a great experience with your site  –  on any device.

Message, Message, Message.

Today’s customer can see right through manipulative sales tactics. Hurray! That means we can skip the pain points and false urgency and just speak truth to the people for whom your offer is exactly what they need. The secret is to talk less about what you do and how, and focus on how well you understand their needs, the transformation that only you can achieve for them, and why now is the time to take action.

Only a tiny fraction of web designers can also write. Effective copy for websites is a specific niche that challenges even the best writers. I can help in that department, too.

Visibility

Compared to visual design, SEO isn’t exactly creative or fun  –  at least, not for my brain!  I include it anyway, because it wouldn’t be ethical to charge what I charge for a website that’s beautiful and articulate, but that no one will see.

To decide which of the millions of available websites to serve up, search engines evaluate both the relevance of your content  –  based on your copy, keywords, and metadata  –  and the quality of user experience it provides. Things like speed, mobile performance, accessibility, and ease of navigation are increasingly vital to search engine ranking. I implement best practices in all of those areas, and for many sites, that’s enough.

Brand new businesses, and those going up against the big guys in  competitive markets, may need more advanced SEO or digital advertising to rank well. In that case, I partner with experts I trust to ensure my client’s website gets the exposure it needs to be profitable.

The right tool for the job.

I’m experienced in a variety of popular content management systems, and I can hand off production-ready Figma files to internal teams for implementation. 

When building from scratch, I always recommend WordPress for the ideal balance of performance, efficiency, and creative freedom it provides.  As a WP Engine Agency Partner, I offer my clients exclusive pricing on industry-leading web hosting, maintenance, and support.

The investment

Pricing ranges from $2000 for a basic landing page to $8000+ for more extensive e-commerce and corporate websites.  Typical delivery time is 6-12 weeks, with rush options available. I offer ongoing website maintenance and support for a monthly fee.

Graphic Design

We’re surrounded by advertising, design, and choices – all the time. Your stuff really has to stand out to make a stranger stop, feel something, and act on it. So many of our purchases and decisions are based on these moments—we want to be excited about our choices.

Powerful graphic design creates that feeling of excitement, while conveying your essential message at the same time.

Whether it’s a podcast cover image, a microbrew label, or the campaign poster that will start a movement, these are the kinds of designs I strive to create for my clients – the kind that nudge artistic boundaries and captivate their audience’s attention, while remaining clear and strategic. Let’s stop your audience in their tracks and get them saying, “Oooh, I like that!

Time and cost are specific to your project. Minimum project fee is $900.

Let’s talk about how a stunning graphic design can take your project to new heights. Book a call here.

Content Creation

Good execution matters. You’re a specialist at what you do, but maybe you’re a novice when it comes to copywriting or design. Or maybe you’re just really busy. Either way, you’ve figured out that there’s no need to do everything yourself at the expense of quality (and your sanity).

It’s time to recruit an ally who can understand and use your brand voice and visuals to great effect. Someone you can trust to represent you and your business.

  • Beautiful, and cohesive, branded graphics for social media
  • A blog that helps you build credibility and welcome customers into your space
  • A promotional video that’s versatile and evergreen

Whatever it is, let’s free you up to do what you got into business to do. Relax and focus, knowing that your marketing materials will be on point and at your fingertips when you need them. I’ll make it simple for you to implement your brand in any space, with high-quality, custom content that you can plug-and-play.

Minimum project fee $900. Also available on retainer starting at $1000 per month.

Brand Identity

Your brand identity is THE key to capturing your audience’s attention.

A well crafted brand sends the message that you know who you are, have confidence in your value and expertise, and are ready to deliver. It’s how you call in an audience that’s aligned with your mission, promote yourself authentically, and build a customer base that’s happy to do business with you.

In short, a strong brand identity brings confidence and ease to your marketing efforts, which helps you make more – and bigger – sales.

In your branding (or rebranding) design process, we’ll get to the heart of what you want to say about yourself, and what your ideal customer is seeking. Then, I’ll translate your unique vision and value into a clear, captivating brand identity that that turns heads and earns a loyal following. Finally, I’ll equip you with the tools and knowledge to put that beautiful branding to work.

Here’s what you’ll get.

  • Brand Discovery Session
  • Comprehensive Brand Creation
  • Brand Guide – This is the go-to resource for you and your team to ensure that everywhere you show up, you’re looking your best. It includes the logo marks, colors, typefaces, and other elements that represent your brand – plus guidelines for their effective use – in one organized, plug-and-play package.
  • Brand Ally Consulting – After you’ve received your comprehensive brand package, you’ll have me – and my 10+ years of marketing experience – in your back pocket to guide you as you advance your brand. Brand Ally Consulting is included for 3 months, with the option to extend.

The typical timeline for completion of a comprehensive brand identity is 6-8 weeks. Rush options are available. The amount of your investment will depend on your unique needs. My average client’s brand identity investment is $4000.
