The garden: the creative side of AKC (Ally Kiel Consulting), for food and drink brands

The garden is where the creativity lives.

I make small websites for food and drink brands, the kind you'd actually want to wander around in: a page for something new, a collab with a brand you love, the holidays, or one really good dinner. Each one sits next to your store and is built around something you already keep an eye on, like reorders, holiday sales or seats filled.

What grows here

Collabs

Partnering with a brand in a totally different category that sells to the same person. I help you find the right one and figure out what you'd make together.

What you get: I find the partner, shape the idea with both of you, make the introduction, and build the page (and the night, if there is one).

Launches

For something new you're putting out, so it gets its own page before it ends up as one more square in your shop.

What you get: a launch page that feels like walking into the product. The story, the people who made it, and every place to buy it.

Seasonal sites

A special corner of your site that changes with your year. (Think gift guides, holiday promos, etc.)

What you get: built once, refreshed each season, so you're not starting from zero every November.

Nights worth booking

A page made for one night: the winemaker dinner, the holiday private dining menu, the chef who's in town for a weekend.

What you get: the invite, the menu, the RSVP, and a recap afterward that guests keep.

Most garden projects are one site, live in about 3 to 4 weeks, starting at $5,000. Collabs start at $8,000, since there's a partner to find first. Event costs are separate.

To keep it growing: one new site or tool a quarter, plus up to 5 hours a month of updates to everything I've built for you. $7,500 a quarter, renewed three months at a time.

The first idea is on me: send a voice note and I'll send back a sketch or something rough you can click.

Seeds I've planted

Nobody hired me for these. They're rooms I made for my own dinners, my friends, and a wine shop I used to work for that just turned twenty.
