A MESSAGE FROM CHINELLE
My name is Chinelle Rojas and I'm the owner of The Blk. Creative. I began my design journey in the fall of 2010 and haven't looked back since.
It is extremely important and fulfilling for me to help other small businesses on their journey to taking ownership of their brand and build the experience for their clients.
Your brand is so much more than just a logo and website ... and many people may not realize that. It's about your OVERALL presence. It starts with you as an individual, as the business owner. The way you carry yourself and interact with your clients. THEN comes your logo, website, and everything else. Your ultimate goal should always be making your client experience the best it can be ... That is what will allow you to charge what you are worth and gain those loyal clients that you deserve.
This will help you in your quest to really figure out the direction you want to go for your new website!

WHAT TO EXPECT
-QUESTIONNAIRE-
You'll find the questionnaire at the bottom of this page. This needs to be filled out as detailed as possible to ensure that your website matches your vision ... Don't give me any of that "you're the designer, I trust you" nonsense. You NEED to have some sort of direction.
-DESIGN MEETING-
I will show you a full website design that I developed based on your questionnaire answers.
It gives you the opportunity to openly discuss the revisons you are wanting to see and (as long as they arent extensive changes) they will be revised in your design on the spot during our session.
-DELIVERY-
You can expect your site to be officially launched, AFTER your design payment has been paid in full.

-BRAND INSPIRATION BOARD-
The importance of your inspiration board is exponential. It is a visual collection of everything that you love and envision your website to represent. Here are few types of things that should be incorporated (you will be asked to link your board on the questionnaire).
THINGS TO INCLUDE:
- colors that appeal to you -
- fonts & writing styles that you love -
- patterns that always have you swooning -
images that portray the mood and feel you want associated with your work -
- key elements that speak to you -
- room/ studio designs -
- clothing styles -
- logos that you like -
- sites that you like -
When pinning items to your board, it would be helpful to change/ add to the description to specify what it is exactly that appeals to you about a certain pin.
