your vip get sh!t done day

That ‘to-do list’ for your website? Consider it done.

If you’ve outgrown your website, your offers or styling are out of date or you just need some DIY guidance, a Design Day is your solution.

A Design Day may be right for you if…

  • You want some 1:1 time to strategize together

    Book a 1 HR strategy call or half day and gain professional insights into the next steps of your DIY website, create an action plan and access 1:1 tutorials.

    Use this as needed with ‘done with you’ support (available virtually or in person within Waterloo Region).

  • It feels like something is...missing

    You deserve to love your website.

    If you’ve seen layouts, animations or cool effects on Squarespace you want to implement, use my coding brain instead.

  • Your time is valuable

    Outsource the updates to your blogs, events, portfolios, or imagery to keep your website current. A current website is an effective one.

  • You lack tech & SEO experience

    SEO-what? Ensure your website is set up for success on the backend before you launch or take care of some layout issues you’re infinitely tweaking.
