The Growth of Starr Struck's Web Design Biz

As you probably know if you've been reading for a while, when I started this little blog so many years ago now, I had NO idea where it would take me. I wanted to share my love of yoga, writing, and art with the world, but that was about it.

Now, here we are at the end of 2016, and one of the totally un-anticipated places that it's taken me is deep into the world of design. I definitely would have predicted my foray into the more graphic/artistic design work that I do now, but the website design side of the biz? I would never have guessed.

Over the past 1.5 years, this part of my business has continued to grow pretty steadily and I've been loving every minute of it [well, almost every minute, haha!]. The addition of Sara to the team over 1 year ago was a huge help in making these websites happen in a more timely and efficient manner, and together, we've become quite the dynamic duo when it comes to creating websites. We've now designed over 25 sites and are in the process of working on another 4, all to be released into the wild in early 2017 ;) 

Our clients are mostly small business owners and solopreneurs (actually, all small business owners and solopreneurs with a non-profit or two splashed in for good measure), and it has been so incredible to help like-minded individuals shine brighter online.

Our process is super simple: we create your sparkly new website for you in Squarespace, then we train you on how to run it and make edits on your own so that you have complete ownership over your site. We're available for troubleshooting whenever you need it in the future, and we do all of this at a *crazy* affordable price as compared to traditional web design companies.

The reason we do it this way? Because we think everyone should have a beautiful online home, whether or not they have a huge budget to work with, and we know that small business owners need to be able to make changes to their site at 11pm on a Tuesday night and not have to wait on a web designer or manager to become available to make these changes for them.

Sure, you could make your own site in Squarespace, but most of our clients don't have the time to do this, the technical or design expertise to make it happen in the way that they want to, or even the energy to do one. more thing. because they're too busy running their small businesses 24/7. Thus, they outsource to us and we make the process easy, straightforward, and quick. 

IMHO, it's a win-win. 

So with that, here are some of the websites that we've created recently! Click on the screenshot of each site to visit that site and learn more about the client and his or her biz:

Thanks to all of our web design clients for choosing to work with us; it's an honor to help you polish up your online presence!
