Every project begins with understanding your goals, audience, and story — a collaborative process grounded in user experience strategy and creative design thinking to bring your vision to life.
Our Process
-
Discovery & Strategy
We start by understanding your goals, audience, and vision through collaborative sessions. You'll complete a detailed strategy questionnaire, and we'll schedule a kickoff call to align on project scope, timeline, and success metrics.
What you'll need: Branding, analytics data, user feedback, and stakeholder availability for interviews.
-
Design & Development
Our team creates custom designs tailored to your brand, with 2-3 review sessions for feedback and refinements. You'll have access to a staging site to see real-time progress.
What you'll need: Content (copy, images, videos), timely feedback, and availability for review sessions.
-
Testing & Refinement
Before launch, we thoroughly test your site across devices and browsers. We check functionality, load times, SEO settings, and user flows to ensure everything works perfectly. Any final adjustments are made during this phase.
What you'll need: Final content approvals and sign-off on any last-minute requests.
-
Launch & Support
We ensure a smooth launch, provide training, and offer ongoing support so you can confidently manage your site. You'll receive documentation, tutorial videos, and 30 days of post-launch support for any questions or adjustments.

Design Partner Retainer: $4,000/month (launching Q3 2026)
Every project includes strategic discovery, custom design, conversion optimization, and post-launch support. Book a discovery call to explore which package aligns with your business goals.
-
Yes. We understand that $12,000-$20,000 is a significant investment. We offer flexible payment structures:
50% deposit, 50% at launch (standard)
Three equal payments (at contract signing, midpoint, and launch)
Custom arrangements (discussed on a case-by-case basis for the right clients)
Payment plans are finalized during the proposal phase based on your project timeline and needs.
-
Strategic Website Design: 6 weeks from contract signing to launch
Brand + Web Experience: 8-10 weeks from contract signing to launch
Timelines assume timely feedback and content delivery from you. We build buffer time into every project, but delays on content, revisions, or decision-making will extend the timeline. We'll provide a detailed project roadmap during onboarding so you know exactly what to expect.
-
We build on Squarespace and Shopify, choosing the right platform based on your business needs.
Squarespace is our go-to for:
Service-based businesses, coaches, consultants, and creatives
Portfolio and brand websites
Businesses with straightforward e-commerce needs (digital products, small inventory)
Clients who want to manage their own site easily
Shopify is our recommendation for:
Product-based businesses with larger inventories
E-commerce brands prioritizing sales, conversions, and advanced commerce features
Businesses needing robust inventory management, shipping integrations, and analytics
Brands planning to scale their online store significantly
Both platforms offer:
Client empowerment: You can make updates without a developer
Reliable hosting and security: No plugin vulnerabilities or server management headaches
Beautiful, responsive design: Mobile-optimized out of the box
Integrated tools: Everything you need without cobbling together third-party plugins
Lower total cost of ownership: No separate hosting fees or maintenance nightmares
During our discovery call, we'll recommend the best platform for your specific business model and goals. You get our strategy and design expertise either way, plus the ability to own and manage your site long-term.
-
Absolutely. While Golden Launch Creative is based in Atlanta, we work with clients nationwide (and occasionally internationally). All of our projects are conducted remotely via video calls, project management tools, and collaborative design platforms.
That said, if you're in the Atlanta area, we're always happy to meet in person for discovery sessions or strategy workshops.
-
Yes—most of our clients come to us with an existing website that's no longer serving their business. Whether you outgrew a DIY template, your brand evolved, or your site simply isn't converting, we can help.
Our approach isn't just a "redesign"—it's a strategic rebuild. We audit what's working (and what's not), refine your positioning and messaging, and create a new digital experience designed for your current business goals.
If your current site is mostly working and you just need tweaks or updates, our Design Partner Retainer (launching Q3 2026) might be a better fit.
-
Item deWe'll guide you through everything, but here's what helps us deliver your best possible website:
Content & Copy:
Existing website copy (if applicable) or clarity on your messaging
High-quality photos of you, your work, your products, or your team
Logo files and any existing brand assets
Testimonials or client success stories
Strategic Input:
Your business goals (revenue targets, audience growth, etc.)
Understanding of your ideal client or customer
Competitors or inspiration (websites you love or hate)
Access & Tools:
Squarespace account (we can help you set this up)
Domain name (or we'll help you secure one)
Any integrations you want (email platform, scheduling tool, etc.)
Don't worry if you don't have everything ready—we'll create a roadmap during onboarding and work through it together.scription
-
Absolutely. Every website we design is fully responsive, meaning it adapts beautifully to desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. In fact, we design mobile-first because most of your visitors will discover you on their phones.
We test thoroughly across devices and browsers before launch to ensure a seamless experience everywhere.
-
We provide copy strategy and guidance—meaning we'll help structure your messaging, suggest what each page should communicate, and give feedback on tone and clarity.
However, we don't write full website copy as part of our standard packages. If you need a professional copywriter, we have trusted partners we can refer you to, and we collaborate seamlessly with copywriters throughout the project.
Alternatively, many clients write their own copy with our strategic direction, and we refine it together during the design process.
-
Every project includes post-launch support:
Strategic Website Design: 30 days of support for bug fixes, minor tweaks, and questions
Brand + Web Experience: 60 days of support plus a training session to help you manage your site confidently
After that, you're fully empowered to manage your own site. If you want ongoing support for updates, optimization, or new pages, our Design Partner Retainer (launching Q3 2026) is the perfect solution.
We also offer one-off updates or new page creation on a project basis if you need something down the road.
-
No — we're a website design studio, not an SEO agency. However, every site we build includes SEO best practices: clean site structure, optimized page speed, mobile responsiveness, schema markup, and keyword-optimized content. We set you up for search success from day one, but we don't provide monthly SEO management or link-building services.
-
Yes! Our Brand + Web Experience package ($20,000) includes complete visual identity design—logo, color palette, typography, and brand guidelines—alongside your strategic website.
This package is perfect for:
New businesses building their brand from scratch
Established businesses going through a complete rebrand
Evolving brands whose visual identity no longer matches their mission or market position
We start with brand strategy (values, positioning, messaging) before we design anything visual. This ensures your logo and website work together as one cohesive transformation, not two separate projects.
If you already have a strong brand identity that just needs minor refinement or doesn't need to change at all, our Strategic Website Design package ($12,000) might be a better fit—we'll integrate your existing brand seamlessly into your new website.
Not sure which package is right for you? That's exactly what our discovery call is for. We'll assess where your brand is and recommend the best path forward.
-
Three things set us apart:
1. Strategy-driven design.
We don't start with "what looks pretty." We start with "what will make your business grow?" Every design decision is rooted in user psychology, conversion principles, and your specific goals.2. Transformation, not transactions.
You're not hiring us to build a website. You're hiring us to transform how your business shows up digitally. We care about your success and measure ours by the results you get.3. True partnership.
You're not just a project number. We bring ideas, challenge assumptions, and advocate for what will serve your business best—even if it's uncomfortable. That's what a design partner does.If you want someone to execute your exact vision without question, we're not the right fit. But if you want a strategic partner who will push you toward excellence, let's talk.
-
Simple:
Step 1: Book a discovery call using the link on our website. This is a no-pressure, 45-minute conversation where we'll discuss your business, goals, and whether we're the right fit.
Step 2: If it feels like a match, we'll send you a detailed proposal outlining scope, timeline, investment, and next steps.
Step 3: Once you sign the contract and submit your deposit, we'll send you a welcome packet and kick off the project with a strategy session.
Ready to transform your digital presence? Let's build something golden.
-
That's exactly what our discovery call is for. We'll ask strategic questions about your business, goals, timeline, and budget, then recommend the best fit.
Generally:
Strategic Website Design ($12K) is perfect if you have a clear brand identity and just need a high-converting website
Brand + Web Experience ($20K) is ideal if your brand and messaging need refinement alongside your website
Design Partner Retainer ($4K/month) works best if you're already launched and need ongoing optimization and support
Still unsure? Book a call and we'll figure it out together.
