You do great work and your customers are happy, but your website talks about everything at once, so visitors leave before they understand why they should pick you. The problem is rarely the service. It is the message.
When your message is clear, customers listen. The Telos team makes it clear, then builds it into a site that converts. A StoryBrand site gives you:
StoryBrand is a seven-part brand messaging framework created by Donald Miller, based on the structure of every story that has ever held an audience. The customer is the hero. Your business is the guide. See how the framework turns into a high-converting site in StoryBrand website design.

A StoryBrand Certified Guide is a marketing professional who has completed Donald Miller’s official StoryBrand certification and is listed in the guide directory at StoryBrand.com. Telos Creative founder Arnold Jakobsen is a StoryBrand Certified Guide based in Windsor, Colorado.
A pure StoryBrand engagement (BrandScript, one-liner, and messaging guide, without a website rebuild) typically runs $2,500 to $5,000 one-time over 4 to 6 weeks. A combined branding-and-website engagement runs $7,500 to $15,000 over 8 to 10 weeks, and ongoing messaging consultation is available as a monthly retainer. Telos prefers month-to-month engagements over annual contracts. Every project is scoped to your goals on a free assessment, with a clear, honest price.
Traditional marketing makes the company the hero and lists features. StoryBrand makes the customer the hero and the business the guide, naming the customer problem, offering a clear plan, and showing what success looks like. The result is usually more leads from the same traffic.
No. The framework works the same anywhere and much of the process happens over video calls. That said, Telos is based in Windsor, Colorado and many clients value a local guide who knows Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley.
StoryBrand engagements work best for small businesses that have a real product or service customers already pay for, are doing roughly $250K to $5M in annual revenue, and want a long-term marketing foundation rather than one-off tactics that never compound. If you keep hearing “your website is beautiful, but I am not sure what you actually do,” that is the StoryBrand gap. Telos audited dozens of Northern Colorado small-business websites against the framework; read the Northern Colorado StoryBrand Benchmark for the seven most common gaps.
If your website is not bringing in the leads it should, the message is the place to start. Tell us about your business and the Telos team will be in touch. Prefer to talk it through first? Call (970) 581-1398 or email arnold@teloscreative.com.
