The Starter Site | Semi-Custom Website in a Week

Relaunch Your Business With a Semi-Custom Showit Website in One Week

Why choose The Starter Site?

The Starter Site takes you from feeling embarrassed about sending people to your site to feeling confident that your online presence is doing the heavy lifting. You get polished design, strategic structure, and quick turnaround, so you can launch and move on.

Who is The Starter Site for?

The Starter site is for business owners who are tired of over thinking their website. You’ve probably been piecing your site together late at night, googling how to “design a website,” and hoping it looks decent enough. But deep down, you know your brand deserves more than a passable online presence

What do I get in the semi-custom 3-page Showit Starter Site?

I designed The Starter Site package to be a lightweight option for entrepreneurs who want results fast. This is also perfect for businesses that have a distinct “season” and procrastinated until the last minute to get their website in shape. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

The Starter Site Deliverables

  • 60-Minute Pre-Build Strategy
  • Website Copy Guide
  • Light Brand Refinement (Color Palette, Font Selection, & Primary Logo)
  • Semi-Custom 3 Page Showit Website
  • Mobile Optimization + Basic SEO
  • 2 Hours of Post-Launch Edits
  • Complimentary Coming Soon, 404, and Contact

See The Starter Site in Action

Past clients are always surprised just how beautiful a semi-custom site can be when the process is led by a strategic brand design (me). The results of The Starter Site always impress just how personalized something can be even when working with a lightweight brand and templated website outline. Take a look at a few Starter Sites past Nous Sommes Creative clients have launched in a week or less.

The Starter Site Saves You From Website Overwhelm

You know what isn’t fun? Staying up until the late hours of the night and trying to fuss with a website builder. You just want a website that works, but you’re overwhelmed by how much you need to know to even use a basic web tool. And just when you think you got it right, you remember you have to make sure it looks good on mobile.

Trade your late night “fuck this” for 10:30am “fuck yeah” check-ins with me. I created The Starter Site package to save your website from itself and save you the overwhelm and frustration.

Strategic Starter Site | 3-Page Showit Website Design

A common misconception is that you need a massive footprint to get a website that works strategically. Well I’m happy to tell you, that just isn’t the case. Through years of working at agencies and leading lean marketing teams I have the simple website layout down to a science. And I have three Starter Site layouts I recommend based on your industry, product, and goals. During our pre-build strategy call I’ll recommend which Starter Site layout would be best for you and your business.

Customize Your Package: Optional Add-Ons for More Impact

I’m not a huge fan of one size fit all solutions, like they just don’t make sense to me. So I designed a la carte add-ons that meet you and your business where you are. Here’s how you can customize your Starter Site package:

Website Copywriting | $1,200

You know what the second biggest complaint of building a website is beyond the actual design? Writing the website. How many words does this need to be? How do I describe this? Sometimes it’s just easier to have someone else handle it. By adding the Website Copywriting add-on you get:

  • Done for you copy for your Starter Site
  • Copy written to please humans and search engines
  • 2 Rounds of revisions

Mini-Brand Expansion | $650

I try my absolute hardest to push the light brand refinements as far as they can go, but adding on the Mini Brand Expansion is my most popular add-on for The Starter Site for a reason. Sometimes you just need a little bit more. While this isn’t a complete brand revamp, the Mini Brand Expansion allows to dive a little bit deep into your brand. This is highly recommend for those who want a new elevated look and feel, but are working with a budget and The Signature Package feels too out of reach for the time being. With a Mini Brand Expansion for The Starter Site you’ll get:

  • Brand new primary logo
  • Secondary Logo
  • 2 Brand elements of your choosing

Launch Campaign | Starts at $1,200

Make your brand launch count! I used to reach the end of working with a client and hand over all their assets and they would ask the question “how do I share this with my followers?” And so the Launch Campaign was born. This Starter Site add-on includes a fully planned and design brand launch strategy with content spanning either two or four weeks. The strategy is comprised of:

  • Growth oriented social media strategy
  • One static post designed for your time frame selected
  • One Instagram story prompt a day for your time frame selected
  • An email campaign for your time frame selected (no more than 6 emails)
