a 16-week, guided, small-Group Website Build

Build a site you can’t wait to share – with a guide at your side.

Website Wayfinder takes your site from proof you exist to proof you're worth choosing.

Your url has become your dirty little secret.

Get your site sorted 😮‍💨

And you've been carrying it around a lot longer than you'd like to admit.

Someone asks for your website and your chest tightens. You share the link with a quick disclaimer – "it's being updated!" – or skip it entirely and keep the conversation in DMs.

Because you've been building around your site instead of with it.

  • The about page still sounds like past-you.

  • Your podcast is a bitty little blip on the contact page.

  • You email a list of ways to work with you because the services page is soooo outdated.

And every time you sit down to deal with it, the whole weekend disappears. Six tabs deep, nothing to show for it.

You're stuck in a loop where every try costs a weekend & leaves it half-done.

Website Wayfinder is the path to the other side

A done-with-you group program where you write, build, and launch a site that actually reflects who you are now.

You're not handing your site off to a designer or doing it totally on your own.

You’re building it yourself (because no one gets your business like you). BUT! You're doing it with someone who knows which decisions to make, in which order, and why, and a small crew of other business owners just like you.

By the time we wrap, you'll have a gorgeous, strategic Squarespace site you’re actually eager to share – plus the know-how to update it when something changes.

Your site, done right – together.

16 Weeks | Fall ‘26 Cohort: Sept 1–Dec 15

1. Strategy Foundations

We figure out who you're talking to, what your site needs to do, and how it should flow – before we touch anything visual.

2. Content + Design

Copy, images, and pages built during live coworking time. The work happens in the session, not in a pile of homework you'll keep meaning to get to.

3. Launch Essentials

SEO settings, legal docs, redirects, integrations, analytics. The stuff that needs to happen before you hit publish (and that nobody warns you about).

What's included:

Brand Roots Blueprint

Your built-in brand strategy foundation.

We’ll dig into messaging, visuals, and positioning before you ever touch a design block, so your site looks good and makes sense.

Live Weekly Build Calls

Each of our 14 (optional) live sessions are designed to minimize homework.

We’ll blend training, co-working, and feedback on our calls so you actually get shit done. Plus, two catch-up weeks are built in mid-program, because… life.

24/7 Private Slack Community

A place to ask questions, celebrate your wins, and find community feedback & support.

And in case you need more time, Slack stays open for six weeks after for post-launch support and accountability.

Katrina’s immediate wins

You're about to loooove your site (for the first time in a while)

What happens when strategy comes first.

The websites built in this program aren't built on vibes and YouTube.

We build from strategy – user journey, keywords, positioning, copy, design – done in order, with someone who can explain the why behind each decision.

That's the piece most DIY-ers are missing. Knowing how to use Squarespace is actually not the hardest part. The strategy layer – what to build, in what order, and why – is what the tutorials skip.

Let’s talk numbers:

“Website Wayfinder gave me the space to really learn WHY and HOW things like nailing a brand identity site wide, landing on strategic SEO keywords, and creating less friction for my clients (and potential ones!) can make all the difference.

Carolyn is kind, hilarious, patient, and a genius. I can't recommend working with her enough.”

Meet your guide

The vibrant hummingbird from the SmallBiz Sidekick logo, a beacon of innovative and tailored website design solutions for the bustling entrepreneur

Hey hey! It’s me, Carolyn, your Website Redesign Expert.

I'm a Squarespace Gold Tier Circle Member who has rebuilt dozens of sites for service providers, coaches, and consultants. Before web design, I ran a brick-and-mortar cheese shop and wine bar – which, oddly, is where I learned everything I know about what a good client experience actually feels like. (And what it costs a business when it isn't working.)

I don’t come from a tech background. I come from the frustrated-business-owner side of the desk, which means I know what it's like to have a site that's lagging light years behind your actual business. My whole approach is built around teaching the why, not just the steps – because I'm not trying to become your web person for life. I'm trying to make that unnecessary.

When I'm not building sites, you can find me playing Himalayan sound bowls for a quick meditation shortcut, or floating down the Rivanna River with my husband and two kids.

This isn't for everyone.
(But it might be exactly for you.)

for you:

  • You've been in business for a few years and you’ve outgrown your website

  • You want to build and understand your own site – with someone in your corner who knows what they're doing

  • You've tried YouTube tutorials and ended up more confused than when you started

  • You can show up to weekly calls September through December

  • You're on Squarespace or ready to make the switch

maybe not:

  • You want someone else to just handle it (my Northstar Site Build might be a better fit)

  • You want a purely self-paced course (the live structure is the point)

  • You're still figuring out your offers or audience

  • September – December is a rough season for your schedule (join the January cohort!)
