The Curated Edit:
A 24 Hour Website Refresh

 Bridging the gap between your physical work and your digital home.

Your work belongs in the pages of an editorial magazine, but often, the digital 'first impression' of a studio doesn't quite match the caliber of the spaces they create.

“Cue” The Curated Edit

A focused, 24-hour design intensive where I step into your Squarespace site as a strategic partner to refine, polish, and elevate your online presence—without the 3-month timeline.

If your digital presence no longer reflects the caliber of your work, you’re in the right place:

  1. The Visual Gap: Your physical projects belong in a magazine, but your website is still stuck in the "startup" phase.

  2. The Portfolio Lag: You have stunning new imagery ready for the world, but your current layout makes the update feel like a mountain you don’t have time to climb.

  3. The Value Disconnect: Your expertise and rates have evolved, yet your online home is still telling a story from two years ago.

  4. The Referral Hesitation: You find yourself sending potential clients to Instagram instead of your website because it feels more "current."

  5. The Time Barrier: You need a high-end, strategic refinement, but a three-month custom build doesn’t fit your current project load.

A Bespoke 24-Hour Intensive

Defining Your Edit

Since every studio is at a different stage of growth, we don’t follow a rigid template. Instead, we prioritize the refinements that will move the needle most for your business. Below are several possibilities for our intensive, but they are by no means exhaustive. During our eight hours together, we will focus on 8 key refinements. You can choose from the examples below or bring your own specific "wish list" to the table. We’ll review your priorities together at 9:00 AM to ensure every minute is spent intentionally.

Visual Identity & Atmosphere

Focus: Aligning your site’s "soul" with a high-end, editorial aesthetic.

  • Implementing high-end font pairings

  • Updating site colors to a cohesive, professional palette.

  • A curated footer with social links, navigation, and professional credentials.

  • Designing a refined, on-brand area to capture email leads.

  • Updating the layout or info of your bio page to include a more editorial flow between your portrait and your "Philosophy" text.

  • Adding custom browser icons and professional brand details.

Portfolio & Narrative Design

Focus: Showcasing your projects with the impact they deserve.

  • Moving beyond basic grids to high-end, magazine-style project layouts.

  • Strategic layout and curation for up to 3 of your top projects.

  • Compressing and resizing high-res images to ensure they load instantly without losing crispness.

  • Adding stylized text areas to tell the story behind your projects.

  • Strategically placing quotes within your project galleries.

  • Adding "Next Project" links at the bottom of every gallery to keep visitors on your site longer.

Conversion & Strategy

Focus: Turning casual browsers into high-end inquiries.

  • Fixing glitches, overlapping text, and clunky menus on phone views.

  • Simplifying your contact page to increase the rate of new leads.

  • Designing a visual step-by-step guide of your client experience.

  • Ensuring clear, intentional "Inquiry" buttons on every page.

  • A branded landing page on your site to replace third-party link apps.

  • Updating page titles and descriptions so the right clients find you on Google.

How It Works (The Process)

Efficiency is the heart of this service. Here is how we will transform your site in 24 hours:

Once booked, you’ll receive a 'Curated Questionnaire' and a link to a private Google Drive folder. This is where you’ll drop your high-res project photos and any updated copy.

The Onboarding

The Kickoff

We’ll have a brief 15-minute alignment call at 9:00 AM on your scheduled date to confirm our priority list.

The Intensive

I spend the day inside your Squarespace 7.1 site, executing the design changes.

The Handover

Within 24 hours, I’ll send you a personalized Loom video walkthrough of every change made, along with 'handing over the keys' to your refreshed site.

The Investment

Secure your date with a one-time payment of $1,250. We keep the process streamlined so that when your intensive day arrives, my focus is entirely on your brand.

Your 24-Hour Refresh Includes:

  • The Curated Prep-Kit: A strategic questionnaire and private Google Drive to gather your goals and assets.

  • The Morning Kickoff: A 15-minute alignment call to finalize our priority list.

  • 8 Hours of Dedicated Design: A full day of focused refinements, from typography to mobile-first optimization.

  • The Final Reveal: A personalized Loom video walkthrough of every update made to your site.

  • The Handover: Immediate access to your refreshed digital studio.

Full payment is required to secure your date. This service is designed for studios who already have a Squarespace 7.1 site and are looking for professional refinement rather than a full ground-up build.

  • To protect the integrity of your refresh, all assets must be uploaded to our shared folder 48 hours before our date. If your content isn't ready, we will need to reschedule your intensive to a later date when your studio is prepared for its transformation.

  • Absolutely. The menu provided is a list of possibilities, but the day is bespoke to you. If you have a specific technical headache or a unique design idea, we can swap it in as one of your 8 refinements.

  • Every Refresh includes 7 days of post-intensive email support. If you find a small glitch or need a quick refresher on how to use a new feature I've implemented, I’m here to ensure you feel completely confident with the keys to your new site.

  • Not at all. I only ask for 15 minutes of your time at 9:00 AM for our kickoff call and that you stay reachable via [DM/Text] for the occasional "Option A or Option B" design choice. Otherwise, you are free to go about your design day while I handle the digital studio.

  • Yes. To ensure I can deliver the highest level of refinement in a 24-hour window, I am offering this exclusively within the Squarespace 7.1 (Fluid Engine) ecosystem.

  • This service is a Refresh, specifically designed for studios with an existing site that needs an editorial lift. If you are looking for a completely new, ground-up brand and website build, my Full Studio Build is a better fit.
