Design VIP Days

Knock Out That To-do List in Just One Day

With an experienced graphic and web designer in your corner, you’ll be amazed at how much can be accomplished in one focused Design VIP Day! Each design intensive is 100% focused on your business and is the most efficient way to work through your prioritized task list and create beautiful, branded client-facing materials FAST.

Create Your Custom Day

The best part of booking a Design VIP Day is that it’s totally unique to YOU and your business. In addition to a planning call to review your priorities and pre-work, you’ll have 7 hours of my complete, undivided attention on your day, as well as 30 days of follow up support. Some examples of projects we can typically complete during a Design VIP Day include…

Brand Refresh
Clean up your DIY logo and build out a full brand suite, complete with color palette, typography, and style direction

Web Site Refresh
Take your DIY web site to the next level with a site audit and as many design improvements as time allows (Squarespace / WordPress Divi theme)

Sales Page Build Out
Got your content and photos ready? Let’s build out your high converting sales page for your course or launch in Squarespace or WordPress (Divi theme)!

Lead Magnet / Opt-In / Freebie
Turn your content into a professionally designed PDF download for your web site’s email opt-in form

Investment Guides
Package your services guide into a beautiful PDF document that can be downloaded or sent to prospective clients outlining all of your offerings

Social Media Graphics
Planning a big launch or just looking for more consistency with your posts? Get professionally designed social graphics—I can even build them in your own Canva account to repurpose later!

Punchlist of Web Site Updates
If you’ve got a list of updates for your Squarespace or WordPress site, let me take them off your plate.

Marketing Materials
I love designing traditional print pieces like brochures, postcards, t-shirts, flyers, or anything else you might need to promote your business!

Other Digital Design
Maybe you need a short e-book or other type of specialized project. Let’s discuss what you’re looking for and see if it can be done in a day! I’m always happy to discuss custom requests.

 

 

Your Design VIP Day includes dedicated 1:1 consulting, design, and implementation time to work through a pre-determined set of requests. It does not guarantee specific deliverables (though I will work as quickly as possibly to get you there!). Additional VIP Days and half days can be added or stacked to complete more complex tasks or anything that cannot be finalized during our first day together. Your availability, responsiveness, feedback, and decisiveness during your VIP Day will also impact what is accomplished during the experience ✨.

How it Works

 

01 / Choose Your Day

Select a day from the booking calendar that works best for you. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your VIP Day. If you’d like to schedule a free Discovery call to review your project in more detail prior to booking, please click here.

02 / Connect for a Personalized Planning Session

We’ll connect via Zoom for a 45-minute session to review your prioritized list of requests and gather your project materials. You will receive specific instructions for pre-work that must be completed prior to your Design VIP Day so that we have everything we need to hit the ground running. During this planning session we’ll run through all of the project materials and come up with a clear plan for the day.

03 / Enjoy Your Design VIP Day

Time to get to work! During our uninterrupted day I will move through your list as quickly as possible, sending updates and screenshots via email for your feedback and approval. You will need to be available from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MST (with a half hour lunch break at 12:00 noon) to respond to quick emails and give approvals throughout the day.

At the end of the day I will package all of your files, create any necessary video tutorials, and deliver the final work.

04 / Follow Up + Support

If the day was not paid in full, you will receive an invoice the next day for the remaining 50% balance. All Design VIP Day clients then receive 30 days of email support to answer any questions related to the project. I’m also currently offering a bonus of up to an hour of edits that can be used within one week of your VIP Day for any additional tweaks that need to be made 🎉.

A Design VIP Day is For You if…

  • You have a clear understanding of what you need done and can help prioritize requests in order of urgency or importance

  • You are the sole decision maker who can make decisions quickly and provide clear feedback in real time

  • You have your content ready and want to skip the wait

  • You want to work with an experienced designer who can work at a fast pace, entirely focused on your business

  • You’re ready to cross those nagging off the list like YESTERDAY 👊

If this isn’t for you, that’s okay! Due West Design also offers traditional branding and web site packages with more conventional strategy and timelines (or if you’ve got multiple decision makers who need to weigh in).

In 2015 I earned my Charleston Digital Corridor CODEcamp certification for WordPress and I became a Squarespace Circle member in 2018. I’m also a proud member of the AIGA Colorado Springs Chapter.

Design VIP Day Policies

Pre-Work

In order to ensure a smooth and efficient Design VIP Day, it is critical that you complete your project pre-work at least 48 hours prior to your day. You will receive specific instructions for pre-work, which includes things like providing account logins and all supporting content, photos, etc. needed for the task.

Rescheduling

If there is an unavoidable conflict, we are able to reschedule your Design VIP Day one time if needed, with a minimum of 48 hours notice. The original deposit amount can be applied to a new date within 3 months after the initial payment is made, and the service can be booked at the original day rate.

Cancellations and Refunds

Unfortunately we are not able to offer refunds, as it is reserving time on my calendar that I have specifically set aside for you and your project. Once your 50% deposit is paid, we are able to reschedule your day if needed and the deposit can be applied to the new date (this is allowed as a one time courtesy).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When you select your Design VIP Day you will have the option of paying in full or paying for 50% when booking and 50% the day after your day is complete. Payments are processed online through Stripe, which accepts all major credit and debit cards, as well as online bank transfers.

  • A half day rate (3.5 hours + 30 minute planning session and 2 weeks of support) is available for all returning clients at the rate of $625/half day. First time clients must book a full day or full service offer (branding or web design) first.

  • I work primarily in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop), Squarespace, WordPress (specifically the Divi theme), Canva, Figma, Microsoft Office, and Google Docs/Slides. I am familiar with other platforms as well, which we can discuss by email. Let me know what you’re interested in and I’ll do my best to help! If I’m not the right fit, I’m always happy to help you find a professional who specializes in the application you need.

  • Design VIP Days run from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MST (I’m based in Colorado), with a half hour break for lunch at noon. If you are in a different time zone and these hours are difficult for you, we may be able to adjust the times slightly, or have the option of splitting the VIP Day into two half day sessions. We can discuss your situation further by email, a free discovery call, or during our 45 minute planning session.

  • Your Design VIP Day cannot be completed without the necessary pre-work. A big part of the efficiency is having all of the logins, content, and materials needed ready PRIOR to starting the work. If you are unable to complete your pre-work in time, we are able to reschedule your Design VIP Day one time if needed, with a minimum of 48 hours notice. The deposit amount can be applied to a new date within 3 months after the initial payment is made.

  • There are several examples listed at the top of this page, and we can also discuss what you have in mind by email or on a free discovery call. Your 45-minute planning session will also include a review of your project or to do list and we will determine general expectations and what to focus on during your VIP Day. Other factors that increase the likelihood of completing your project or tasks are quick feedback and decision making, knowing what you want ahead of time, and having all project materials ready.

  • By working together through a day rate model, we are able to streamline your project and produce results quickly and efficiently. The compressed timeline means less project management and back and forth and more time focusing completely on the work. I block a full day to focus 100% on your project and with fast communication we can work through feedback and approvals much more quickly.

Your availability, responsiveness, feedback, and decisiveness during your VIP Day will greatly impact what is accomplished during the experience.

  • Once your Design VIP Day is scheduled and your deposit has been paid, you will receive an email confirmation with instructions on how to access all of the pre-work instructions. It will include things like providing all necessary account logins, content, photography, etc. to complete the task. All pre-work must be completed 48 hours prior to your VIP Day to ensure I’ve had time to review all of your materials, asked any follow up questions, and have everything lined up for your day.

  • No worries! While we will prioritize all of your requests and make sure the most important items get knocked out first, there is a chance we will not be able to finish everything on the list. In that case, you can always book another full or half Design VIP Day to wrap up any final tasks.
