About NicoleBrands
My name is Nicole.
I do branding, web design, photography, and content — and I’m probably not what you picture when you hear “creative agency.”
Who I Am
I’ve been making things look good and make sense for over 15 years. I’m a designer, photographer, and creative director based in Winston-Salem, NC, and I built NicoleBrands specifically for small businesses. The barbershops. The restaurants. The event spaces. The small operations that are out here doing real work and deserve a real presence online.
I’ve done the corporate thing, but it just was never where I felt most useful. I’d rather be in the room with someone who’s building something from the ground up, who lights up when they talk about their business, who just needs someone to help them get seen. That’s the work I actually want to do.
How I Work
No money upfront. Seriously.
Quick Intake
We hop on a call to talk about your business, your goals, and the look you want. No homework required, just a conversation.
Optional Add-Ons
Need a new logo? Professional photos? Content for your social pages? We can bundle that in from the start so everything comes out looking like it belongs together.
Design
I design your website first. You review it, request changes, and we go back and forth until it’s right. You don’t pay anything until you love what you see.
Development
Once you approve the design, I build it out and set everything up behind the scenes. You’ll get a private link to review the live version before it goes anywhere.
Quality Check
I test everything — mobile, desktop, speed, all of it — so there are no surprises after launch.
Launch & Handoff
Your site goes live. I make sure everything is running right and you actually understand how to use what you have.
What I Work With
I build sites by hand or on platforms depending on what makes the most sense for your business and your budget. No one-size-fits-all approach here.
