Do you just work with photographers?

I mostly do yes – by niching down, it's helped me (and is still helping me) to more specifically improve my work flow and solve my client's problems in terms of branding and design. But I do occasionally take on other artful-vibed, boutique-sized businesses. The process is a little more custom to you, get the details here.


I really want to work together but I'm worried about switching platforms and losing SEO or blog posts, is that a problem?

Besides that design is a bigger investment, this is one of the top concerns understandably because of the world we live in – we have to please Google, search engines, etc. Showit's team offers free migration of any blog posts you already have to your new current site so you don't lose those. Your design will be housed within Showit's backend basically and your posts will be in a new 'Wordpress account by Showit' so you're getting the best of both worlds. You can take advantage of the world's favorite blog platform as well as the customization capabilities in Showit. The switch is worth it in the long run whether you're super tech savvy or not. I set up basic page titles, text tags, file image names correctly for search engines, etc. and with that clients do just fine after the switch! If you do rely more heavily on Google/search traffic versus word-of-mouth referrals or IG, then I would for sure encourage you to stay proactive post-launch and blog more, as well as update images and any copy you need every 3-6 months so it's fresh when Google crawls your site.

I love your style of design but I'm hesitant to reach out yet because I feel like I'm not sure about my own style/design aesthetic...any advice?

Totally, so you'll know better than anyone when you're ready to take the leap and invest in design but there are a few signs that it might be too early for you. If you really are trying out a lot of different shooting styles, editing styles, types of shoots, then you probably will have a hard time narrowing down a look that works with all of it. If you're mid-pivoting from one type of service/shoot to another, it also might be too early. When you feel like you are shooting a lot of the same thing (and you like that), you're becoming known or sought out for your editing style/experience/etc, that's a great time to put good design to work for you so it can do some of the heavy lifting of attracting the more of the right clients for you while you're doing the work. My clients usually know the 2-3 adjectives most of their clients would describe them as, they're excited about the Pinterest board assignment because they already have visual ideas that come to mind, and they're open to seeing what ideas I can bring to the table as well.


Do you offer any templates?

Not at this time, no sorry! =) Maybe someday in some form, but I really do feel like custom design ultimately serves you best when you're ready for it. I do now offer branding + 'starter' websites with fewer pages if you're dying to get a new look going, and you know you'll return pretty quickly for the rest of the pages you need but you're sick of and/or embarrassed of your current site or lack thereof. See the details on that package here.


Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! If you want to pay in full, that's cool (and there's a small discount if you do!) but if you want to spread payments out, it's a 30% deposit, and the rest is broken up into 2-3 payments.


Why the name Good Witch?

I have to admit I love movies and shows – the magic of them, ahhh!! So as I was working with clients over the last few years, I just noticed the parallel of how a lot of my clients sort of already know the answers to what they're looking for, they just need someone to guide them and help them see the answers, very similar to how Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz, doesn't just give Dorothy answers to her problems, she simply helps her realize that she knew the answer to her problems all along. I hope to be that guide for you so you can have a brand + website that really reflects and empowers you!


Am I the right client for you?

My clients and I tend to be the kind of people that want to pass down the simple skills of having a real conversation, sharing a good meal, making and keeping friends in real life, capturing memories in photographs or super 8 films; we can agree to disagree, we respect everyone no matter what and see value in others. We have a sense of humor, the desire to create and play and wonder and wander and support each other's dreams. We see technology as an amazing tool but we know that human-ness is greater, it's more important...old is just interesting as new. And we believe in something bigger than ourselves, we believe in magic in some form, and we love to inspire others to feel it too.
