My Mission

Clarifying, optimizing and strategizing your message, your call-to-action or the story you want to tell to better connect with your audience—and then developing a website that adapts to its content and its brand to convert site visitors into donors, members or clients.

Why Work With Me?

WORK PROCESS 

We will discuss your content + design needs on our initial consultation call and evaluate your existing site: its content, functionality and user experience. Before that call, I will sign a Non Disclosure Agreement that states that the call is confidential.

We will (re)define your niche and your target audience.

 We will brainstorm and take a deep dive into your mission or your story to strategize your content.

 We will (re)define your brand for maximum impact.

 We will create a clear call-to-action that delivers.

We will audit your existing content.

I will build your site from scratch, redesign your website to make it mobile-friendly or move your existing site to WordPress.  You can choose from three flexible design packages that fit your budget and your needs.

I  will make sure that your website integrates seamlessly with your content flow.

I will create an SEO strategy and a style guide for your new website to keep your brand consistent.

 I will design a mobile- and user-friendly website for you that is unique. No cookie-cutter templates with design elements that drown out your content.

 You will receive a taped screen-sharing training session as well as up to six months of free security updates and backups depending on your design package.

 I will teach you how to update your site on your own going forward.

After the design is done, you can choose from three Peace-of-Mind Site Care Plans to maintain and back up your site.

If you only have a small editorial team, I can help update, research and edit your content and maintain your social media feeds.

And I will have your back—long after our initial design phase is done.

Content

Do you need help with redefining your niche, your mission, your audience or your message? Do you need help with the content of your site or need to perform a content audit? Do you need assistance in researching, writing and editing new content? Do you need help with your content strategy to streamline the optimal content flow and presentation on your site to get your message out? Or do you need to refine your call-to-action? 

For the editorial team who needs an extra hand in updating and refreshing their site, I offer full in-house editorial services, including help with writing, editing and uploading new website content or in maintaining your social media feed(s). I also provide editorial services, including writing, editing, and content input in German.

Development

Maybe you have created your own website already with a simple drag and drop editor—you can test your design skills here. But your site doesn’t convert. Let’s take it to the next level: I offer three WordPress web development packages, depending on the size of site you’ll need, the amount of content you have and the scope of your project. And with my editorial assistance and clearly-defined content strategy, we’ll amplify your message or the story you want to tell to convert your site visitors into new members, donors or clients.

Maybe you’re planning your first basic WordPress site and don’t yet have a domain name or a hosting company. Or you are a personal brand or nonprofit that wants to redesign an existing content-heavy WordPress site or you need to perform a design audit across platforms. Or maybe you have decided to move your static self-hosted HTML-based website to WordPress or have a Squarespace or Wix site that is outdated and that your business has outgrown. 

Details →

Site Care

Do you have a WordPress site but lack the time or the staff to regularly back it up, install and update plugins, keep your site’s theme updated and perform malware and security checks? My three maintenance plans give you peace of mind, without the added work.

I’ve got your back as your off-site admin to prevent downtime and technical headaches and answer all your questions.
