Website design
A website with direction.
Strategy, content structure, visual design, and a dependable WordPress build – connected from the start and built around what visitors need to understand and do.
One connected build
Clarity before decoration.
Good visual design matters most when it helps people understand, trust, and act. These three parts stay connected throughout the project.
01 / Direction
Strategy & structure
Goals, audience needs, page priorities, and a practical content map before the visual work gets ahead of the message.
02 / Expression
Visual system
Typography, color, imagery, and reusable page patterns that feel distinctive without making the website harder to use.
03 / Foundation
WordPress build
Responsive, accessible pages your team can update, with performance, forms, analytics, and launch details handled.
A good fit
You need more than a prettier homepage.
True North is a strong fit when the website has to clarify the organization, reduce friction, and become easier to own after launch.
The message has become hard to explain
We turn competing ideas into a clear hierarchy and page path.
The current site feels dated or difficult
We improve usability, mobile behavior, visual confidence, and editing.
Multiple people need the website to work
Visitors, staff, and leadership get considered in the same system.
You want a partner after launch
Hosting, training, and ongoing improvements have a clear next step.

A clearer storefront with local personality.
Arts & Culture

Website design FAQ
Useful answers before we begin.
How long does a website project take?
Timing depends on scope and content readiness. A focused site can move quickly; a larger or more connected build benefits from a phased schedule agreed on after discovery.
Do we need to have all of our content ready?
No. The project begins by identifying what content exists, what needs revision, and what is missing. Content responsibilities and support are made explicit before build work begins.
Can True North host and maintain the site?
Yes. Hosting, updates, backups, monitoring, and continued support can follow the build so the website does not become an unsupported handoff.
Start with the situation
What does the website need to make clearer?
You do not need a finished brief. Bring the goals, the friction, and what needs to happen next.
