Website Design
A mobile-first, user-first approach
Shopify, WordPress and Squarespace websites
Understanding the purpose of your website and how it plays into your customer acquisition is essential to starting off any website build. We consult on these digital and business goals to create websites that meets budget, brand aesthetic, and functionality expectations. Our team of in-house designers (the visual stuff) and developers (the coding stuff) work closely together in real life here at our studio, with the added help of our copywriters to apply the perfect balance of SEO keywords and brand story. With all website projects we include a complimentary training session to empower you to manage your website content post-launch.
What kind of website canvas are we building today?

This is where we shine. Where we get to flex a fusion of true UX/UI design and industry-leading code writing and development. In this model, we start with a blank canvas – the sky’s the limit in terms of what is possible. No themes, no templates. 100% custom designed and developed for your business only. The backend of the website is built out with equal customization, making editing images and copy a breeze post-launch.

If your business is e-commerce based without a brick and mortar storefront, Shopify is where you need to be, hands down. Shopify’s built in features and checkout experience is an industry leader and a great all-in-one solution for businesses. Additional Shopify apps can also be integrated to streamline marketing and operations of your business. In this model we can work with both Shopify templates as a base or develop the site custom.

If you’re looking for a simple, all-in-one solution with DIY capabilities, say no to Wix and yes to Squarespace (please). Our team can help set up your Squarespace website using one of Squarespace’s themes as a base. Squarespace includes your hosting costs, is a great platform for SEO and e-commerce extensions, and also allows our team to infuse custom code for a semi-custom design solution. Perfect for startups, side hustles, or solopreneurs.

We know not everyone has a budget for a custom WordPress website. We also know that trying to navigate purchasing a third-party theme and setting it up is every entrepreneur’s nightmare (and ours). So we decided to design and develop our own. Choose a template from our white canvas theme library, designed and developed by us, and semi-customized for you. We still manage all of the set up, project management, and content, taking your project from start to finish.

How do I know which platform is right for my business?
Choosing between Shopify, Wordpress and Squarespace
Step one is to ask yourself what is the goal of your website. Is it online sales? Is it leads? Form submissions? SEO? Brand awareness? From there, book a complimentary consult with our team and we can advise on the best options available.
