Build a brand that tells people you’re the right choice.
You need a polished, professional presence to appeal to investors.
You've outgrown your previous look, and need to elevate your brand and website to reflect who you are now.
Your marketing materials are fragmented or messy, and you need a cohesive visual system.
You avoid sharing your website link, because it feels misaligned with your brand.
You're wasting time and sanity trying to DIY everything.

"She just gets it! I can not rave enough about Monarque. I couldn't have chosen a better creative to build my first website!"
"She took all of my scattered thoughts and the “I want it to feel like this but I don’t know how to explain it” moments and turned it into something that actually feels like me.
Beyond the work itself, she’s just a really good human. Easy to talk to, patient, honest, and clearly cares about what she’s creating for you. I never felt rushed or like I had to have it all figured out. I’m genuinely so proud of my site and the hours that went into creating it with Nina! She's a visionary and truly amazing!"
Go from a thousand scattered thoughts to one strategic plan.
The Clarity Plan is the first step in our process. Take your strategies and implement them on your own, or apply your investment toward one of our brand and web packages. Either way, you'll have the clarity to grow your business in a more sustainable way.

"I can confidently say that working with Nina and Studio Monarque on our rebrand and website was one of the best investments I’ve made in my business."
"Nina elevated our brand and transformed our website into something that truly reflects the quality and thoughtfulness of our work. Our offerings are now communicated so much more clearly, and the shopping experience feels intuitive, seamless, and aligned with our brand.
Working with Studio Monarque felt truly collaborative from start to finish, and I’m so grateful for the care, strategy, and talent Nina brought to the process. 100/10 recommend!"
Let's get into the details.
Professional brand and web design elevates your business and allows you to attract higher-quality leads, raise your prices, and spend less time pitching (because your new brand and website already do most of the work for you).
Our clients often report a return on their investment within weeks of launching their new website, and many say they only wish they'd started sooner!
Brand design can be completed in as fast as two weeks, and websites can be ready in six weeks.
However, this very much depends on how quickly we receive feedback. Completing work at this pace typically requires clients provide feedback within 24-48 hours of receiving drafts.
While a fast process is nice, it’s not always the best solution for every client. If you prefer to really think things through and take it slow, that’s a great method, too.
Our favorite CMS platforms are Webflow, Framer, and Shopify.
If you already have a preferred platform though, we're happy to accommodate (within reason)!
Absolutely! You'll have several opportunities to course-correct if you'd like to change the design direction.
This is truly a collaborative process, and we work hard to make sure you're totally aligned with the designs we create for you.
Here's what a client had to say about working with us:
"I’ve worked with other developers and designers in the past, but Nina was the first person I genuinely felt comfortable giving feedback to. She approached every note with thoughtfulness and creativity, and somehow each round only made the brand and website stronger."
A few, but they won't come from us.
You'll be responsible for your website's domain and hosting fees, which can range anywhere from $10-$50 per month, depending on your needs.
We may also collectively decide to implement third-party tools to streamline your process (like online appointment booking or newsletter platforms), which sometimes come with their own fees.
We’ll always discuss options with you first to ensure you’re never presented a surprise fee.
All of our brand and web design packages require a 50% deposit to start, but the remaining 50% can be split into two, three, or four-month installments.
The Clarity Plan must be paid in full.
BRANDING: We'll organize all of your branding files in an easy-to-navigate folder stored on Google Drive, so that anyone on your team can access or download them whenever they need it.
WEBSITE: As soon as we've launched your website, we'll pass over the "keys" and give you full ownership of it!
We'll also schedule a personalized training session with you (along with a recording sent to you for easy reference later on) to help you manage your site in the future independently.
Love working with us and want to outsource all of your tech needs? Just let us know and we'll chat with you about our various retainer plans.
Our packages serve as guides to give you an idea of what to expect.
After your Clarity Plan, we'll send you a proposal detailing exactly what we recommend with the price adjusted accordingly.
DIY templates are popular for a good reason: they're inexpensive and can get you online fast. If you just opened the doors to your business yesterday, it's a great way to get you started without breaking the budget.
Most of our clients start out with DIY, but quickly find it lacking. A few scenarios we've seen:
- They spend endless hours tweaking fonts, changing colors, and chasing trends in an effort to find something that feels right.
- They're unsatisfied with their website, so they don't share it with anyone.
- Their templated website looks like everyone else in their industry, so they feel invisible online.
All of them realized their "free" DIY template was actually costing them in lost time, energy, and opportunity. We step in to give clarity to your brand and bring your vision to life.
As one of our favorite clients said:
"She took all of my scattered thoughts and the “I want it to feel like this but I don’t know how to explain it” moments and turned it into something that actually feels like me."
Of course! Happy to help.

Our Philosophy
The whole reason Studio Monarque came to be was because I kept stumbling upon hidden gems: businesses who were wonderful, but didn't have the branding or website to show it.
My goal is to take all the wonderful things you already do, and bring them to light so that the people you want to serve are lining up to work with you.
Attract the Right People
Most businesses fall into the trap of trying to appeal to everyone.
We flip that by identifying your Ideal Client: the type of person you'd love to work with over and over again.
When you keep that "one person" in mind for every decision (imagery, tone, messaging, and so on), they'll naturally resonate and be drawn to you.
Lead with Authenticity
We don't do sleazy sales pitches around here.
Instead, we discover all the ways you're genuinely helping people, and then create a marketing plan from there to illustrate exactly why you're the best fit.
This builds trust with potential clients before you even meet them. By the time they reach out, they're already excited to take the next step with you.
Work Smarter
We are firmly "work to live" people.
Our goal is to help you structure your business in a way that gives you more free time and more profit, all while still serving your clients in the best way.
We do this with systems that take care of the "background noise" of running a business: like answering repetitive questions, the pressure to constantly post on social media... and on and on.
