Project-based website, brand, and systems design for your next chapter.
Your business is evolving.
You’ve outgrown the old site, the old brand, and the tools you pieced together along the way.
The Maker Studio is where we rebuild with clarity, creativity, and a process that meets you right where you are.
This is design, tech, and strategic thinking held in one place so you don’t have to keep juggling it all.
What we can build together:
-
A new website built around your current work.
A full refresh of an outdated site.
New or updated offer/sales/landing pages.
Restructuring or organizing your content for a more accurate and forward-looking presentation.
-
A refreshed visual direction.
Updated colors, type, and imagery.
A new logo or wordmark if you need one.
Custom icons, buttons, or small design elements.
Canva templates for posts, graphics, or client materials.
Email templates or branded touchpoints like proposal docs that make everything feel cohesive.
-
Clean, connected booking and email setup.
Updated forms and basic automations.
A smoother client experience from first click to onboarding.
Integration of new tech and tools to make your life easier.
Simplifying the tools you’re using (or retiring the ones you don’t need).
An experience that moves you forward.
I’ve shaped this process to work as well for you as it does for me. It’s a balance of preparation, focused collaboration, and tying up loose ends in a way that feels steady and efficient.
Here’s how we work:
-
Intro + Insights Call
We begin with an guided conversation.
You share where your work is heading, I listen closely, share any tips and ideas that come up, and together we name what this project needs to hold.
-
Preparation & Direction
You’ll receive a guided questionnaire and a bit of thoughtful pre-work.
Here we’ll gather the pieces and find some clarity that will make the build smoother.
I help you shape what’s needed so you never feel stuck.
-
Your Project Days
We work in focused, intentional project days where I am completely dedicated to your project.
Decisions get made in real time, collaborating through messages and videos so we can keep shaping as we go.
-
After the Project
After the build, you get a week of light support for polish, questions, and small adjustments.
Everything ends with a closing Loom video so you know exactly how to navigate and edit your site.
Every project is different.

Curious about pricing?
Projects inside the Maker Studio start at €1,500 and scale based on what we’re creating together.
A full presence build (brand style, website, and key systems) often lands around €6,000.
If you want clarity on what your project might look like, let’s talk.
The Maker Studio is a good fit if you’re:
An experienced self-employed individual whose work is evolving.
Someone who knows their craft and wants a partner to customize their experience, not fit you to a pre-made package.
Ready for your digital presence to match your direction.
Comfortable collaborating and making decisions together.
Looking for clarity, momentum, and a website that actually works.
I’m Alison, a designer, systems thinker, and the person you call when your ideas feel bigger than your current online presence.
I blend strategy, design, and tech in one process, so your brand and website don’t just look good, they actually work.
My clients come to me because their ideas are big, layered, or in motion. I help them shape what’s emerging, build what’s needed, and move forward with confidence.
I’d love to chat with you about the vision you have for your business, and how I can help elevate you to the next level.

Projects start at €1,500. Every project customized to your individual goals and needs, and we’ll determine that together on your free 45 minute Intro + Insights Call.
Have some questions?
-
I work primarily in Squarespace, Canva, Notion, Flodesk, Acuity, Zapier, and Google Workspace, but I’m flexible. If you’re using something else, we’ll look at whether it’s still the right fit or if it’s time to simplify.
-
Nope. This isn’t a co-working session. Before your project day, I’ll share a Notion dashboard so you can keep track of the progress.
I’ll check in with updates, Looms, or voice notes, but no live calls unless we agree it’s needed.
While you aren’t expected to be tied to your computer, please be ready to provide feedback on questions within an hour or so.
-
That’s ok! The Intro + Insights call is when I ask most of the guided questions to find out where you are.
If you’re not ready to book a project, you can start with a strategy session. I’ll help you untangle your options and figure out the best path forward. No pressure to book anything after.

Mostly women (or femme-identifying folks) running thoughtful, service-based businesses. Think coaches, creatives, healers, wellness practitioners, writers, doulas, therapists, and beyond…
If you care about your work and want things to feel more aligned and put-together, we’ll probably work well together.
-
You don’t need to show up with copy, but having some clarity around your messaging helps a lot.
I’ll help you structure your content, shape your message, and make sure your words actually connect. It’s part of the process, not an extra.
-
Yes. Everything we build will be yours and in your own accounts. I’ll show you how to make updates, and where it makes sense, I’ll create templates or tutorials so you feel confident going forward.
