A Message From Sarah
“I have been producing websites for clients since 2002. And the truth is many of our clients experience frustration with their website projects. Which is unfortunate since websites can be beautiful, functional, and enjoyable to work with.
We work to change the website experience for our clients. We know they often face a set of common problems with their website marketing. And we know first-hand how disappointing it can be when a website project does not deliver the results you hoped for.
If you want a website you love that you can manage yourself – come talk with us! We can support you with creating a new site, updating a current one, and supporting you with being able to use your site.
We are experienced in bringing these projects to completion. We’ll guide everyone involved in the process to create the content and design that you and your customers love. A website that professionally represents your organization, can be used by your team, and is completed within the proposed budget.”
~ Sarah Galbraith Laucks, Co-Founder, True Leaf
Common Problems We Fix For Our Clients
- Cost: Too expensive, from the cost of a new site, to maintenance, hosting and update expenses
- Security: Many sites still lack a current SSL certificate, which can affect people’s ability to find and visit your website
- Speed: If your website is loading slowly that is a problem for search engine optimization (SEO) and your website visitors, plus slow site speed could keep you from showing on search results.
- Mobile Responsive: More than 50% of Internet traffic now happens on mobile phones, and websites need to be designed to look and work great on smart phones, as well as computers and tablets.
- Inability to Update Your Own Website: Your website is an asset that belongs to your company, and as such we feel you should be able to access the site and make simple updates yourself.
If these issues sound familiar to you, we can evaluate your current situation and introduce you to other options. We’ve been frustrated by these issues for many years. Both for ourselves and for our clients and colleagues. So frustrated that we spent two years identifying the best options and developing project structures and systems. To make sure our clients have beautiful websites that they love, that function great, and are affordable.

Pro Tip
Do you use FAQ’s, How-to Articles, Blogging, Recipes, and/or Social Media posts to promote your business? There’s a very cool content marketing principle that will help you get the absolute most from each piece of content you create. Using it means you put the effort into creating the content one time but yield results from it over and over again. The principle is called COPE and it stands for: Create one and publish everywhere. We’ve got an article on one of our brand websites that explains it further – and we can also help you design a custom plan just for your business and your content to get the most out of applying COPE.
