You've built something worth showing up for.
Now let's build the brand and website to match.
Here's the thing nobody tells you when you start a business:
Having the talent isn't enough. Having the offer isn't enough. Even having the clients isn't enough — not if your brand and website are sending the wrong message before you ever get a chance to speak.
You already know your online presence isn't where it needs to be. Maybe it never really fit. Maybe it did once but you've outgrown it. Maybe you've been putting this off because it feels overwhelming, expensive, or both.
that ends here
Refinery Nine exists for exactly this moment
With two decades of design experience and zero tolerance for generic, we build brands and websites that actually work — strategically crafted, professionally executed, and built to grow with you.
No cookie cutter. No endless back and forth. No waking up six months from now still embarrassed to hand out your business card.
Just a brand that finally looks like the business you've worked this hard to build.
Why work with Refinery Nine?
You're working directly with Maria — a Hudson Valley-based designer with 22 years of experience building brands that hold attention, build trust, and convert browsers into buyers.
Every project is approached with the same level of intention — whether you're investing a small budget or a large one. Your brand matters. Your business matters. And the work reflects that.
Because you're not hiring a template factory or a design mill that passes your project off to a junior contractor.
We don’t do
bland.
We do bold

The Process
Here's how it works
Step 1 — Inquire
Fill out the inquiry form and tell us a little about your project. No commitment required — just a conversation starter. We'll follow up within 48 hours.
Step 2 — Strategy
Before any design work begins we get clear on your brand, your goals, and your vision. This is where the real work starts — and where most designers skip straight past.
Step 3 — Design
This is where it all comes to life. Depending on your service this could be one focused day, one week, or a full custom project. Either way — you're in good hands.
Step 4 — Launch
Your project is delivered, refined, and ready to go. No loose ends. No "figure it out yourself" handoff. You walk away with everything you need to show up confidently online.
Straightforward process. Zero guesswork. Just results.
Just the FAQ
Availability varies by service. VIP Days and VIP Weeks book out faster than you'd think — and Custom Brand + Website Design is limited to one client per quarter by design. The best move is to inquire early so you're not waiting longer than you need to be. [Check Current Availability →]
How far out are you booked?
Still have questions?
Yes — Website in a Week is exclusively for Refinery Nine templates. This is how we keep the timeline tight and the quality high. Don't have one yet? [Shop the Templates →] and come back ready to launch.
Do I need a Refinery Nine template for Website in a Week?
That's exactly what the quiz is for. [Take the Services Quiz →] and we'll point you in the right direction. Or if you'd rather just talk it through [Book a Free Discovery Call →] — no pressure, no pitch.
What if I'm not sure which service is right for me?
Yes — because good design shouldn't require emptying your savings account. Payment plans are available for Website in a Week and Custom Brand + Website Design. Details are outlined on each individual service page.
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely. We're rooted in the Hudson Valley but built for everywhere. All services are offered virtually so location is never a barrier.
Do you work with clients outside of the Hudson Valley?
Absolutely. A lot of clients start with a template or a VIP Intensive and come back for the full Custom experience when they're ready. We'll be here when that time comes.
Can I upgrade from one service to another?
Two decades of real design experience — not trends chased, not algorithms followed. Every project whether it's a VIP Day or a full custom brand is approached with the same level of strategy and intention. You're not a number here. You're the only client we're focused on.
What makes Refinery Nine different from other designers?
Ready to stop putting it off?
You've been thinking about this long enough. Your brand deserves better and you already know it. The only question left is — which version of better is right for you right now?
