Enter ➡️ BRAND CLEAN-UP 🧽

Here’s the thing, we all know showing up is the most important thing you can do for your brand.

It’s just SO hard to find your brand groove on your own, and WAY too easy to stay in tinker town forever.

It’s time to stop…

🙇🏼‍♀️ taking all the courses to “fix” your brand woes when really you just need to start showing up

💻 tinkering in Canva forever

🕺🏼 getting too caught up in what you think your audience wants instead of just embracing your own vibe

Life lately ✨

Who doesn’t love a photo dump to get back into the swing of things after being MIA for 2+ months?! 🙃

It’s been a BIG season of transition over here from moving (which involved painting EVERY room INCLUDING the closets which were black for reasons I’ll never know) to redoing my website (still a WIP) to prioritizing my own brand (hello brand photoshoot and new backend system!).

So, consider this my soft launch back into IG while I…

💕 Support the BEST clients through VIP days and brand projects as they launch

💬 Think of retiring my Warp Speed Web service as it currently looks to create custom options for the clients I’ve been loving to work with - reach out now and save before it gets a massive restructure!

📦 (Still) unpack…(help!)

Xoxo, Em

I think hustling as a biz owner has a time and a place where it’s necessary:

✨ During big moments of growth

🚀 During a launch period

👀 When you’re working out the kinks of a new service (it’s okay to not have it all figured out right away!)

But as entrepreneurs, we so often forget it’s okay to ask for help! Here are some of the ways I leverage my community to help me grow:

👉🏻 Weekly meeting with a group of likeminded entrepreneurs

👉🏻 Talking to my family about my biz and not acting like my biz is “just a phase/hobby/side-gig” because it’s not!

👉🏻 Investing in coaches and mentorship platforms (dm me if you want reccos!)

Maybe for you it looks like a super active group chat full of other entrepreneurs sharing funny memes, a Facebook group where no question is a stupid question, outsourcing something to an expert so you can finally launch whatever you’ve been putting off, or even launching your own community group for your collegues/audience!

I recently posted a poll on my stories asking people what they thought about animations and crazy scroll effects on websites. The results were just as I expected them to be as a web strategist + designer:

70% either weren’t a fan, were indifferent, or liked them but only in moderation.

You don't need an uber-unique site as a service provider, non-profit, or content creator (my specialties). What you need is a site that communicates well and shows off what specific solutions you bring with your specific offers.

Easy right? It can be - with the right framework ✨ You can join my brand clean-up challenge at any time to give your brand and website a spruce-up. And if you’re looking for an expert to handle it, I’m currently booking brand and website intensives for September!

Raise your hand if you've caught yourself limiting your potential clients before you even have them... 🙋‍♀️

"I wouldn't be able afford my services so no other solo-preneur can either."

"They know the desired outcome of their project, I need to differentiate myself with a huge deliverables list."

"Selling is icky and no one wants to hear about my services"

What does this have to do with brand + web design? Well, on top of believing in yourself, your services, and future clients, making sure your brand strategy and web content is routed in transformation can greatly impact your brand growth.

PSA 🗣 your website content is just as important as your website design! A pretty website that doesn't draw people into your brand ecosystem isn't going to do much 👀

My web projects don't stop at design and development, I also include what I've named "web strategy" where I take the reigns on your website checklist and coach you in the eyes of what your ideal client needs to see so you can stop stressing simply launch! Here are my fave things to include on coach websites:

💰 Sales Pages - get out of the DM's and spend more time on your brand by using your sales page to answer ALL those questions potential clients might have (bonus points if you have an FAQ).

💌 Lots of CTA's (call-to-actions) to your freebie to get people on your mailing list

📝 Client-focused about page - it's not actually supposed to be all about you 😳

Say goodbye the the stress of the countless marketing/strategy/sales hack freebies sitting in your inbox 👋🏻 My brand clean-up challenge isn’t about adding more to your plate - it’s about using what’s already there and cleaning it up!

I created this because it’s the brand resource I wish I had when I was starting out 💕

Whether it’s a web design project for a non profit, brand strategy for an advocate, or my own services, I’m all about simple organization!

Launching soon (go to my stories to vote for when you want it to launch) - link in bio!

I've been thinking a lot lately about not just WHAT industries I want to work with but also WHO fills my cup and makes me so excited to connect with and serve → heart-led people doing good things for the world 🌎

I've actually been supporting brands like this for a whiiiile (see last slide), but I was lost in the sauce of businessy stuff, trying to be someone I'm not, hiding my sensitive side, and not clearly seeing the ~almost embarrassingly~ OBVIOUS thing connecting all my past clients → heart-led do-gooders building others up 🙌

Let's take you from chaos to cosmos; I'm a big-picture thinker for earthbound practitioners, content creators, and coaches ready to soar. A one-stop-shop where emotions and organization collide to make beautiful things 💥 DM me or use the link in bio to inquire!

Have you ever suddenly learned about a new method for doing something and you can’t believe you ever went so long doing it the old way? Maybe it was in school, learning that you could automate citations on BibMe or right within MS Word. Or that the best way to pick egg shells out is by just wetting your finger first. Whatever it is, the best way to do something is usually MORE simple than what you were doing before.

When we try to bring attention to our offerings, call-to-actions, and ideal clients without a framework, things can get messy 😬 Common design methods and frameworks exist to communicate your offerings in the best way possible.

Nobody should have to guess what you offer. Simplicity is key when it comes to communication. Keep that in mind and take a look at where you’ve been TOO unique in an effort to be designy - websites and pitch decks are a common place 😉 Want more support? We take service pros from chaos to cosmos through communication-driven branding, web, and design. Link in bio to get in touch.

BTW speaking of frameworks, our 6 steps to an engaging collab pitch decks freebie is out now - link in bio!
