✨🎉📅 Drio’s January Recap: Shark Tank Buzz, Ohana Launch + IWD Soirée Ahead
|
Hi Reader, January was a busy (and exciting) start to 2026 for the Drio team. Full of meaningful collaborations, founder support, and projects we’re proud to put our name on. Below is a quick recap of what we’ve been up to, plus a look ahead at a big moment on the calendar: Monument Women’s Creative Alliance’s 4th Annual International Women’s Day Soirée on March 5 at Towson University. ✨ Client Spotlight: Ohana Growth Partners Website RedesignWe had the pleasure of collaborating with Coven, a local creative agency, on the redesign and development of the Ohana Growth Partners website. Our team worked closely together to bring Ohana’s vision to life through a modern, on-brand website that clearly communicates who they are and what they stand for. From the beginning, the focus was on creating a digital presence that felt authentic, approachable, and reflective of the impact Ohana has across its portfolio. The site was built on WordPress with a fully custom, responsive design that prioritizes clarity, ease of use, and flexibility for future growth. Thoughtful page layouts, intuitive navigation, and key integrations were implemented to ensure the site supports multiple audiences while remaining simple and polished. The final result is a website that feels confident, intentional, and aligned with Ohana Growth Partners' mission. We loved partnering with Coven on this project and contributing to a collaborative process that resulted in a site Ohana can be proud to share.

Hi! I'm Rachel, the Left Brain of Drio.
Hi Reader, Years ago, Hazel and I realized we would need some help with our content if we wanted to keep it consistent. We’re not interested in showing up in inboxes or on social media every single day, but we do want to have a meaningful presence and stay top of mind. Just like we advise our clients, we want to show up regularly and be loud and proud about what we value as business owners… …without spending hours on our content each week. It’s super important for Hazel and me to minimize the...
Hi Reader, My kids are pretty used to my entrepreneurial ways. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve seen me take a work call in the car or jump into a Zoom Room from our living room. It’s the norm for them. As they get older, they get more curious about the logistics of running our business. Like the other week, I was firing off an email when my oldest son looked over and asked, “So, how many people work for you?” I had just gotten off a call with our project manager. Over the years, he’s...
Hi Reader, Building websites isn’t exactly life or death. Still, the longer we do it, the more I see how far the impact can go. While Hazel and I nibbled on pupusas and soaked up the view of San Salvador last month, we couldn’t help but reflect on that. Time and time again, we’ve seen how a solid website can change a business’s trajectory. Even during tough seasons (*cough* 2025), your website keeps showing up, telling the world who your business is and why it matters. When done right, it...
