I am still not over "ChatGPT," when spoken aloud in French sounds like, "cat, I farted."

Hey! 👋🏻 It's been a while since I re-introduced myself, so this is me: I’m Lou K., a digital business consultant and web designer based in Brunswick, Victoria, Australia. 1/4 👇🏻

Not every service providing business wants to scale to the moon. Some just want to ensure they're getting to see enough of the right people.

Is your calendar not full enough? Maybe ads are the answer, but maybe there's a more affordable way. I explain in this 10 minute podcast episode 🙏🏻

Weird thing happened on Zoom today: I did an interview for my podcast with someone. Their video image on my end kept randomly glitching out (as in the person's face got scrambled up with green and messed up pixels)

People whinge about not being able to contact their web developer when they need help with their website, after it's done... Well, as part of my service, I have scheduled reach-outs after your website is done. 🤗

Quick tip — simple website tweak to get more leads (no need for a whole redesign): Write your headline and text on the page so that it resonates with their customers' desired outcome. What sounds more appealing...

Smashing it today! Just sent off a proposal for a new website, and a quote for some WordPress website repairs. 🍾🙏🏻

Are you reaching for a "champagne moment" in your business? 🍾 By this, I mean some super amazing goal you're happy to celebrate! It could be something like a $10K month, finally earning enough to quit your job, or getting your first client. Mine, I'd say, is surely a $10K month. 🥰 What's yours?

Me every time I hear a business owner talk about SEO. Don't get me wrong, SEO can work in the right circumstances, with the right application. But any ning-nong can sell SEO and make it look like they're *doing something*.

If you value someone's skills—but not enough to pay them fairly—do you actually value them? I have very little tolerance for this.

Hi all. Do you have a business, but you're unhappy about sending people to your website? I'm a solo web designer/developer local to Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia. I'm looking for some case studies for my web design portfolio. And so I'm offering a reduced rate.

"If you build it, they will come" Sorry to break the bad news, but that's not how it works with websites. If you don't have a marketing strategy to bring people to your website, then of course you're going to feel like it's a waste. But what if it was a kick-ass lead generating machine?

No health clinic or small business owner should have to spend $$$$ on Google Ads and/or a marketing firm, only to be no better off. If I can help it, I wouldn't allow anyone to go through that. 🫂 I explore other options with my clients first.

I'm releasing a video/podcast soon unpacking all the things I think one should know before they approach a web designer for a website. 🙂 I'm excited to share it, and I hope it gives someone some much-needed clarity about what they should be asking.

Question for business owners who want to tap into the secret of SEO: Why? What makes this important to you? 🤔

It's my birthday soon and people have been asking me what I want. Trouble is: I don't really have much in the way of wants. But I do have needs. The thing I need most right now: Connection with people.

Does your WordPress website need TLC? Well yes, it does. The tradeoff of it being cheaper than other website platforms is that you are responsible for keeping the software updated and secure. In this article, I'll cover what that involves. 🦋

What makes people want to stay on websites? What makes them want to close the tab quicker than swatting a fly? 🤔 One aspect is colour! And I've got a free article to share where I explain this further. Check it out here:
