I met Sam at a networking event, and we connected quickly, chatting over coffee about our love for all things France.
I can’t believe how easy it was to complete what I had been procrastinating for over a year!
It’s difficult to write about yourself, and also, when you’re so far into the business, sometimes you don’t see how it should be expressed to ensure the main points are covered. Sam’s copywriting literally spoke my language!
I had also been talking to a number of web designers, but Sam explained the process in very easy-to-understand language. Plus, she knows both Squarespace and how to run a service-based business, so was all over how to market my business.
She takes your vision and brings it to life!
Everything was amazing and perfect! I felt heard and validated.
Her communication and project management were exceptional. There was no time that I didn’t understand what was being done and by who.
Sam is not just a website builder. She has an amazing knowledge of marketing and how to generate sales through websites and copywriting.
Her insight, energy and creativity to get it so perfect for you CANNOT be found in too many web designers.
When you work as a solo entrepreneur, it sometimes feels very lonely, but I felt like you were part of my business and totally invested in getting the website perfect.
Sam, you listened to what I wanted and clearly understood my business needs. You certainly went the extra mile, and for that, I am forever grateful.
