Join me at the Square Design Summit from 17-19 August, where I'll be sharing how to build a referral engine for your business. Discover practical strategies to generate more ideal client referrals, strengthen relationships and create a more consistent pipeline of opportunities.
One thing clients mention to me again and again, in reviews and in normal conversation, is how organised everything felt. How they always knew what was happening next. How nothing slipped through the cracks, even when the project got complicated along the way. This is the result of having a clear process behind the scenes. One I’ve refined over years by managing numerous Squarespace website and visual brand identity projects for all kinds of businesses.
A strong business process isn't just admin sitting in the background. It's what makes a project feel calm and predictable for the client, even when the work itself is complex. And it's usually the difference between a business that feels chaotic to work with and one that feels genuinely easy.
I joined Kelly Molson on the Lifestyle is a Plan podcast to talk about building an agency on your own terms - how the associate model works, why joy is a genuine business driver, and what keeps me focused on the work that matters.

User experience refers to a persons emotion and attitude towards your website.
It’s how they feel, react, and respond to your website.
It’s important to note, we are not talking about UI design - User Interface Design - UI Design is more to do with how the website looks and feels (it’s a little bit more complicated than that, but that’s a topic for a different day!).
Both UX design and UI design are super important and work closely together.
So, how do you create a great user experience for your website?…
