I contributed to the website design for IQ Ignited, a grant consulting firm.
IQ Ignited had already contracted with a different designer for the site's core layout, which was designed on Wix, but brought me in to refine the design once the contract with the initial designer was finished.
IQ Ignited's CEO and founder, Bria, spoke with me about choosing 3 brand fonts to be used consistently in all of IQ Ignited's written materials. I assisted in selecting 3 fonts that worked well with IQ Ignited's existing logo: Cutive for headings, Alata for subheadings, and Montserrat for body text. The site's previous designer had chosen just one unrelated font when working on the site, so I updated the entire site to reflect the 3 fonts I chose with Bria (see below).
In several places throughout the site, it appeared the chosen photo was not quite in line with IQ Ignited's industry, so I substituted some different images as per Bria's approval. Additionally, IQ Ignited's primary brand colors are indigo and orange, but these colors were not entirely consistent across the design, so I reviewed this to ensure the appearance was unified.
I also had a look at the site's Contact page to ensure the integrated contact form was interfacing properly with Zapier to automatically populate submissions into IQ Ignited's chosen project management tool, ClickUp (see below).

For clients to easily reference IQ Ignited's FAQs and find the answer only to the question they are looking for without needing to read other irrelevant details, I created a toggle-down style FAQs page (see below).
The process of refining IQ Ignited's website design took roughly one week. Here's what Bria had to say about working with me:
When I looked to hire a VA, I only wanted relief from my overwhelming administrative burden. I was not prepared for the gift that Monica Frank would be. Monica is competent, professional, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure your business succeeds. In the months that she has been with my company, she has streamlined our processes, provided valuable insights, and created materials to level-up our marketing. Our business is scaling rapidly, and this would not have been possible without her.”
