Design & Thrive is a 6-session coaching program, usually completed over 3–4 months, followed by custom brand and website design work.

It’s both. The first six sessions are focused coaching to clarify your voice and strategy. Once complete, we transition into done-for-you design, creating a brand and website that reflect your messaging.

Literally any business owner who is ready for a launch or relaunch that will have them the envy of their colleagues.

The cost of this program does not include a Squarespace membership.  Squarespace has several tiers of pricing, and we require at least the business-level.  You can view the various plans here.

Squarespace is one of the easiest platforms to learn the basics of and doesn’t require you to be a techy person to use. You'll be diving in and making edits and new pages in your sleep without having to worry about accidentally deleting or breaking your entire site. Also, since I'm a Squarespace Circle member, you get 20% off your first year's annual membership.

Also, as opposed to Wordpress, Squarespace comes with a whole lotta plugins and features ALREADY built in. They're also constantly adding more features, value, and partnerships with a slew of other companies.

I always encourage my clients to always e-mail me. If it's a website edit, I can step you through how to make the change. (If it’s an easy one and I have time, I may be able to jump in and show you how to do it because once you’re part of my tribe, you always will be). If it's a more comprehensive request, I charge $75/hour and can approximate how long it will take.

I do not, but the Design & Thrive program is specifically designed to set you up for success in this area. You will ultimately create your own copy as you are the best expert on YOU, but the coaching module was created to provide you with many of the copy points that you will use throughout your site.

For images and photography, Squarespace has partnerships with outside sources for both discounted and free stock photos. I can also review any photography of yourself you already have to see how suitable it would be to use.

If you already have a website or have already purchased your domain name, we can either just connect it to Squarespace, or transfer it over completely. If you are moving to Squarespace from WordPress, we can import pages from your WordPress site as long as it’s with WordPress 3.2 or higher. There are some limitations on what can be imported, which we can discuss on our consultation call. I’ve yet to run into an issue that cannot be figured out.

Squarespace does an amazing job with their built-in SEO capabilities (like, whoa). This allows many websites to be found early in Google rankings when searching under unique terms such as your business name or your personal name, as long as there are no well-known businesses or figures with the same name, of course. Searching under broader terms, however, will quickly educate you in the longer-term game of SEO, as it takes time, strategy, and effort to break into broader search rankings. I’ll take you through the basics of SEO, though, to help you strategize your long-term SEO goals.

As the scope of a website can vary dramatically, the time commitment and therefore the price does as well. For this reason, I’m not able to provide set pricing here. Once we chat, however, I will be able to forward competitive pricing that reflects the number of pages and complexity of the site, including any custom coding that may be required.
