At The Kate Collective creativity, business, honesty and integrity are front of mind. Providing each client a personalized experience and a meaningful,
thoughtful brand is essential.
I'm Katie, owner and designer. My goal is to ensure you have a brand that books the clients you really want, while providing an experience that makes you feel like family. You can learn more about me over on my website, but for now, I hope that this guide serves to share what I offer, how it'll benefit you, and how we can make it happen, together.
Each package that I offer is designed to ensure that you have a complete experience and a complete project. From strategy and research to thoughtful creation. You'll come away with a credible and beautifully designed brand identity, a website that get you booked, and the know-how to put all of these new tools into practice. Your online and offline presence will come full circle with a complete brand glossary, brand guidelines, complete social media kit & offline collateral.
Let's meet up for a cup of coffee (virtually of course) so that we can get to know each other. This is an opportunity for you to share all about your business, your goals, and your vision for this project.
I'll take the time to further dive into the process, put together a custom strategic project strategy, and brainstorm with you.
We can talk about timelines, what to expect and payment plan information if that's something you're interested in.
Once we determine we are a good fit for each other + have an agreed upon project timeline, I will send you an official proposal + contract. An accepted proposal, signed contract and paid deposit will officially secure your project dates on my calendar.
From there I will activate your personal client portal, send you a custom project timeline so you're always in the know, and kick-off your assigned homework!
When your project officially begins I will start out by doing some extensive market + competition research. You will have a couple of worksheets to complete providing me some more in-depth information on your brand and ideal client.
I will create your mood board and ideal client profile. We will also work together to curate your brand glossary and business goals.
Let's start designing! You've approved your brand moodboard and brand voice guide. I will be strategically designing your new brand identity and Showit website. Your brand visuals are only one part of the overall experience. I want to ensure you understand how they're all used & why I made the design decisions I did. We will talk through it together and you'll have an opportunity to make revisions along the way.
Happiest day of the whole project! Your new website is now published live and I deliver your final branding files to you! I'm here for you celebrating and doing a little happy dance! There may or may not be a special launch day delivery involved for you. :)
Our work isn't finished, we will have one last Zoom meeting so that I can turn your website over to you and show you how to make updates as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What if I know I am ready, but am unsure exactly what I want my branding and website to look like?
This is more common than you think! We will go through a phase of "discovery" where we will uncover all of this and get to the heart of your business. If you know you are ready, don't hesitate to get started! I will help you get there.
Do you offer custom copywriting?
Copywriting is not included in the package, but is highly recommended. Copywriting is what will help you rank for SEO as well as guide those dream clients through the page(s) of your website. We have a list of recommended copywriters for you to outsource separately and we will work closely with your selected copywriter.
What website platform do you use?
Our websites are designed and developed using Showit. We are confident you will love it, if you're not already using it. The support team, community, help docs, and ease of use are a few of the many reasons we love it for our clients.
Do you offer payment plans?
Our standard payment structure splits your investment up into four equal parts at various times through the booking and project process. If you need additional installments please let us know and we will work out a custom payment plan option.
What other fees will I need to be concerned about?
You will need to purchase your domain and setup your Showit subscription. In addition, if you have any e-commerce needs, please let us know so we can provide you with a custom quote for development. Copywriting is also an additional fee and varies based on writer and scope of work.
What can I expect when our time together is finished?
We love to continue engaging with our clients and foster an ongoing relationship with you!
Immediately following your project we will be contracted for a set amount of time to help with anything that may need attention. You will also be setup with a website handoff guide so that you can confidently manage your website moving forward.
