If you're a member of the Palm Tree Club, you should have received an email with directions & a link to a questionnaire.
We'll need the questionnaire completed before we can begin setup. Once you have completed the questionnaire, it typically takes us about 2 days to set up your new site or staging site.
If you haven't received the welcome email, reach out to support@daveyandkrista.com.
Once your site is set up, we'll also send over your logo files.

Before you dive into the customization of your website, if you haven’t taken the time to think through your brand, now is a great time to do so.
Plan
We're often asked how we come up with color palettes for brands. Color palettes help begin to set the overall aesthetic for a brand, and thus serve as an important aspect of a brand project.
We’ve all heard that brands are important, but with so much content out there about brands, it can be hard to figure out exactly what a brand is—let alone how to come up with a solid one for your business.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through all of the different aspects of a brand you should consider and give you examples of ways to unite your entire online (and physical) presence to present a cohesive brand that appeals to your ideal client.
03
While we still recommend following the tutorial video that is unique to your template, we have a lot of other resources to help you build the website of your dreams.
Build
If you’re just getting familiar with the Elementor platform, this video is the perfect place to start. In it, Alex walks you through the basic tools of Elementor's website builder.
*Note - you'll always find the most up to date version of this video in the Course.
You should have received access to our WordPress/Elementor setup and installation course. Inside, we’ll share videos and resources for everything from installing your template to optimizing images and planning your content.
