Branding


You brand should speak to what makes you and your business an individual.

sweet words from our clients

Working with Catryn from Sweet Horizon is an absolute joy. She is the creative genius behind my personal brand and home décor shop. She’s incredibly talented – and just a lovely person to create with. Not only did she create branding and websites that I LOVE… but she makes everything so organized and easy along the way with constant communication.

– Meghan : Stevie Interiors

I am not kidding when I say that you pulled out the soul and vision of my blog more than I ever could have. I knew what I wanted it to look like, but the way you brought it to life was better than my wildest dreams. You are so very talented and possess an incredible, rare, and unique skill set to be able to do this for your clients. I am so thankful that I found you to work with! You go above and beyond in your work and I absolutely plan to work with you again!!!

– Amanda : A Joyful Blush

I had so many random ideas and thoughts about what I wanted for my brand and website, but I didn’t exactly know how to piece them together. Catryn took my clustered vision and turned it into a beautiful, concise plan that perfectly depicts my mission for my small business. My expectations were far exceeded and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the final outcome!! Catryn truly catered to my every need and so kindly communicated her thoughts and ideas on how to make my brand stand out. Working with Sweet Horizon Studios has been an absolute dream!! I can’t recommend Catryn and her team enough to anyone looking for a branding and/or website designer!

Custom Branding

Custom Branding

wHAT IS CUSTOM BRANDing

Our collaborative custom brand service starts with some major business strategy as we deep dive into what makes your business unique, where you see your business heading in the future, and how you want your audience and clientele to experience your services. Next we go all in on the look and feel of your new brand as we cultivate our strategy sessions into one-of-a-kind visuals for your business. There are no cookie cutter brands here, since you will leave with a stand out brand that solidifies you as an expert in your field and showcases your value to your peers and your ideal clients.

  • after contract is signed and deposit is paid, a collection of brand questionnaires will be added to your Sweet Horizon portal
  • all brand questionnaires should be completed before the official design start date
  • together we will work through all your brand assets, typically with Catryn presenting concepts on Friday and you sending back feedback by Monday

sweet words from our clients

My expectations were far exceeded!! I am literally obsessed with how this brand and website turned out. OBSESSED!! From the logo (and sub logos) to the color palette, the fonts, the paper goods and THE WEBSITE!! It’s stunning… absolutely stunning!! I’m struggling to put into words just how happy I am with everything. See, I don’t even like the word “happy” there… let’s say ECSTATIC instead with the understanding that it’s even more than that for me! Saying thank you doesn’t even feel adequate enough for what you delivered with this project, but I hope you know that I am forever grateful for what you have created and to have worked with you on this project!

– Hannah : Midi Mae

From the second I inquired, I felt like a valued and important client. The response time was so quick every time, all 900 of my questions were happily answered, and emails/concepts were sent in a more than reasonable timeframe! I felt as if you were as excited as I was to design this site and get it launched! Your attention to detail, assistance, and design were absolutely amazing, and I cannot say enough good things! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my brand and my website. I know it sounds silly, but I enjoyed the process and outcome so much, I wish I had another site for you to design for me. Thank you again x100!

– Alyssa : Leigh Photography

I love everything about working with Sweet Horizon Studio – from the actual person behind the brand, to the organization of the questionnaires, to of course… THE FINAL PRODUCT. I really can’t sing your praises enough.”

Custom Web Design

Custom Web Design

How Custom Web Design Works

Our custom web design process starts with an in-depth look at your industry, your dream clients, and your messaging. From there we design each page of your site to create an engaging and totally unique experience for your visitors that turns them into paying customers. Mobile functionality, clear sales funnels, trend-setting designs, and easy to update websites are a MUST for all of our clients and innovating what a website can be is one of our favorite parts of what we do.

Theme Customization

Themes Customization

How Theme customization works

We’ve designed a collection of WordPress themes that are not only aesthetically beautiful but also super functional and easy to update & maintain on your own. Every page layout is strategically designed so that every area of your site points to a call-to-action to keep your customers and readers exploring and buying from you. We offer theme customization on any of our themes if you want us to tailor the theme specifically to what you need or if website dashboards and behind the scenes setups are really not your cup-of-tea.

The process

  • shop our themes, view the demo sites to see them in action, and find one that speaks to you
  • once your order is placed you’ll receive some questionnaires within 24 hours
  • submit your questionnaires and we will notify you that we have received your specifications
  • we will set up a time to go over some details of your theme customization and setup
  • we will make changes to your current site and implement your theme customizations and any additions we’ve agreed upon
  • within the week, you’ll have a new site design with tutorials on how to update and maintain anything on your site
