Dominate Your Branding or Website Project in Just One Day with a VIP Day

What is a VIP Day and Who Are They Right For?

A VIP Day is an intensive 8-hour session where we dive deep into your project, completing it in just one day. While other designers might call it "Website in a Day" or "Design Intensives," our VIP Day is all about delivering results fast.

 

Are you a new business with a tight marketing budget? Need a simple website but lack the time or expertise to build it? Want to skip the lengthy launch process of a full custom project? Or perhaps you just need a simple logo package to start.

 

A VIP Day is perfect for tackling various tasks on your design or marketing list, including creating branded social media templates setting up Flodesk & integrating an email capture form into your site, designing lead magnets, refreshing your website, writing blog content, adding advanced features or integrations to your site. Let's crush your design and marketing to-do list in just one day!

So how exactly does a VIP Day Work?

Our "Website In a Day" VIP Day ($1,997)

Our Website VIP Day or “Website In a Day” service is designed for businesses who are looking for a simple, basic, informational website to get them started. A Website VIP Day is a one-day design intensive where you can get a simple, semi-custom 4-page site designed and launched in just an 8-hour timeframe, making this option a no-brainer for businesses who are either on a budget but still want to work with a professional website designer, aren’t ready for a more complex website with all the bells and whistles just yet, or those who have a clear vision of what they’re looking for in their website and just need someone to execute that vision for them. Here's what’s Included:

 

  • A semi-custom website starting from a professionally designed Wix or Squarespace website template

  • Up to 4 pages (Home, About, Services, Contact)

  • Basic On-Page and Technical SEO (proper heading hierarchy, favicon, meta titles and descriptions, image alt text, image compression, and speed optimization)

  • One contact form for your visitors to easily get in touch with you

  • One email opt-in with your lead magnet or offer to help build your email list

  • Tailoring the template to your brand with your brand colors, fonts, copy, and images

  • Up to 3 rounds of revisions

Need Help With Something Else?

VIP Days aren't just good for semi-custom websites and logo packages! During a VIP Day, we can also work on any of the tasks you have on your design to-do list, such as making updates to your existing Wix or Squarespace site, branded social media templates, designing your e-books, lead magnets, or other marketing collateral, batching SEO-focused blog content, setting your Flodesk account so you can start growing your email list, training, troubleshooting, and more. You're also able to book half-day VIP Days as well if your project is brief and more small-scale!

How To Know If a VIP Day Is a Good Fit For Your Project

  • You know exactly what you need or are envisioning in a website or logo package and you just need a designer to help you execute that vision

  • You can make timely decisions when it comes to feedback and revisions without needing an extended amount of time to think about & approve things

  • You're not looking to have a huge or extensive, complex site with all the bells and whistles with lots of pages, in-depth features, & automations— you just need a professional site with all the essentials and basics to get you started

  • You might be operating on a smaller marketing budget right now, & you're not ready to spend a few thousand or more on a custom website or branding, or you need your website or brand launched like yesterday

  • What all can we fit into a VIP Day?
    In an 8-hour VIP Day, we can typically tackle a semi-custom website or a basic branding package— like I mentioned earlier. If you’re not needing either of those, but want help with graphic design or marketing tasks, we can usually get 1-3 of the following done in a day. You can also book a half-day for $997 if you just need one smaller task or something small but time-consuming (for you, at least!) handled. Here are some things we can work on during a VIP Day: Design branded social media templates to keep your content on-brand and cohesive (includes my signature pack of 60+ templates). Build a semi-custom website from a professionally designed Wix or Squarespace template, customized for your brand. Create a basic logo package that includes a primary logo, secondary logo, submark, color palette, font pairings, and a brand guidelines PDF. Give your website a refresh or revamp (perfect for past clients who need updates!) or a full redesign on Wix or Squarespace. Set up Flodesk email marketing and integrate your lead magnet into your site, so you can start building your email list. Batch up to 3 SEO-focused blog posts if you’re short on time and need fresh content monthly. Add advanced features or automations to your existing Wix or Squarespace site, like an online course, video channel, e-commerce, booking, membership areas, and more! These are just a few examples! If you’ve got something specific in mind related to your branding, website, or marketing, let me know and we can see if it fits into a VIP Day.
  • How much does a VIP Day cost?
    A VIP Day is an criminally good deal of $1,997 and the payment is split up into a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold your spot on my calendar, and the remaining 50% is due at the end of the VIP Day before sending over final deliverables or publishing any work. You can't beat this price for professional branding or website design if you're looking for a budget-friendly option! 🙌🏼
  • Why a VIP Day and not a typical custom project?
    A VIP day allows you to get a lot done in a focused, dedicated block of time— think of it as the fast lane to launching your brand or website! Instead of waiting weeks or months, we’ll tackle your project in a day, giving you end results much faster without compromising quality. It’s perfect for busy business owners who want to see progress now rather than later.
  • Can I book just a half-day VIP Day?
    Yes, you can! If you don’t need a full day or have smaller tasks, a half day is a great option. We’ll focus on your priority items and get them done efficiently. A half day, or 9 am to 1 pm is $997!
  • What is the VIP Day timeline/process look like?
    When you book a VIP Day with me, you'll need full access to a computer (not your phone!) from 8 am to 5 pm— this is our dedicated project time. Make sure you’re available to review work and respond to emails quickly. I may also need to call you throughout the day, so keep your phone handy! VIP Days are all about efficiency, so please avoid scheduling other appointments that day. I’ll need quick responses to keep things moving! No matter the project— whether it's a semi-custom website or a basic logo package— you'll receive a homework checklist one week before our VIP Day. If everything isn’t submitted by then, your project will be rescheduled to my next available date. If we have to reschedule more than once, there’s a $250 rescheduling fee. On the day of the project, I’ll kick things off at 8 am with an email outlining our plan one last time. If we’re working on a website, I’ll check in with you around 1 pm to gather your feedback and make revisions, with two more rounds of tweaks before we launch by the end of the day. For logo packages, I typically check in between 11 am and 12 pm to get your initial feedback, then we’ll refine the design with two more rounds of revisions before wrapping up around 5 pm! For other types of projects, we’ll go over the timeline together after discussing your project details. My goal is to make this day smooth, efficient, and fun— so you get what you need without the wait!
  • Can I book a VIP Day for my project, or do I need to book a custom project?
    This answer varies from person to person, depending on the scope and scale of what you're looking for and needing, and we will talk about this more on our discovery call if you're unsure! If you're looking for something along the lines of the things I've mentioned in the sections above, then a VIP Day might be the right fit for your project needs. If you're looking for a more extensive, complex website with lots of pages, more advanced features, automations, integrations, etc, or a full-scope brand identity complete with brand strategy, additional brand collateral, etc, then a custom project would be what you need and I'd be happy to give you a quote for that if we find that a VIP Day might not be the best fit. If you're wanting a full-scale website, then a custom project might be better for you! If you're wanting to refresh or revamp your site, or add additional pages to your site, need a comprehensive SEO plan, blog content, branded social media templates, or just need to mark some of your smaller marketing or design to-do's off your list, then a VIP Day (or half-day) is a great option!
  • Can I book more than one VIP Day if needed?
    Of course! If you're looking to handle bigger projects— like working on your basic logo package one day and your semi-custom website the next— booking multiple days makes sense. We typically space these out by at least a week to ensure everything is seamless, giving you time to review, reflect, and get excited about the next phase!
  • Can I customize my maintenance package and add add-ons?
    Absolutely! If you like a specific package, but want to add or swap some different add-ons to your quote, you can! We offer flexible add-on options so you can choose exactly what your website needs.
  • Are there any add-ons not listed here that I can request?
    If you have specific needs not covered by our listed add-ons, please reach out! We're always looking to expand our services to better support our clients.
  • Can I sign up for website maintenance with you if you didn't originally design my website?
    So, as long as your website is designed on Wix or Squarespace, I'd still be open to working with you on website maintenance, even if I didn't originally design your website, but under a few conditions... It must be designed by a professional designer, and not DIYed. The reason being, if your site is DIYed and it's been piecemealed together over the years, chances are your site might need a total overhaul before working with you on improving your online presence. If that's the case, and you do still want to work together on website maintenance, I'm all for it, but I'll likely recommend that we work together on a VIP Day together, first, in order to give your site a "face-lift" so we can then maintain that strong online presence we created together. We can go over this more, and address any questions you might have on our initial call together! 😊
  • How often can I change or add services to my maintenance plan?
    You can update your service selection at any time. We recommend reviewing your package and add-ons quarterly, if not during one of our 1:1 monthly meetings to ensure your website continues to meet your business goals.
  • What is included in a monthly site health check?
    Our monthly site health check is like a wellness checkup for your website. We review key areas like site speed, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, SEO performance, and user experience (UX/UI). This ensures your site is running smoothly and optimized for both visitors and search engines.
  • Do maintenance services and add-ons roll over if they aren't used in a month?
    Services are tailored to each billing cycle's specific needs and do not roll over. However, we can adjust your maintenance plan over time as needed to ensure you're getting the most value and that what you're getting makes sense for your budget and goals.
  • How do I choose which maintenance plan is right for me?
    The key to choosing the right website maintenance plan for you is really looking inward at your business, your goals, your budget, and what matters the most to you. If your budget is a little small right now, maybe the basic maintenance plan is all you can afford right now, and that's okay. The more important your site is to the overarching goals you have for your business, or if your site is a key tool in running your business, you should consider investing more and choosing a higher tier plan. Generally. the more you invest, the more ROI you should see from your website— that just makes sense. So that's something to keep in mind when deciding which plan is best for your business. If you need some guidance, I'm happy to discuss this more with you and help you decide (and don't worry, I won't just try to sell you on the highest tier just because! No sleazy sales tactics here!)
  • How are maintenance add-on services priced?
    Add-on services are priced on a case-by-case basis. This approach allows us to provide you with a customized solution that matches your website's unique needs and budget.
  • How can we get started with my website maintenance plan?
    Let's chat! I'd love to hop on a free, no obligation, 30-minute discovery call with you so we can talk about your maintenance needs, what you're looking for as far as maintaining your online presence, and we'll talk about which plan might work best for your goals and your budget. Fill out the form at the bottom of this page and I'll be in touch within 48 hours about scheduling a call!
  • Will adding additional service to my maintenance package extend the time needed for maintenance?
    We strive to complete all maintenance and add-on services in a timely manner. If any additional services extend the usual turnaround time, we'll communicate this clearly and work with you to find the best schedule.
  • Can I make changes to my website after it’s launched?
    Yes, you’ll have full control of your website after launch. With the recorded walkthrough tutorial, you’ll know how to make simple edits, update content, and add new pages as your business grows. If you need ongoing support, I also offer website maintenance plans for those who want someone to handle updates for them.
  • Do you work with custom designs or templates?
    At Thrive Design Co., we don’t do cookie-cutter templates. Every site we build is fully custom-designed for your brand, using Wix or Squarespace. We take your vision, goals, and branding into account to create a website that’s uniquely yours— no shortcuts or templates here! However, if you book a VIP Day website, for those types of one-day quick turnaround projects, I'll typically start from a professionally designed template and fully customize it to your branding, business, and industry!
  • What happens after the website launches?
    After launch, you’ll receive two weeks of post-launch tech support to help with any hiccups or ironing out anything that might come up, or to answer questions that come up as you get comfortable with your new site. You’ll also get a recorded website walkthrough video showing you how to edit and manage your site, so you’re never left in the dark.
  • Do you offer e-commerce solutions for service-based businesses?
    Yes! Even if you’re a service-based business, I can set up e-commerce features like booking systems, memberships, or online courses. If you’re selling services or digital products, we’ll integrate the necessary tools to help your business thrive. If you're looking for a services-based website with e-commerce integrated into it (verses solely a services-based website or solely an e-commerce site) these kinds of features can be built into your quote, starting at $500+.
  • Do you offer payment plans?
    Yes! To secure your spot on my calendar, a 50% deposit is required upfront. The remaining 50% will be split into biweekly installments throughout the duration of your project timeline, starting the day of your project start date, giving you flexibility while we build your site. If needed, I can also accommodate a 30% deposit, especially if your website quote is above $5K.
  • How do I know which package is right for me?
    If you’re a service provider looking for a professional website with all the essentials, the Website Essentials Package is a great fit. If you run an e-commerce, product-based business and need a store with product listings and categories, the E-Commerce Essentials Package is designed specifically for you. Not sure? Book a discovery call, and we’ll figure out the best option for your needs!
  • What’s the difference between the Website Essentials Package and the E-Commerce Essentials Package?
    The Website Essentials Package is perfect for service-based businesses that need up to 5 custom-designed pages (like Home, About, Services, etc.) to showcase their offerings and convert visitors into clients. On the other hand, the E-Commerce Essentials Package is specifically designed for product-based businesses, with additional features like product listings, category pages, and a shop setup to drive sales.
  • Do I need to provide content for my website?
    Yes! You’ll need to provide things like your logo, branding elements, and the written content for your site (such as your About page, services, and product descriptions). Don’t worry, though— I’ll give you a detailed checklist of everything I need, and I’m here to guide you through the process.
  • Is SEO included in my website package?
    Absolutely! Both packages include initial on-page and technical SEO setup, including optimizing your site’s structure, meta tags, and keywords, plus Google Analytics and Search Console setup. We want your site to be search-engine ready from day one!
  • Do you offer branding services as well?
    Yes! I offer branding packages that can complement your website design, including logo suite design, color palette selection, typography selection, brand strategy and much more. Whether you need a full brand identity or just a refresh, I can create a cohesive look for your business that seamlessly matches your website! Book any custom branding package along with any custom website package and get 10% off your project total!
  • How much involvement do I need during the design process?
    Your input is crucial! This is a collaborative process, through and through. I’ll need your feedback at key stages, like the design questionnaire, initial concept reviews, and final tweaks. But don’t worry— I'll guide you every step of the way, making sure the process is smooth and stress-free. And with a VIP Day, we can fast-track your project if you’re short on time!
  • How long will it take to build my website?
    For the Website Essentials Package, the timeline is typically 4-6 weeks, while the E-Commerce Essentials Package takes 6-10 weeks on average. Timelines may vary depending on how quickly we receive your content and feedback, but we’ll keep things moving as efficiently as possible!
  • What if I need more than 5 pages?
    No problem! If you need additional pages beyond what’s included in the package, we can customize your project quote to fit your specific needs. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll provide a customized quote!
  • How do I know if I need a full branding overhaul?
    You’re ready for professional branding if... You feel disconnected from your current branding You’re rebranding or expanding your business You feel like your competitors are overshadowing you You feel like your current branding no longer aligns with your business, audience, or goals You would say that you don't even really have a true pre-existing "brand" If you’re ready to elevate your brand and create something that truly represents your business, it’s time for a custom brand identity!
  • Can I book branding and web design services together?
    Yes! You can book both branding and website design services, and when you do, you’ll get 10% off your total project cost. This way, your website and branding are fully aligned and cohesive from the start.
  • What’s the difference between the Branding VIP Day and the Signature Branding Package?
    The Branding VIP Day is perfect if you need the essentials fast— like a complete standard logo package— delivered in just one day. It’s ideal for businesses on a budget or those who already have a clear vision of what they're looking for. The Signature Branding Package, on the other hand, is a much deeper dive into your brand’s identity and includes a full suite of branding elements with more time for revisions and exploration, along with comprehensive brand strategy.
  • What if I need extra logo concepts or revisions?
    No problem! I always do my best to hit the nail on the head the first go round, with just some minor tweaks to follow, but in the event that I do happen to miss the mark the first time, I offer additional logo concepts and extra revision rounds as add-ons to your package. If you want to explore different design directions or need more tweaks to perfect your branding, we can customize the package to meet your needs.
  • How involved do I need to be in the branding process?
    Your input is key! We start with a detailed questionnaire to capture your vision and preferences. After that, you’ll review mood boards, initial concepts, and provide feedback at key stages. The process is collaborative, but I’ll guide you every step of the way, making sure we’re creating something that truly reflects your brand.
  • Can you create branded social media templates or other marketing materials?
    Yes! We offer branded social media templates, business cards, email signatures, and more. These add-ons start at around $500+ and help ensure your branding is consistent across all customer touchpoints, making your business look polished and professional everywhere.
  • What if I'm not sure what I want for my brand?
    That’s totally okay! Part of my job is helping you discover your brand’s personality and style. Through our questionnaire, mood boards, and creative direction, we’ll explore what resonates with you and your target audience. By the time we’re done, you’ll have a clear, cohesive brand identity that fits your business perfectly.
  • What happens after the branding project is complete?
    Once your branding is finalized, you’ll receive a PDF brand guidelines document with clear instructions on how to use your new brand assets consistently, along with a link to an Air.inc album with all new, organized brand files and assets. This will ensure that your brand looks professional and cohesive across all platforms— whether it’s your website, social media, or print materials.
  • What's the payment schedule like?
    To secure your spot on my calendar, a 50% deposit is required upfront. The remaining balance will be split into installments throughout the project. We’ll set up a payment schedule that aligns with the project timeline, making it easier for you to budget while we build your brand. I can also accommodate a 30% deposit as well, if needed, especially if your project total surpasses $5K.
  • Do I get all the logo files I’ll need for print and web?
    Absolutely! You’ll receive your logos in multiple formats— JPG, PNG, and SVG, so they’re ready for anything from websites to business cards. If you need additional file formats, just let me know, and I’ll provide them.
  • What is brand strategy?
    Brand strategy is the blueprint for how your brand communicates with your audience. It defines your brand’s personality, tone of voice, target audience, values, mission, and overall market position, plus more. It’s not just about how your brand looks— it’s about how it feels and connects with your ideal clients. With a clear brand strategy, everything from your visuals to your messaging works together to create a cohesive, memorable experience that strengthens your brand and sets you apart from the competition. In my Signature Branding Package, you’ll get a comprehensive brand strategy guide to ensure your brand stands out and resonates on a deeper level!
  • How long does the branding process take?
    The Signature Branding Package typically takes about 6 - 8 weeks from start to finish. We move through each phase— discovery, design, and revisions— at a pace that ensures every detail is perfect. The Branding VIP Day offers a much faster turnaround, with your logo basic package completed in just one day!
