“Atkins Design took my vision and blew me away. Not only did they exceed my expectations, they went on to create an additional logo for me. Their service has always been impeccable… So impeccable that I have referred Atkins Design to at least 10 of my friends over the last few years. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them and I look forward to continued success and service from them.”

“Atkins Design walked me through the design process by making sure they understood my ideas and the target audience for my product. They always made sure they had my approval before finalizing ideas, and discussed pricing before completing any work. Atkins Design is very professional and worked diligently to make sure the design objectives were met.”

The Step By Step Process
1. Free consultation. After you’ve read through this page, you can schedule a free consultation. You’ll be able to ask me any questions you have before booking!
2. Pay your deposit. Once you’ve decided you want to move forward, you’ll need to pay a deposit to secure your spot in my schedule. Your payment schedule depends on the total of your project – see the ‘Payment Schedule’ section of this page for specific details!
3. Sign my contract. We’ll both need to sign my contract so that we’re fully protected before we begin working together.
4. Project management. I’ll add you to my project management system, Asana. This is where we’ll communicate and keep all your files and feedback. Don’t worry – I’ll provide you with a video tutorial on how to use it!
5. Homework. You’ll need to fill a secret Pinterest board with inspiration and answer a questionnaire. Then you’ll need to upload all your website content to Asana.
6. Consult call. A few days before your project begins, we’ll hop on a 30 minute call if you’re up for it. This is the perfect time to ask any last-minute questions you may have!
7. Moodboard, color palette & logo design. I’ll start the design process by creating a moodboard that summarizes your brand aesthetic and color palette. I’ll show you three ideas for your main logo. You’ll choose the one you like best, and then I’ll refine it over two revision rounds.
8. Brand board. Your brand board will include the other brand elements listed in your package (logo variations, sub mark, patterns and fonts etc.) You’ll get to see all the elements on one board. Then you’ll have two revision rounds to make changes.
9. Social media branding. If social media branding is included in your package then this is the time I’d create it.
10. Website design. I’ll design a mockup of your homepage before I start working on the live site. You’ll have one revision round to request changes. After you’ve approved it, I’ll turn it into your live site and I’ll make your other pages! You’ll then have two rounds of revisions.
11. Final payment. Before I hand over your final files and website, you’ll need to complete your final payment. I’ll then send you the link to a Dropbox folder containing your finalized brand files and I’ll hand your website over. You’ll also receive access to my client area where you’ll find Divi tutorials and advice to help you maintain your website.
12. Website walkthrough. Don’t worry, I’m not going to leave you to figure out how to use your website all by yourself. We’ll set up a 30 minute consult call where I walk you through how to use and update your website.
• Some of these steps may not apply. It depends on whether your package includes them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What platform will you build my website on?
I’ll use WordPress to build your site. It’s easy, fun and simple for you to use on your own when the design process is finished.
Do I need to buy a domain or hosting before working with you?
Nope, you can buy your domain directly through SiteGround. However, if you already have a domain somewhere else (like Dreamhost), that’s cool too. I’ll just redirect your domain to your WordPress website!
Do you offer any other services?
Yes, I offer ebook design, PDF design and more. Just let me know if there’s anything extra that you’re interested in and I’ll send you a quote!
How quickly can I work with you? Can you start working with me next week?
I’m usually booked a month in advance, sorry!
