“We engaged the team at Original Ginger to create a new website for our business, but ended up with so much more.
Their process and rigour in leading the project greatly improved our self-awareness as a business and ability to effectively communicate our value proposition to the world. We have received so many compliments about our site and our business has continued to grow during a very difficult year.“

“One minute I was meeting with Original Ginger for coffee and the next my dreams were coming true right before my very eyes! When starting my new life coaching practice, I knew I needed to up my game and get working on a brand that aligned with who I am and what I do. I now have a website, logo, professional photos and a marketing plan for my new business that I could not be more proud of. We worked collaboratively, they kept me accountable and on track, and the end result was everything I could have ever wanted and more.
OG will continue to be my first and only choice for brand development and marketing, and I owe them a huge thank you for taking the vision in my head, and bringing it to life. You guys are amazing!“

So you’ve invested in a new website and are unhappy with the results? You hate the design or, even worse, it lacks functionality? You’re not alone! We hear a lot of sad and sometimes shocking stories when people call our office, looking for a way out of their website design dilemma.
Where did things go wrong? A few common pitfalls we see are:
❌ Choosing a designer based solely on budget. Let’s face it – you get what you pay for.
❌ Hiring someone who doesn’t have a lot of experience or clear work process.
❌ Hiring someone who doesn’t know how to professionally manage a project (big red flag!).
❌ Trying to manage several disconnected freelance resources to implement all the moving parts, let’s just chalk this one up to “a lot can get lost in translation.”
Have you had a harrowing experience with a design project? Did it change what value you now place on professional project management and expertise? Would you compromise these things again in the future to pay less, knowing what you know now? Tell us in the comments below if you can relate!
