Done-for-you brands for small businesses

Look as good as you
actually are

You're great at what you do. Your brand should say so, loudly. We build you a brand people remember, then the site, words, and email to carry it, and we keep the whole thing running. You just show up as the expert you already are.

Founder-backed. One studio, one point of contact, zero agency runaround.

A site we built — Fudge Fairy
Sound familiar?

You've been meaning to fix your brand for… how long now?

It's not laziness. You're busy running the actual business. But a dated brand, or a website that doesn't match how good you are, quietly costs you customers you never even see:

Someone finds you on their phone. Ready to buy.

Your site loads. The look feels… off.

They tap back, and the sale goes to whoever looks the part.

It's not that you're not good enough. Your brand and your site just never gave them a reason to believe it.

Services

Everything we do, under one roof.

Pick one, or hand us the whole brand. Every service stands on its own, or bundles into one done-for-you build.

Branding & identity Websites Online stores Packaging Product imagery Email marketing Ongoing care

Any door's open. Not sure which you need? That's what the discovery call is for.

The Zest Way

Take a breath. You can hand the whole thing to us.

This is the part you've been dreading, and it's the part we do every day. Five steps, and we carry all of them. The best part comes before you've spent a dime.

  1. STEP 01

    Tell us about you

    A short form, five minutes, promise. Your business, your vibe, and whatever's been driving you nuts about the current setup.

  2. STEP 02

    We talk it through

    A relaxed discovery chat over video. You offload, we listen, and we get the full picture of where you want this to go.

  3. STEP 03 · THE GOOD PART

    You get your proposal

    After our chat, I come back with a proposal built around exactly what you need: your scoped package, timeline, and a simple invoice to lock it in. Love it? Pay the 50% deposit and we're off. Not feeling it? Walk away, no hard feelings.

    No deposit · No risk
  4. STEP 04

    We build it

    We bring the whole thing to life: brand, site, email, all of it, in your name and sounding like you. Two rounds of tweaks to get it just right.

  5. STEP 05

    Launch, then we keep it running

    We launch it, hand you the keys, and on our full brand + site packages, your first month of Care is on us. With Care you can ask us anything: small edits, quick questions, help when you're stuck. We just handle it, so you're never left figuring it out alone. Anything bigger we'll quote first, no surprises. Near the end of that month we'll ask if you want to keep it. Say yes and it's month-to-month, stop whenever. Say nothing and it just ends.

Proof, not promises

We gave our own brand a glow-up.

Fudge Fairy Co. is ours. We founded it in 2024, then rebuilt its site from the ground up. Here's where it started, and where we took it. Same fudge, but now it looks like the real deal. That's the exact job we'll do for you.

Pricing

Pick your starting point.

It starts with the brand, because no one remembers a boring one. Four ways to work together, from identity-only to the whole brand world. Every price is a "from," and we quote your exact mix after a quick discovery call, all in, no surprises.

New to all this? Every build is custom-designed to look like you, and you can still run it yourself. We handle the tech, domain and email included. Pay half to book, half at launch.

Good to know

A few things you're probably wondering. Tap to open.

What does monthly Care cover?+
Your first month is on us, and Care is opt-in. About three weeks after launch we'll email and ask if you want to keep it going. Billing only starts if you say yes. Care covers platform & security updates installed as they roll out, small edits & content swaps, backups, and priority support. You email, we handle it. It's not a fee for nothing. It's your site staying healthy so you never have to think about it.
Do I own my site and everything?+
Yes, completely. Once you're launched and paid up, it's all yours: the site, the domain, your accounts, and every brand file, in your name, in your accounts. If we ever go our separate ways, you keep everything and nothing gets switched off.
What if I don't love the first design?+
We'll get it right together. Before we build the whole thing, we agree on the direction together, so there are no surprises. And every project includes revision rounds to fine-tune it until it feels unmistakably like you.
What if I need more than a tier includes?+
No problem. Need an extra page? That's +$150. Need a lot more? We step you up a tier. There's also a full list of add-ons under the pricing tiers, from packaging to menus to vendor files. Either way it's always agreed up front, never a surprise.
Can you just do my logo?+
We can, that's $750. But here's the honest answer: a logo on its own is a mark with no rules. For $1,200, Zest gives you the logo plus your colors, your type, your brand guide and your voice, so everything you make after this looks like it belongs together. Most people who start with the logo end up wanting the rest, and it costs less to do it in one go.
How long does it take?+
Brand only is about 1 to 2 weeks, brand plus a site is 3 to 4, and brand plus a store is 4 to 6. One thing worth knowing up front: the clock starts when your deposit and your content are both in, not at our first chat. We always aim to beat the estimate, and the fastest projects are the ones where the content lands early.
What do you need from me?+
Not much, and we'll send you a simple form that asks for all of it in one go: your copy, your photos, and any logins we need. We ask for it within 2 weeks of booking. If it runs longer than that the project pauses and the timeline shifts to when everything lands, purely so your spot doesn't sit half-built while other work waits. No copy yet? That's fine, writing is included from Fresh Squeeze up.
How does payment work?+
Simple: 50% deposit to book, 50% at launch. We never drop the price, we adjust the scope. Care comes with our full brand + site packages: your first month's on us, then we ask if you want to continue. Billing only starts if you say yes, and it's month-to-month from there, no contract. À la carte builds (brand-only, site-only) don't include Care, they're one-time and yours to run.
Jacqueline, founder of Zest Studio
Founder-backed, for real

Hi, I'm Jacqueline.

I've been building brands for 20+ years, and my biggest one has always been my own. At 14, I started posting drum covers to YouTube. It grew into millions of views, a few sponsorships, and a personal brand I've been running ever since. It's my longest-running and most personal brand work, and it's where I taught myself photography, website coding, video, editing, and sound. (Yes, I was that kid who hand-coded their MySpace when they didn't need to, but because they wanted to.)

From there, it became the work. I earned a Communications and Marketing degree from American University, then moved to Nashville, TN, where I helped build and ran the customer service sector of a local startup. Soon after, I founded my own video production company, Entertwine Media, producing and editing for prominent YouTubers, shooting music videos for musicians, and taking thousands of product and portrait photos along the way. In 2024, I founded Fudge Fairy Co. and built the brand from the ground up. It's the exact process I'll run for you.

Here's why Zest exists: I've watched too many brilliant small-business owners get overlooked because their brand doesn't match how good they actually are. That's the part I'm obsessed with. A great website matters, but it only works when there's a solid brand underneath it, so we start there and build the site to carry it. You're great at what you do, you just don't have the time or the toolkit to look it. Closing that gap is the whole job. One studio, one person who actually cares, lifting the heavy stuff off your plate.

— Jacqueline
Founder, Zest Studio
