Website Makeover: DIY website redesigned by pro (before & after)

Have you ever wondered what your website would look like if a pro redesigned the thing?
Well that is exactly what is happening in today's video! Out of the hundreds of submissions, I had to be featured on today's episode, I chose Amy who runs Starlight Reiki!
In this video I review and tweak her website for her, and show you the full before and after. It takes so much courage to put yourself out there like this, but as you know, it is fantastic for your business! Please be supportive & kind in the comments (as you always are!) as it takes a lot of courage to put yourself and your biz out there like this!
To be featured in a future website redesign comment below with your name & website address!

Oh wow!! It's me, Amy from Starlight Reiki! LOL Imagine my surprise to be scrolling KZbin and seeing my website on a thumbnail!😄 Thank you SO very much for selecting my website! I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to get your feedback and redesign suggestions! I saw this video yesterday and took notes and have already made some changes! Thank you so, so much for helping me improve my website. I truly appreciate the time you took on it! 🤩🤗💖💖💖

[@PaigeBrunton]

Heeey Amy! Helen here from the PB team! I popped you an email before the episode went live - so have a check in your spam coz we wanted to be able to thank you properly for putting yourself out there! Thrilled to hear you found the video useful & excited to see the changes you make as a result!

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

@@PaigeBrunton Hey Helen! I must have missed your email! I do check my spam, etc. folders, but must have missed it! I *was* a little nervous, but you don't learn or get better if you don't put yourself out there! Thank you again!! 🤗💖💖💖

[@atotsalon]

This was wonderful, Paige! I would love to see more of these in the future, as it was inspirational and helpful (in addition to SS) in redesigning my site for my business. 💜

[@PaigeBrunton]

YAY! Fabulous, k perfect I'll def keep your request for more of these on my mind when I plan my next batch if videos!

[@deanallenthewifebehindadju9698]

This was so incredible! I’ve already been designing for a few years (learned everything I know from you!) and honestly still learned so much from your explanations as to why you made the specific decisions you did here! thank you! I can’t wait to watch more of these!

[@PaigeBrunton]

Aweeee thanks Dean! I'm rather surprised, your work is so fab, but I'm glad you were still able to learn something new from this! Hope all is well my dear!

[@dlem507]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you, Paige, for doing this type of video. I hope you will do more of them. Thank you, also, to Amy for being willingly and courageous in sharing her site to help others. Congratulations on launching your business, Amy, and I wish you much success! ❤

[@KittywittyPapercraft]

Aww, thank you SO much, Debbie!! I wish you much success as well!!🤗💖💖💖

[@user-bn3sk9no7h]

[@myiostudio]

Super helpful and amazing after!

[@gabrielafustos]

Beautiful and smart!

[@flowersafeheart]

I loved watching this video! Website before and after makeovers are so helpful for me to see!

[@PaigeBrunton]

Awwee thanks so much for takin' the time to say - I had a blast doing it!

[@illustratedbytheresa]

This is amazing! but if I wanted someone to make my help me with my website. How do I find someone

[@kevinpitts3548]

Excellent job! I try to change ours once a year to keep it fresh. I will try these out! If you're still doing this, how would I get my name in the hat?

[@PaigeBrunton]

Fabulous question! Make sure to be on my email list www.paigebrunton.com annnd the next time I do one you'll be sure to see me sharing the opportunity in there!!

[@VeronicaGonmiah1]

Love this video! Lots of great ideas! I’d love for you to try this on a website I put together, but it’s less a personal page and more one for my non profit

[@PaigeBrunton]

Ah thrilled you enjoyed - thank you kindly for taking the time to say! ❤️ Keep an eye out for the next time I'm asking for submissions - I'd love to hear from you!

[@kellyk4243]

Fantastic video Paige! Do you use Loom for these or another tool?

[@PaigeBrunton]

You totally could use Loom! For this I used a mix of Quicktime & Photobooth!

[@gerichka88]

So helpful, in the process of building mine for my spa I just opened. Do you have any videos for SEO for targeting local clients, or how to research keywords?

[@PaigeBrunton]

Ohhh I don't actually but I'll put those on my ideas list, thank you! Be sure to subscribe so you'll see when they get posted! 😊
