No fluff here – let’s dive straight into my proven formula for building a high-converting website powerhouse.

During an initial consultation with a prospective client, I ask questions so I can determine exactly what they need. Can we create what they want by customizing a Showit template or do they need a site built completely from scratch?

There's something special about a blank page, right?

A custom website radiates your distinct personality and business identity. We don't do cookie-cutter; we do you. And it's fun to really stretch those creative muscles. 💪🏻

If you're like most of my clients, you have no idea whether you need a custom site or something else. And that's what I'm here for. I love minimizing the number of decisions a client has to make and I do my best work when a client trusts me just to "do my thing."

Send me a DM or book a free consultation call to get started!

When I first started designing websites, I used the Squarespace platform. Everything has its pros and cons and all the various website platforms are no exception. I still do some sites on Squarespace, but for the most part I've completely made the switch over to Showit.

AND I LOVE IT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SHOWIT.

Can I write code so a site will have some extra special element or a neat animation? Yes. But why deal with code if you don't have to? That's what Showit gives you. It's all drag and drop, without the struggle. And that means you can start from scratch OR from a Showit template and end up with a completely unique site. No cookie cutter - just you and your style.

So, for all of 2024, every client site I've created has been on Showit. Most have been done with templates - there are some incredible template shops out there. I send my client some links to my favorite shops, they find a template they love, we buy it and then I get to work customizing it.

After working with so many different templates, I realized I wanted to make my own, so that's what I've been working on in between client work! I have one in the shop currently - the QUINN - and she's a beaut Clark. Next up is SAWYER, which will be geared towards fitness and health professionals.

My 3-year goal is to have the Aviary Lab Template Shop filled with about 12-15 templates that will cover the website needs of any type of entrepreneur.

Go check out QUINN and lmk what you think!

Does anyone want to be a template tester?? I'm looking for 2! DM me for a special code to get over 60% off the regular template price. You'll end up with your own site, plus help shape the final product with your inputs!

What is Aviary Lab? Doing a little re-introduction post here since it's been a little while.

In 2019, I decided to teach myself how to build websites. I had always loved making things happen in Illustrator and anything techy on my computer, especially problem-solving type tasks. I had a friend who asked me to partner with her in putting on a goal-setting workshop. We developed our content and decided to produce a workbook for the attendees. I was all over that workbook. I went to work in Canva and produced this beautiful thing and loved every minute of it. When it came time to do the actual workshop, I didn’t want to. I wanted to design more stuff.

It didn’t click at first–that I could actually build a business doing what I loved. I said to myself, “I love figuring out tech and making things work together, sure would be nice to have a job doing this.” But I had no degree, still had a lot to learn, who would hire me and what even is this job I want to do?

But then it became so obvious. I would teach myself web design and open my own business. And that’s exactly what I did. I invested in myself, worked through a few courses and everything came so naturally and easy. I was in my zone of genius – still am, and it feels good.

Check out my website and the blog for the full story of how my former careers as a chemist and nurse turned into a business named "bird lab." I love sharing all about this grand experiment and all the women I'm bringing along with me... https://aviarylab.com/what-is-aviary-lab/

🤓 Maybe I'm weird, but I love learning about other people's morning routines. I also love how you can just wake up and decide you're going to go about things differently that day - how refreshing is that?!

🫠 I felt like I was getting in an unproductive space with my mornings. The dogs would wake us up around 6am and I would get up, make some tea, then climb back in bed and get on my phone. I'd also do my devotions and journal, check email/texts, play a few games on my phone. But before I knew it, an hour or two had flown by and I did not like how that was making me feel.

⏰ So, what have I changed?

📋 I don't get back in bed once I'm awake and initially up. I give myself a time deadline for when I'm going to take Theo and Chippy on a walk. And then I make my tea, do most of those same activities, but while sitting at the kitchen table instead. I also go ahead and put on my workout clothes so I'm ready to go walk the dogs.

👆🏻 One more thing.... my brain works SO much better earlier in the morning and I want to take advantage of that for work. Then I feel much better about calling it a day around 3:30 or 4 because I'm more efficient.

I'd love to hear what your morning routine is like if you're up for sharing! 👇

Pinterest has become a powerhouse for driving traffic, promoting blogs, and boosting sales. With more than 400 million monthly active users, Pinterest isn’t just a platform for recipes and travel; it’s a goldmine for those in creative industries, particularly in the world of website design.

As a 51 year old, you would think I would shy away from emerging platforms that promise to change the way we see business as we know it. Instead, I enjoy teaching myself new skills and think constant innovation is what makes this entrepreneurship world so special.

Spending hours at the skill lab is not everyone’s cup of tea, though! Which is why I taught myself everything YOU need to know about Pinterest and how to leverage it to up-scale your business. And yes, I’ll be spilling the tea for FREE in our my most recent blog.

Thank me later. https://aviarylab.com/pinterest-101-tackle-pinterest-without-the-added-stress/

This month I have a few new clients I'm going to introduce you to - it's so fun for me to show off their businesses and their WEBSITES! 😉🤓

My good friends recently purchased a local thrift shop. They revamped the inventory, got socials up and running, moved locations into the thriving downtown area of Arroyo Grande, CA and reached out to me for a website.

It's such a gift to me to be trusted to bring someone's website vision to life. This one was fun because I got to meet with them in person quite a bit, go shopping in the store and design a really bold site to match the personality of the store and staff.

If you're ever in the area, make sure to stop in The Haven in AG. And let me know what you think of the site!

I'm just going to fess up that I loathe Google Analytics.

I love the possibilities with it - knowing how many website visitors you have, what pages they're interacting with, where they're spending time, what they're glazing over.

But there's nothing simple about it. It is a BLACK HOLE of data. IMO it's too overwhelming for what the average business owner has the time or capability for - and that black of hole of data isn't what they need to make decisions about the effectiveness of their website.

Most people have heard of Google Analytics and just figure they need to use it. But I have something better.......

Mouseflow.

And the name pretty much sums it up - with this platform you are able to see the flow of a user's mouse.

It provides all the same data as GA, but in a way that is incredibly user-friendly and when you first watch a recording that shows a viewer's journey on your site, you will be completely astonished. I promise.

𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌 💡 I did a new automation for a client last week and learned a new trick in the process. I can automate leads coming into a Facebook group and make them show up on a spreadsheet! Once there they go into an email marketing system and get tagged and automatically sent an email! How cool is that! Definitely makes your job easier! Interested in setting this up for your business? Be sure to reach out! 📧

A little peek into my downtown office where I carry out all my nerdery. At least when I'm not distracted by all the people walking around and the VIEW. If I'm designing your website, this is where I do most of the work--I love working on that big screen. 🤓 And yes, as Chris Lanier likes to mention whenever he's here--I need to clean my window. I just don't want to fall out!
