For when you need momentum — not another tab open
Your VIP Design Day
That website to-do list you keep postponing? Consider it handled. A dedicated day of one-on-one design, strategy, and guidance to move your site forward, without a long-term commitment.
A Design Day may be right for you if…
-
You want focused, one-on-one strategy
You’re craving dedicated time to talk through your website with someone who knows what they’re doing. Whether it’s a 1-hour strategy session or a half-day intensive, we’ll map out next steps, create a clear action plan, and work through updates together — with guidance you can actually use.
Use this as needed with ‘done with you’ support (available virtually or in person within Waterloo Region). -
Your website feels almost right — but not quite
Something’s off. The layout, the flow, the details. You don’t need a full rebuild; you just want your site to finally feel cohesive, intentional, and aligned with where your business is now.
-
Your time is better spent elsewhere
Keeping your website current shouldn’t live on the back burner. Design Days are perfect for updating blogs, events, portfolios, imagery, or content so your site stays fresh, relevant, and reflective of your work.
-
You want confidence on the backend
SEO, layout tweaks, and technical details don’t need to be a guessing game. A Design Day ensures your website is set up properly behind the scenes so it’s not just current, but actually working for you.
What Can We Work On?
You don’t need to spend another late night tweaking your website or forcing things to work. Your business deserves a site that’s current, intentional, and actually doing its job.
You focus on running your business & I’ll take care of the website. Design Days are flexible by design and tailored to what will make the biggest impact right now. Here are a few ways we can use the time.

Template X Design Day
Love the idea of a faster launch — but still want it to feel like you?
Choose one of the Birch & Bud Design Co. templates, then add dedicated design time for a personalized setup and live tutorial. You’ll leave with a site that feels aligned, intentional, and ready to move forward — without starting from scratch.
Template-only pricing ranges from $149–$349, with Design Day support added based on what you need.
Not quite your style?
You can still book a Design Day or Re-Style Week using a template from one of my recommended shops. I’ll customize the design, structure, and styling so you can launch in about a week with a website that feels considered, not cookie-cutter.
