Is it possible to have a cohesive, custom brand on a small business budget?

I believe every business deserves access to cohesive branding and web design — no matter its size.
But let’s be honest, that can get tricky.

Brand designers typically price their packages based on a few things:

1. Experience.
How long has the designer been doing what they’re doing?
Lower-priced packages usually mean the designer has less experience — which isn’t a bad thing! It just means they may not have the same depth of knowledge as a seasoned designer.

2. Deliverables.
What are you actually getting when you hire them?
Fewer deliverables usually mean a lower cost. More deliverables mean a higher investment.

3. Capacity.
How many clients can they take on each month?
Some designers work a second job and can only handle 1–2 clients a month, while full-time designers have to price accordingly to cover their expenses.

What if I told you that you could have the seasoned designer experience — while only paying a fraction of the cost?

Like I said earlier, every business deserves the chance to have a well-established and cohesive brand. It’s what drives sales and sets the foundation for success.

When you’re starting your own business, you’re already wearing about ten different hats: you’re the owner, the marketing team, HR, finance, photographer, designer — basically the whole show. But here’s the thing… you don’t have to be.

You might be asking, “Mariah… I’m just starting my business and barely have any income coming in. How am I supposed to afford a brand AND a web designer?”

I’m glad you asked.

I just launched my Mini Brand and Mini Bundle packages — designed specifically for small business owners like you.

The Mini Brand gives you exactly what you need to get started:

• One custom logo
• A curated color palette
• Font selections to use across your marketing

This helps your business start off cohesive and legit, saving you the headache of rebranding too soon.

The Mini Bundle takes it a step further — it’s the Mini Brand plus a one-page website. The perfect little launch package. And once your business grows? You can easily add on more — whether it’s extra website pages or new brand elements like icons and patterns.

I’m here to help you start strong and cheer you on along the way.

What about your bigger packages?
Don’t worry! I’ve got those too. My Signature Brand Experience and full Brand + Web packages are for business owners who are ready to go all in — complete brand strategy, multi-logo suites, custom web design, and the works.

If the Minis are your starting point, the Signature Experience is your “I’m ready to scale” moment.
Think of it as leveling up your brand once you’ve got your foundation solid.

So next time someone says that owning a small business means doing it all yourself, show them this blog. You don’t have to wear every hat — especially not the designer one. Hand that part off to me.

I’ve got you.
