ABOUT THE CLIENT

Dr. Christine Sells is a Licensed Psychologist, EMDRIA-Approved Trainer, and Founder of the EMDR Center of Southern California. She trains clinicians in advanced trauma work and runs a high-impact certification program through her website. Christine originally reached out after upgrading her Squarespace site from version 7.1 to 7.2 on her own—only to find broken links, a vanished menu bar, and a major disruption to her course registration flow. Because her clients pay several thousand dollars through the site to access EMDR training, getting things functional fast was essential. After I redesigned the homepage and stabilized the user experience, she asked me to overhaul the full site to better reflect her professionalism, streamline customer navigation, and support long-term growth.

ABOUT THE WEBSITE

Christine envisioned a site that was professional but not clinical—something that felt calming, welcoming, and rooted in the sea. She was clear about wanting a beach-inspired aesthetic to echo the tranquil, therapeutic nature of her work. We incorporated soft ocean tones and gentle movement throughout the site, creating a user experience that feels grounded and serene. Behind the scenes, we streamlined the checkout process for her EMDR training courses, adding subscription payments, installment options, and a required participation agreement. The site also includes a future-ready course section, staff bios with consultation booking, a detailed FAQ, a video testimonial section, a blog to support SEO growth, and a simple contact page. The result is a site that feels both soothing and solid—designed to build trust and make learning seamless.

***Though I helped build the site, I have no control over the daily maintenance. Once the project is out of my hands it is the responsibility of the client to maintain the aesthetic. This means that the current design of the website may or may not be reflective of the work I contributed. Please see the screenshots below for an accurate depiction of my contribution.

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Richard is a lifelong musician who recently invested in building a boutique recording and streaming studio as a creative side hustle to balance the intensity of his corporate job. He came to me looking for a website that would reflect the soul and authenticity of live music while also helping him attract new clients and showcase what makes Right Take Studio unique. He didn’t want something flashy or overly polished—he wanted it to feel real, approachable, and a little bit rebellious. I helped him distill the heart of his story, craft his logo, flesh out his packages, highlight his studio’s capabilities, and create a minimalist site that captures the gritty magic of live performance while making it easy for musicians to get in touch, see what equipment he has, book time, and stream to the world.

ABOUT THE WEBSITE

For the design of the website, Richard wanted something that felt creative, down-to-earth, and true to the live music experience—nothing too slick or sterile. The studio itself is filled with carefully chosen gear and has a warm, gritty vibe, so I made sure the site reflected that same sense of character and honesty. The main goal was to create a simple but impactful one-page site where bands and solo artists could quickly understand what the studio offers, watch sample videos, and easily reach out to book a session. We also highlighted the studio’s live-streaming capabilities and Richard’s mission to support emerging artists, making the site both a calling card and a tool for connection.
