Done-For-You Website Designers

Nay Stevens
Nay Stevens
Platform: Wordpress
Colorful, versatile, and savvy about using design to highlight copy is how I’d describe Nay’s websites. Her secret talent is infusing her client’s websites with the kind of warmth you usually only get from a hot cup of cocoa by a roaring fire. She might just be the Queen of Cozy.

Anika Samples
Platforms: Squarespace & Wordpress
Platform: Squarespace
Clarity + Brand Strategy + Design is the intersection where you’ll find Anika. You’ll want to hire her before you hire me (or any other copywriter) so you get all of the elements of your brand aligned before we put words to it! And her design style is downright magical, yet modern.

Rebecca Tracey.
Uncage Your Business is my favorite program for new(er) coaches and service-based solopreneurs. Becca’s emphasis on client research is indispensable for messaging, copy and offer creation. I’m also the official UYB copy coach, so you get templates I wrote especially for UYB, and a group call with me once a month. Great for DIYers who need a bit of structure and accountability.

Gemma Gilbert.
Gemma’s Amplify program helps experienced entrepreneurs go from 1:1 to creating group programs that actually have what it takes to gain traction. If you’re looking at scaling your business with an evergreen group program, this is a fabulous course.
Jessie May Kezele.
For more experienced “fempreneurs”, Jessie May offers archetypal branding guidance and design support that is truly business-enlightening. I’ve worked with Jessie May with many clients and I recommend her to anyone who’s struggling to figure out the essence of their brand.
I love these humans so much
Tad Hagrave.
Marketing for Hippies offers some of the best guidance around niching and point-of-view (ie. messaging) I’ve found. Tad’s approach informs a lot of my work and I recommend his videos, ebooks and membership to everyone.

Working on improving your content, need help with productivity, and want to do both in the most authentic, loving way possible? I can’t recommend George’s courses, ebooks, videos and Instagram enough (his content is inspiring).

She offers limited 1:1 coaching, a fantastic 12-month Mastermind, and low-cost online workshops on a range of business topics. I’ve been working with her since 2020. You definitely want to sign up for her newsletter (trust me).
