Why you need a website manual


Hi Reader,

Wouldn’t it be weird if your fancy new smartwatch didn’t come with a manual? Or your car or your air fryer?

When you buy something like that, you want to be confident that you’ll get your money’s worth. A big part of that is knowing how the features work.

While you may or may not need the manual right away, when you need it… you really need it.

That’s why we started creating Website Manuals for our clients. When you’re investing in something as important as a new digital home, you should know how to use it to its full potential.

Your Website Manual walks you through all the essentials from account logins to SEO basics and editing content to what all your plugins mean.

It’s your always-on-hand support kit. It’s there so you understand why we built your website a certain way—and how to use that to your advantage going forward. No need to scour the internet for answers that may or may not be accurate.

If you ever need to make a more complicated fix or change, we’re still here to help, of course.

🧠 All website design clients also get access to upkeep and refresh services, plus my brand-new Tech Hours! These support hours are an open time to get my Left Brain on your goals. Bring your website or marketing vision, and I’ll help you connect the techy bits to make it happen. RSVP to Tech Hours here.

The better equipped you are to maintain your website, the harder it works for you.

Let me know if you have any questions!

P.S. We’re booking website projects to start in January! Book a call to talk about your options: Custom Website Design or The 4-Week Website.

Hi Reader, August was a month of evolving, connecting, and looking ahead. From continuing to grow long-term client partnerships and digging into important website privacy updates, to refreshing Office Hours and getting closer to sharing what’s next with WholeSite, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at Drio. Here’s a little peek at what we were working on throughout the month. 🌱 How United Way of Central Maryland’s Website Keeps Evolving We’re highlighting one of our favorite...

Hi Reader, Rachel and I recently went to a presentation for international exchange alumni (because of our Professional Fellows experience). During the event, one of the presenters shared how he’s now working with a peacebuilding organization called Mediators Beyond Borders. You know I’m all about a good analogy, and I absolutely loved the one he referenced. He described peacebuilding as similar to the Japanese art form kintsugi, which is done by repairing broken pottery using a gold substance...

Hi Reader, I don’t usually work late, but when I do, it’s because I’m fully immersed in something, head down, earbuds in. Recently, I was up late working on WholeSite, the AI-assisted website building tool we’re developing. When I finally came home, I asked my husband if he wanted to see what I had been doing. I hadn’t actually told him much about WholeSite yet, so I gave him the spiel. I told him WholeSite will allow entrepreneurs to create a high-quality WordPress website on their own. It...
