Why pay for a custom website when there are so many templates, discount packages, or DIY options?

A custom website is a solution that was designed specifically for you – to solve your problems, to achieve your goals, and to connect with your customers. The strategy behind every custom website is what makes it priceless.

We are not just building a website that function, we are building one that meets our high standard for user experience, design, and accessibility using today’s best practices. We are also building a website that can grow with you as your products or services evolve or when you want to include additional features, like e-commerce or a virtual course.

What does our process look like?

  1. Discovery – we go in depth to find out how your business works, what current pain points you may be experiencing, what your goals are, and how you stand out from the competition
  2. Deliberate – we brainstorm and sketch our ideas and prepare wireframes and a breakdown of the pages needed for your website
  3. Design – we create a visual design that is on-brand, resonates with your target audience, and blows the competition out of the water
  4. Development – we build your custom website using a CMS like WordPress or Shopify so that you can easily maintain your website
  5. Debut – we test your website across various devices and then launch at your chosen domain
  6. Dependable Support – we provide live training and documentation so that you can be in control of your website. We also offer hands-off maintenance packages for additional ongoing support

When looking for a studio or freelancer for your custom website, make sure you ask questions about what their process looks like. You want to make sure their answers make you confident that you will be taken care of.
