IF YOU'RE A NEW (OR NOT-SO-NEW!) ONLINE ENTREPRENEUR WITH A BIG VISION,
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS I CAN HELP YOU
Who am I? I'm Val, and I help women -- often busy, smart, accomplished Moms who are just beginning their 2nd Act -- bring to life the vision for their online business that may have been
locked inside their heads and hearts for a long time.
I also help people bring their existing online businesses to the next level.
​
PERSONAL BRANDING + CUSTOM WIX SITE DESIGN + MARKETING PLAN
We work together to create awesome websites that are completely unique and feel true to them. With some business coaching and a lot of uplift and encouragement mixed in, we create amazing experiences.
If you're ready and motivated to move forward, take a look below at a few ways
I can be your Business Fairy Godmother ;-)
ABOUT OUR PROCESS
I believe strongly in removing barriers. Barriers of uncertainty in our vision, barriers of over-complicating our offering, barriers to building a web presence we actually love (and enjoy playing around with), and barriers to living out the life we envision for ourselves.
​
To that end, I use WiX exclusively to create websites for my clients. The level of creative freedom we can achieve paired with the ease of advanced functionality make WiX unmatched to any other platform I've used in all my years online.
​
I'm not a web designer by trade -- that is to say, I don't come from a design background, but from senior roles in marketing. I just happened to find a phenomenal tool to use, and got good at it.
The advantage you get from working with me is a custom website that connects all the pieces of your bigger puzzle: developing your brand, the technical pieces, the creative/aesthetic of the site itself, and the marketing strategies needed to achieve your goals.
Who This Is For:
​
You've got a great new business or blog idea and you're totally ready to go, or perhaps you're opening up your offline business to the online market. Now begins the overwhelm (branding, website design, copywriting, marketing tactics, oh my!).
​
With the right person guiding you through the online maze, you'll get there much quicker -- and have some fun doing it!

I was overwhelmed by anything technology related, I had created a mental block. Val patiently walked me through step by step, and also explained the different social media platforms to me and suggested meaningful steps that I could take to develop my brand - at a pace that I was comfortable with.
Val is very easy to talk to; she is very good at getting to the essence of what you're trying to say and improving on the idea. Val is a storyteller. She has a talent with words. She took my ideas and wove them into a cohesive and compelling story. She's approachable, a great listener and makes every effort to make your project the truest reflection of yourself.

Who This Is For:
​
You already have a website someplace else, and it falls somewhere on the scale between "I tolerate it" and "I hate it". If you're fed up with your current online presence on another platform, let's start by identifying your pain points and brainstorming how to get them solved.
​
Whether your existing platform wasn't able to live up to your full vision, you've had the same look for a few years and need to revamp your brand, or you're pivoting your offering... You already know what it takes to get everything going and you don't have that kind of time or bandwidth.
I believe Val is passionate about helping people achieve their goals and dreams - your success is her success -
she is THE BEST support system anyone could ask for. She gets just as excited as you (maybe more)
doing annual planning for reaching business goals - she gets animated and her love and passion glows.
She. Is. Amazing.

Which website building platform do you use?I have experience with many website builders, but now work exclusively with WIX.com.
-
Will I be able to update my website myself?Absolutely. This is central to what we do here. The idea is that by the end of our process, you'll be familiar with every part of your website, you'll be coached on how to make the updates you want, and you'll feel confident about where to find any answer you need! You'll be able to control the look and feel of your site. No more developers needed for simple changes! Of course if you decide at some point to make a major overhaul because you're changing your business, the help is always there for you. Please note that we do not offer ongoing webmaster services at this time.
-
How long does it take to create a website?Each package ranges. Every client's needs are different, so every timeline looks a little different. Once the payment is in, we get you on the production calendar. Each client is assigned a 2-week focus period. As long as you get all your photos and content and homework in on time, you should be close to completion after that 2-week period. We will review the project timeline with you at our intake call so you are clear. * Please note that our current production calendar is slower than usual due to the coronavirus lockdown. Thanks for understanding! *
-
Can we make my website an e-commerce site so I can sell my items?Yes, definitely. We get you started, and then hand the reins over to you. We walk you through the Wix store set-up (so you can accept payments, organize your shipping, taxes, etc) and we help list your first few items so you can get the hang of adding and removing items, and manage your own inventory. Please note: at this time that we do not enter all of your product listings for you, nor do we manage your ongoing store-related day-to-day tasks. If you're interested in setting up a store, please reach out to us so we can discuss your needs.
-
Is a custom logo design included in these website packages?Logo design is a process in itself, and is not included in our website packages. Our focus is on developing your vision and then translating it into words, images, and actions to create websites to reflect that vision. If you're interested in logo design, we can match you with a design partner at extra cost.
-
Are there any additional costs?If you don't already own a domain name, we can purchase one for you directly within the Wix ecosystem, which will be charged on your credit card. Your hosting package costs are between you and Wix, depending on your needs. You can view the Wix pricing options here. Everything else mentioned in your package description is included. Note: If you've already bought a domain name at another domain name registrar (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc), that's OK! We can either point it ("redirect it") to your new Wix site or transfer it over to Wix, which we recommend, so all your services are centrally managed.
-
I'm really interested, but feel like I can't move forward until I figure out my business and/or domain name. Help!"If you've been struggling to figure out a name for your business or URL, we have a way to help! Just mention it when we talk. We're confident we can unblock this issue. Food for thought: typically you will want a .com domain name. Why? Unlike .net and .org suffixes, .com has become the default domain extension, and therefore the most memorable. Please note: At this time Wix does not sell or manage .ca domain names, but we're keeping an eye out to see if that changes. Additional info about domain names: If you don't already own a domain name, we can purchase one for you directly within the Wix ecosystem, which will be charged on your credit card. If you've already bought a domain name at another domain name registrar (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc), that's OK! We can either point it ("redirect it") to your new Wix site or transfer the ownership over to Wix, which we recommend, so all your services are centrally managed.
I had no idea how to express what I wanted to do. I dumped all of my ideas on Val and in return she helped me figure out how to express my ideas in a user-friendly way. She took my vision and created a masterpiece of a website: it resonates with who I am. It was hard for me to express it but somehow Val decoded my chaos and created perfection.
After working with Val I have gained so much knowledge in many areas. She told me that she was going to show me how to build a website, and she sure did. I had my doubts about me being able to do it, but she proved me wrong.
She taught me a lot of shortcuts. She helped bring clarity to my vision.
Val was able to help me get crystal clear with my messaging and audience. Once I was clear, she took my vision and brought it to life.
