My goals so far for 2021 have been childbirth and to survive the first few weeks of motherhood. 😂🙌🏻🙏🏻 But honestly, it’s been so refreshing to have an excuse to turn off the noise and start this year gently. I’ve felt less pressure, more peace. Less productivity, more presence. I am still dreaming, goal setting, creating and growing …(literally, a human!). I just don’t do it wishing I had one more day to not feel behind or pushing hard a few more hours to catch up. I’m excited to enter 2021 in eager anticipation of a slower season full of newborn cuddles. I look forward to coming back to work (talk to me about March 2021!) and re-evaluating what I want to bring back into my business and what I’d like to improve on. And, until baby girl makes her arrival, I’ll be working with my amazing clients, finishing their beautiful websites and celebrating their launches this month! #36weekspregnant 
✨DESIGN TIPS THAT WILL BOOST SALES PAGE CONVERSION RATES PART 2 Your choice of color and typography matter WAY more than you think and here's why: ➡️Your colors set a tone and mood. ➡️Your typography brings the brand voice to life. When developing your sales piece - whether it's a website, sales page or graphic - both work together to create psychological and emotional reaction to your brand Even choosing only black and white is a choice! (And don't think because you haven't narrowed down your brand doesn't mean your readers haven't come up with one for you.) The best way to know how to choose color and typography is honing in on your ideal audience so you can get them to respond exactly how you want. Would it be helpful for me to break down certain colors and their psychological triggers for you? Let me know in the comments and I just might make a post about it! 
While I know, inherently, it’s important to share authentic content, I’ve struggled with sharing my ever-growing belly. Why? We are eagerly anticipating this new little arrival, but this journey has also made me feel all the emotions. Happy, sad, out of control, hyper-protective, surrounded by love and isolated. I’m also learning to navigate in a world that doesn’t allow my husband to things like life-changing ultrasounds. And I’ve overcome the worst morning sickness and oh yeah, having COVID too. But I was recently reminded that we have a lot of different lives. The private ones. The personal. And the public. Sometimes I feel comfortable sharing everything (making it public) and sometimes during this journey, I’ve collected every moment and saved it up in the private category. No matter what you’re going through, good or bad and what you want to share or privately enjoy, you’re allowed. It only has to be right for you because all of those lives are totally and completely yours. Take it from me. I’m a mom. #27weekspregnant

Hitting the 24 week mark - almost 6 months along! Things I am LOVING right now: 1️⃣ Waffles. It may be baby girl, it may be that we just finished watching all of Parks & Recreation, but I am legit having dreams about waffles. To the point where I wake up immediately after and go downstairs to throw one in the toaster. 2️⃣ Designing sales pages. There is something so powerful about seeing all the pieces for a new program launch come together - the offer, the copy, the images. 3️⃣ Skirts, oversized sweaters and leggings. I just got some new clothes that will last me throughout the next 4 months. I made myself a uniform - oversized sweater, leggings, ballet flats. Who needs maternity clothes anyway? Give me all the comfy clothes! 5️⃣ My nursery! Or, the thought of it. @meetingmeredithcreative, my sister-in-law is an interior design fanatic and I handed over the entire nursery plans to her. I have no idea what she’s purchase with our credit card - but I’m so excited to see it when it comes together in a few weeks!✨ So there you have it, random things I’m excited about over here. Now it’s your turn: what are you obsessed with these days? Seriously, tell me below! ![✨DESIGN TIPS THAT WILL BOOST SALES PAGE CONVERSION RATES - PART 1 [You'll want to save this!]
I've been deep into sales pages this past quarter and wanted to share an easy hack so many miss that could be costing sales:
✨Using a right-pointing arrow when with call to actions or buttons✨
An arrow communicates, especially when thinking about user interface design, a next step.
If you can get someone to say “I’m moving forward,” you just helped them say a subconscious "yes" to your offer - aka a microconversion.
That little forward arrow adds a bit of anticipation, makes their heart to beat a little faster, and it's visual confirmation that, “Yes, I’m ready to take the next step to learn more about this offer.”
When you actually think about it, you know you've felt this too!
If you can get someone to have a "mini-yes" enough times, it's more likely they'll say an actual yes and pull out their credit card. 💳

It's October which means everyone has an offer to promote for the holidays ✨ And fun fact - @meetingmeredithcreative and I will be partnering up to bring you something extra special to use for your business this season! But before we start planning our offers... Sometimes we get so caught up in the perfect messaging, the perfect sales page, and the perfect funnel, we forget to make sure our offer is actually what our audience wants. So I encourage you (as we will be doing this too) - to first get some feedback from your audience so that your offer is absolutely remarkable before making that Black Friday marketing plan of yours! Since we both want to practice what we preach - what issues do you run into creating your sales pages and messaging when launching your offer? Chat with me in the comments below (or check my story!) We'll take your feedback to heart because we want to help you launch offers through the holidays and beyond with ease. 💗
