Lainey Mae Darling is a small web design boutique with a love for the beauty of organic imperfection found only in things handmade.

As a freelancer, creative & dreamer myself, I understand the importance of bringing your dream clients through your door. Your website should be a home that supports your growth, attracts your people, and reflects the magic you put into the world. That's why I create websites for artists and creatives that not only look beautiful, but work for your business. 

Whether you're a tattooer, hairstylist, painter, or photographer, I want to help you to show up online with clarity, confidence, and a brand that truly speaks to you and for you.

Let's make your website match your magic.

So you're ready to start. Now what? Start by filling out the short application form below so I can get to know you and what you do. Then I'll reach out to you to chat through your business and what you’re dreaming of. There’s no pressure, just space to explore what’s possible. If it’s a fit for both of us, we'll pick a start date, I’ll send over your proposal, and once signed, you’re officially my client. (YAY!)

01 discover.

You’ll get your own organized client dashboard where you can drop everything I need—your brand photos, content, links, even a Pinterest inspo board if you have one. It's a super streamlined process! You’ll also fill out a questionnaire so I can get a deeper understanding of your brand and needs so I can start designing.

02 define.

TIME FOR THE FUN PART! Now that I've gotten to know you and your story, I can bring your visions to life. First, I’ll design your brand identity and homepage which we will go over together. Then with the vision in place, this is where everything comes to life. I’ll build out the rest of your website and work on all of the tech: SEO, mobile optimization, domain connection, and integrate email lists or anything that needs to be hooked up. This is where your site truly comes to life!

03 design.

You receive a fully functional, user friendly custom site and a simple handover including personalized training videos so you’re empowered to manage it. You’ll be fully equipped to launch with clarity and confidence.

04 deliver.

How it works.

What platform do you use for websites?

I use Showit which is a super intuitive drag and drop platform. It's perfect for creatives. You'll get personalized training videos so you can make updates and feel confident about editing your site yourself! Plus, I'm here for any questions. 

What can I expect after I inquire?

First of all, I am so grateful that you want to partner with me to create a digital home for your business! After you fill out the inquiry form below, I will reach out to you over the next couple days to chat about your business and goals. If we're a good fit, then we'll begin the onboarding process which require a deposit and contract to secure your spot in my project calendar, then I'll send your our Client Portal we're we collaborate together! That's where the magic happens :)

What if I already have branding done?

If you already have a cohesive brand identity, that's amazing! I'll use it to guide the web design process. Since site branding is included in my packages, having branding done already means a slightly reduced rate. I'll just need you to send me the assets & guide.

How do I know if I'm ready for this?

If you've outgrown your current brand & site - then you're ready! And that's something to be proud of. You deserve an online presence that actually reflects your work. Trust me when I say, if you invest in your business, it will grow.

Work together.

let's make magic!!

Thank you for reaching out, I cannot wait to hear from you! I will be in touch within 2 business days. If you have any additional questions for me, please do not hesitate to email me at cararickers@gmail.com.
