Episode Details

Is your website just sitting pretty or is it actually working for your business? If you've ever felt like your site doesn't reflect your growth, doesn't bring in the right clients, or still feels like it belongs to your "just getting started" era, this conversation is for you.

Lori's conversation today is with Cathleen Barnes, the founder of Cathleen Barnes Consulting, a web and brand design studio known for creating strategy-first, high-converting websites for interior designers and creative business owners.

After climbing the corporate ladder for over a decade and reaching the role of eCommerce Director at a global company, Cathleen pivoted. She chose to take her skills into a more meaningful space helping designers and service providers elevate their digital presence with clarity, intention, and a whole lot less stress.

Whether you're looking to rebrand, update, or completely reimagine your website, Cathleen offers a real-world, actionable roadmap for making your site your hardest-working employee, not just an online business card.
