The client receives unrestricted, exclusive use of all commissioned assets, with no limitations on duration, medium, or application. Assets created under this tier are permanently retired from Curator’s commercial use and will never be resold, repurposed, or incorporated into future works.

Your experience begins with a thoughtful welcome that helps you feel grounded from the start. We outline what to expect, what we will need from you, and how the process will unfold, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. This first step is designed to make the work feel calm, organized, and approachable. You will know where we are going, how we will communicate, and what role you will play as we begin shaping your brand, website, or broader client experience.
We take time to understand your business, your audience, your goals, and the vision behind your work. Through thoughtful questions, careful listening, and our Discovery Guides, we gather the details that make your brand distinct and meaningful. If your project does not include brand strategy or copywriting, our Discovery Guides help you clarify your voice, message, offers, audience, and priorities, so we can design from a place of insight, intention, and care.
Once we understand your goals, we develop a focused creative direction, including your positioning, messaging priorities, website structure, visual direction, and the larger experience you want your clients to have. For clients providing their own copy, our Craft Your Copy templates help you gather and organize your content before design begins. These resources provide a thoughtful structure, helping your message feel clear, complete, and easier to bring into the visual experience.
Your strategy begins to take visual and verbal form through a clear creative concept. We explore the direction that best reflects your goals, your audience, and the feeling you want people to have when they encounter your brand. This step gives you something beautiful and meaningful to respond to. Rather than sorting through scattered ideas, you are guided toward a focused creative path that feels polished, purposeful, and true to your vision.
With the direction approved, we bring your project to life through refined design, structured feedback, and a cohesive sense of flow. Depending on your scope, this may include your brand identity, website, business cards, onboarding documents, proposal templates, lead magnets, CRM automations, or other marketing collateral. Every piece is created to feel consistent, elevated, and useful in the day-to-day life of your business, supporting how your clients move through your process.
We walk you through the work with care, explaining the thinking behind key decisions and creating space for your perspective. Your feedback is welcomed and shaped through a clear process, so you feel involved without having to solve the any design challenges that you identify. This step strengthens the work, making it more personal and aligned. Together, we refine the details while keeping every decision rooted in strategy, clarity, and the audience you are trying to reach.
As your brand, website, collateral, and client relationship management systems come together, we prepare everything for a smooth release. This may include final design polish, website testing, file preparation, launch guidance, training, or support with the materials you will use after the project is complete. This step helps you feel ready to share your work with confidence. You will have the pieces, direction, and practical next steps you need to move forward with clarity and pride.
After launch, we help you carry your new brand, website, and supporting materials forward with confidence. This final step creates space for questions, refinements, handoff support, or guidance around how to use what we have created together. The afterglow is the moment where the work becomes part of your everyday business. You leave with a stronger presence, a clearer message, and a more polished experience to share with the people you are here to serve.

We would be happy to work with your existing brand assets, such as logos, typography, and graphics, as long as ownership or licensing rights can be confirmed. Depending on the complexity of your third-party contracts or if they include confidential information, an external law firm may be required to confirm whether your brand assets are cleared for Curator's use. Once cleared, you will need to provide editable Adobe Illustrator (.ai) files, or additional fees may apply to recreate or refine the assets. If ownership or licensing can’t be verified, Curator may recommend one of our brand identity packages to ensure your brand's creative assets meet our standards.
Project timelines vary based on each client’s needs, readiness, and the scope of work involved. We have completed brand and website projects in as few as two weeks, while more comprehensive engagements have taken as long as six months. Whether you need a streamlined website build or a full brand, strategy, copywriting, imagery, and development process, we tailor each engagement to support the best possible outcome. This ensures every project receives the right level of time, strategy, and creative attention to meet our standards and your goals. Projects move most efficiently when clients provide timely, clear, and actionable feedback throughout each phase.
After launch, Curator provides the guidance and resources you need to confidently maintain your new website. You’ll receive a Website Maintenance Guide along with a personalized 90-minute pre-recorded tutorial to help you understand the platform and make basic updates. Most clients are able to manage smaller edits, such as updating copy, images, colours, and links, with a little time and practice, as well as adding new projects to the portfolio. Larger structural changes are best handled professionally to protect the design, functionality, and strategy of your site. For added support, Curator also offers website maintenance packages for assistance after launch.
Curator’s preferred website platform is Showit because it offers exceptional design flexibility, creative freedom, ease of use, and seamless WordPress integration. It allows us to create custom, professional websites with rich user experiences while reducing the need for costly custom coding. Clients often appreciate that Showit is intuitive to maintain, making it easier to update their websites over time without advanced technical expertise. We also design and develop websites for Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, and Shopify, depending on each client’s needs and goals, however our flat-rate page fee structure only applies to Showit web design projects.
Every Curator website is designed to deliver a polished, strategic experience across both desktop and mobile devices, particularly with Showit websites. Showit offers some of the best mobile optimization available because it gives our designers the flexibility to customize the mobile design separately. Rather than simply shrinking or rearranging the desktop design, we create a fully custom mobile version that considers how users actually browse, navigate, and take action on smaller screens. This allows us to carefully refine layouts, navigation, visual hierarchy, and calls to action so your website feels seamless, elevated, and easy to use on every device.
A strong brand and website are long-term marketing assets that help your business build trust, communicate value, and stand out in a competitive market. When your visual identity and online presence reflect the quality of your work, potential clients can more easily understand why your business is the right choice. A polished, strategic website can also reduce friction in the buying process by creating clarity and confidence before someone ever reaches out. For many businesses, investing in a competitive brand and website pays off through stronger inquiries, better alignment with ideal clients, and a more professional presence that provides lasting value.
Curator offers payment plans to make our services more accessible and easier to plan for. Most projects require a non-refundable 25% deposit to reserve your place in our production calendar and officially begin the engagement. The remaining balance can typically be divided into three milestone payments, depending on the scope, timeline, and specific needs of the project. All payments must be completed before final assets are delivered, ensuring a clear and organized process from start to finish. In rare cases, custom payment schedules may be discussed before contract signing, but they must be approved in advance.
Curator is a Canadian design company based in Calgary, offering thoughtful, strategic brand identity and web design. Our process is highly collaborative, and we tailor the engagement to your goals, timeline, and level of support needed. One of our most meaningful differences is that we offer unlimited revisions, which is practically unheard of in the design industry and reflects our commitment to getting the work right. We combine refined creative direction with practical strategy, clear communication, and flexible project options, making Curator a strong fit for clients who want beautiful, intentional design without feeling rushed or boxed into a rigid process.

The onboarding experience was magical.
Lauren created a playful space that invited me fully into my creativity, and I quickly learned that the unknown pieces were very welcome. Her communication and organization were exceptional, and I always felt supported throughout the process. The design process was like a beautiful waltz with a practiced partner — even though I stumbled along the way, Lauren expertly guided the dance and helped to create a beautiful website. I cried when I saw my homepage, logo, brand colours, and fonts for the first time. It was an amazing experience to have my story reflected back to me through Lauren’s eyes and talent. The final result feels fluid, playful, and like an extension of my invitation to explore.
