Three months of nothing, then one week.

(Overview)

Christina Chalmers had gone out on her own and needed a site to launch behind. She’d already paid a developer. Three months later she had a coming soon page and no answers.

The Challenge

No updates. No visible progress. And a growing sense that her design direction wasn’t being taken seriously by someone who had told her it could be done and then made it clear it couldn’t.

She’d spent years in marketing. She knew exactly what she wanted and had already designed it. So this wasn’t a creative problem. The money was gone, the trust was gone with it, and her company couldn’t officially launch until somebody fixed it.

What We Did

We got her live in a week, translating her own design onto a real site almost one to one, animations and effects included.

What that actually bought her was permission to start. She launched officially, behind something she liked, and immediately began publishing posts about her experience in the field. An agency founder without an agency site is asking people to take her word for it. She stopped having to.

On the check-in since, she reported it’s been a strong driver both for showing her work and for winning clients.

How We Empowered Them

Self-hosted, self-maintained, minimal plugins, by design. She owns the whole thing and hasn’t needed us since.

“My favorite part, what I think is your secret sauce, are the questions you asked before we officially met for kickoff. They helped me really rethink my business goals and my unique service proposition. It helped me finalize the structure I so needed.”

“goodvillage sets the standard when it comes to web development. They are experts at taking ideas from ideation to actualization while ensuring the customer journey. You are exactly who you think you are.”
