Launching Ask Ms Allison with Startup Street
Few things are more confusing for parents – in regards to their child’s education – than school choice. Allison Oakes saw this problem, and decided to take her lifelong career in education and put it to use in a different way.
Ask Ms Allison guides families through the confusing process of school choice:
- Choose wisely by understanding all available school options.
- Communicate effectively with educators and schools.
- Ensure their child(ren) thrives in an environment where they can reach their full potential.
Allison needed a partner to help get this concept off the ground. A group that was familiar with launching new companies, branding and able to consult on the finer details of how to structure the company.
Startup Consulting
Organizing new ideas into an actionable gameplan is not for the faint of heart. It’s a lot of studying, a lot of organizing and a lot of “let’s head back to the drawing board. That being said, Startup Street was able to take her vision, and develop an amazing three-tiered offer for her company, allowing Ask Ms Allison to help just about anyone that needs it.
- Offer Creation: Three distinct offers, each servicing a unique aspect of school choice.
- Pricing: Through trial and tribulation, the pricing structure was completed.
- Problem/Solution: Startup Street worked with Ms Allison to develop clear messaging throughout the website.

Website Development
The Ask Ms Allison website came out clean, professional and features a kid-friendly feel while still maintaining the overall experience that parents need to make a smart decision.
Streamlined Brand Design
Every element of the website design - every page, from start to finish - utilizes the same look and feel, creating a consistent brand experience throughout the website.
E-book Landing Page
The 2025 Tampa Area School Choice Guide was developed as a landing page within the website, allowing for both direct traffic while being incorporated into the larger scope of the business.
Comparative Analysis
In order to help potential clients make a decision, a comparative analysis was developed on the pricing page, helping to clear up the differences while being designed to match the rest of the website.
Color Palette
Bright and vibrant pastels were used to help drive home a wholesome school-like feeling.
“I accidentally stumbled on Startup Street while driving in Tampa. It is one of the best happy accidents I have ever encountered. Just as I was starting a business, and entrepreneurship being new to me, Jeremy and his team provided me with start up tips and that truly got the ball rolling and then guided me through the steps needed to make a professional launch possible. I am excited about the journey ahead and calling on Jeremy to support my company through its future scale / growth transitions.”

Branding & Logo Design
Ask Ms Allison needed a logo that was fun, approachable, warm and captured the essence of her offer. Startup Street was able to create a logo design that merged the letter A with an apple, thus combining the company name – Ask Ms Allison – with a tried and true element of teaching – giving your teacher an apple.
This logo came out flawless, and the brandmark is able to stand on it’s own as it’s own symbol, when needed.
