So excited for my client @artbysohail on the launc So excited for my client @artbysohail on the launch of their new website!

I loved building this Shopify site for Sohail, an Atlanta based self taught artist inspired by surrealism & strong geometric design.

The main goal of this site is to showcase Sohail’s works of art, focusing on the gallery and commission requests, with the merch & e-commerce side the secondary focus. Featuring an asymmetrical layout and lots of fun surprises to scroll through and hover over, it’s a true expression of his imaginative style.

Check out his new site, give him a follow @artbysohail , and join me in congratulations on his new venture.
✨How’s your Link in Bio looking?✨

You don’t need to rely on Linktree for your Link in Bio page.  Creating your link in bio page right on your own website means:
✨You have full design control
✨You boost your SEO (instead of Linktree’s)
✨You don’t have to pay a monthly fee for it
✨The only branding on the page is your own!

Curious to know more?  I’m offering this as a mini-service for existing Shopify store owners looking to uplevel their Link in Bio page and ditch the 3rd party services like Linktree/Linkpop and others!

Intro price for this service is $200, and includes design, 1 round of revisions, and a training video on how to make your own updates so you can make changes on your own in the future.

Send me a DM if you are interested and let’s talk about it!
Have you heard? After 12 years, Shopify will be r Have you heard?  After 12 years, Shopify will be raising the price on their merchant plans.

Shopify has changed & improved so much over the years (hellllo Shopify 2.0!!) so I guess this is expected, but still, no fun to have your biz platform raise their rates, so I empathize if you feel frustrated by this!

What do you think about the new pricing?
Happy New Year! It’s ok if you haven’t set an Happy New Year!  It’s ok if you haven’t set any 2023 resolutions yet, astrologically it’s not a great time for that anyways with Mercury and Mars in retrograde.

I’m using these next few weeks to review and reflect on 2022.  I’m going to be pondering and journaling responses to the prompts I share in this post and then looking for patterns and themes.

It’s really important to look back before moving forward.  Even though our society tells us to go,go,go full speed ahead.

Once I can distill my reflections down into one sentence to sum up the year, I’ll start setting my 2023 business goals, using my 2022 reflections as my guide.

Do you practice reflection?  How does it help you?  I’d love to hear the questions you use for reflection or if you tried some of mine.

Cheers to a joyful and prosperous 2023 for all of us!!
Lots and lots of gratitude to the incredible, pass Lots and lots of gratitude to the incredible, passionate & endlessly creative business owners who I had the pleasure of working with this year.

Whether we built a new website for your business, collaborated behind the scenes to improve your existing business practices, or we worked together to craft the perfect brand identity, I loved it all and it was truly my pleasure to play a small part in your success!

Also, a warm hug of thanks to my fellow web designers who brought me on to their own projects for white label Shopify development - thank you for trusting me with a piece of your own projects! 

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday and a peace and joy filled new year!

Bring an retail entrepreneur is not for the faint Bring an retail entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart, especially this time of year 🤍.

Emotions are running high - this time between tgiving and Xmas is often crucial to ending the year with a profit and it’s much anticipated all year long with lots of hopeful expectations.

Whether you are invigorated by the frenetic pace of another busy holiday season, or ready to ship that last order and head into a well deserved hibernation, 
I’m here to say that this is all normal!

Wishing my e-commerce & retail entrepreneurs many, many “Cha-Ching!’s” smooth shipping, and lots of delighted customers as you get those final orders out the door this weekend.

You got this 🤍
