Template Full Style Showcase: Dean Street Daisies
One of our favorite things at Big Cat Creative is helping creative business owners evolve their websites alongside their growth. Because when your business grows, your website should grow right along with it. And thatβs exactly what our Template Full Style service is designed to do!
So often, business owners stick with the DIY website they launched with. And honestly, thatβs a great, cost-efficient way to get your business out into the world. But as your business starts taking off, your brand becomes clearer, your services become more defined, and suddenly that once-perfect website starts to feel a little too simple for where youβre headed.
That said, you might not be quite ready to spend all of your precious earnings on a full custom website just yet (we get it, website designers are expensive!), which is why we put together a semi-custom website option for when you're right in that in-between.
With our Template Full Style, you choose one of our thoughtfully designed Squarespace templates and we style it for you to reflect your brand personality, aesthetic, and goals, and exactly where your business is at right now. Itβs an elevated, strategic option for small business owners who want something polished and intentional, without starting from scratch or committing to a full custom build.
Thatβs exactly what we created for Karina Roberts of Dean Street Daisies β and the transformation is as dreamy as her floral designs! πΈ
Meet Karina of Dean Street Daisies
Karina is the creative force behind Dean Street Daisies, a wedding and event floristry studio known for its whimsical designs. Her work is thoughtful, romantic, and full of personality β but her website wasnβt quite telling that story (yet!).
When Karina reached out, she knew her existing site no longer reflected where her business had grown. While she appreciated its simplicity, it felt too simple for a brand rooted in creativity and playfulness.
Her goals were clear:
Add more personality and brand identity
Create a more high-end, editorial feel
Showcase her growing portfolio of professional photography
Help potential clients feel her vibe before booking a consultation
Our Template Full Style Process
Step One: The Prep
Every Template Full Style project starts with a little prep and a lot of intention! We kicked things off with our guided onboarding process, designed to really uncover the heart of Dean Street Daisies. Through thoughtful questionnaires and prompts, we learned all about Karinaβs audience, her services, her visual preferences, and how she wanted people to feel when they landed on her website.
With the help of our tutorials and resources, Karina gathered inspiration, refined her copy, and organized her content so our designer had everything needed to move smoothly into the design days ahead.
For her base, Karina chose the Unearth Squarespace Template, which honestly felt like a perfect fit. Its modern, collage-style layout paired beautifully with the whimsical, elevated vibe she wanted and gave us the flexibility to really let all the gorgeous pictures of her florals shine.
Step Two: Design Days
With Karinaβs vision clearly defined, our team jumped into styling and brought everything to life.
Dean Street Daisiesβ floral work now takes center stage, supported by a design that feels curated, expressive, and super easy to navigate.
By the end of the two days, Karina had a fully cohesive website that finally matched the energy of her brand, with plenty of room to grow as her business continues to evolve!
The Transformation
Before
Karinaβs previous website was clean and functional, but it didnβt fully capture her creativity and whimsy. The simplicity muted her brand's personality, and the overall experience didnβt reflect the premium, artistic nature of her work.
After
The new Dean Street Daisies website feels bold, intentional, and inviting.
Itβs fun without feeling juvenile. Elevated without feeling cold. The updated design allows Karinaβs work to shine while guiding visitors smoothly through her services and story. Most importantly, it sets the tone before a consultation ever happens and helps attract clients who already really resonate with her style (hello, dream clients!).
Client Love π
βErica and her team were super nice, supportive, and very talented with their web design process! I did a template full-style session with them which did involve a ton of work on our end, but ultimately made the website styling days a breeze.
They worked quickly and efficiently and I appreciated their communication even after hours! Shelby is a lovely project manager and if you are lucky enough to get Alex to help with your web design, you will have clients knocking on your door in no time. Everything is so pretty!β
