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, When you look at Martha Stewart, you see someone who made cooking, homekeeping, and decorating mainstream. When you look at Michael Phelps, you see the world’s most decorated Olympian. When you look at Damon John, you see an A-list CEO and charismatic Shark Tank personality. As I listened to each of those very successful people speak at this year’s Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Summit, it was the reality of their low-lows that really stuck with me. Martha went to prison for...

Hi Reader, October was one for the books! From silver wins to national stages, Hazel and Rachel have been busy creating, connecting, and celebrating.

Hi Reader, The first time our website server had a serious security breach (circa 2012), damage control was a nightmare. I essentially had to manually rebuild every client website. Hours and hours and hours of work… If I hadn’t done that, however, I wouldn’t have accidentally become an expert in website security. I’ve been able to apply everything I learned to every other website project, which means we’ve avoided a ton of threats. While it’s much less of an ordeal to problem-solve nowadays,...
