The attention of a small studio without limiting what the project can become.

SkinnyDropz Launch

Tasha Conriquez

Owner, SkinnyDropz

Custom E-Commerce + Admin System

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Zimmerman Digital Studio. 💕 I am SO grateful I found her.

When I first reached out to her on August 4th, I knew I needed a new website, but I honestly didn’t even know half of the things I needed until she started building it. 😂 Her attention to detail is AMAZING. She thought of things I never would have thought to ask for and took the time to actually learn how my business works so she could make the website work for me.

Then, right in the middle of her building everything, my old website went down completely. Instead of leaving me stuck without a working site, she worked nonstop to get SkinnyDropz up and running as quickly as possible. And keep in mind — she is ONE person. The amount of time and effort she put into my business in such a short amount of time still blows my mind.

But what I appreciate most is that she didn’t just make me a pretty website. She built me something that makes running my business easier. There are so many little details in the website and admin side that I didn’t even know were possible, much less know to ask for. She listened to every single thing I wanted, figured out what I actually needed, and somehow made it even better than what I had pictured.

Even after launching, she has continued helping me fine-tune things and add little details as I realize there are things I want changed or added. She has put so much time, thought, and effort into making sure everything works the way I need it to, and I truly appreciate every bit of it.

I love what she has done for SkinnyDropz so much that I’m already fixing to have her start on a website for our bounce house business, Andrea’s Celebration Co. 🥺💕 I cannot WAIT to see what she does with that one because now I know what she’s capable of when I give her a vision and let her run with it!

If you own a business and need a website — I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Zimmerman Digital Studio. I genuinely don’t think I could recommend her enough. She has absolutely earned my trust, and I am so thankful I found her. 💕

Verified Client Review

Webflow Rebuild
I had an outdated website from 2022 that I needed help with. Since the website is on Webflow, you have to really know what you’re doing to make adjustments. I hired another company to add a few forms to my page and unfortunately my old website got broken in the process. A lot of people reached out when I posted my needs on social media, but Arianna came highly recommended. She performed a full analysis of our site, identified its many weaknesses, and even gave me the option to just fix the forms and make it look unified again OR an entire website overhaul. She priced it fairly and even let me split it up in three different payments. Her goal is to gain repeat business and that’s exactly what she did. I will tell anybody who listens — Zimmerman Digital Media is the best around. She did what she said she would do and got the SEO started.

Two months ago, I called this company, and after talking to Miss Zimmerman, she has landed me more jobs than I have had in my 10 years of service. I have been booked months in advance, and nobody has ever helped my online presence as much as she has.

Arianna is amazing! She built my real estate website and it is absolutely fabulous, truly everything I could have dreamed of and more. She took my ideas, elevated them, and created something beautiful, functional, and totally on brand.

The Standard

Build the right thing. Do what you said you would do. Make the client proud to show it off.

05The Process

From idea
to execution.

A clear process keeps the project focused, protects the quality of the final product, and makes sure every decision still ties back to the business goal.

You always know what stage the project is in, what comes next, and what is being built before launch.

01

Understand The Business

Discover

We define the business goals, audience, project scope, functionality, timeline, technical requirements, and what the final digital experience needs to accomplish.

02

Shape The Experience

Design

The visual direction, page architecture, content hierarchy, interactions, brand expression, and user experience are refined into one cohesive design system.

03

Build The System

Develop

The approved direction becomes a polished responsive build with clean development, integrations, SEO structure, accessibility, functionality, and performance in mind.

04

Move It Into The World

Launch

The final product is tested, deployed, connected, optimized, prepared for search engines, and transitioned into either full ownership or optional ongoing support.

After Launch

Take full ownership, or keep ZDS involved as your digital partner.

DiscoverDesignDevelopTestLaunch
06Website Care

Built beyond
launch.

Launch does not have to mean starting over with someone else every time the website needs an update, improvement, or new functionality.

Ongoing support is available for clients who want ZDS to stay involved — but it is never required.

Your Website. Your Choice.

Prefer full ownership after launch? Absolutely.

Your project can be handed over with the appropriate files, credentials, hosting access, accounts, and resources needed to manage it independently.

No monthly plan required.

Ongoing care is an option, not a condition of working with Zimmerman Digital Studio.

08The ZDS Model

Direct by
design.

Zimmerman Digital Studio is intentionally structured around a direct working relationship instead of the layers that often come with a traditional agency.

The person learning your business is the same person making the strategic, visual, and technical decisions behind the final product. That creates clearer communication, stronger creative consistency, and more accountability throughout the build.

Small Studio. Serious Capability.

Boutique attention without shrinking the ambition of the project.

01Communication

Direct From Day One

You work directly with the person responsible for the strategy, design, development, and final execution of the project.

02Consistency

One Creative Direction

The project stays visually and technically aligned because it is not being passed between disconnected departments or outsourced teams.

03Ownership

More Care Per Project

Each project receives focused attention, intentional decisions, and the level of detail needed to create something genuinely custom.

How ZDS Works

One relationship from first conversation to final launch.

No template-first process
No agency handoff
No confusing chain of communication
Design and development stay connected

10Frequently Asked

Before we
build.

A few of the questions businesses usually have before starting a website, e-commerce, or custom development project with ZDS.

If your project is more specialized, the best answers usually come from looking at the actual business and what you are trying to build.

Still Have Questions?

The right project starts with a clear conversation.

You do not need to know the technical solution before reaching out. Explain what the business needs to accomplish, what is not working now, and where you want to go next.

WebsitesCommerceSystems

If it lives in the digital side of the business, it is worth discussing.

ZDS works on custom websites, e-commerce platforms, business dashboards, customer portals, digital systems, Shopify builds, automation, SEO-focused websites, and other custom digital experiences. The scope depends on what the business actually needs rather than forcing every project into the same package.

Projects are designed around the business, brand, audience, and functionality required. Existing platforms such as Shopify or Webflow may be used when they make sense, but the visual direction and implementation are customized rather than relying on a generic template-first process.

Yes. ZDS can also build the systems behind the website, including administrative dashboards, customer accounts, authentication, inventory tools, order management, shipping integrations, portals, internal workflows, forms, automation, and database-driven functionality.

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward business website may take several weeks, while a larger e-commerce platform or custom digital system can require significantly more development time. A project timeline is established before development begins.

No. Ongoing maintenance is completely optional. If you prefer to manage the website independently, ZDS can provide the appropriate project files, credentials, hosting access, accounts, and resources during handoff. Maintenance plans are available only for clients who want continued support.

Yes. Once the agreed project balance has been completed, the project can be transferred with the appropriate ownership, credentials, files, hosting access, and connected resources. Any third-party subscriptions or platform fees remain subject to the terms of those providers.

Yes. Existing websites can be audited, repaired, redesigned, rebuilt, migrated, or expanded depending on their current condition and platform. In some cases, improving the existing build makes sense; in others, rebuilding provides a cleaner and more scalable foundation.

SEO foundations are considered during the build, including site structure, metadata, performance, accessibility, technical setup, and search-friendly architecture. More extensive local SEO, content strategy, and ongoing search work can also be included when the project requires it.

Yes. ZDS works both locally and remotely. Strategy calls, design reviews, development updates, feedback, testing, and launch can all be handled remotely with a structured communication process.

Start by sending an inquiry with a little information about the business, what you are trying to build, the problems you want to solve, and any timeline you are working toward. From there, ZDS can determine the best direction and prepare the next steps.

Have Something More Complex?

Custom projects rarely fit perfectly inside a frequently asked question.

Worth
Remembering.

If your business has outgrown the website it has, needs something it does not have yet, or is ready for a stronger digital foundation, that is where the conversation starts.

Bring the idea, the problem, or even just the goal. ZDS can help determine what the right digital solution should become.
