I'm delighted to be able to share my favorite creations with you! Below are some of the blogs, sites, and sales pages I've done recently that I'm most proud of.

Prosperous Coach Blog
Rhonda Hess
prosperouscoachblog.com
Rhonda Hess is one of the premier coaches in the industry. Her business is focused on helping other coaches be successful not just at coaching but in their coaching businesses. Her Prosperous Coach Blog is all about giving people the guidance they need to grow their coaching practice, so clean and professional were important while still reflecting Rhonda's personal style (the autumn colors are her favorites).
UPDATE: Rhonda's site recently won the "2010 Best Coaching Blog" award! Woohoo!

thinktank:men
Michael Van Osch
thinktankmen.com
thinktank:men is a sleek, "killer" site dedicated to helping men in marketing and advertising further their careers but also focus on becoming the men they were meant to be. Since Michael is a professional actor, and speaking engagements are a big part of what he does, he needed a site that was dynamic and stand-out.

Career Strategy Roadmap
Pegotty Cooper
careerstrategyroadmap.com
Pegotty works with Association Leaders and Executives focusing on their career growth. She came to me with a logo that was a strong, visual representation of what she did that we then designed the whole site around.

The Integral Advisor
Kristin Keffeler
integraladvisor.com
Kristin had an existing site and logo with a color scheme that she loved, and maintaining consistency in her branding for her new blog was important to her. The Integral Advisor turned out to be an energetic yet polished, professional site that really reflects who Kristin is and how she shows up with her clients.

Ideal LifeVision
Ann Webb
ideallifevision.com
Ann is a master at helping people identify and realize their soul purpose by helping them find clarity and focus. We brought that to life with a soothing sage palette, splashes of vibrant color, and a crisp design.

The VA Success Coach
Kellie deRuyter
thevasuccesscoach.com
Kellie has a passion for coaching women, and so we wanted her site to be feminine without being girly. The teal color palette and the flourishes were a lot of fun to work with. And Kellie's passion for this project helped make it a big success.

The Coach's Power Path
Sales PageRhonda Hess
coachspowerpath.com
Rhonda's Coach's Power Path program is all about energy and focus and action, so building on her autumn color palette, we created a sales page that inspires those feelings.

Prosperity Inner Circle
Sales PageRhonda Hess
prosperityinnercircle.com
There's Rhonda's lovely face again. She has been a long time client, and you can begin to see how we have developed her "brand" so that each of her sites and sales pages has the same style and feel to it but still reflects the tone of the particular program or product she's offering.
In this case, the Prosperity Inner Circle is her elite Mastermind group for experienced coaches looking to vault their businesses into 6 figures and beyond, so simple and elegant were the order of the day.

Mindful Mornings
Nichole (that's me) & Les Betterley
So confession time...Mindful Mornings used to be my company. For about 3 or 4 years, my husband and I made Gourmet Oatmeal and sold it at farmers markets, craft fairs and on the internet. The company doesn't exist any more, but the site I created for it made me realize I wanted to make websites (instead of oatmeal) for a living. It was one of my first sites and to this day is still one of my favorites.
I brought all of these beauties to life, but credit for the original designs belongs to other talented folks.

Success From the Inside Out
I create custom blogs on the Wordpress platform ("self-hosted" meaning it's hosted on your own domain and not Wordpress.com if that means anything or makes a difference to you). I've done a lot of research and have amassed a decent amount of experience about what's effective on a blog and what's not, and so most of my projects include the following so you can be successful in your own blogging endeavors...
- Help with setting up your webhost and branded email accounts if you need it (or if you already have this, most often I can work pretty easily with your existing webhost)
- Guidance on "information architecture" - what kind of content you need and how to organize it on your site
- A custom design for your site that we create together which involves a "get to know your style" process culminating in 3 design options
- Installation of the most recent version of Wordpress
- A suite of add-on features (plugins) that enhances your visitors' experience and engagement, on-site search engine optimization (SEO), and social networking integration with sites such as twitter, facebook, linkedin, etc.
- Setting up your RSS feed (a free service which you probably don't know and/or care much about but is important in the blogging world)
- Setting up Google Analytics (also a free service) so you know where your site visitors are coming from and where they're going
- Integration with Aweber to help you build your email marketing list - includes setting up all of the functional pieces so that when you create a blog post, it is automatically emailed to your subscribers.
- Training on how to create blog posts and pages and steps necessary for SEO on each post. Also includes access to video screencasts that walk you through the steps. I consider this last piece to be one of the most critical because I don't want to help you create this phenomenal blog and then not know what to do with it or how to grow it.
