Why the Tailoring Process Is A+

you're on a shorter timeframe

When time is of the essence, the tailoring process ensures you get a professional website without the extended wait of a full build. You’ll be up and running quickly with a site that reflects your brand perfectly.

you want to work with someone that *gets you*

I take the time to understand your vision, ensuring that every customization feels like it was made just for you. It’s a collaborative process designed to reflect your unique brand identity.

you want premium designs at non-premium prices

Enjoy the best of both worlds—premium-quality design without the premium price tag. Template tailoring gives you a high-end look while keeping your budget in check.

you don't want to diy it all yourself

Skip the hassle of doing it all alone. With template tailoring, you get the professional touch without the stress of figuring out every design detail yourself.

Beyond the Template

how this works

THE TAILORED EXPERIENCE

Brand Consultation

We'll meet to discuss your vision for your online presence — who you want to attract, what you value, how you want your website to feel, and ensure that a template customization is a great fit for your brand / what custom elements, if any, would be required to end up with a finished product that makes you excited to show up online.

Select A Template

We'll work together to choose the TONIC template that most closely represents the website your brand's been dreaming about. Can't decide? No problem. I've curated a selection of my favorites, and have experience knowing how to customize any design to fit your style. 

Customize + Tailor

After our kickoff call, where you'll provide me with images, content and anything else we'll need for success,  over a period of about 4 weeks, I'll work closely to transform your template into something much, much more — a powerful, stunning tool for your brand and business.

Launch in no Time!

One of the great things about starting with a template? The entire process is expedited. My template customization projects typically proceed in a timeframe of 3-4 weeks from initiation. Launch the site you can't wait to show off and get back to doing what you love most. 👌🏼

A tangible baseline

TONIC's templates are already designed programmed to perfection, built with pages and pages of stunning, customizable sections. Because we can see what's available, we can easily edit, refine, and make changes.

Benefits of Starting with a Template vs. Custom Design

acCelerated timeline

Because we're tailoring a template rather than starting from scratch, the timeframe can be cut down significantly. While custom sites with my studio typically take between 4-6 months, a template customization can happen in as little as one day. 

Proven framework 

TONIC's templates are my favorite in the industry because their strategy is second to none — they're designed with a proven sales strategy and built to convert.

A template customization might be right for you if:

You're a visual person who know what you love most when you see it.

You want an elevated, customizable site that you can control and edit yourself in the future.

You like having the framework of a template, but want it to feel tailored specifically to your brand.

You like the idea of starting from a template, but want someone to customize it for you.

You have a somewhat simple site in mind, not 15+ pages or e-commerce needs.

You want a premium, stunning website design at a fraction of the cost.

Absolutely! While we start with a pre-designed template, the customization process ensures your site feels completely unique to your brand. From color palettes to layout adjustments and content, everything is tailored to reflect your business’s personality and vision.

Will my website still be unique if I’m using a template?

01/05

Yes, the Showit template is purchased separately and I can offer an exclusive 15% off discount code if you chose a TONIC template when you work with me. Once you’ve chosen a template from TONIC, Showit, or another trusted source, I’ll take it from there and customize it to fit your brand seamlessly.

Do I need to buy the Showit template myself?

02/05

Typically, the customization process takes about 2-4 weeks, depending on the scope of the project and revisions. We’ll create a clear timeline together upfront, so you’ll know exactly what to expect every step of the way.

How long will the template customization take?

03/05

Yes! Showit is incredibly user-friendly, which makes it easy for you to manage and update your content after the customization is complete. I’ll make sure you feel confident navigating the platform, and I’m always here if you need additional support.

Can I make changes to the website myself after it’s customized?

04/05

No worries! If you don’t have a defined brand yet, we can include brand styling as an add-on service. I’ll help you establish a cohesive look and feel that reflects your business, from colors and fonts to logos and beyond.

What if I don’t have a brand style guide yet?
