We do not offer website design only.
Our goal is to create a unique and seamless branding system, through colour theory, font styling and bespoke design, giving you a solid brand identity with with all the necessary tools required to build a stylish and consistent website for your brand.
Do I need photography?
I highly recommend investing in a product shot / brand story photoshoot if you want to showcase your products / professional services authentically and gain credibility faster but if you don’t have your own photos yet, check out unsplash.com for free stock photos.
Each website is different but I usually suggest providing between 25-40 photos.
What is copy?
Copy is all the words on your website. Your website will need headlines, sub headlines, paragraph text and call-to-actions for everyone page and product. I will provide a google doc to help you put this all together. If this doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, I can recommend someone to take care of it for you.
Can I start before my content is ready?
Building your dream website should be an exciting time for you, and us so you really shouldn’t start the web design process before you are ready! We can’t start the website development before ALL copy has been properly written and photography has been provided. If it is not ready by the agreed deadline, the project will be put on hold, and rescheduled to the next available date, upon payment of a €100 penalty fee.
