FAQ

Wow, can we really design a website in a day?

Yes, we can! If you’ve completed your branding boot camp workbook and are satisfied with the results, I can create a website for you in a day and have for many happy customers. The proof is in my portfolio.

Can I launch my website the same day?

Yes, I approach every project with the intention of launching that day. Sometimes you’d like to sit with the site for a day or two before launching. That’s just fine. I provide two hours of post-design day support that you can use within two weeks of your design date for this reason.

Is a one-day website design process right for me?

My rapid approach to results is a good fit for people who like the idea of having a proven process and accountability partner who will help them get the job done. Many of my clients appreciate the time constraint because dedicating a day is often easier than the brain drain of stealing time from your regular schedule to give feedback and make decisions over the course of weeks or months.

What do I get out of the self-guided branding boot camp?

The branding boot camp is a self-paced guidebook that walks you through the fundamentals of creating and documenting your brand. It will help you define your:

• Brand colors

• Font styles

• Key messages

• Website content

If you do not already have a logo, I can help you source a logo you like for an additional cost, or refer you to professionals who do this work. Let me know when you reserve your design day if you’d like to talk about this option.

Will I be able to update the website myself?

Definitely. I build all of my one-day websites on Squarespace, an easy-to-use and affordable platform with excellent documentation and customer support. You will be given access to a one-hour recorded training that will be available to you 24/7. It will show you the basics of how to edit your website to do things like change copy, swap out photos, add optional blog entries, and more.

How long will it take to complete the branding boot camp?

The branding boot camp is self-paced, and how long it takes to complete it will depend on factors including how much of a brand you’ve already defined, how quick you are to write content, and how much capacity you have to complete the work.

Generally speaking, I like to recommend two to four weeks to complete the boot camp. Long enough to be thoughtful about decisions, but not so long that the work of branding yourself gets pushed aside and forgotten about. I recommend blocking out time in your calendar to do this work.

We will check in a week prior to your design day to see how your work is progressing and answer any questions you have.

Can I reschedule or cancel my design day?

Life happens. You can reschedule your design day once without any kind of penalty. We will need at least 48 hours’ notice. If you choose to reschedule again, each subsequent rescheduling will cost an additional $200. A complete cancelation will forfeit your deposit.

Do you offer any other services?

I provide the following additional services:

• Logo procurement (price varies, contact for details)

• Content writing ($125 an hour)

• Marketing & strategy coaching ($125 an hour)

In addition to these services, I have a great network of IT people, artists, designers, copywriters, proofreaders, and developers who I can refer you to if you have specific needs or interests.
