Hi I'm Chanel, and I'm here to help get your website off struggle street

Let me guess: You've dived into setting up your website, only to hit a wall with a template that feels more like a straitjacket than a suit tailored for your brand. It's not your fault—it's a sign you've been trying to fit your unique brand into a ‘one-size-fits-all’ box.

But with so.many. templates on the market, it's easy to fall for a template that promises the world but delivers a generic experience. I don’t want you to settle for a template that ends up abandoned, gathering virtual dust because the thought of tackling another round of frustrating tweaks is just too much.

At Vanilla + Oak, we're breaking the mold with templates designed to feel like they were crafted just for you, offering that bespoke feel without the custom design price tag.

Finding a solution to template woes

LEARN ABOUT OUR WHY

When I started doing template customizations. I felt a bit like being a chef in someone else's kitchen—every tool and ingredient was there, but nothing felt quite right. The big 'aha' was realizing that while templates are supposed to make life easier, often they end up doing the opposite. Universal "one-size-fits-all-business" templates meant blocky and basic designs, and lost their luster the moment you tried to make them your own.

That sparked a little fire under me to do things differently. I wanted to create templates that felt like they were made just for you, without having to drain your bank account for something completely custom.

So, I rolled up my sleeves to create templates that photographers would actually enjoy using. Now, my mission is to save you from the endless tweak trap, freeing up your time to focus on what really lights you up.

“I feel proud and confident about my new beautiful brand and website!”

Chanel will make sure you get what you dream of. She is a great communicator, listener, and is very effecient at what she does. I felt she was perfectly in sync with my mental images and ideas. You will not regret the value in which you gain working with her."

“It was the easiest, most organized process for hiring a designer to build my website.”

Working with Chanel helped make me feel a lot more clear, organized, excited, and motivated about my growing private practice. The homework before hand also pushed me to do all of the leg work with the accountability I needed. That solved the procrastination problem for me and allowed me to do a deep dive into building the brand + website.

Chanel did an incredible job of directing the process and understanding what I was trying to communicate. It was so exciting getting to see things come to life and Chanel does a fantastic job of understanding what you want and need.

 â€œAbsolutely worth the investment to see your brand come to life.”

“Chanel used her expertise and skills to translate my ideas into a vision.”

My favourite part was knowing that I could always depend on Chanel. That she would listen, and understand. It's not that frequent to come across people who are totally dependable and punctual as well as sensitive and understanding, but I think this is exactly who she is.
