How a New Website Helped This OBM Attract More Clients in Less Time

One-Week Website Design

Online Business Manager & Systems Expert

The Challenge 

Devin Lee, an Online Business Manager and Systems Expert working with rapidly growing businesses, was at a crossroads with her online presence. Her existing DIY website was functional but lacked the professional touch and optimization that she knew was crucial for her growing business. Devin recognized the limitations of her current website and understood that it fell short of what her brand and services deserved. 

“I knew my DIY website was *OK*, but it wasn't super professional and I knew it could be way better. I also knew that there were limits to what I could do and didn't have the time or motivation to figure it out myself.”

Devin's key challenges were: 

  • A desire for a more professional and optimized website.

  • An awareness of the limitations of her DIY website.

  • A lack of time and motivation to explore and address these issues herself.

The Solution 

Devin decided to collaborate with Samantha, an industry expert in website design and development, recognizing the potential for a transformative partnership. Samantha's reputation for knowledge, efficiency, friendliness, and exceptional website design and communication were particularly appealing to Devin.

The 5 phases of the one-week website process 

1. Prep 

The journey began with the Prep phase, where a comprehensive website strategy was crafted. Devin received a Strategy Guide that included a design mood board, a website color palette, font selections, and a sitemap. This comprehensive guide served as a roadmap for the entire project, allowing Devin to review and provide feedback to ensure that the website's design aligned with her vision. 

"I went in fully trusting that you had all the knowledge and skills to make the website happen - and I was right!" 

Devin appreciated the reminders leading up to the day, which helped her stay on track as the launch date neared.

 
 
 

2. Propose 

During the Propose phase, I leveraged my expertise to turn the Strategy Guide and Devin's copy into a stunning design. Devin was presented with a mockup of her website homepage, a fully developed design with images and copy included, going far beyond the typical wireframe. 

Devin's Favorite Part: "You were so quick to respond and so supportive when I was struggling at any point. You always answered my questions and were calm and helpful throughout!"

 

3. Produce 

Once Devin provided feedback on the mockup, Samantha proceeded to the Produce phase. During the Production Day, Samantha meticulously built out all elements of the design, including four pages of the website and a blog. Mobile design and rigorous testing were conducted to ensure a seamless user experience. 

"You make it easy. I get caught up in design processes because I overthink them, so I appreciate everything happening all in one week."

 
 
 

4. Perfect 

The Perfect phase involved wrapping up important details, such as keyword research, SEO implementation, newsletter and scheduler connections, and domain connection for a seamless launch. 

5. Propel 

As the project reached its conclusion, Devin was equipped for success. She received a tutorial video tailored to her website's design elements, backups of CSS and style settings used, and access to an extensive video tutorial library. This post-launch support ensured that Devin felt confident in managing her new website.

The Outcome

 A Transformed Online Presence 

The final result was a transformed online presence for Devin Lee. Her brand was now accurately represented, and her website resonated with visitors. The website was not just a functional platform but a professional and optimized hub that matched her expertise and services. 

Effortless Efficiency 

What stood out in Devin's experience was the efficiency of the VIP Experience. The website was designed and launched within a week, eliminating the need for extended back-and-forth revisions.

Confidence and Satisfaction 

Devin gained the confidence that her online presence matched her professional expertise and services. The new website was not only professional but also optimized, setting her on a path to attracting more clients and growing her online business.

Business Growth 

The transformation of her website opened doors to further growth. Devin could now confidently engage with clients, knowing that her online presence matched the quality of her services.

The Future 

Devin looks forward to a future where her optimized and professional website becomes a cornerstone for her expanding online business, attracting more clients and opportunities.

I went in fully trusting that you had all the knowledge and skills to make the website happen - and I was right! You were so quick to respond and so supportive when I was struggling at any point. You always answered my questions and were calm and helpful throughout! And of COURSE I am OBSESSED with my website! You incorporated so many elements I could never have dreamed of and I have loved showing it off!
