Why Acme Design?

Understanding Clients' Needs

I get to know your business. This allows me to design a website that has a positive ROI.

By getting to know your business and your customers or clients, I am better able to craft a design that acts as a strong case study for improving your overall bottom line.

This is done by asking questions about your goals and by gaining an understanding of how your clients or customers will use the website, as well as learning what your goals are.

Get Started

Carefully Curated Designs

A design that is both beautiful and functional. Usability is paramount, and design should be both accessible and elegant.

After considering every client's needs and goals, I create a design that will work well for users and help clients achieve success.

This means having clear and easy to use calls to action, understanding how users will navigate the site, and considering usability and privacy through the site design and build.

Cost-Saving Features Built-In

Built-in features to save clients money. With CMS and Site Editor features, updating your site is quick and easy.

Updating and maintaining a website can be a time consuming process, but it doesn't have to be. My site builts can be designed to implement a built-in content management system and a Site Editor, which allows clients to make site edits directly on the webpage, without any coding and design skills.

These are great features that save clients time and money.

Client praise

“We had a very specific vision in mind when we began our project and it was not for the faint of heart. Ash and Acme Design executed our needs to the highest order and Ash was very pleasant to work with on top of that. We had a lot of cooks in the kitchen on our side and Acme Design kept an even and upbeat demeanor throughout the entire project. Acme Design is organized, responsible, and creative.”

“Working with Acme Design was the most seamless experience, from start to finish. Before we found a partner to help us build our website, just the thought of tackling such a big undertaking was incredibly daunting. That instantly changed after our first meeting with Acme Design. They were professional, thoughtful and highly communicative, which kept everything on track. Acme Design absolutely elevated our online presence and ultimately helped shape our brand. We couldn't recommend them more.”

Alli Okumura, Founder at Propagate

"Acme Design not only understood the look and feel of what we were looking to achieve, but they were also able to make creative and relevant suggestions to design a website and online shop even bigger and better than what we envisioned—all while sticking to an ambitious timeline! Working with Acme Design has easily been one of the best business decisions we could have made."

Heather Wong, Founder at The Allspicery

Frequently asked questions

Who works at Acme Design?

I'm Ash Blankenship and I founded Acme Design in 2018. As Founder I bring two decades of client work and have helped dozens of clients build strong brands through websites, logos, print, and email marketing. I work one-on-one with clients and manage front-end design.

Occasionally, I may utilize assistance from freelancers for back-end development and other project tasks. I also refer clients to professional photographers and copy writers, as needed.

What is your process?

I’ve carefully crafted the project process over the years to be efficient. I have a four-step process.

• Conversation: During this first phase, I work with clients to gain an understanding of their needs and goals, and to gauge how their clients or customers will use the site.

• Content: I work with clients to gather all content for the site design and build. This includes copy and images.

• Design & Build: The third step is the design and build phase, where I create wireframes, which act as a blueprint for the site design. Once the client approves the design, I build out the site.

• Test & Deploy: I do a final walkthrough with the client before moving to the final stage, which is to test and deploy the site.

How much does a website cost?

I understand that having a new website designed and built is a big investment. While rates depend on the scope of work, I work with each client to understand their needs and goals and to help build a website that has a return on their investment. I judge my success by my client’s success, so when a client makes more money from the website than I did creating it, I know I got it right.

How long does the process take?

During the initial conversation phase of working with clients, I will better be able to gauge the amount of time it will take to complete the project. Some projects have seen a turnaround time of 3 to 6 weeks, while other projects have taken anywhere from 3 to 6 months or longer.

Can our site rank high among Google's search results?

All of my website builds fully integrate Search Engine Optimization (SEO). This means at site launch, your website is fully enabled to make best use of SEO and rank well among search results.

Is hosting included?

Yes, I offer either monthly or annual plans that include hosting, site editor licenses, and more.

Will you maintain the site or will we be responsible for maintenance?

All of the websites can be built with an easy to manage content management system (CMS) that allows clients to update website content in real time with absolutely no web designer or coding skills required. With an easy to update website, clients simply go to the editor and start making changes right there on the web page. Contact me to request a demo.

In addition, Acme Design can manage client's website content for an hourly rate.

What are some of the benefits in having Acme Design build our website?

At Acme Design I value not just design and ROI for my clients, I also understand that your website should be reliable. This is why I build using the gold standard of web design tools and hosting is the very best value for the service available.

Any website Acme Design builds can easily incorporate a blog, portfolio, or any other data source designed to perfectly match the client site's look and feel.

All sites are also hosted on the fastest hosting on the internet, with world-wide content distribution and the data is secure as the hosting has SSL enabled.

If a client decides in the future to move their website to a different platform, the website and data can be exported.

I'm Ash, the founder of Acme Design. I make superb digital experiences with a focus on usability and privacy.
