Workshops designed for business owners making it on their own.

This new series is a love letter to my fellow artists, designers, creatives, dreamers, innovators, and ambitious business owners who are carving their paths on their own terms. I’ve designed these DIY web design workshops specifically for solopreneurs and micro-teams who need the tools to establish an online presence that feels refined and tailored to their vision.

These workshops are not an alternative to professional web development, but they provide essential guidance on personal and business branding and fundamental design characteristics that distinguish a professional site from an amateur one, saving you thousands of dollars with indispensable information to build your business!

Workshops for micro-teams and solopreneurs.

  • “Cris is very intuitive and “reads” the needs and the persona quite well. I loved that I didn’t need to write almost anything. The website was completed based on a couple of conversations and the materials I already had. Took off a lot of anxiety that I usually have about writing.”

  • “Working with Cris was awesome! They completely redesigned my website and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Cris is always easy to talk to and stays on top of everything. They have a great eye for design, are a gifted writer, and really take into account what the client wants. Cris provided a web design brief, a PDF of the web copy, and a performance report, so I feel well prepared to run my site now that it’s up. I would recommend Cris to anyone who’s looking for web design or copywriting services.”

  • “Cris was amazing to work with! They knew that I was feeling some time pressure to put out my website, and they were really accommodating and professional. They also made some wonderful improvements on the site that I didn’t even think to add! Would highly recommend them.”

  • “Cris is one in a rare mix of entrepreneurs destined for success and I admire their determination. They very specifically dial into operating models and assesses options before taking action. So important for the industry they’re working in. We will work together again in the future.”

FAQ

  • Bring your own laptop and any note-taking tools you’ll need! We won’t have pencils or notepads on site so come stocked up. We also encourage you to bring yourself a treat to snack on during the session.

  • Currently, we offer in-person workshops in downtown Vancouver. We’re hoping to expand this into a hybrid format in the future. Sign up to the mailing list for updates.

  • Yes. As a Squarespace developer, I’m able to provide my clients with additional discounts on their plans. This discount can sometimes also be layered on top of existing public Squarespace offers. 

  • No. A lot of the design principles are shared through Squarespace because I’ve found it to be the most solopreneur-friendly web builder, but design & branding is boundless and you can use what you learn to integrate into your own site. Some web builders I’ve worked with include Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Adobe, and GoDaddy. We also have a 30-minute allotment at the end of each workshop for troubleshooting and personal website questions.

  • Sadly, thanks to capitalism and multibillion-dollar corporations making the cost of living absolutely obscene, the cost may increase at any moment without prior notice. We do try to keep the price as accessible as possible, for as long as we can.

  • Yes! We would love to help you out with learning how to manage your site. Something to keep in mind; One-on-one or micro-team sessions are charged at the base rate of $130 an hour.
