Things I may have overheard Travel Advisors say about their website…

I’m on social media, that’s all I need
My name’s on my host agency’s website (along with their branding & other advisors 👀)
Good news…this is one of the most fun & easiest things to fix in your business — and you get to choose how much help you want with it!

Where Creativity Takes Root
The Birch & Bud Difference
A One Client Experience
I’m not juggling three clients and hoping yours doesn’t get dropped. You’ll always know where things stand, and you won’t be left staring at your inbox because someone else’s deadline came up.
Industry Knowledge
Most designers learn your industry from a client questionnaire. I spent years inside it, long enough to know what the fee conversation costs you and what your clients are actually thinking when they land on your page. It’s why your planning fees aren’t buried three clicks deep.
Custom Code & Strategy
I know Squarespace well enough to go past what the templates do on their own: custom code where it helps, plus SEO and UX principles built into every layout from the start. Your website won’t look like anyone else’s, and the person searching for a river cruise specialist can find you - and then knows where to click next.
A little about me
I’m basically a recovering Travel Advisor
Hey, I’m Lara,
I spent 15+ years as a travel advisor — brick-and-mortar to indie, through every shift the industry went through. I know what it's like to spend hours on a trip someone books with someone else. To have the fee conversation for the hundredth time. To do the kind of work that's invisible to clients until something goes wrong.
When COVID hit, I pivoted to design. And because my Aries energy can't do anything halfway, I went all in — not just learning the tools, but studying why design works the way it does. User psychology, conversion principles, and what makes someone trust a site in the first few seconds.
I ended up with a weird, genuinely useful combination: I know what you're dealing with because I dealt with it, and I know what your clients want because I spent 15 years working with people like them.
That's what I bring to every website I build. Not just the design aesthetic, but the understanding of what it actually needs to do so it’s working towards your big goals.

Your clients say lovely things about you. Mostly in your DMs, where nobody else can see them.
The Travel Advisor Feedback Toolkit gives you the questions to ask after a trip, so the answers turn into testimonials and referrals you can actually use.
Get found by the clients who are already looking for you.
You built the website. You wrote the copy, finally. And you still have no real sense of whether Google knows you exist.
What you need is a handful of specific settings done correctly, and a short list of the right keywords, and that's genuinely most of it.
This is the layer that sits underneath your website copy, the technical and strategic groundwork many skip because it’s never been laid out.
This is for you if:
Your website copy already exists or is in process
You want a clear, ordered checklist instead of scattered advice to get your SEO fundamentals optimized
Bonus if you're on Squarespace: several sections walk through exact settings on the backend
This isn't for you if:
You want someone to implement it for you rather than a guide to work through
