Tick those tasks off your to-do list
A focused session dedicated to your design needs
The VIP Design Day is a half or full day with a web and graphic design expert (that’s me!) dedicated to nailing your business’s website design, branding, or templates to truly reflect the calibre of your work.
A VIP Design Day gives a real boost of energy to your business:
-
No more hesitating to reach out to dream clients due to a lack of confidence in your brand identity
-
No more losing clients due to an outdated or broken website
-
No more missed opportunities due to being overstretched and pulled in too many directions, or taking on too many roles as a solopreneur or lean team
Instead of feeling stressed and overworked, I want to help you feel confident and excited to share what you do, create quality leads, and ultimately grow your business by reclaiming that essential CEO time for what you do best - those design tasks may not be your forté, but they are mine.
When you book a VIP Design Day, you get me exclusively for the whole 4 or 8 hours (depending on whether you choose a half or full day). My sole focus will be your business and your design needs.
You walk away with everything at the end, with no hidden usage rights fees. I want you to have everything that we create together, so that you can hit a home run right off the top.
Created for long-term autonomy, you can keep making the changes you need to, with no additional marketing spend. Your pockets will be full and your business beautifully on-brand, consistent and cohesive, giving you the confidence to grow your business exponentially.

If you’re a change-maker with a website that isn’t working for your business anymore, or you’ve tried DIYing social media templates and aren’t getting the results you want, the VIP Design Day is for you.
For those of you who prefer to outsource, while you stay in your own zone of genius - knowing that everything's taken care of, feeling relaxed and reassured that I’ve got your back.
The VIP Design Day also works best for leaner businesses - whether you are a solopreneur or have an intimate team - so that decisions can be made swiftly on the day of.

A design expert who cares
Ease, efficiency, and a big heart
Being able to take a dreadful design task from your marketing to-do list that feels complicated and overwhelming, and streamlining it into a clear and focused design is where my magic lies.
Organization, productivity and efficiency are my jam, alongside honouring the time that it takes to do it right.
The number one thing I hear from my clients is how easy it is to work together - there’s a feeling of being seen and understood, as well as being able to expand your capacity into the areas you enjoy and thrive in.
Of course, I love making things look beautiful, but it’s also about making the process feel beautiful for us both, by making it enjoyable, collaborative and simple.
From design-stressed to your design best
The magic we can create during a VIP Design Day
Rest assured, I’ve got you - when you book a VIP Design Day, you get me exclusively for those hours, with focused attention that's dedicated specifically to you and your needs.
Efficiency is the name of the game, and together we can finally tick off those design tasks that have been falling to the bottom of your to-do list for months. There’ll be no more frustrating hours in front of your computer screen, cobbling together generic-looking graphics.
Instead, you’ll have marketing materials that you feel proud of and can’t wait to share, resulting in new leads, quality clients, and a growing business.
Depending on whether the scope of work exceeds a full day's work, an additional day may be needed, and we can reevaluate this during the next steps.
Here are some examples of what we can achieve during a typical VIP Design Day.
During a half day (4hrs), one of the following:
-
Social media content and branded templates in Canva
-
Marketing collateral like brochures, flyers, presentation decks, and workbooks
-
Editable and branded print materials like business cards, letterheads or postcards
During a full day (8hrs), one of the following:
-
5-page website refresh
-
Long-form sales page for a launch of a new campaign, course, program, or product/collection
-
Email sequences built out
-
Brand development eg. defining colour palette, moodboards & images, or additional graphics
And, if you’re a fan of the nitty-gritty details like I am, I work with the following technology:
-
Squarespace
-
Wix
-
Shopify
-
Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator and InDesign)
-

Some kind words from my incredible VIP Design Day clients
"Revamping my website has been great for my business! It offers a more professional look in comparison to what I had previously DIY'ed and is also easier to navigate. I've really enjoyed working with Christine and I'm very happy with how my business and brand are represented online!"

"My website captures what I'm actually doing rather than listing arbitrary services. I was pessimistic about what we could actually get done in a day and expectations were surpassed about what we were able to accomplish together!"

With you every step of the way
Here’s how the VIP Design Day works
Whether you choose a half or full day, this is what you can expect from the VIP Design Day package.
Contracts & deposit
After our free 20-minute call and deciding to go ahead, a contract will be sent to you via HelloSign to review and sign, with a 50% fee deposit to secure your VIP Design Day date, the other 50% will be due on the day of - or you can pay in full at this point, if you’d prefer! My calendar will be completely blocked off on the day you select, and that time will be used exclusively for you and your project.
1
Brand assets & intake questionnaire
Great preparation is where the magic happens. Gather any brand assets, colour palettes, logos, photography, guidelines, and anything else that might be useful for the project into an easy-to-share folder.
To ensure I’m fully prepared for a super efficient VIP Design Day, I’ll send you a questionnaire for a more in-depth look at your business and design project, laying the foundations for an amazing and accurate project.
This needs to be filled out at least 1 week before your dedicated VIP Design Day, and sent over with your assets, so that I’m ready to rock ‘n’ roll on the day.
2
Review & clarify
I’ll review everything you’ve sent me, and get back to you via email. This is your chance and mine to ask any clarifying questions, and we can both share any references or templates.
Some projects require a little extra clarity, and if that’s the case, we’ll book in an extra call to discuss those finer details.
3
Download & prepare
Before the day of, I’ll need you to download the free Voxer app so that we can communicate swiftly and seamlessly throughout the day.
I’ll always send a reminder the day before, so that you have time to get in the zone. The VIP Design Day requires your input and decision making, so clear any distractions and make sure you can give your dedicated focus for the whole 4 or 8 hours.
4
On the day communications
On your VIP Design Day, we’ll start with a 30-minute Zoom session to review priorities, the direction we’re headed, and what you can expect. This helps us get on the same page from the very beginning, and to trust the creative process together. Then I’ll get going on your project!
Using Voxer, we’ll have quick, efficient and clear communication all day, as well as a call halfway through (1 hour for full days, 30 min for half days) so that we can edit and fine-tune in realtime, and keep your design project moving forward.
5
wrap it up with a neat bow
At the end of the day, we’ll have another 30-minute Zoom session, complete with a comprehensive tutorial, so you can feel comfortable and confident moving forward with the strategy, tools, and resources to continue growing. This is the best time to ask any burning in-depth questions you may have too.
I’ll also send you a summary email containing everything you need - all the files created, additional resources, and a video replay of the tutorial - in one easy-to-access place. You’ll walk away with the autonomy to make changes, and the ability to refer back to these resources when needed for on-going support.
6
Check-ins & queries
Around a month after our VIP Design Day, I’ll get in touch to see how things are going - I’m invested in your continued growth and success, and love hearing how new design materials are working for my clients.

What CL Designs stands for
Making it easy, honest and uplifting
Efficiency
During the last decade with over 250 wonderful clients and 5000+ workshop participants, plus 2 years of 22 VIP Design Days, I’m proud of the excellent processes I’ve developed to make our collaborative projects run smoothly in a world that encourages over-consumption and being over-capacity.
Transparency
I’m always open with what's included and for what price, so that you can make the best informed decision for you and your business, and I endeavour to have clear, open dialogue, even throughout difficult conversations.
Celebration
I love finding ways to celebrate with clients after our projects, as it’s too-often forgotten by fellow high-achieving business owners. Encouraging a moment of reflection and acknowledging our accomplishments is so uplifting.
