Alright friend, be honest with me here… have you ever told a potential client “please don’t look at my website, it’s ugly 🫣”
The amount of times I have heard someone say variations of this or “I feel like I can’t market myself because I have nowhere to send people” is way too many to count.
And I get it! You’re short on time as a solopreneur and you can’t spend hours and hours researching how to do XYZ on (website platform).
But here’s the good news: 🎉
I may be a website designer, but I LOVE a go-getter entrepreneur who takes messy action and publishes the thing they need to get into the world. YOU CAN ALWAYS UPGRADE/ UPDATE IT LATER!
Here’s how to create your first website based on lessons I’ve learned from designing over 80 websites for small businesses:
Don’t skip this step! This is what will help you stand out from the crowd AND grow your know, like, trust factor!
Get on Pinterest and pin things your ideal client loves. Then pin things that inspire you (if you are your brand). Next, notice the consistencies in color, layout and fonts. Put this into a moodboard on Canva!

Okay first of all, if you don’t have a website, I suggest Squarespace. It is the easiest platform; trust me, I am 50/50 with recommending Squarespace or Showit, but if you’re looking for EASE and QUICKNESS, choose Squarespace.
NOTE: There are approximately 1 million templates and it can be SUPER overwhelming to choose. Make sure you find one that was CREATED to convert and has tutorials alongside it for a seamless website creation process.
Use Ubersuggest and find 2 keyword phrases with a volume above 100 and a SEO Difficulty between 15-35. Add those phrases to your page title, meta description, and images.
Whether you have a website you love or not, I share more about user experience and SEO in my free training. ↓

❓“I have no idea where to start with my website.”
😭“I know I need a website but I just can’t fork out $4k.”
🖥️“I don’t have the time to DIY a website.”
⬆️ You’re definitely not alone!!
Here’s what a website has given me:
✔️Bandwidth to create other products while getting clients organically (aka SEO)
✔️ People booking me and saying “I feel like I know you” just off my website
✔️ Ability to take a 4 month maternity leave while still making affiliate income
✔️ A 10-20 hour work week
✔️ Not have to be consistent on Instagram
And I was in your shoes. I started off as a photographer/ social media manager/ logo designer with no experience in Squarespace or Showit.
But by learning the platform I was able:
1. Convey WHO I WAS, properly attracting ideal clients
2. Update my website when I created new offerings
3. Create helpful content for my audience that lives on forever and gets me consistent traffic
You gain more TIME when you create a website because you don’t need to be constantly marketing on social media.
Read that again ⬆️
More time.
More flexibility.
More earning potential.
More emotional energy.
^ This is what you get when you create a website that makes sales for you.
Don’t know where to start?
