Subject: Re: Website redesign for launch
Hi Dana,
Thank you so much for thinking of me for the redesign — I've loved working with you and I'm excited about your launch.
I can't deliver a full website redesign well in one week — rushing it would compromise the quality you deserve, and I'd rather be honest than deliver something I'm not proud of.
For the launch, I propose we do a focused launch refresh instead: I can update the homepage, key product/service pages, and mobile navigation with the new direction, plus a temporary landing page for the announcement, all within the week. We can then schedule the full redesign right after launch, building on this foundation.
Would that work for you? I'm happy to jump on a call tomorrow to map it out.
Warmly,
Sam
