A Stress-Free Path to Your January Website Launch
Launching a new website at the start of the year is a smart move. It signals a fresh chapter for your business and sets the tone for everything that follows. But here’s the thing: while January 1 might feel far away, when you stop to consider design, development, copywriting, and photography, that date is closer than it looks.
To make the process stress-free—and, dare I say, enjoyable—it helps to work backwards from your ideal launch date. This way, you’ll know exactly when to book your designer, when to reach out to your copywriter, when to schedule photo shoots, and when to tackle your own “homework.” Think of it as a roadmap to a smooth, successful launch.
The timeline below is designed to help you:
secure your dream team (before everyone’s calendars fill up)
avoid a stressful holiday-season crunch
maximize the investment you’re making in your custom website
Here’s how to lay the groundwork now, so you step into January with a website worth celebrating:
Note: The timeline above reflects the prospective schedules of Jenika McDavitt and French Blue Photography. Exact dates will vary depending on the professionals you choose. If you’re looking to build a dream team, these women are two of my top recs!
Hiring out my copy to Jenika has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my business. Her ability to climb into the headspace of clients has landed me jobs I only dreamed of - and she can do the same for you! Plus, we’ve tailored a seamless, super efficient experience for those who hire us both. ;)
As you know, impeccable images are a non-negotiable when it comes to portfolio websites. French Blue Photography excels in capturing clean, natural light that effortlessly highlights the beautiful textures and colors that make our clients’ interiors stand out. See some of their work for Arter Design Co. below:

January might feel far away, but trust me - this season moves quickly. I only have 3 spots left before the new year, so let’s make sure your project is one of them!
P.S. I asked Ashlee from Arter Design Co. if she had any advice for other designers as they prepare for a photo shoot. Stay tuned for her top tips!!
