I invite you to support this amazing & inspiring startup which is one of my current pro bono clients. Shayla Cabrera is a young, energetic, and laser-focused entrepreneur who is launching her dream business: sharing her love for plants.

It's a super-duper-fun project and I've quickly become a huge fan of Shayla's. She has a clear and heartfelt passion and she approaches it with contagious playfulness and grounded gusto.

Tomorrow is her first Pop-Up Plant Shop in Jersey City, NJ. Tonight is her website launch. And, this morning, a dear mentor of hers launched a GoFundMe campaign to help her fund a used van that will be her PlantMobile, among other concrete start-up expenses.

Have a look at her GoFundMe page and if you feel moved, please consider even a small donation to help her manifest her dream. If you're not able to do so, please consider sharing my post.

Hi all!

Would you like a handcrafted website that clearly communicates the heart and soul of what you do? One that's clean and beautiful and easy for users to navigate?

And perhaps you'd also like help writing the wording that will win over new site visitors, while building trust and confidence in you and your business.

I can help you toot your own horn, and coach you gently through any resistance you may have to being seen.

I invite you to check out my portfolio and connect with me for a casual exploratory conversation to see if we might be a good fit:

P.S. Also, I'd be honored if you'd share this! Thx!

Are you ready for a new website? If so, let's talk!

I've been really enjoying working with some amazing clients. (Including lots of fellow 'Renaissance women'!) Here's a lovely testimonial from Michele Granberg, a recent client who lives in New Jersey. (Most of my clients are long-distance—and it works really well, by the way!)

"Claire O'Connor recently gave my website a complete redesign from the ground up. When we first spoke, I felt a lot of confidence in her bringing my vision and my brand to life.

I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process, and I'm so pleased with the results. My new site is fresh, interesting and easy for visitors to navigate.

Claire was really easy to work with and the communication flowed back and forth easily between us. I felt she understood exactly what I wanted—even when I was unsure.

I highly recommend working with Claire for website design services— especially if you are a health and wellness entrepreneur, as she has a strong background in this field."

Another gem from Chris Zydel...

"If you're making art you're an artist.
If your soul is crying out loudly for you to be doing art, you're an artist.
If all you can think about is art, you're an artist.
If you're asking yourself these questions: "Am I an artist?" " Me? An artist??" " Should I be an artist?" you're an artist.
If you answered yes to even ONE of these questions, you're an artist.
The rest is just details. And doing the practice. And making room in your life for however your art needs to be expressed."

"Our bodies are vulnerable. And more fragile than we want to believe. S**t happens. We live in the mystery where things don't always make a lot of sense.

It can be hard to stay in self compassion when we are feeling afraid or limited. It's all too easy to blame ourselves and fall into cycles of guilt and shame for the fact that we are simply human.

But what we need most when we find ourselves in the grip of some bodily hell or another is buckets of love, oceans of kindness, and the sweetest tenderness imaginable for these all too-mortal, doing-the-best-they-can, precariously miraculous, physical forms."
