Build Your Website & Brand

Interview with Sara Metzger

"A lot of people remember color, that's what sticks with them when creating a brand; people think about the logo and the color. Yes, your brand is made up of much more than that but if you can focus on nailing down the direction of the feel these colors create, and what they represent, you have a really good foundation of creating a brand for yourself."

Today on the podcast we’re joined by our good friend and fellow Davey + Krista designer, Sara Metzger. Sara has been on the team for nearly 5 years and she is the genius behind many of the custom brands we create. We’re walking you through the exact process we use to define aesthetics and ultimately create color palettes for our clients.

This episode is full of practical tips to streamline the process if you are…

  • DIYing your own brand
  • elavating your brand
  • or a designer looking to offer a better experience for your client

If you want to watch us put these steps into practice, with the real client’s answers, head to this link.

    Meet Davey & Krista

    We've spent 15+ years designing brands and websites for creative businesses — and paying close attention to what actually works.

    Every template we've built is informed by real client projects, real conversion data, and a deep understanding of what makes someone go from browsing to booking. We don't just design for beautiful. We design for what happens after someone lands on your page.

    That's why our templates don't just come with files. They come with the guidance to use them — writing prompts, launch checklists, and systems that take you from purchase to published.

    We also teach. Our designer courses are where we train the next generation of designers, and DesignEdit is our newsletter for working creatives who want to stay ahead of AI. All of it comes from the same place: the belief that good design should make your business feel lighter, not harder.

    we're Davey & Krista
