WHAT IF YOU COULD...

create & scale your small business, in a simpler way....

uh, yes please

neutral-linen-background-texture

A calm, step-by-step membership that teaches you the foundations of planning, branding, websites, SEO, and simple systems, so you can confidently grow your business without feeling overwhelmed.

. . . . .

Why building a business often feels harder than it needs to be:

Most creative business owners don’t struggle because they lack talent, ideas, or motivation. They struggle because no one ever showed them how the pieces of business actually fit together in a clear, practical way. Instead, advice comes in fragments. A little about branding here. A tip about SEO there. Someone telling you to “just start,” without explaining what starting should look like. So you try to do everything at once. You make progress, but it feels scattered. You work hard, but you’re never quite sure if you’re building the right things in the right order. That kind of uncertainty is exhausting.

​

You’re not behind; you’re just missing a clear order.

​

Business starts to feel lighter when the foundation is clear. Not because you suddenly work harder, but because you finally understand what matters first, what can wait, and how to set things up so they support you instead of draining you.

​

That clarity is exactly what this membership is built to give you.

I learned this the hard way...

I didn’t start my business with a plan. I started with ideas, scribbled notebooks, half-formed products, and the quiet hope that maybe this could turn into something meaningful over time.

​

I wasn’t afraid of effort. I was frustrated by uncertainty. What changed everything wasn’t a new platform or a clever strategy. It was realizing I was trying to build on top of a foundation I’d never actually created.

​

​There was a season where I felt busy but not productive. Creative, yet unfocused. Excited, but stuck. Exhausted from trying to hold everything in my head at once. What I needed wasn’t more hustle. I needed a different way of building, one rooted in clarity instead of chaos. Something steady. Something that supported me instead of draining me. So I stripped everything back and focused on the foundation.

​

I clarified what my business was really about before adding more. I worked through branding and messaging before creating endlessly. I built a simple website that made sense to real people. I learned SEO so I could be found without chasing trends. And I put systems in place so my business didn’t require constant decision-making.

​

Slow.       Steady.      Clear.     Calm.

​

Little by little, everything shifted. My business started to feel like it was working with my life instead of competing with it. That process, learning what matters, and in what order, became the foundation for the Designed Simply Membership.

THE SIMPLE BUSINESS
blueprint

Building a business doesn’t have to feel scattered. Inside the Designed Simply Membership, we follow a clear, intentional path that focuses on the foundations first, so everything else becomes easier to build and a whole lot less overwhelming.

.................................................

business plan

We begin with clarity. Before you create more offers, content, or products, we focus on building a solid business plan and setting up the essentials that support it, things like structure, accounts, finances, and foundational legal policies. This step brings focus and direction, so you’re no longer guessing at every decision or rebuilding later. It’s the moment everything starts to feel lighter.

branding & messaging

From there, we move into branding and messaging, and yes, it goes far beyond choosing colors or fonts. We focus on clarifying your brand voice, values, and positioning so the right people immediately understand what you offer, who it’s for, and why it matters. Then we bring it to life visually. You’ll build a cohesive visual identity through colors, typography, logos, and overall aesthetic, so everything feels intentional, aligned, and easy to trust at first glance. When your branding is clear, marketing gets simpler, because you’re no longer trying to explain yourself from scratch every time.

Next, we move into your website and SEO, not to build something complicated or perfect, but to create a clear, functional foundation for your online presence. You’ll learn how to structure your website so it makes sense to real people, builds trust quickly, and gently guides visitors toward the right next step. Then we approach SEO in a practical, sustainable way, so you understand how people search for what you offer, and how to create pages that can be found over time without chasing trends or constantly reinventing your content. Because a good website shouldn’t just look nice, it should work.

..................................................

................................................

systems & organization

From there, we focus on systems and organization, this is where your business starts to feel lighter. You’ll learn how to create simple workflows, organize your ideas and files, and build repeatable systems so you’re not reinventing the wheel every time you sit down to work. We also cover practical automation and email list setup, not to add complexity, but to reduce your mental load and help your business run more smoothly in the background. Less chaos. More momentum.

.................................................

  Offers

​

 your

​

Finally, we focus on your offers: products, services, or a mix of both. With a clear foundation in place, you’re able to create with intention instead of impulse. Rather than constantly starting over or wondering what to do next, you’ll learn how to build offerings that fit your skills, support your goals, and make sense for the people you’re trying to serve. This step helps you move forward with confidence, knowing your ideas are backed by structure, clarity, and a steady plan. That’s when your business starts to feel sustainable and success stops feeling like a guessing game.

Should I add passive products...

If you’ve ever thought about adding passive income, I’m a big believer in it, because I built my own business with digital and print-on-demand products, and it really is a wonderful model. But here’s the key: passive products work best when they’re built on a solid foundation. 

​

When your branding is clear, when your website makes sense, and when your SEO is working for you, adding a passive offer becomes a simple, scalable next step. This works whether you’re a service provider, a product-based business owner, or somewhere in between. Inside the membership, we’ll show you how to build passive products in a way that feels steady and strategic (not random and rushed).

Print-on-Demand

Print-on-Demand is one of the fastest growing product arenas and for good reason. You simply design your product & list it for sale. The Print-on-Demand company integrates with your website or marketplace site and ships the item directly to the customer saving you time & effort.

Digital Products

Digital Products are a fantastic tool to grow your business with ease. They have larger profit margins than Print-on-Demand and they're delivered to the customer instantly, making the whole transaction process run smoothly. You can sell them on your website or on a marketplace making them extra versatile. 

So how much does it cost

and why did we price it this way....

We know other programs that cover business foundations like planning, branding, websites, SEO, and systems often cost $2,000+ upfront, sometimes with even more “upgrades” layered on top. But we also know the people who need this support most, creatives, side hustlers, and solo entrepreneurs building real income, are often the first to get priced out.

​

Designed Simply is built to be valuable and accessible, because you shouldn’t have to drain your savings just to learn how to build a business the right way. We believe in honest pricing, sustainable growth, and creating real opportunities for people like you.

​

This isn’t a handout. It’s a decision to build something better… for all of us.

Total value: $2,500+/year

We’ve recently expanded the syllabus with new lessons, and pricing will increase once those lessons are complete, so joining now locks in the current rate.

I'm Andrea,

hand-drawn line

I've been exactly where you are right now.

Starting my business has been both fulfilling and frustrating. I had more ideas than I knew what to do with, and I struggled to make sense of all the information out there, SEO, algorithms, branding, marketing… it felt like every step came with a brand-new learning curve. I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way, the kind that cost time, energy, and money, but they also taught me what actually matters when building a small business.

 

I learned how to cut through the noise, simplify my workflow, and create systems that support my life instead of taking it over. This membership was created so you don’t have to learn everything the hard way. Inside, you’ll find clear, steady guidance to help you build your foundation first, from clarity and planning, to branding and messaging, to websites, SEO, and simple systems that make your business easier to manage and easier to grow.

​

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to be “tech savvy.” You don’t have to hustle to keep up. You just need a clear path, and you absolutely can do this.

FAQ~

DETAILS MATTER. SO HERE'S A BIT MORE:

01

What is your Cancellation & Refund Policy: 

You can cancel anytime, no questions asked. Just be sure to cancel at least 3 days before your next renewal date so you aren’t charged for the following month. Because this is a digital membership with immediate access to the full library, we offer refunds within the first 7 days only.

02

Do I need to have a business already:

Nope. Whether you’re starting from scratch or rebuilding something you’ve outgrown, the membership will guide you through the foundations step by step.

03

I don’t have a lot of time. Will this still work for me:

Yes. Everything inside is designed to be simple, clear, and easy to follow at your own pace. No pressure, no deadlines — just a steady path you can come back to whenever you’re ready.

04

What if I'm not a "tech" person: 

You’re in the right place. We walk through website basics, SEO, planning, and systems in a very approachable way, calm, practical, and not overwhelming.

05

What kind of templates are included:

A lot. You’ll get plug-and-play Canva templates that make it easier to take action, whether you’re creating a digital product, a freebie, or something to support your workflow.

​

Templates include things like planners, calendars, habit trackers, social media planners, cards and tags, homeschool and business documents, portfolios, ebook layouts, slide decks, and more. Everything comes with an easy Canva edit link, and if you’re looking for something specific, you can always ask.

06

Can I join if I have a service-based business or am not a designer:

Absolutely. The foundation pieces apply to any small business — and if you want to add products later, I’ll show you how to create simple offers in Canva even if you don’t have design experience.

07

What if I don't have a product idea yet:

That’s completely okay. We start with clarity, your goals, your strengths, and what matters to you, so you can choose a direction that actually fits. And if you think you don’t have ideas yet… I have a sneaky suspicion you have more than you realize.

08

What kind of support is included:

You’ll have support inside the community: a place to ask questions, get feedback, and work through the foundations without doing it alone. You’ll also get guidance from me along the way, so you’re never stuck trying to figure everything out in isolation.

09

Will this help if I already have a business or website:

Yes. A lot of members join because they’re not starting from zero; they’re just tired of things feeling scattered. We’ll help you strengthen your foundation, simplify what isn’t working, and build a clearer path forward (especially with branding, website structure, SEO, and systems).

10

Can I switch from monthly to annual:

Absolutely. You can upgrade anytime, and your account will adjust smoothly on your next billing cycle.

11

What exactly is included each month:

You’ll have access to the full lesson library, templates, and resources, plus ongoing support inside the membership. New content and tools are added regularly, but the real value is having a clear path to follow and a place to get help as you build.

Ready for a calmer way to build..

If you’re tired of feeling scattered and you’re ready for a clear path, I’d love to welcome you inside the Designed Simply Membership. You’ll get access to the full resource library, a simple step-by-step roadmap, and ongoing support as you build a business that fits real life.

​

The membership is hosted on Mighty Networks, so everything is organized in one place and you can access it on a desktop or inside the app whenever you need it.

You’ll lock in the current price for as long as you stay enrolled.

Before you join...

Over the years, I’ve followed and learned from several big-name educators I truly admire. Their work is incredible- but the downside of their success is that you don’t really get access to them anymore. Your questions can feel small. Their answers can feel rushed. And the whole experience starts to feel a little disconnected. That’s not the kind of business I want to build. And it’s not the kind of space I want to create here.

​

My dream has always been a business that gives me real freedom, financial freedom, creative freedom, and the freedom to live fully without being glued to a screen. I don’t want to be a CEO or someone who’s constantly “on.” I want things to work simply and steadily. I want time to enjoy the world God made, create when I’m inspired, and live at a pace that feels peaceful.

​

That’s why this membership exists. It’s built with intention, clarity, and room to breathe. You won’t get lost in the crowd, and you won’t be left hanging when you need help. Even as we continue expanding the library, you’ll have a clear path to follow, simple systems to lean on, and support that helps you keep moving forward.

​

Our updated syllabus is scheduled to be fully complete by June 2026. When the full library is released, pricing will increase, but if you join now, you’ll lock in the current rate for as long as you stay enrolled.

I’m building this space slowly and intentionally, and I’d truly love to welcome you inside as it grows. If you have any questions I haven’t answered here, reach out anytime at support@rusticsimpledesign.com
.

Because we know this looks different than what’s out there. That’s the whole point.

​

And yes… good things take time.

I can't wait to see what you create!
