Business Startup Package

New business idea? Kick things off with a solid foundation: URL, email, logo, business cards, landing page.

We’re all about ideas – validating them, that is. We don’t believe you should spend all your money on a logo before you’ve gotten feedback from clients and colleagues. But you won’t get far if you don’t look professional… so where’s the middle ground?

After nearly two decades of working directly with startup founders, Sarah Schumacher built you the bare minimum to kick things off.

what's included

Our Base Startup Package includes the absolute bare minimum: domain name/URL registration and configuration, email account setup and a professional email signature.

 

From there, you can choose to add additional account setup, logo design (or cleanup), social graphics, business card design and printing, and/or a landing page website. The choices are yours!

Who this package is for:

  • startups who need to inspire confidence in investors
  • serial entrepreneurs launching a new idea
  • soloproneurs creating a professional digital presence
  • hobbyists with a side project who want to look legit

I had an all around amazing experience with Sarah and TTS. She made it important to understand my business and the image I wanted to create. She also offered bits of advice along the way, to make sure I had addressed all the steps necessary when starting a business.

+ Design Package

Choose to add logo design or cleanup, if you have an existing rough draft or old logo that needs redrawn as vector artwork, or simply made to look clean, modern, and professional. Business card design is generally done at the same time, and we will print and ship those cards straight to your door.

+ Website Package

When we register your domain name, we can point it anywhere you'd like: a Facebook, LinkedIn page or Gravatar profile. If you'd like a landing page to look more professional, we include the first year of hosting for free. Google Analytics/Search Console setup will be added to your Google Workspace account setup if you include a website.

Static or WordPress Website Package

We will build either a one page website on a standardized template, or you can choose from our DIY WordPress or SOLO WordPress website packages if you need blogging, email newsletters, and/or custom form functionality. If unsure, select TBD and Sarah will make a recommendation based on your needs at our consultation.

Startup package FAQ's

No problem at all! When we register your domain name, we can point it at your business's Facebook or LinkedIn page, or perhaps a Gravatar profile or other service. We do want to point it somewhere, but that can be temporary if you don't want to add a landing page at this time.

It's the paid version of Gmail, which allows you to use your own domain name, as well as have access to other more storage and other options. Google Workspace is the standard for small businesses and it's 99% of what we set up for our clients.

We can configure your existing domain with the startup package, no problem. Just leave it off the package (or include it if you'd like to add secondary domain, such as a common misspelling). Our questionnaire will ask where your domain is registered, and we will provide instructions on how to share access.

Only one example is needed: Sarah was once at a networking event where someone was using a QR code business card, which she scanned. When she returned to the tab later that week, the QR code had disconnected or encountered an error. Not only was the contact information lost, after talking to so many people she couldn't even remember who that person was.

A physical business card, on the other, might appear on the recipient's desk at an opportune time, particularly if it looks so cool they hate to throw it away...
