STEPHEN PALACINO
In 2012, I started Page 1 Branding with a simple goal—to brand and launch my parents’ growing goat milk soap business. In 30 days, my wife and I named, trademarked, and branded their soap and a dream was born—both for my parents and for me.
I’m often asked if Page 1 refers to a search engine ranking. And while that’s important, the name is about more than a digital presence. Page 1 is about the people behind every business—people like my parents on the cusp of something new, people in transition, people looking to start their dream. Page 1 is a literary reference to a new beginning.
I work with people looking to launch or pivot their business and provide the web design, graphic design, and strategies they need to grow their business and do more of what they love.

No! My 48 Hour Website is only built in Squarespace. However, other websites are built on the platform that makes the most sense for your business—whether it be Squarespace, Shopify, or Wordpress. We’ll review your options and decide on the one that’s best for you.

I literally build your website in two days! Clients LOVE how quickly they get up and running! This option works well for those with smaller website needs, and can still include simple booking options depending on the complexity. In order to align our goals and design direction beforehand, we’ll:
Schedule a Zoom conversation to go over your goals for the site.
Complete a Pre-build Questionnaire to gather content.
Look at sites you like, and agree on a design direction.
Select two days on the calendar for your project.
After the first day, the site will be nearly complete and on day two, we’ll have time for minor copy changes and photo updates. While most website builds are booked months in advance, 48 Hour Websites are worked into the design calendar on a rolling basis. Want more time? Additional design days can be added for $1,500/day.

Yep. Every website I build comes with pre-launch website training so you’ll feel comfortable making edits in the future. This isn’t my website—it’s yours! I want to empower you to be able to quickly edit your site as needed. If you do need me for larger site changes or simply would like for me to make edits for you, I’m happy to do so at an hourly or project rate.
-
We’ll review this during our pre-build call, but in general, I will need all items you want on the website. For branding sites, this would include brand photos, logos, bios, headshots, and agreement on the content/copy to go on the website. We may refine the copy during the process, but I’ll need a rough draft or starter copy to begin. For e-commerce or booking sites, this would include products and/or package offerings, prices, descriptions, and product photos.
-
Yes. Most design work is booked weeks in advance with websites being booked 3+ months in advance. A downpayment is required in order to reserve your place on the design calendar.
-
I frequently work with clients around the United States and sometimes around the world. Regardless of the timezone, I do my best to accommodate live Zoom meetings whenever possible.
-
The only fee you’ll pay moving forward for your website is the hosting fee or subscription fees for any third-party apps associated with your website. These are provided at-cost. In fact, during the pre-launch handoff, we’ll put the website and billing in your name (if desired). There are no ongoing fees from Page 1 Branding after a website goes live.
