Your Design Meeting

Creating a new design for your website starts with a discussion about your goals for the website. Here are some design questions we may ask you:

  • What goals do you want the new website to achieve?
  • If you have a site already, what do you like or dislike about it?
  • What’s working or not working?
  • What colours do you like?
  • What fonts or font styles do you like?
  • Do you have any examples of other web design or graphic design elements that you like?
  • Do you have other branding materials for your business (Logo, business card, rack card, flyer, poster, signs), and do you want to keep that style?

Our Favourite Design Tools

  • Elementor
  • Figma
  • Affinity Designer
  • Photoshop

Content-First Design

We require that your content be ready or mostly ready before we start the design process. Designing for the actual content is always more effective than using sample text and photos, and it can also save you money by preventing us from having to repeat steps.
