Maybe you already have one and want to do a better job at marketing it. Whatever your reason for being here is, you've come to the right place. We've compiled our favorite resources, the ones we use daily and trust. We hope you come to love them as much as we do!
Website design and development? Yep, that’s our jam. We live and breathe it—helping businesses spark something amazing online. But we know not everyone is ready to dive headfirst into a brand-new website. And that’s okay. Big moves take thought, timing, and a solid game plan.
That’s why we offer additional services to help you build momentum at your own pace. Whether you need to fine-tune your strategy, refresh what you’ve already got, or just get some expert guidance—we’re here to help. No pressure, no overwhelm—just smart, strategic support to keep your business moving forward.
Wherever you are in the process, let’s make it happen together.
Your logo is the face of your brand—it should be memorable, versatile, and uniquely you. Our Logo Design & Visual Branding package gives you the foundation to build a cohesive, professional look without the overwhelm.
Here’s what’s included:
By the end of this process, you’ll have a polished, professional look that sets the tone for your brand—ready to use across your website, social media, and beyond.
Let’s bring your brand to life!
Wondering how you can transform your website to spark growth and see real results? Schedule some time on our calendar and we'll sit down and review your website with you and what you can do to update it.
How it Works:
These consultations will analyze the areas of your website including design, technology and marketing. You will leave with a comprehensive to-do list. They are great if you don't have the budget for a Crearé website but you want to ignite real success.
Maintain your branding across all communications, including your email addresses. Crearé will configure your email for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. This includes configuring DNS records and adding email addresses. We will need access to your DNS and will work with you to input your billing information directly into Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.
We can design & build a fully custom website for you. Whether you need a one-page website or a 20+ page website that sells products and manages your store's inventory we can build it. Let us manage your web solutions so you can manage your business.
Website hosting is something you shouldn't have to think about, and we keep it that way! With affordable monthly plans we manage all aspects of your website, sending you reminders to renew your domain and ensuring you're open 24/7 online.
The below resources are meant to help you design and build your own website using the tools that we use everyday and trust. We've also included tools for design, copywriting, business management, email marketing and social media—all tools we use regularly. We hope you find these resources helpful as you build your business.
Why do we love WordPress so much? More than 50% of websites online are built on the WordPress platform, and there's a good reason for that. Wordpress is open-source software, which means it's really easy for the community to create additional features and offer more value. Let's just say, there hasn't been a project that wasn't able to built with it!
The only page builder we've ever loved! It's a designer and developer's dream combined into one! Easy to customize, not bloated code, it enables us to build unique websites for our clients that not only look beautiful but are easy for them to update, a win-win for us all!
Everybody should have a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager). And everyone with a Wordpress website should consider FluentCRM, because with one WordPress login, directly from your dashboard, you can manage your leads and customers, create and send email campaigns, build automated email sequencing and more! It's made email marketing and client management so much easier for us, and we know it will for you too!
Want to sell something online? WooCommerce has your back. Sell anything from t-shirts to software, and if you're ambitious, set up an online jewelry store! Along with Breakdance, WooCommerce comes to life with your brand styles. And just like Wordpress, there's an ecosystem of endless possibilities to help you sell your thing. As your business grows, WooCommerce grows with you, keeping inventory management and online sales simple.
Want to collect money digitally online? Stripe is our payment processor of choice. Why? Because of its simple on-boarding, transparent, industry-standard pricing and developer friendliness. Want to move even past selling online? Pair the Stripe card reader with the WooCommerce app to sell goods on the go. If you can think up a business idea, Stripe can probably support it. Don't take our word for it, check out some of their case studies!
If you're ready to buy a domain name, we've got a recommendation: Cloudflare. Over overpriced registrars? Cloudflare's at-cost registration and renewals can't be beat. Plus, we use Cloudflare to manage DNS and add layers of security to all of the websites we manage. While the dashboard is a little technical (no frills), it's our go-to for reliable domain management and enhanced protection against malicious activity.
Bookeeping can be a chore, but with Zoho Books, it's become much more tolerable. From time tracking to invoicing, downloading bank statements and tracking expenses, it has it all. Neither of us are accountants, but we just hated using Quickbooks (especially the web app). We found Zoho over 10 years ago and haven't looked back!
Google Workspace helps keep our business running smoothly. From custom emails to ample storage and great security, it's a must-have. The best part is the easy way that we can store and share documents and collaborate on them in real-time. See how much time Google Workspace can save your team!
Let's be honest, posting on social media consistently can be a big PITA. But not if you use MeetEdgar! They've made it SO MUCH EASIER to manage our social media profiles. And, we love not having to sign into the apps individually and manually schedule things. We can create multiple versions, and Edgar does it all!
AI is here to stay, so we can't fight it, we must embrace it. Brianna's favorite is Claude, with Perplexity a close second. Nic's a fan of ChatGPT, but Brianna's been showing him how great the other's are :) The more details you give them, the better they are, so be sure you know your ideal client and teach them all about him/her so they get it!
Although I am and always will be an Adobe girl, Canva has made it easy to create visually appealing graphics to market your business with, and so I must recommend it if you want to market your business. However, you must pay for a professional account and set up your brand colors and fonts. Then, in every template you use, use them!! Not only do you need to post consistently for your marketing to work, you need to look consistent across all platforms.
The BEST place on the internet to go for free stock photography is hands-down Unsplash. The images are unique, the content ever changing. You're sure to find something you need. They've just added vector art, and they do have a subscription to get even more unique images.
If you need vector art for custom graphics or icons we like Vecteezy. It's a good place to get inspiration. You'll be able to find graphics that fit your style and your brand story to use on your website, social media posts or presentations.
We have worked on a number of different projects with these agencies and highly recommend them for your copywriting and marketing needs. We know if you chose to work with them you won't be disappointed!
We have been working with Monique and Steve at ondemandCMO for the past 10 years. We highly recommend their marketing services if you are really looking to grow your business and expand your market. Having a dedicated team that thinks outside the box and provides you the guidance you need to see real results is what you'll get with ondemandCMO.
Brianna and Michaele have been working together for longer than they both can remember, although we've never actually met in person! Michaele is Brianna's go-to for all things copywriting. She can find your voice better than you (or AI) can, and every client that has worked with her has loved her as much as we do!
We were introduced to Michelle in 2024 working closely alongside her for one of our website designs and builds. By the time the project ended I was sad to see it go, enjoying the teamwork, weekly meetings and more we had. If you're looking to raise the bar for your industry, contact Michelle.
As a bonus receive The Spark Start — your blueprint for building a website that burns bright. Let's light up your digital success together.
