Petals and Lace Events - Website Project
Petals and Lace Events is a professional wedding planning company in Central Virginia. They specialize in weddings, as well as planning and coordinating other event types as well – such as corporate, family events, baby showers, and more. The company was founded in 2015 by Karla Crisp, who has planned and coordinated hundreds of weddings in Virginia, and to this day she still loves the journey wedding planning creates. It’s not just about the wedding day, it’s about the relationships she creates between herself and her clients. Karla’s attention to the smallest details and dedicating the time to make any event a success are just a couple of reasons many venues in Virginia have her on their preferred vendor list.
Stoqd re-designed Petals and Lace's brand image, logo, and guidelines. We then took the client's vision and designed, implemented, and launched a brand new WordPress website. The project took roughly 3 months. We first started with a 7 part framework brand identity implementation. The client was looking for an elegant but modern refreshed feel to her brand.

Capitol Granite - Website Re-Design & SEO Project
Capitol Granite was founded in 2002 by Paul Menninger. They offer premier cabinet and countertop products and installation in Central Virginia. Through the years he simply felt unsatisfied with the quality of work and craftsmanship in the countertop industry, so he decided to take matters into his own hands, building his own shop which still, today, operates on a philosophy of customer satisfaction first. Paul was previously a woodworker who had spent time in the corporate world as a sales engineer and then sales manager. As a woodworker, he built furniture and cabinets and utilized those skills and techniques to flip houses. His catalyst for entering the stone industry developed while he was doing work on his own personal residence.
Stoqd helped redesign Capitol's WordPress website. The original site was cluttered, confusing, and was overloading its visitors with far too much information, heavy text, and hundreds of un-needed webpages. This is unfortunately very common for many business owners. We believe your website should be simple, beautiful, easy to navigate, and most importantly - it should clearly explain your brand's solutions to your customers. That being said, this project took roughly 7 weeks. Given the nature of the website which had a vast amount of information and pages on it, this can be a delicate project due to the consequences of search engine rankings. It was a very high priority to make sure that Capitol Granite's organic rankings on Google remained intact, which we were able to accomplish successfully.
We also handle Capitol Granite's overall marketing strategy, including social media, content creation, and digital advertising. Visit our portfolio to view the full project:

Lamha Cumasach – Branding, Website, & Social Media
Lamha Cumasach is owned by Veronica and Tehran Jones. The company is a pregnancy consulting and Doula service. They are committed to making women and their families feel empowered, supported, and protected. Pregnancy, labor, and delivery are supposed to be some of the most beautiful experiences along a couple’s journey.
Stoqd helped Lamha build its brand from the ground up. We first started with our 7 part framework Storybrand implementation. Once we locked down the vision, mission, and personality of the brand, we began mocking up potential logo designs. We designed their brand imagery, colors, and visuals. Once set, we created the company’s brand guidelines that would be followed from here forward. These guidelines are generally what is given to 3rd party companies or partners that the company may work with in the future. This ensures that the brand is always represented correctly and in a positive and professional manner. We then designed and developed a brand new WordPress website for the client, while building their social media presence in the background. We manage, curate, and design all of the client’s social media content to help promote the company’s services on an ongoing basis. These services are something we implement very often, regardless of what type of marketing project the client may have. We operate on Brand first, then Platform, then Content.

Stoqd helped Coldwell Banker with a clean makeover of their social media profiles and management of their ongoing content for social media. We started by first implementing our Brandstorm process to help come up with great ideas for content. Their bio was a bit too crowded and their linktree was not serving as a means to create more client opportunities. It was essentially a recreation of their already existing feed, so we recommended that we replace it with a mini-menu that allows their followers to engage with them online through their blog, website, and social media content. We saw their follower count increase by over 2,000 within the first 45 days. We also write and publish their weekly blog articles.
