How do I get started? I’m not tech-savvy.
That’s exactly why we exist.
Your onboarding is simple, calm, and guided the entire way.
We start with a 30-minute Discovery Call (phone or video). You share what you need help with, what’s overwhelming you, and where you’re trying to go. Then we send a clear, plain-English plan and a short checklist of anything we need from you.
No tech jargon. No complicated tasks.
You hand things off — we handle the rest.
How will you communicate with me? I get distracted and forget things.
We keep communication simple and predictable:
- Short, scheduled check-ins
- A shared task board so you can see progress at a glance
- Easy recap emails so nothing falls through the cracks
Our job is to keep your business organized — not add more to your plate.
How much of my time will this take?
Not much.
We run the project from start to finish.
Your only responsibilities are:
- Answering a few simple questions
- Sending any existing assets you already have
- Approving key steps
We handle the communication, timelines, updates, and day-to-day work.
You get progress without the pressure.
What if I don’t have a logo, photos, or content ready?
No problem — most clients don’t.
We can:
- Create or refresh your logo
- Source photos or recommend photographers
- Write all website or marketing content for you
You don’t have to show up perfectly prepared. We’ll guide you through everything.
What’s included in a typical website or branding project?
Most website or branding projects include:
- Discovery & strategy
- Branding or logo refresh (if needed)
- A custom, mobile-friendly website
- Basic on-page SEO
- Integrations (contact forms, booking tools, email)
- 30–60 days of post-launch support and training
You can also add social setup, ongoing support, operations help, and more — tailored to your needs.
How long does a project take?
We keep timelines realistic and transparent:
- Website refresh: 3–6 weeks
- Full brand + website: 8–12 weeks
You receive a complete timeline with milestones so you always know what’s next.
What will it cost? Do you offer payment plans?
We offer simple, clear pricing with payment options that fit your budget.
Options include:
- Deposit + milestone payments
- Monthly retainer options for ongoing support
Your proposal lays everything out up front — no surprises.
Who owns my website, content, and accounts?
You do — always.
Once the project is complete and paid in full, ownership of your website, domain (if it’s yours), and design files transfers to you.
If you want us to continue maintaining, hosting, or updating things, you can stay on a managed plan — but it’s completely optional.
What are your typical response times?
You’ll always know when to expect a reply:
- General requests: within 24 business hours
- Urgent website issues: 2–4 hours (for managed clients)
We communicate clearly and consistently so you always feel supported.
Will you train me or my team to use the website or tools?
Yes — and we keep it simple.
Training includes:
- Live walkthroughs
- Recorded videos you can replay anytime
- Easy step-by-step guides
If you want ongoing support after training, we can add that to your plan.
What access do you need, and is my data safe?
We only request access to what we need, such as:
- Hosting
- Domain registrar
- CMS
- Email platform
- Social accounts
All credentials are stored securely in a password manager, limited to essential team members, and removed when the project ends.
Your privacy and security always come first.
Do you work with existing websites or only new builds?
Both.
We can:
- Refresh and clean up your current site
- Migrate it to a better platform
- Fix design issues, broken pages, and outdated content
- Build from scratch if that’s the best option
During discovery, we’ll help you decide the most cost-effective path.
What happens if I fall behind on my tasks or approvals?
Life happens — we get it.
If you fall behind:
- We send gentle reminders
- We keep your project organized
- We adjust timelines if needed
- We guide you back on track without pressure
You’ll never feel like “the bottleneck.”
Do you work with my current vendors or team members?
Absolutely.
We can coordinate directly with:
- Photographers
- Bookkeepers
- Social media teams
- Admins or office staff
- Marketing or PR partners
- Anyone you already rely on
Our goal is to make things easier for you — not create more moving parts.
Do I need to switch my hosting or email provider?
Not always.
We’ll review what you currently use and let you know if it’s worth keeping or upgrading.
If a switch is recommended:
- We handle the transfer
- We maintain uptime
- You keep full ownership
No stress, no tech overwhelm — we handle the logistics.

- Mailchimp
- Square
- Stripe
- QuickBooks
- Google Workspace
- Calendly
- POS systems
- Email platforms
- Booking and scheduling tools

- Website traffic
- SEO performance
- Lead tracking
- Google Business Profile insights
- Social media analytics

Everything is kept simple, clear, and actionable.
