Services
I primarily focus on helping smaller businesses get their marketing needs organized and peforming for them. It’s a lot to think about; logos, websites, social media, seo, hosting and so on. I can help guide you through what your business needs to be seen and grow.
Web Design & Development
All sites are custom designed and developed in WordPress, the most popular content management system, which is responsive, scalable and can be tailored for your business needs.
Graphic Design
Visually communicating your information using both printed and digital marketing materials; business cards, signage, ebooks, white pages, and so on.
Brand Identity
The development of your brand’s personality through the creation of logos, typography, color palettes & imagery applied across various platforms.
Design Process
My process looks a little different for every type of design project, but it’s basically as follows. To learn more about a specific process, let me know and I’ll get into more detail.
Review
The first step is understanding where you’re coming from and where you’d like to bring your business. I call this the discovery phase. I’ll research you, your competitors, your industry and your audience and use meaningful and thoughtful design to get your message and services across.
Reflect
A large and time consuming part of the process is the layout, structure, design & development. Using what I found in the discovery phase, we’ll go through a process of defining the structure, creating designs elements and developing the designs for approval and edits which will set the tone for the entire piece.
If it’s a website, I’ll begin with a site map structuring your content, a static homepage design and a supporting subpage designs. Once approved, I’ll begin a WordPress build in a hidden development environment for testing purposes with all the working plugins and functionality in place to test across all of your devices. After minor edits and revisions, your site will launch!
If it’s branding, I’ll begin with pencil sketches. I then present a selection black and white computer sketches. Once a direction is chosen, revisions are made and color palettes are chosen. The finals outputs and brand guide will be delivered in the formats required to apply your brand for your marketing needs.
If it’s print and digital layouts, I’ll present 1-2 design directions of 2-3 page templates. From there I’ll finish the layouts for review, edits and approval. Once completed the final outputs will be delivered or managed through a printer of your choice.
Refine
Once the layout, branding or website is completed, you’ll be able to review a final pdf or scan through the development testing website where we can refine the final details and get things launched, printed or processed and delivered to you with instruction on how to utilize the materials.

Hourly Design Rate

Graphics, consulting and optimization, are good examples of work that might not require a ton of hours and makes sense to do on an hourly basis. For work over 4 hours, I would suggest getting an estimate for the job.
Strong branding, functional websites and attractive design are necessary investments to help you reach your goals.
After all, this isn’t just an oil change. It’s a new paint job and engine rebuild that transforms your car…I mean business. You get it. Why can’t you get a website for $500? You can. It’s called Weebly. With those limited, diy, template builder websites, you get what you pay for. But a custom, polished brand, and properly developed web presence, is much more than nice looking images and text.
Browser capability, user experience, brand standards, best practices for conversions, plugins, security, updates and integrations are all given meticulous care when done correctly. There are always options, no matter what your budget is, so let’s have a conversation about your project and tailor a plan that works for both of us.
