Custom Design
-
Founders with a product or service who want a website designed to support premium pricing and confident sales.
This is Custom Website Design for founders who are done hiding behind “not ready yet” delivered through the Gumptious Launch System. -
1/ POSITIONING, PRICING & DEMAND CLARITY
Get clear on what you offer, who it’s for, and why it’s worth paying for
Set pricing you can state without explaining or shrinking
Decide what actually drives demand, and what doesn’t matter
Result: You know what to say, who it’s for, and what to charge, without hesitating.
2/ MARKETING SYSTEM & CLIENT ACQUISITION LOGIC
Decide how clients should find you and what your website is supporting
Choose one clear action your site is built around
Stop changing your message every time you post or pitch
Result: Your website supports getting clients instead of creating more questions.
3/ COMPLETE WEBSITE BUILD
A clean, beautiful, functional Squarespace website built on business logic instead of pretty pictures
Clear pages, navigation, and calls to action
Designed to feel credible, settled, and easy to use
Result: Your site finally reflects confidence, not “still figuring it out.”
4/ MEASUREMENT & CONTROL
Track only what tells you if this is working
Ignore vanity metrics and unnecessary dashboards
Know when to stay the course and when to adjust
Result: You can see what’s working, focus on it, and stop chasing everything else.
5/ LAUNCH & HANDOFF
A fixed timeline to go live
Clear guidance on what changes later — and what stays fixed
Confidence using your site without reopening old decisions
Result: After launch, you know exactly what to focus on next — without tearing the site apart.

Oh, and look who’s talking!
HI, I’M MARIA.
I’m equal parts business brain, brand whisperer, and unapologetic advocate for bold women building big things.
For over a decade, I’ve built high-performing systems for Fortune 500s: strategy-backed, conversion-focused, and engineered to sell. My MBA in Business Design and Masters in Global Affairs taught me something most designers miss: beautiful isn't enough if it doesn't convert across markets and mindsets.
The more I looked around the online space, the more I saw brilliant women blending in, undercharging, and showing up smaller than their work deserves.
So I created GUMPTIOUS DESIGN SHOP, elevated designs that help you look like the expert you already are.
Polished. Premium. Unignorable.
Because a beautiful website is nice. But a website that gets you paid…
That’s power.

You adapt and launch the site yourself using a pre-designed structure, with guidance and support as needed.Best if you:
Are comfortable making decisions independently
Want speed and cost efficiency
Already feel clear on your positioning
Custom sites (The Gumptious Launch System)
I lead the design and build end-to-end.This includes:
Visual direction for the site experience
Application of existing brand assets
Clear site structure and user flow
Responsive build, testing, and launch
Post-launch handoff with guidance for ongoing use
Best if you:
Want decisions handled, not delegated
Prefer a focused, done-for-you engagement
Value precision and cohesion over experimentation
-
Nope. Zero. Nada. Squarespace is user-friendly, and I’ll guide you through whatever you need to know — no coding required.
-
Templates: Your content, photos, and branding (fonts/colors/logo). Don’t worry, you’ll get a prep checklist so you know exactly what to gather.
Custom sites : You don’t need everything figured out. Come with a rough sense of what you’re building, any materials you already have, and a willingness to make clear decisions. Clients arrange their own photography, and I can support with creative direction to guide the look and feel. Clarity is part of the process, not something you need beforehand.
-
For Custom sites, I can design upto 10 pages. Extra pages can be added for a fee, just hit me up.
-
I specialize in designing websites for women founders and creative entrepreneurs who want a site that’s both stylish and strategic. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
-
Templates: You’ll bring the words, and you make them look styled + strategic on the page. I will include some pointers with the template that you can take help from.
Custom: You can upgrade the base custom design package to include copywriting. If you choose that, I’ll write your website copy as part of the couture experience, so every headline, section, and CTA is aligned with your brand voice and my EPIC Framework™.
-
You’ll get a walkthrough for any services you pick so you can confidently edit, swap photos, or update text on your own. If you still have questions, you can always email me.
-
Template → For your 1:1 please book 1–2 weeks in advance.
Custom → Reserve at least 2–4 weeks ahead.
-
My timelines are realistic, and I’ve designed each package to get you to launch. But if something runs over (like content delays), we’ll adjust or add on extra support so you’re never left hanging.
