A lot of creative entrepreneurs start with a template. It made sense at the time — fast, affordable, and good enough to get moving. But you've outgrown it. Your work has evolved. Your audience has grown. And the website you launched two years ago is no longer telling the right story.

That is not a design problem. It is a strategy problem. And it is exactly what we solve.

What We Build

  • Strategic Landing Page

    Starting at $5,500

    One page. One offer. One conversion goal. Perfect for launches, new offers, course enrollments, or campaigns that need a dedicated home.

  • Strategic Website Design

    Starting at $12,000

    Your full digital presence, built from scratch. Discovery, strategy, UX mapping, custom design, and development — all in one engagement. For creative entrepreneurs and mission-driven brands ready to scale.

  • Brand + Web Experience

    Starting at $20,000

    For brands that need everything. Full visual identity — logo, color palette, typography, brand guidelines — plus a complete Squarespace website designed to carry it.

the work

What a strategic Squarespace website actually does.

Made By Bittersweet squarespace website

Made by BitterSweet

Squarespace Ecommerce

Stat: 4.52% ecommerce conversion rate — nearly double the industry average.

BitterSweet came to us with a powerful brand and products that deserved a storefront to match. We rebuilt their Squarespace ecommerce experience from the ground up — customer journey mapping, product page strategy, and conversion-focused design. The result was a site that turned browsers into buyers at nearly twice the rate of comparable online stores.

Toni Cade Bambara Documentary

TCB Documentary (Scribe Video Center)

Squarespace — Film & Cultural Institution

Stat: 1,447 site visits and 17 screening requests in the first 11 days after launch.

"I very much appreciated working with Kia Dyson at Golden Launch. Her process allowed her to understand the soul of what we hoped to communicate and figure out an elegant design strategy that realized our vision." — Louis Massiah, Scribe Video Center

The TCB Documentary site needed to do two things: honor the legacy of Toni Cade Bambara and drive real-world action — screening requests, partnerships, and press. It did both.

Jason Reynolds author website

Jason Reynolds

Squarespace — New York Times Bestselling Author

Stat: 1,447 site visits and 17 screening requests in the first 11 days after launch.

"I wanted something functional and fresh but once my site was completed, I realized that they'd actually created what would become a springboard for my business, which grew exponentially thereafter." — Jason Reynolds, Author

Jason Reynolds is one of the most recognized voices in American literature. His website needed to carry that weight while converting the right opportunities — speaking engagements, book sales, and school partnerships. It became the foundation his business grew from.

Bridgeforth imapact strategy firm

Bridgeforth

Squarespace — Impact Strategy Firm

Melanie R. Bridgeforth is a movement architect and former nonprofit CEO with over a decade of public policy wins across the American South. Her clients are referred, mission-aligned, and ready before they land on the page. The site didn't need to sell. It needed to confirm.

We built a cinematic, campaign-driven digital presence that leads with her policy wins and moves the right visitors directly into a booking conversation.

who we work with

We work with brands that are ready.

Golden Launch Creative is the right studio if you are:

  • Scenic landscape with a body of water, rolling grassy hills in the foreground, and rugged mountains under a cloudy sky in the background.

    A creative entrepreneur — author, filmmaker, artist, designer, photographer — who needs a digital presence as distinctive as your work.

  • Modern building with a large glass window set in a natural landscape with mountainous terrain in the background.

    A mission-driven organization or nonprofit ready to move beyond a basic website and into a platform that drives real action.

  • An established brand that has outgrown your current site and is ready for a strategic rebuild.

  • A new business with a clear direction, a defined audience, and the resources to invest in getting it right from the start.

We are not the right fit if you are still figuring out your direction, need a quick turnaround at a low price point, or want to make design decisions based on personal preference rather than conversion outcomes. There is a right time for this investment — and we would rather tell you that honestly than take on a project that is not set up to succeed.
