Digital Strategy
I design websites on the Wordpress.com platform so that the client can quickly and easily take control of their own site. All build-outs include customization where appropriate, classes on content management, and social media integration as necessary. Example websites: 3312bryker.com drfrankeallen.com 5750balcones.com BlissFit Aspen Boot Camp lyssawrites.com (this site) Content: My philosophy on web content is that it’s short, easy-to-skim, and catchy. Let me update your website’s content to increase information retention and conversions.

Users then complete the action item and get different points for how it’s verified: based on integrity, a photo, a check-in, and so on. There are four areas of happiness–body, psych(ology), style, and belief; users try to “level up” their happiness by completing each day’s action items.
