The goal of every website is to find harmony between form and function. Businesses want (and need) a website that is both beautiful and ranks well on Google.

Good site design will immediately form a positive impression for the visitor. It will help guide the users’ eyes and easily tell them where you want for them to look. A site that is well designed will build trust and will encourage conversions.

A site that ranks well on Google will consistently drive targeted traffic to the site. An SEO optimized site will increase brand visibility and will build trust with users.

When creating a new website for your business, you don’t have to choose one over the other, good design or SEO. By focusing on design and content you will create a site that seamlessly integrates form and function.

When you’re finally ready to dive into revamping your website there are a few things you’ll want to keep top of mind. Sometimes the project can feel overwhelming just thinking about all the tiny details can make you wonder if the project is actually going to be worth it (spoiler alert: with the right designers it definitely will be). So we’ve rounded up the top elements of great web design to be mindful of as you explore your options.

Having your website redesigned is no easy decision, and we don’t typically encourage it if there’s no reason for it. You have to consider the process of transferring content, how this could impact your SEO, etc., but some cases are a definite yes. Take our case, for instance– we went years with our old website that had outdated content, wasn’t clear about what we did especially after we switched gears with our offers, and didn’t aesthetically align with the direction we were heading.

Now that we’ve gone through with the redesign, we’ve never been happier. We feel our website does a great job in conveying what we do, our personalities, our mission, and funneling in prospects. If you aren’t sure if a new website design is the next move for you, here are 5 signs that it’s time for a change.

Heck, we’ve even landed a high 5-figure client, because our website confirmed for them that we were the ones they wanted to work with.

Scaling a service-based business is a special kind of feat. As a service provider, there are only so many hours in the day that you can dedicate to client work after all. This can definitely make scaling seem impossibly difficult or out of reach. After starting off as a service-based business for years and then working directly with service providers to scale their own 1:1 services, we’ve learned that there are 11 things you absolutely need to know before scaling. We’re going to dive into what those are in this blog post!

CRMs and service-based businesses go together like peanut butter and jelly. Having a CRM software means that you have a digital database for all things pertaining to your leads and clients.

While we know service providers who are getting by tracking their leads and clients using spreadsheets or other methods, CRMs allow you to boost your overall client experience. You’re able to streamline the way you send contracts, proposals, forms, invoices, schedulers, and other documents, all the while maintaining a consistently branded and professional image.

Unfortunately, we often see service providers massively underutilizing their CRM, so in this post, we want to share 5 ways to maximize your CRM and boost your productivity!

Running a 1:1 service-based business isn’t all flowers and rainbows, and we know you’re ready to grow your biz and take it to the next level. You’re ready to finally:

• Achieve those 5-figure months you’ve been dreaming about since you started
