Process
Maybe you’re publishing your first novel and you’ve never had a website before. Maybe you’re an established business looking to rebrand. Wherever you are, we’re delighted to meet you there.
Our core design process is the same for every client, but our work is far from cookie-cutter. We want your website to feel like an authentic expression of you.
here’s how we do what we do
1 .
Design Consultation
Our process begins with an in-depth conversation about your goals for the site. We’ll create a proposed layout and quote for you to approve.
2 .
Assets & Inspiration
Next, you’ll collect all of your assets — copy, branding, images, etc. — and send them our way. Overwhelmed? We can help.
3 .
Buildout & Revisions
Once we have all of your materials, we’ll get to work. We’ll send you a first pass, and then work together to finalize a site you absolutely love.
4.
Launch & Educate
You’re ready to go live! But we won’t leave you hanging. We’ll set you up with the tools to make sure your site looks great, now and forever.

Kind Words About Our Work
“Alexandra me a beautiful, professional, platform that feels directly in line with my brand. My friends and colleagues are jealous of how well designed and functional the site is, which is how I know Alexandra really knocked it out of the park. Additionally, Signal Boost could not be a better working experience. Alexandra was kind, creative, collaborative, and deadline oriented. I interviewed many leading website designers and am thrilled that I went with Signal Boost.”
— TARA SCHUSTER, AUTHOR OF BUY YOURSELF THE F*CKING LILLIES
“Alexandra is not only quick, communicative, and great to work with, but she did a beautiful job capturing the essence and voice of our podcast on the website she created for us. It's the perfect landing page for us, and is both professional, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to navigate. I loved working with her and look forward to doing so again in the future.”
— kate spencer, co-host, forever 35
"Signal Boost created a professional, unique site that showcased my creativity while also clearly representing the work I do. Alexandra's work has directly booked me more jobs than my old website. She's incredibly kind and creative, and I plan on working with her for all my design needs."
— ANU VALIA, sundance jury prize winning filmmaker
“Signal Boost has been a true gift in creating beautiful, user-friendly sites for the hospitality brands that I work with in an efficient and cost-effective way. Clients have universally loved working with Alex, who is thoughtful, accommodating and really knows her stuff. She has taken a process that can often be stressful and time consuming, and really made it seamless, while also delivering a superior finished site.”
— LEAH HERMAN, KINDRED PR
“You must hire Signal Boost. Alexandra truly knocked my website out of the park. She made it so damn seamless and lovely and chic. I would sputter dumb words at her about what I thought I wanted and she’d somehow understand me and make it look better than I could’ve imagined. I recommend her to everyone!”
—amy solomon, executive producer of barry + silicon valley
“As a director who works in various media, I was intimidated by the process of building a website that succinctly represents my portfolio of work. Enter Alexandra — savvy, skilled, and an excellent collaborator —who worked patiently to design and build a site that elegantly captures who I am as a professional. Feedback from colleagues always compliments the aesthetic and the clarity — the essential elements in virtual representation. It’s because of Alexandra.”
— benjamin shaw, director
“Signal Boost fully delivered on our ambitious website plans. Alexandra was a true pleasure to work with and provided timely, thoughtful, and innovative design and service. Practically overnight, our website went from a handful of visitors to thousands and we couldn't be more pleased with the final product.”
