finally

Let's face it: design is expensive. (And there's good reason for that—custom design projects take a lot of time and expertise to nail.)

While crafting intentional, custom, and strategic marketing visuals will always be worth the extra time and price tag, I also know that crafting a whole-ass, fully custom brand & website is not at the top of every business owner’s priority list, and is certainly not in everyone’s budget.

(And as someone whose business started in her bedroom during a global pandemic, I feel that sooo hard.)

No matter where you are in biz or life, I believe that you deserve a website that makes you feel like the leading player of your own Broadway show—a website you feel so excited to link everywhere that it makes selling your services feel easy as hell.

Choose your favorite ShowIt template from anywhere on the internet.

Could be one of mine or one from another template shop—up to you! (I'm also one of Tonic's trusted Design Partners, as well as an official ShowIt Design Partner, so no matter where you get a template from, I gotchu!)

Fill out my design questionnaire and gather your site content.

Armed with my comprehensive onboarding checklist, you’ll answer my brand strategy questionnaire and gather your website content before our time together.

Hop on the kickoff call.

We'll discuss everything—you, your business, your vision, your hopes, your dreams, and everything in between.

Keep your site updated yourself in the future with personalized tutorials.

Because ShowIt is the most user-friendly website platform on the internet, so making updates is a breeze ;)

Receive your homepage draft by 11am.

Time for our first check in! By 11am I'll provide a homepage draft based on your content and our conversation. You'll give me feedback, and I'll revise!

Correspond with me throughout the day as I design desktop & mobile.

And provide your feedback whenever! You'll have ample opportunity to be a collaborator throughout the day.

Get ready to launch!

By the end of the day, we'll likely have some minor details left to finesse. Whether it's setting you up to fill in your website copy, or coordinating a domain setup with the ShowIt team, I'll ensure our next steps are clear and complete within the week.

Receive your homepage draft by Tues.

Time for our first check in! By Tuesday EOD, I'll provide a homepage draft based on your content and our conversation. You'll give me feedback, and I'll revise!

Correspond with me throughout the week as I design desktop & mobile.

Each evening, I'll send you a design update with any new pages or revisions. You can take the night to marinate on the direction and provide feedback the next morning. 

Get ready to launch!

By the end of the week, we'll likely have some minor details left to finesse. Whether it's setting you up to fill in your website copy, or coordinating a domain setup with the ShowIt team, I'll ensure our next steps are clear and complete within the week.

✓ You have a clear vision of a design vibe you resonate with, or you have an already-defined brand identity
✓ Your site is a standard size (aka, you don't need 848 different service pages, a long-form sales page, and a huge resource library)
✓ You’re a quick decision maker and you’re down to let me work my web design magic

✓ You have a clear vision of a design vibe you resonate with for your brand, or you have an already-defined brand identity
✓ Your site is slightly larger (extra service pages, a sales page, and/or a resource library is welcome)
✓ You value having extra time to marinate on design decisions and your feedback overnight

*And while those ^^ are good rules of thumb, each website and business is different. We can always chat more about it on a call to see what timeline would be the best fit for you. Inquire here to get the conversation started.

hi, i'm sarah kleist—

As someone who has designed over 100 brands & websites for business owners just like you, let me be the first to say—y’know that cringey feeling in your stomach whenever someone asks for your URL? Yeah, you’re not alone in that.

And unfortunately, feeling the ick about your website usually creates even bigger issues: like having to post on social media every day to generate business (and completely draining your bandwidth in the process)… Or even worse, not generating any leads at all because you’re too embarrassed to market yourself.

I hate that for you, and it’s time to get outta' that cycle. Because if there’s one thing about me, I believe everyone should get to do the creative shit they love every day (and make great money while doing it).

MEET YOUR DESIGNER

—abbey & courtney, duo collective marketing agency

"Usually when you sign up for quick-turn projects you sacrifice quality, and I can tell you that is 100%                                 
               from the truth with Kleist Creative."

THE FARTHEST

THING

"Every time we work with Sarah we are in awe of what she can accomplish in a single day. Know that if you sign up for a website in a day with Sarah you are getting a freakin' steal of a deal!"

—mAURA ROBERTS, FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

"We had our first chat at 9:00 am to discuss ideas and the direction I wanted to go, and by 11:00 am I was                   with joy over the homepage she sent over. 

CRYING

And it just got better as the day went on. I am so grateful to Sarah and know this is going to be so impactful for my business, I can't wait to see how my business grows!"

—julie greer, wedding PHOTOGRAPHER

"I've been in business for 10+ years and I can honestly say this is the first time I really feel like my website is                representative of me.

TRULY

Working with Sarah has truly been such a dream. Her ability to really get to know you and then put that into your website for others to see, is crazy amazing!

—tara fust, interior designer

"The work that she was able to knock out in one day is                                and I cannot believe I waited so long to reach out and get this project going.

ASTONISHING

She’s creative, talented, and knows how to translate ideas and concepts into a design that’s not only engaging, but truly reflects our aesthetic and brand. Working with Sarah is a dream!"

—BRANDY CHIECO, BRAND DESIGNER

"Sarah is a creative genius. The care and passion Sarah put into my project was so

ABOVE & BEYOND.

I feel more confident than ever to launch my business knowing that I've got a kickass website that fully reflects my brand and what I'm all about.

Frequently

asked q's

While unlimited modifications may not be feasible in the time we have, many showit template customizations are—of course including changes like fonts, colors, and images, but also including movement, layout changes, new pages, new design elements, and more. The key is to choose a Showit template you're already obsessed with so that the personal touches make it that much better.

Absolutely! If you don't have a template yet and need a professional eye to guide you in the right direction, I'd be happy to be a part of your template decision-making process.

Copy is great to have beforehand, but it's not necessary. One of the perks of working with Kleist Creative is that my copywriting skills are almost as strong as my design skills—so even though I do not write copy for clients, I do know how to structure a site for connection & conversion (and I'll give you ideas of what to say in each spot).

You need set offerings, testimonials, brand photography, and either a clear vision for the vibe of the website OR an already-defined brand identity.

Happily. Although I am in New York City, I've worked on sprint-style timelines like these with clients as far as Australia. Inquire with this information and we can hop on a call to talk options.

I'm pretty damn good at project management, so if I put it on the list, I'm sure to get it done! However, in the rare case that I bite off more than I can chew, I always finish up the rest of the discussed tasks within a week at no extra charge.

Note: this only applies if I overpromise and underdeliver. It does not apply if you fail to provide necessary materials or feedback within a timely manner. In that case, you can simply book a VIP Day and we can finish then!

Frankly, I'm fast. I’ve designed over 100+ websites in ShowIt, 50+ of which have been sprint-style like this. I know the platform like the back of my hand. (I also deeply believe in Parkinson's Law.)

it's time to launch a website you're                         with.

Stop letting that ShowIt template you purchased collect dust in your GMail archives. It's time to finally get it out there—so you can attract more clients, make more money, and feel more fulfilled.
