    • Web designing

Refresh and modernize the existing website to reflect a more professional, polished, and “grown-up” brand presence as the business approaches its 2-year anniversary.

This is not a full rebuild. The goal is a visual and structural refresh while keeping the current platform and core content.

Scope of Work

Website Redesign & Visual Refresh

  • Modernize the overall look and feel of the existing Squarespace website
  • Elevate the design to feel:
    • More professional
    • More cohesive
    • More aligned with a growing, established coaching brand
  • Retain the current logo, but:
    • Propose a refined color palette
    • Suggest updated fonts and visual style
    • Improve layout consistency and spacing
  • Enhance visual hierarchy and user flow across pages

 

Creative Direction & Brand Enhancement

The VA should be comfortable acting as a creative partner, not just a technician.

  • Provide design suggestions aligned with the client’s brand
  • Recommend:
    • Updated color schemes
    • Section styling
    • Visual balance and whitespace
  • Incorporate video elements where appropriate (e.g., background video sections or embedded video) to make the site feel more dynamic

Page Updates & Structure

Existing pages will be refreshed, not rebuilt from scratch.

New Page to Be Added:

  • Training & Workshops Page
    • Overview of workshops and training services offered
    • Clean, simple layout — not overly complex
    • Clear positioning of this offer within the business

  • Optimize placement of Calendly embeds or links
  • Suggest improvements to the contact experience to make it:
    • Easier
    • Clearer
    • More intuitive for visitors

Copy Collaboration (Light Copy Editing)

This is collaborative, not full copywriting from scratch.

  • Review existing website copy
  • Suggest improvements for:
    • Clarity
    • Flow
    • Professional tone

Inspiration & Creative Input

  • Review inspiration websites provided by the client
