Brand Kit, Logo Refinement & Carrd Landing Page Design for Community Makerspace

I am launching Cville Makers, an early-stage community makerspace concept in Clarksville, Tennessee. The project will focus on woodworking, fiber arts, hands-on classes, creative skill-building, and community connection. I already own the domain cvillemakers.space and have begun using Carrd for a simple landing page. I am looking for a thoughtful, detail-oriented designer who can help me turn my rough ideas into a cohesive, professional, community-friendly brand and a polished one-page Carrd website. This is a lean, early-stage project - NOT a request for a full agency-style rebrand or a custom-coded website. What I Need 1. Logo Refinement I have a general direction for the Cville Makers name, brand feel, and colors, but I need help refining it into a polished logo system. I have attached my initial idea for the logo as a starting point. Please provide: Primary logo Horizontal and stacked logo variations Simple icon, badge, or logo mark for social-media profiles Black-and-white version Files suitable for web, print (stickers, magnets), flyers, and social media Editable/vector files if available, plus PNG and SVG exports 2. Mini Brand Kit I would like a simple, usable brand kit that helps me create consistent materials myself after the project is complete. Please include: Final color palette; current direction is deep green, warm brown, cream, charcoal, and possibly a muted rust or gold accent, but I am very open to other options. Font recommendations for headings and body text Basic logo-use guidance One-page brand/style guide in PDF or Canva format A warm, practical, welcoming visual direction—not overly corporate and not overly “crafty” 3. One-Page Carrd Website I am already using Carrd and want the finished site designed and built there. I am NOT looking for custom coding or a full multi-page website at this time. The one-page site should be: Mobile-friendly Clean, easy to navigate, and easy for me to update later Connected to my existing domain: cvillemakers.space Designed to collect interest and build momentum before we have a physical location Expected sections: Hero section with Cville Makers name, logo, and short message Brief “What is Cville Makers?” section Proposed offerings: woodworking, fiber arts, classes, workshops, events, and shared creative space Interest-form call to action; form may be embedded or linked Upcoming community gathering / event section Contact or project email section 4. Social Templates - I would also like 2–3 editable Canva templates for: A general “coming soon” or project introduction post A community gathering announcement A “join the interest list” post Brand Direction Cville Makers should feel: Community-centered Grounded and welcoming Practical and creative Accessible to beginners and experienced makers Credible enough for future partners, funders, and lenders Tagline: Create. Learn. Connect. Deliverables Final logo package, including editable/source files where available Mini brand kit/style guide Completed and publishable one-page Carrd website Clear handoff instructions so I can make basic edits later Editable Canva social-media templates Budget Fixed-price budget: $650–$800, depending on portfolio quality, relevant experience, and the proposed scope. Please break out your estimate for: Logo refinement and brand kit Carrd website design and build Optional Canva templates Timeline I would like to begin soon and ideally complete the project within 2–3 weeks, though I am open to discussing a realistic timeline. Ideal Freelancer I am especially interested in someone with experience designing for: Community organizations Mission-driven small businesses Creative spaces, arts organizations, education, or nonprofits Simple, effective one-page websites and landing pages Carrd sites specifically Please share 2–3 relevant examples of: Brand/logo work Landing pages or Carrd sites I value clear communication, collaborative feedback, practical recommendations, and design that I can continue using independently as the project grows.
