Today marks 6 years since Awaken, well, awakend 😍

It’s hard to believe so much time has passed when it feels like none has passed at all. In honor of Awaken’s 6th birthday I worked with Rosa Seidenwar to create an awesome stop motion that captures exactly what we do in 20 seconds. 🤩

Plus, no birthday is complete without a lessons-learned list.

Here are the 6 lessons that have shaped us over the years:

1. Always listen (but really listen)

Every client has a unique vision for their dream site - step back and avoid creating something that YOU think will look good.

2. Be opinionated (nicely though 😉)

Our team comes with plenty of experience, we know what works and what doesn’t and we’re not shy about directing our clients towards the best possible outcome for their site.

3. Offer an 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙮 good client experience.

Anyone who’s worked with Awaken knows how important this is to us. We pride ourselves on stellar customer service…and beautiful websites!

4. Never stop learning.

Whether it's soaking in designs daily, listening to business audiobooks, or investing in a business coach - our growth mindset continues to propel us forward.

5. Learn to pivot.

It’s not easy to run a business. Be open and flexible to realizing what works and what doesn’t.

6. Have fun!

I truly love what I do, and this is mostly because of our amazing clients who make work feel like no work at all.

Growing Awaken has been a wild and awesome adventure.

Here’s to another incredible 6 years 🥂

People usually inquire with us when they’re ready to level up.
I guess it’s no surprise considering our website starts with that exact promise!

When I first hop on a call I truly find myself meeting clients at such a pivotal moment of their business… where the launch of a new website will change everything for them.

A website transforms them into:
✨ a “real” business
✨ an agency
✨ an expert who can command premium prices

and the list goes on.

These calls are always so fascinating to me and I leave excited at the opportunity to move them one stop closer to their goals.

The recent launch for Elisheva Hudson for her business Hudson Films was just another example.

We’re grateful to have an impressive list of ambitious business owners who invest in themselves and are ready to take the world by storm.

And we’ve no doubt that’s exactly what her beautiful website will do.

✨ Incredible Custom Website Launch Alert!

When Rachel, the founder of Equilibrio Balance reached out to us to design a new custom website for her business, I was so happy to have the opportunity to work with another inspiring business owner this year who fits right into our portfolio of amazing women who are doing big things.

Equilibrio is a leading birth and bodywork center in Israel, with services for pregnant and postpartum women, and training for professionals.

After 10 thought-provoking and challenging weeks, I'm super excited to announce the launch of this beautiful and incredibly essential website.

We put our heads together and came up with some creative ways to house a lot of important content on this multilingual website, and still make it feel clean and minimalistic in design.

This site could not have come together without the incredible group of women who contributed to the project:

SHINE Brand Coaching - The master behind the brand, the copy, and the make it happen queen 👑

vecto.cc - Branding & Web Design - For the beautiful branding that is so spot on ✨

Dani Sarusi Photography - For the gorgeous photos that complete the look of the site to perfection 📸

Smartbizops - For the genius work behind the automations and payments for the site

And of course, our website team who put in SO much to bring this project to life and Holy Moly Creative Studio 🖥️

Rachel, we’re so excited for you and can’t wait to see how you grow and blossom.

You have some important steps ahead of you, but it’s become clear to me that no challenge is too big for you 💪

Okay, okay, I know what you're all waiting for. Take a look here: www.equilibriobalance.com

Starting the new year a bit late (but on a high note!) with this sweet feature on the Wix partners page.

It took us 6 months to re-imagine our brand and launch our new site, and this shout-out feels like the cherry on top 🍒

Now that our rebrand is out of the way (6 months in 2020 felt like 10 years am I right 😂), 2021 is going to be all about building value on social and the blog, and who knows, maybe even developing a course or two!

My longest relationship to date ❣️

It’s been 8 incredible years designing with the Wix platform, being a part of the community, and meeting so many that I can now consider lifelong friends.

I started designing Wix websites even before I founded my business, it was really the driving force that led me on an unconventional path to web design.

For those thinking of trying something new in 2021, hope this post is insightful about why Wix is a great choice for business owners and web designers alike !

NEW Website Refresh! 💫

Your website is your virtual introduction to the world. When you visit your site and imagine that you are a potential client, is it clear from the get-go what your company is all about?

A common disconnect we see between brands and their websites is who they truly are, and how they portray themselves online.

When a client comes to us for a refresh, we make sure to check their existing site to see if we can tell:

✅ Who they are
✅ What (product or services) they offer
✅ How a visitor can take action

Our Refresh with Presh Health (preshhealth.com) transformed a website into an interactive journey showcasing the value of a Holistic Medicine clinic that truly invests in their clients’ wellbeing.

The site is packed with unique elements built with Wix that invite the user to engage with every scroll. We let the visuals do more of the talking by spreading out the text and adding elements that clearly - and concisely - represent the site’s core concepts.

We made sure to feature the benefits of being a member with Presh, and added a log-in portal to streamline online interactions. The cherry on top? A fresh new logo that ties it all together.

If you’re looking to transform your site and take your brand to the next level, DM us for more info.

Starting out, I was making websites for $50. That’s right, $50! I had no idea how much a custom website was worth, and quite frankly, I didn’t care. I had found an outlet that combined 3 of my greatest passions: creativity, strategy, and people.

It all started 8 years ago, right after I graduated from college. That summer, while I was leading a teen trip to Israel, I got connected with an Israeli startup in the food delivery business that was expanding operations to NYC. Within a week of getting the job offer, I flew back to the US, packed my bags and was off to the big apple!

The company was providing restaurants with online ordering capabilities embedded directly into their own sites. My job was to bring restaurants onboard - but I quickly discovered that many restaurants didn’t have websites at all. I took the initiative to get them set up with a website so they could sign up for our technology (I had never made a website at this point).

After a few months working at the company, they partnered with Wix and became an app offered to Wix users through their app market. Through this collaboration, I became deeply embedded in the Wix web design community, a pivotal moment for the direction of my growing business.

In no time, I was consulting small businesses on creating Wix sites, partnering with the Wix Lounge on community marketing projects, and eventually teaching Wix mastermind classes(!!) Soon enough, I was able to go full time with Wix website design.

I realize now that unexpected people and experiences can have a profound effect on the trajectory of your life and your career. But it's not just that, it’s about investing in the things that make you feel good - and having the sheer determination to keep diving when exploring the unknown waters.
