WordPress Websites for Authors, Speakers, Small Business and Nonprofits

Do you have a WordPress website, or want one?

If you are ready to blog, or sell products online, or educate readers about your project or business, a WordPress site is perfect for you.

The ability to grow and expand is limitless. Start as simple or as complicated as you need to. Just like a painter’s palette, you have many elements within your business or nonprofit that you need to juggle and piece together before you can effectively “paint the picture” of what you do to your clients and readers.

More Than Meets the Eye

"Wish I had called you earlier! You've saved me massive amounts of time and money, just because you heard my vision and helped me pull all of my creative pieces together into one functioning plan. What a relief! Now I'm excited about my business again. Thanks!"

"It's a pure joy working with Shannon. She is a treasure trove of inspiration, ideas and resources. Somehow she intuitively gets what it is that makes me tick - and while working with her, I am relieved to know that finally someone can help me communicate to my customers in a visual way, what it is that I do and WHY I do it."

""Shannon is a wealth of information and resources. I'm so excited about all of the ideas and concepts that we put together, I can't sleep at night!"

"I never thought I could find so much in one place. Together we have illustrated my book, built a website and created products and a marketing plan that includes state-of-the-art video communication tools. People are wondering what I'm up to because I can't get this silly grin off my face!"

"Oh my gosh! I had no idea there was so much to consider in just putting my business and thoughts on a website! Having Shannon coach me every step of the way, and her sharing ideas and tools to knit everything together has been such a gift to me! What was overwhelming and intimidating has now become fun and exciting. I highly recommend this creative approach that blends coaching and creative services. It would have coast me a fortune to do this differently."

Building a website involves more than just choosing menu pages.

What You Can Expect

Created from Scratch

Together, we will:

Define Your Target Audience: Identify the specific group of people who are seeking guidance in balancing their professional and personal lives.
Choose a Relevant Theme: Select a WordPress theme that reflects the essence of your business or services and is visually appealing to your target audience.
Create Engaging Content: Discuss and create a plan to create compelling content that highlights the importance of assessing the needs of your target market and how it fits with your desired life plan.
Include Services Offered: Clearly outline the services you provide related to your business and/or services and how they can benefit the individuals that you serve.
Integrate Contact Forms: Make it easy for visitors to reach out to you by including contact forms for inquiries or scheduling appointments.
Offer Free Resources: Provide valuable resources such as e-books, blog posts, or webinars that address common challenges they may be facing that you have the solution for.
Optimize for SEO: Ensure that your website is optimized for search engines by using relevant keywords related to your business and/or services.
Include Testimonials: Showcase testimonials from satisfied clients to build credibility and trust with potential customers.
Call-to-Action Buttons: Use clear call-to-action buttons prompting visitors to take the next step, such as scheduling a consultation or signing up for a newsletter.
Mobile-Friendly Design: Your WordPress website will be mobile-friendly. We’ll discuss how this works and what you can expect regarding how your website appears on various devices.

The goal is to create a WordPress website that effectively promotes your business or services and helps you achieve harmony between your business and personal life. (Something that most people forget until it is too late and they are overwhelmed. Always remember that your website can grow with you as your business grows.)

Redesigning an Existing Site

Sometimes updating an existing website is possible if it’s created in WordPress. However, most websites require a complete do-over depending on your needs and goals. We’ll discuss this to determine the best approach.

IN THE MEANTIME, CONSIDER THIS in setting your expectations …

Referring to public websites as a desired layout will be considered, but not copied. The focus is on performance, readability, and SEO optimization. Any reference to features you like or don’t like is to be discussed before the project has begun, not after, and certainly not after it’s been completed.

If an outside webdesign is preferred that is other than what I provide, then I suggest you hire that particular web designer.

Web design is much like artwork. It is intellectual property and has the style of the webmaster who created it. It is illegal to copy artwork or reproduce it.

Once a page has been declared finished, it is checked off the list. Any remaining pages that need to be updated will be either waved by the client, or finished in a timely manner upon hiring my services.

Websites are always evolving and growing – over time. If changes and layout are requested repeatedly, then the project will need to be re-evaluated.

It is assumed that before a website is created, that the client will already have a clear idea of what is to be accomplished with the site, and what the focus will be.

If this is not clear, then it would be best to begin with coaching services first.
