Here at With Grace and Gold, we see so much value in hiring a professional designer to serve your small business! Of course, we have seen, first-hand, how professional design can change the course of small businesses. (Many of our clients double — and even triple — their revenue following their experience with us.) Today, we’re excited to share 5 unexpected reasons to hire a professional designer.

5 Reasons to Hire a Professional Designer

1. You will save time and money long-term. Like shopping for the perfect beauty product, you may spend a ton of money before finding the product that is right for you. When hiring With Grace and Gold, we work one-on-one (well, two-on-one) to build a meaningful connection with you.  We begin designing only after we have communicated the foundation of your brand and web design. That way, you can be sure that your brand and web design are exactly what you had wanted — a design aligned with your vision, goals, and Ideal Client in mind.
2. Your brand will reflect your mission and vision.  At With Grace and Gold, we believe that your brand should be a clear and honest reflection of you, your mission, and your vision.  You can ensure that your brand will be built around your vision — and, most importantly, be unique in every way. When your brand and online home are a reflection of you, they stand the test of time — which saves money and time in the long-term! (You won’t be investing in design for years!)
3. Every detail will be considered.  Your brand will extend far beyond your brand and color palette and be present throughout your photography and copy.  By hiring a professional designer, you can ensure that every detail will be a reflection of your brand.
4. You can depend upon years of diverse experience.  Every professional designer and design team has a unique background.  At With Grace and Gold, Andra has a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and over 6 years of professional design experience, and I have a Bachelor of Science in Business and over 6 years of professional experience in business branding and marketing. Our unique experience and education make us a dynamic duo — both internally and externally.  (We can also be kind of fun!)
5. You can feel excited about your brand and business.  When you design something on your own, you may feel as though you’re taking a leap of faith.  Is my brand the best it could be?  Is this color palette a true reflection of my business?  Am I getting my mission and vision across in a way that is true to my brand?  When hiring With Grace and Gold, we ensure that every part of your brand and business is accounted for.  We work with you to ensure you feel confident and excited about your brand. That way, when Launch Day arrives, you can confidently begin a new season in your business journey!

Of course, we know that every professional designer is different.  At With Grace and Gold, we wanted to emphasize the partnership aspect of our business; we want you to feel involved in the design process, and we want your heart and vision to be at the center of all the designing we do.  That way, you’ll come away with a brand that is a true and authentic representation of your vision.
