websites that are more than just websites
For when you need a website that sounds like you, sells for you and makes it easy for the right clients to say yes.
Hey, quick q.
does your website make you happy?
You should be LIT UP to send people to your website, and if you’re not, in our humble opinion … we need to work together.
Most of the people we work with have outgrown an old site, or have seen enough bad ones that they’re nervous to blindly invest in their first (let’s be honest, expensive) major asset for their business. I don’t blame them.
But here’s the thing: If your website is old, out-dated or non-existent, you’re losing sales, wasting time answering repetitive questions, getting leads that are not a vibe-match and none of it is a testament to the effort, value or expertise you bring to your craft. It is 100% a messaging problem, and to us, that message is conveyed in far more than words.
HOT TAKE
your website should work as hard as you do
A well-built website is fast, secure and properly structured. But an amazing website brings that and then some. A fantastic website:
establishes trust
People decide whether they trust you in seconds. A polished design and a smooth, fast experience do the heavy lifting before they’ve read a word. Then strategically placed content (proof, credentials and a clear sense that you know what you’re doing) seals the deal.
guides users
Wherever someone lands, we lead them along a path we’ve planned together, toward the same outcome: booking, buying or getting in touch. And that journey should be fun. Animations and accent fonts or images guide the eye, making it easy for visitors to say yes.
houses your vibe
Your website is your brand’s ground zero. Not just the look, but the feel. Your emails, socials and printed materials can all take their cues from it. It’s where your look, voice and personality live in their truest form, so everything else has something to match.
answers questions
The worst question is the one that goes unasked. If people have to email you to find out what you do or how to sign up, many won’t. We put the answers right in their eye-line, right when they’d ask, so most of your emails are sales notifications.
qualifies leads
A good website doesn’t try to appeal to everyone. It speaks directly to your ideal clients and politely shows the wrong-fits the door. The result is fewer tire-kickers, better conversations and clients who already know they want to work with you.
integrates with your systems
Booking, payments, email signups, courses. We connect your website to the tools you already use, so seamlessly that visitors won’t even notice they’ve left your site.
what to expect
how it works
-
discovery call, quote and deposit
We talk through your project, then send a quote and timeline. Your deposit locks in your start date. -
the gathering phase
We’ll send you a checklist of things to do while you wait for your start date. Photos, other websites you like, screenshots of fonts you like, etc. -
the interview
A deep conversation about what you do, who you help, how you help, who you are and where you're going. -
words, vibe check and homepage
We write your website (yes, we write it), make sure it sounds like you, then design your homepage around your branding and preferences. We refine until the look and messaging are right. -
the rest
We build out the remaining pages to match. You review and request edits, we finalize, and we launch. -
the handoff
SEO, mobile optimization and a final once-over. Then you get how-to videos for common updates, or hand it back to us at our hourly rate.

FAQs
for the curious folks
Do I need to write my own content?
Nope! You are welcome to, but we are happy to write the first pass of the website for you, with SEO in mind as we do it. We will gather most of what we need from our initial interview, write it, get your edits, then tweak as we go.
How long does it take?
Most sites take about 4 weeks from start date to launch. We’ll send a timeline with your quote.
What platform do you build on?
When it comes to websites, our favourite platform is WordPress by a long shot. That said, when it’s needed, we’ve built some beautiful ones in Kajabi, Shopify and Squarespace too. For other things like booking systems, email marketing and more, we work with whatever platform works best. We’ve integrated them all.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. You’ll get how-to videos for common tasks. If you’d rather not, we’re available at hourly rates.
What if I don’t have a logo or branding yet?
We can do simple branding projects, but if you need something really impressive we’ve got the perfect (digital) rolodex for you.
Do you use ai?
We use AI sparingly to expedite our workflow and processes behind the scenes, but not in our finished product. We do use it to distill large amounts of information as part of our writing process, but we make sure that what actually goes on the website is 100% you (and us), and nothing but.
Admittedly sometimes an AI stock photo will sneak by us, but we’re getting better at spotting it.
Finally, we will work with clients who like using AI, and anything they submit to us can be implemented.
