  • Our work together begins with an initial inquiry form. to discuss your project, review the Core Package, and explore any relevant add-ons. If it’s a fit, you’ll receive your proposal, contract, and first invoice (50%) to confirm your start date.

  • You’ll complete a detailed brand questionnaire and upload all your content — images, copy, and any existing branding. Once ready, we’ll meet for a prep call to review everything, finalize your site structure, and align on tone, direction, and flow. After the call, you’ll have one week to refine your content before we begin.

    We are so happy that our new website feels special and truly reflects who we are and what we do.

    “We are so happy with our new website! We found Audrey online and decided to work with her as we loved her refined design aesthetic and appreciated how her own website navigated so easily. Working with her we also discovered that she is patient, super organized and dedicated to making sure our brand shone through. She could see our vision so clearly and could articulate it even better than we could. Couldn't recommend her more, we are so happy that our new website feels special and truly reflects who we are and what we do. Can't wait to work with Audrey on our next project! ”

    The final product was better than I had envisioned and I will forever be grateful.

    “ I had the opportunity to work with Audrey when she created a website for my business. She is incredibly creative and a great partner to work with. She is organized and gathered all the necessary information before reflecting back the vision I had for my brand. She is thorough and pays close attention to the details that I completely overlooked, making my vision and ideas come together with fluidity. It is evident that she has a wide range of experiences in both photography and web design and offered creative insights with confidence and respect. The final product was better than I had envisioned and I will forever be grateful. I look forward to continuing my working relationship with Audrey as we move forward with future projects.”

    I love how she used the design elements to make a unique website that channels what I needed for my brand redesign.

    “Audrey is fantastic. She's organized, thoughtful, and very very good at knowing what is eye-catching. She listens carefully and is able to make design choices that I didn't know I wanted (but I did! I really did!). I'm so glad I chose to work with her! She kept us on task, and explained clearly what she needed of me. She also accommodated an oversight I had on timing. Most importantly, I love how she used the design elements to make a unique website that channels what I needed for my brand redesign. It's also easy to update with her video instructions. Thank you, Audrey!!!!”

  • "I'm not sure there is anybody else on the planet who could have started with nothing, and created something so amazing"

    “ What an incredible experience it was to work (it actually felt much more like play) with Audrey on the creation of my website. She held my hand, and guided me effortlessly through a process that I was completely unfamiliar with. I believe that her technical skills, in combination with her artistic abilities, make her a great partner for anyone looking to create something incredibly inspirational, and highly functional. Beyond just the website creation, she helped flush out the entire look and feel of what Group Effect has now become. I'm not sure there is anybody else on the planet who could have started with nothing, and created something so amazing, and something that fit so perfectly for my needs.”
