What 4 things should you look for in a good website design?
Take it from me, a professional website designer, sometimes bad websites happen to good businesses!
In fact, I witness it on the regular.
-
A lot of my rebrand clients have wonderful businesses!
-
I mean, they're 6-figure earners, with amazing reviews, and consistent bookings. But if you came across their website and online presence BEFORE experiencing their work, you'd NEVER guess it!
-
Listen, this CANNOT continue! As a fellow , I want to see ALL my colleagues taking advantage of the opportunities available when you have a STRONG online presence.
-
In this post, I hope to shed some light on exactly what you need to have a good website.
-
I share with you a non-techy and super simple 4-part formula for having a GOOD website design. Read the post below to learn what's REALLY necessary for a high-converting online home, that you'll actually WANT to share :-).

The WordPress for Business Ultimate Guide: 10 Tips for Getting Started
It's the oldest platform for building a full website, but does that make it the best option?
-
I'm talking about WordPress on the blog this week and sharing everything you need to know about getting started and how to know if it's the platform for your business.
-
I share the pros, cons, and my own first-hand experience building dozens of websites on the platform.
-
If your website is currently on WordPress and you can't seem to put your finger on why it's not working for you, this post may even provide some clarity!

Are you confident that your website is working hard behind the scenes to get your clients?
•
If not, let's change that!
•
Get my free Conversion-Focused Website Checklist and see how your current website is REALLY performing. I tell you the only 5 pages service providers need on their website (yes, JUST 5!), what needs to be on them, and how to get more conversions (aka leads or subscribers to your email list) in a focused way.
•
Too many websites are all over the place, this checklist helps you regain focus and put it on what really is the standard for a successful website--how well it's getting you results!

Don't wait 3 months for the designs you need to promote your business TODAY!
•
Book me for a VIP Day and we'll handle it in 24 hours, 😎.
•
Now, I know what you're thinking. You'll handle WHAT in 24 hours, not a whole brand?!
•
And you'd be RIGHT, 🤣lol! I save the whole brand design offer for my 2 Weeks 2 Elevate service (more on that later).
•
But I CAN do several things that will help elevate your brand in 24 hours.
•
After working with and engaging with many I realized that so many of them want to work with a designer without having to jump through so many hoops. They wanted quicker turnarounds. They wanted something they can take and run with to make money from their brand, like, right now...not 6 months from now 😑.
•
This type of demand, I think, is a direct reflection of:
📌 So many new businesses born in 2020 & 2021
📌 The great resignation
📌 And people taking their side hustles, full-time
•
I call them 'modern entrepreneurs', and I reformatted my offers to bring them modern branding solutions. And can I just tell you, the people are loving it! And honestly, so am I 😊.
•
Let's skip to the good stuff. Here's what I can do for your business in a day.
•
A Mini Identity.
- A lot of entrepreneurs start a business and invest in just a logo. This isn't a bad thing, but when it's time to build brand awareness (people recognizing your business amongst the competition) and raise your prices, leveraging a brand identity is going to serve you SO much better.

- A brand identity is a collection of all the other things that your brand needs, besides a logo, to become recognizable & build more trust.

- In a VIP Design Day, we can do a brand identity...but in a mini format. Meaning the deliverables are fewer but still valuable and stronger than having just a logo ✅.
•
A Content Knockout.
- If you're inconsistent with posting content, don't have a team to do it for you, or don't feel like Googling design tips to do it yourself, I can create content for your brand to post to social media. A day of batching all your LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest posts will free up time for you to focus on what you do best😉.

- Or if you have an upcoming launch for a digital product or course, we can knock out all the lead magnet PDFs, promo graphics, etc., so you can work solely on your offer💸.
•
Collateral Suite.
•
Need branded templates that you can use over and over again to promote your services or enhance your client experience? Things like proposal templates, pitch decks, a services guide, media kits, speaker topic sheets, or print-ready stationery? Let's get it done in a day!
•
I have 2 spots coming up, so if this sounds like something you're interested in, visit https://bit.ly/3zUjQmJ to learn more!

Happy 2022 🥳!
-
Whoa, not me sending you warm wishes, 11 days after the fact, lol?
Oh, but yes, I am, friend 😎, Happy New Year to you.
-
If you've been following me a while, you'll know I take December off from creating content and being on social media in general. Decluttering your digital space and overall mental space is SO key, as an online business owner.
-
But while I was out, I gained some new friends on here, so let me give you a quick, rapid-fire welcome, in a random fashion that only I would do 😫, lol🤨.
-
I'm Alexis, brand and web designer behind Lex Creative Studios👋🏽.
-
I build authentic brands and websites for service providers and industry experts, that are full of professionalism, without skimping on the personality. I believe the most successful brands can communicate both, and I help entrepreneurs do just that ✅.
-
I LOVE:
Art galleries, coffee, floor-to-ceiling windows, mental health and wellness, modern decor, cameras, design, history, did I say coffee?...and documentaries.
-
I ONCE:
✏️ Took on a total stranger as a roommate in New York City because their Craiglist profile seemed legit 🤷🏾‍♀️...times have definitely changed, lol!
✏️ Splashed around in the legendary pink lake, Lake Retba, off the Cap Vert peninsula of Senegal...it was everything
✏️ Ended up on a commercial about chocolate that aired all over Europe, 100% randomly and NOT on purpose...long story 🤦🏽‍♀️.
-
I OFTEN:
📌 Send people random videos about how much I miss them, after being a literal ghost for months...😫, I'm your classic introvert, and those who love me, are alright with this...😊.
📌 Wait MONTHS to watch movies or shows that everyone is talking about...Yes, Squid Games was everything you said it'd be 😊.
📌 Light way too many candles, run the diffuser, AND turn on the wax warmers, because...well...vibes 😎.

Leave me in the comments 1 random thing about yourself if you're new to my page, would love to hear from you!

Constant reminder to myself: We don't get credit for what we 'meant to do.' Yikes! 🤭.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Sprinkle liberally, where needed, i.e., business, meal plan, goals, skincare routine, etc., lol!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a service provider, who works with other service providers, I can confirm the never ending to do lists, meetings to schedule, and running task list of things we, well...' mean to do', not right now, but not tomorrow, 🤨either...but at some point, though 🙁.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By the time get to me, that list is a mile long, and the top is usually something concerning their brand visuals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They wince at missed opportunities to make a good first impression when someone reported to them, "I tried to book you on your website, BUT...or "Are you still in business, I couldn't tell, because...😒"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, of COURSE, my clients MEANT to update their website and MEANT to take down that beginner logo from 5 years ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But...those tasks continued to live on the list of things to 'get to...not right now, but not tomorrow, 🤨either...but at some point, though 🙁.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been shortening the list in this season and *Future's voice*, 'Life's good," lol😅! ​⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I focus on 3 tasks daily and use things like Toggl to track how long it takes me to do something ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
hack.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the reasons I created my Design Day last year (VIP Day, where I knock out a few design tasks on your running list of things to 'get to') was to help my clients get on track as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know, fewer things on the list=less guilt about said list never ending=less rounds on the hamster wheel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
◽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know you feel me🙋🏽‍♀️.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tell in the comments how you're managing your to do lists as a

I preach the benefits of having a personal brand because I hear the challenges of NOT having 1 so often!
▫️
We know that focus is key for your startup or small business. You should be talking to a targeted audience, about their targeted needs, right? That's the quickest way to see progress and continue growing.
▫️
But what about all the OTHER stuff you're good at.
▫️
All the things you want to share that can help spread your life's "big mission" or help you have the MOST impact.
▫️
That's the beauty of a personal brand. It gives you a "home base" to store all your gifts, talents, expertise, and the biggest vision for your life.
▫️
And if that isn't awesome enough, a personal brand also helps you make more money! Well, more money in the bank ALWAYS helps the vision, am I right, lol?
▫️
Scroll through to see 5 simple streams that can be added to your revenue just from having a personal brand.

Tell me in the comments which stream is most attractive to you right NOW in business?

The inspiration to post consistently online often comes from being empowered by your branding.
✔️
That's always my goal when leading a design project for our clients.
✔️
I want to give you strategically beautiful design, but also, empower you to consistently create your own after we wrap up.

Comment below if you agree that the inspiration to post consistently comes easily when the branding is well done and well-aligned!

So, I know you've got your small business branding and website in place, but what about your personal brand?
◽
Do you have your personal brand in place? Did you even consider having a personal brand or have you been KNEEE-DEEP in the work of branding your startup/small business for so long, you left it on the back-burner?!
◽
We got to work on some AMAZING personal brand developments this year, for some successful business owners who were ready to create their legacy, aka, their PERSONAL, brand!
◽
This is the kind of brand that goes beyond your small businesses. It's not centered around the products or services you sell in your startup.
◽
A personal brand is a brand and website that embody a combination of your natural style, beliefs, personality, and skills. It's something that will last BEYOND whatever businesses you started 10 years ago, or the ones you'll create 10 years from now.
◽
It's been SO fun to help these carve out space for themselves, not their , but THEMSELVES.
◽
A personal brand aligned with THEIR values, their personality, and their unique gifts. We'll be sharing those launches soon!
◽
Honestly, personal brands are the way to go if you've been running a successful business for years and now want to invest in cultivating a brand that will serve as your legacy, open up even more revenue streams, and build a community of followers who share the same interests and personal values that you do.
