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

What is a VIP Day & 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!

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?
    Typically, in an 8-hour timespan of a VIP Day, we can accomplish either a semi-custom website, or a basic branding package, as I mentioned above. Or, if you aren't needing either one of those, and you're looking for some other graphic design or marketing help, such as what's listed below, we can typically get 1 -3 of the things listed below done in a day, or you have the option to book a half day for $997 if you're only needing one of these things or something small but tedious (to you!) done! Create branded social media templates to help you stay on-brand and cohesive with your social media content using my signature pack of 60+ social media templates Create a semi-custom website starting from a professionally designed Wix or Squarespace template that we customize and tailor to your business and your branding Create a basic logo package for you that includes a primary logo, secondary logo, sub-mark logo, color palette curation, brand font pairing, and PDF brand guidelines packet We can do a website refresh or revamp (this is also great for my past website or branding clients who are looking to make some updates to their website) or redesign your website on Wix or Squarespace We can set up and integrate Flodesk email marketing and your lead magnet into your website so you can start building your email list I can batch up to 3 SEO-focused blog content for you if you're way too busy and don't have the time to do this each month! We can add additional features, automations, or advanced integrations to your existing Wix or Squaresapce website such as adding an online course to your site, a video channel platform within your site, e-commerce capabilities, booking capabilities, online ordering, a membership plan, members area, and more! And many other things! These are just some examples! Reach out if you have something specific related to your branding, website or marketing that you'd like done!
  • 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 VIP Days and not a typical custom project?
    To make a long story short, I noticed a gap in the market. As a fellow small business owner, I'm sure you know that there are levels to this scaling-your-business thing! Not every business owner or entrepreneur that reaches out to work together is in a place or stage in their business where they're ready to invest thousands in full-scale custom work. A lot of newer start-up businesses, entrepreneurs building up their side hustle, and those who are in the beginning stages of scaling their brand a lot of the time don't have the budget or ability to invest thousands of dollars into a custom brand identity or advanced website right away, but that doesn't mean that they still aren't in need of professional design help! So, VIP Days are the perfect compromise— especially if you're a busy business owner who doesn't have the time, or the know-how when it comes to crafting a beautiful brand or website. So you still get to work with a professional designer on a semi-custom or smaller scale branding or website project, without breaking the bank! It's a great win and a no-brainer for newer business or those on a budget! It's also great if you need a new logo package or a website done ASAP.
  • Can I book just a half-day VIP Day?
    Yes! After we hop on our discovery call together and discuss your project and what all you're needing done and looking for, we can decide then if your project can be done in just a half-day, or if you need a full day. To book a half-day (8 am - 1 pm), the investment is $997!
  • What is the VIP Day timeline/process look like?
    If you book a VIP Day with me, you'll need to ensure that you'll have immediate access to a computer (not your cell phone) from 8 am to 5 pm that day, which is the typical timeline for all of my VIP Day projects, to review any work that I send over, as well as have your phone readily available in the event that I need to call you for something! VIP Days are all about efficiency, so I'll need you to be able to respond to emails and look over things in a timely and efficient manner, so having access to your computer is a must. Please avoid scheduling any other appointments, meetings, etc, during this day, as I'll need quick access to you to ask questions, or I might need you to send me things I might need throughout the day! No matter what type of project we are working on together, whether that's a semi-custom website, basic logo package, or something else, I'll ensure that you have a homework checklist of everything I'll need from you no later than one week prior to our project date. If you do not have everything to me by one week prior to our project date, your project will automatically get bumped to my next available date. If we have to bump the project more than once, you'll have to pay a rescheduling fee of $250 on top of your project total that's due. Typically, the morning of, you can expect a kick-off email from me at 8 am going over the project and any last-minute things I can think of that I might need from you for the project, going over the timeline for the day, and then I'll get started! I typically check-in with you around 1 pm if we're working on a website together, in order to get the bulk of your feedback and revision requests, then I'll work on making those adjustments and updates to the site, and you'll get two more opportunities for smaller tweaks and final edits before we launch at the end of the day. If we're working on a basic logo package, the time that I check-in varies, depending on how the project and creativity is flowing, but it's usually between 11 am and 12 pm. Then, similarly to a website VIP Day, you'll give me the bulk of your feedback and revision requests then at that time, and then you'll get two more opportunities for smaller tweaks, and final edits & refinements before we wrap up at the end of the day! If it's something on your branding/website/marketing to-do list, we'll go over the timeline more after we discuss your project details!
  • 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?
    Absolutely! If you're interested in a semi-custom website and a basic branding package, you can book two VIP Days, and we'll take care of one on each day! You'll get 5% off your project total if you book two VIP Days days (or more). This excludes half days!
  • 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.
  • Can I just do one month of maintenance to start?
    We only offer a minimum commitment of 3 months, because when maintaining your online presence, especially when SEO is involved, it can take a minimum of 3 months or so to start seeing tangible results. If after the 3-month commitment you decide you want to take on the task of maintaining your website yourself, there is no obligation to re-up and continue the commitment if it's not financially feasible for you! 😊 No hard feelings!
  • 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.
