Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Erin has successfully worked with us on 4 projects: 

1. website re-design; 
2. business cards; 
3. catalogue layout; 
4. a demo site for a project pitch

For the website: we scrapped almost everything from our existing site and provided Erin with copy and loose ideas. She took everything we gave her, immediately reached out with suggestons for better presentation, copy, and enhancements, and worked closely with us through the development, with a focuos on SEO driven copy. The experience was beyond ideal--we love the end result, which elevated our online presence. Working with Erin was--and always is--a delight. 

For the business card--this was straightforward, but she approached it with efficiency and professionalism. 

For the catalogue--this is the third year we've been hired to produce the Wristwatch Annual. Erin works very closely with our production manager and an editor in Europe to lay out and keep organized a 300 page catalogue with hundreds of images and associated copy plus 5+ unique articles. I'm convinced the talent Erin brings to this project has driven us being rehired each year. 

Demo site: Our client wanted a visual presentation of our ideas for moving a print series to digital only. Erin worked very closely with our editors and me to bring this vision to life. Our clients admitted they were blown away. The credibility she give us is invaluable, plus she's just 100% great to work with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

More traffic to our site (website); repeat business (catalogue); client confidence and securing future work (demo)

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a freelance journalist, and I do work for a number of different media outlets.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Evergreen Design Studio?

I noticed that many journalists had personal websites that helped them look more professional, so they could be hired to write freelance articles. I’ve pitched articles to editors, and when I don’t send a website, it may look like I’m not as professional. 

So, I decided that I needed a website to give editors reassurance without having to spell it out in an email. I also wanted to have control of the website and know how it worked.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I came up with all of the content ahead of time, and Evergreen Design Studio provided expertise on how to build the website, guiding me through the process. Erin (Founder & Lead Creative) walked me through every step. 

We did a video call where we shared our screens and she did a lot of the nitty-gritty tasks to set up the WordPress website. She placed everything where they looked good and I just entered the information after she had set things up.

What is the team composition?

I only work with Erin.

How did you come to work with Evergreen Design Studio?

I’ve known Erin for a long time. She’s a trusted friend. 

How much have you invested with them?

She gave me a good discount, so I paid about $60 per hour. She did a lot of work and explained things to me ahead of time, and she didn’t charge me for that. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in July 2020, and the process only took a couple of days. We’re going to continue working together to build out different ideas that I have for the website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

It was a smooth process because of Erin’s guidance. When I pitch a story, I’m able to link the website. It looks great and I’ve received good feedback from a lot of people I know. 

How did Evergreen Design Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

The communication is fantastic. Erin is a very easy person to work with because she’s clear in her instructions. We communicate on the phone and via Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Evergreen Design Studio has a lot of strengths, and they are familiar with WordPress. Erin gives clear instructions about how to use the website, which is great because it wasn’t straightforward to me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, it was a flawless experience. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Just go for it.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

I could not have asked for a better experience with Evergreen Design Studio. Erin is professional, knowledgeable, skilled in her craft, detail-oriented, and wonderful to work with. I was reinstating my personal chef business after taking a 2 year hiatus to raise my newly born daughter. I needed to get back into business quickly, which started with my website. I hired Erin and she assisted me from start to finish by helping me create my vision through my online presence. She created a website that spoke to my target audience and has exponentially helped me gain clients. I now have a thriving business after just 5 short months of having my website go live. I feel so lucky to have found Evergreen Design Studio, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone in need of boosting their business up to the next level. Anytime anyone visits my website, they ALWAYS come back to me and tell me what a great website I have. Now that speaks volume. Do yourself a favor and get started with Erin!

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

It was very effective. We spoke through email, phone calls and text.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Professionalism, attention to detail, customer service, overall skill and the ability to build a website to speak to my target audience and to see the value added to my business very quickly.
