Today, I want to give a shout out to my long-term client, Winning Writers.
My team and I primarily support them with web development work, though we’ve also worked together on marketing and SEO projects over the years. Their website is a great and well-known resource for poets and creative writers (they also host their own writing contests!) and we’re very happy to be part of their team.
I appreciate and value their commitment to diversity and inclusion in all the work they do. I also really like supporting creatives and artists – their work is so important to our world. ✍️🌎And like Tunnel 7, they value long-term relationships in their work.
If you're a creative writer or poet, please go check out the good work that Winning Writers is doing. You're sure to find helpful writing resources and maybe even a contest to participate in on their website!

It’s easy to think of your website as static and assume that once you’ve got it up and running, you're good to go.
But website maintenance needs to happen after launch! There are some essential steps you’ll want to consider to keep your website in top shape (especially if you’re a busy business owner without a full-time developer or content team.).
I know this can feel like a lot... If you’d like a little help, here are some high-impact tasks my team and I can take off your plate:
🌱 Keep your software up to date.
🌿 Set up website backups.
🌻 Build out any new sections to the site that you need.
🗻 Develop a website content plan and content calendar.
✨ Set up GA4 and help you understand GA4 reports to know how people are using your website.
I love helping clients with their web maintenance because it's a great way for us to build a long-term relationship and provide you with easy continued online support.
Comment “WEBSITE” if you’d like to chat with me about Tunnel 7’s web maintenance services.

Hi, it's Emily!
As the one responsible for making sure your websites and online marketing are a success, I often get asked "How did you get into web design and marketing anyway?" Well, in 2023 I shared my journey in this video.
💡 Let's just say it required determination and I'm a fan of learning new things.

I had the chance to go on a Vipassana retreat over the holidays. 😌
That meant turning off my phone, removing all distractions and spending my days simply meditating, eating and sleeping. Given the busyness and complexity of life these days, the simplicity of the retreat was a welcome change.
Here are 3 things I learned from my time offline:
🔄 My life does not need to revolve around my smart phone. We all know our phones can be useful for lots of things and I’m not suggesting you throw yours in the river. But being offline for the retreat reminded me of all of the things I miss out on when I spend too much of my free time with my face in a screen (think: time with the people I care about, time in nature, etc.) It was good to have a chance to reevaluate my relationship with it.
🌿 Mindfulness is a great tool for learning to relate to life’s experiences in an open, non-judgmental way. With mindfulness, I can be more aware of what’s going on for me – I’m less on auto pilot and I have more choice in how I respond to things. And bonus: you can take it with you anywhere.
💛 Appreciation and gratitude even for the small stuff can go a long way. We all get that life is hard sometimes. Things can be unpredictable and the world can seem wild, chaotic, and downright scary. Finding even small things to feel appreciation for can help keep anxiety and fear at bay, and help us live more full, meaningful lives.
All in all, the retreat was a great reset and I’m excited to dive back into work with our many great T7 clients.

Emily got out recently for a couple of days of stellar climbing in beautiful Mazama, Washington on the edge of the North Cascades. Here she is on her way up one of the 18 rock pitches on a route called Flyboys.
