Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete a website project?
The timeline for a website project depends on the scope and complexity of the project. We'll work with you to establish a realistic timeline and keep you updated on our progress.

What type of businesses do you work with?

We specialize in helping small businesses, and aspiring entrepreneurs — people with passion, vision, and maybe a little chaos behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt “too small” for an agency or consultant, you’re in the right place.

Can I hire you for help with business operations?

Absolutely! We help clients streamline invoicing, set up project management tools, write SOPs, and create efficient workflows. Think of us as part-brand consultant, part-COO-for-hire (with better stationery).

Can you help with ongoing marketing efforts?
Yes, we offer ongoing marketing services to help you maintain and grow your online presence. From social media management to content creation, we can support your marketing efforts long-term.

What makes your branding strategy unique?
Our branding strategy is unique because we take the time to truly understand your brand and target audience. We tailor our approach to fit your specific goals and objectives.

What tools do you work with?

We’re flexible! For branding we use tools like Canva, Freepik, Adobe,  and Webador. For operations, we help clients with Google, QuickBooks, Square, Mailchimp, Excel, AI, and others — depending on what fits your workflow and tech comfort level.

Do you only work with local clients?

Nope! We work with clients across the U.S. via Zoom, email, and magic. If you're in the Lebanon, MO area — let us know. We love coffee meetups!

What does it cost to work with you?

We offer custom quotes based on your needs and budget. Most projects are more affordable than you might think. Websites start at $1,000 depending on scope. We also offer strategy calls and coaching by the hour for smaller budgets or specific needs.
