Working together

Do you only work with photographers?

Photographers are my specialty, especially documentary and storytelling styles, but I also work with other creatives and service-based businesses that value design and storytelling.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. I’ve worked with clients across the US, Australia, and beyond. We’ll keep things efficient with a clear project timeline, feedback windows, and regular check-ins.

How long does a project take?

Signature Services typically take 4–6 weeks, depending on scope and feedback speed. VIP Sessions are completed in one day, provided all prep work is done in advance.


How do I know which service I need?

If your brand and website both need a major overhaul, you’ll want a Signature Service. If your visuals are strong but you need quick, focused changes, a VIP Session may be a better fit. Your application form and our discovery call will confirm the right choice.

Pricing and Payments

How much do your services cost?

Signature Services start at $1,000 (Brand Identity), $2,000 (Website Design), and $2,800 (Brand + Website). VIP Sessions start at $800. Add-ons like e-commerce setup or copywriting are quoted separately.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Standard is 50% upfront and 50% at launch, but we can arrange up to 4 payments for larger projects.

Are there additional costs I should expect?

Squarespace subscription, domain registration, and any paid fonts, images, or integrations are billed separately. I’ll give you a clear list before we start so there are no surprises.

Process and Deliverables

Will I be able to edit my site myself after launch?

Yes. Every site comes with training videos and 30 days of support. You’ll be able to update text, swap images, and make basic edits without needing me for every change.

01

What if I need to make changes after launch?

You can book me for hourly updates or another VIP Session. Many clients like to schedule a check-in 6–12 months later for small tweaks.

02

Can you add e-commerce or member areas?

Yes. These are quoted separately since scope varies. Most e-commerce setups start at $1,000 on top of your base package.

03

What’s the difference between a Signature Service and a VIP Session?

Signature Services are comprehensive, strategy-led builds with more time for creative exploration. VIP Sessions are one-day intensives focused on smaller-scale or urgent projects.

Getting Started

How far in advance should I book?

I usually book 1–2 months in advance for Signature Services and 2–3 weeks in advance for VIP Sessions.


How do I book?

General FAQs

  • I specialize in Squarespace because it’s beautiful, reliable, and easy for my clients to manage on their own. I also design on Shopify for product-based businesses, but that’s quoted separately since Shopify is a whole different universe.

  • It’s powerful enough to grow with you, but simple enough that you won’t need me on retainer just to swap out a photo or update text. I want you to feel confident running your own site — not locked out of it.

  • I’ve invested in trainings like Standout Squarespace and Standout Shopify by Rachel De Luna, plus Square Secrets by Paige Brunton. Add years of hands-on client work, and I’ve basically seen (and fixed) it all.

  • Both! You can book branding, a website, or the full package (which saves you money). If you already have a brand identity, I can design around it.

  • Most sites are ready in weeks, not months. A full brand + website usually takes 6–8 weeks. A VIP Day or lighter project can be done in just 1–2 days.

  • Yes, you’ll get the best results when your content is ready before we start. Don’t worry though — I’ll guide you with prep workbooks, and if you need copy help, I offer it as an add-on to make things easier.

  • Every project includes design, development, mobile optimization, SEO basics, and launch support. You’ll also get a full training video so you can edit your site yourself.

  • Two rounds of refinements are included with every project. I keep things collaborative as we go, so we rarely need more than that.

  • Yes! Most projects are split into two or three installments. Bigger projects can be broken down further if needed.

  • Every project comes with 30 days of post-launch support. After that, you can book me for ongoing updates or a quick half-day if you need a refresh down the road.

  • If you value clean design, collaboration, and someone who gets things done without dragging it out — we’ll probably get along. I’m not the right fit if you’re looking for the cheapest option or a DIY coach, but if you’re ready for a site that actually works, let’s talk. ♡
