View Full Case StudyAre You Brand Ready?
A beautiful website starts with a strong brand foundation. Before we build your Shopify website, we need more than just a logo and a few colors.
What Does Branding Ready Mean?
A logo is not a brand. Your website should reflect a complete and cohesive brand experience that helps customers recognize, trust, and connect with your business.
- ✔ Logo Suite
- ✔ Color Palette
- ✔ Typography
- ✔ Messaging
- ✔ Target Audience
- ✔ Brand Guidelines
Need Branding First?
If you only have a logo and colors, I recommend starting with branding before investing in a website. A strong brand creates a stronger website.

Why Marie Gems?
Your website should be built by someone who understands both the creative and technical sides of running a small business.
Built By A Small Business Owner, For Small Business Owners
When you work with Marie Gems, you're not working with a large agency where your project gets passed between multiple people. You'll work directly with me from start to finish.
- ✔ Direct Communication Throughout Your Project
- ✔ Shopify Website Design Experience
- ✔ SEO-Focused Strategy & Implementation
- ✔ Branding & Visual Identity Knowledge
- ✔ Real Small Business Experience
I hold a degree in web development and combine technical knowledge with creative branding strategy to help businesses create websites that are both beautiful and functional.
As a small business owner and mom entrepreneur, I understand what it's like to build something from the ground up while balancing family, responsibilities, and growth goals.
I love helping other small business owners bring their branding and websites to life—especially those who value supporting mom-owned businesses instead of handing their project off to a large agency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before applying? Here are a few common things to know before starting The Code • Craft • Create Website Experience.
Do you use AI to build websites?
No. While AI may occasionally be used for research, planning, or brainstorming, your website is manually designed and built around your business, branding, goals, products, and customer experience.
Do I need Shopify already?
No. I can help you set up Shopify from the beginning or work with an existing Shopify store if you already have one.
Do I need branding first?
Yes. A complete brand foundation is required before website design begins. This means more than a logo and colors — you should have a logo suite, color palette, typography, messaging, target audience clarity, and brand guidelines.
How long does it take?
Most website projects take 1–4 weeks depending on project scope, content readiness, branding readiness, and how quickly feedback is provided.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. If you already have a Shopify website, I can redesign it to improve branding, layout, navigation, mobile experience, and overall customer flow.
Will it be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website is designed with mobile users in mind and tested across screen sizes so your customers can browse, shop, and contact you with confidence.
