Template Used: Iris
Name: Erin Shelby
Website: heyitserin.com
What do you do/what is your business?: I am a business coach for women, specifically busy moms with young kids, who want to master success in their own businesses or network marketing companies, and in their lives as a whole. I help them create their vision and a life by design.
What or who inspires you the most?: I find so much inspiration in the women who have overcome the odds to write their own stories. The women who didn't take the first, second, or third no as the final answer. I get so much energy from women who live life by their own design.
What template did you purchase?: Iris
Why did you choose that particular template?: For weeks I had been planning on purchasing Luna, but I think there was a reason I hesitated. Once I saw Iris, I knew she was mine.
Why did you want a new website?: A few months ago, I built my website in a day on Squarespace. I was new to Squarespace, so it was really just me playing around. I knew that when it was time to get serious about utilizing my site for my business, I was going to need professional help.
Why did you choose to purchase one of my templates, rather than a competitors?: Erica came highly recommended in several groups I'm in. Not only did I love her designs the most out of all the options I looked at, Big Cat Creative was also the lowest price! I personally think Erica is pricing herself too low, because she made this process so fun and easy.
How did you feel before you created your new website?: I felt...okay. I was perfectly capable of creating a very basic website, but I knew I needed help to create something that I was TRULY proud of. Squarespace is awesome by itself, but I learned so much with Erica's tutorials.
How do you feel now that you have launched your new site?: OMG, I feel amazing! And so, so proud! I've been getting so many compliments on it, and each one reignites that pride I have in my new site.
How do you think your business is going to benefit from your new website?: Having a site that I feel truly represents who I am as an entrepreneur gives me the confidence in BEING that amazing business woman. I'm no longer just talking the talk... I am walking the walk. My entire marketing ecosystem has changed because of this site. I no longer have to have a landing page here, there, and everywhere. My site ties everything together, which makes my life easier, but will also help with client acquisition and community.
How did you find the whole Squarespace Template process from purchase to launch?: As easy as I knew Squarespace was, I had NO IDEA I could manipulate templates in the way that Erica teaches! Her step by step process and videos literally make this foolproof. What's more, now I actually know how to create in Squarespace when I want to add to or change something on my site.
What's your fav series on Netflix right now?: Dead To Me
