    49. Coaching Website Design: The High Impact Mindset Co

    49. Coaching Website Design: The High Impact Mindset Co

    Today, I'm sharing behind-the-scenes of a recent website design project I worked on for The High Impact Mindset Co. I share the process and give you some tips on creating a website for your business or refreshing your existing one.



    Carissa, a busy working mom and mindset coach, needed a professional website to elevate her coaching business. Her main goal for the website was to educate and connect with her clients, and she felt that having a professional site was crucial in establishing her business's authority and credibility.



    In this show I review our conversation about her experience working with me. You can hear the process, her experience and what we did to create a website for a mindset coach.



    Thanks for listening and please leave a review if this helped you and your business.

    48. Pros and Cons of a Website vs Social Media

    48. Pros and Cons of a Website vs Social Media

    In today’s digital age, the question of whether a small business needs a website or can thrive solely on social media is more important than ever.



    While social media platforms offer unparalleled reach and engagement opportunities, the traditional website remains a very important part of your online presence, allowing you to have a customizable hub for branding, e-commerce, and customer interaction.



    In this show I list out the pros and cons of using social media for your business and the pros and cons of having a website.



    Should you have both, use them together or something else?



    This is not an either/or decision to make regarding your marketing, but a way to think about how you want to use your time. Listen to the show to find out where you stand.
