Need a Simple Website?

I’ve resisted having a website for years, finally I’ve built one with Carrd. It was surprisingly painless and budget friendly. Perhaps my experience can help you dip a toe in the website owning water?

A Bit About Me

I’m a writer, researcher and AI wrangler in my business consultancy. I am a one-woman band although typically I work for and with other consultants on larger projects. My work comes from a mixture of personal referrals, agencies and platforms.

These days I do more research than writing. Fortunately, I love research. I’m not talking about scientific research (no chemicals involved unless you count tea) but pragmatic desk-based research and interviewing.

Until now I’ve not needed a website of any description. Then AI happened and my steady stream of work is more of a trickle than a torrent.

Accepting the Need for a Website

Writing landing pages, blogs and content for a personal website is time I can spend writing for a client. Plus, I suffer from Degas syndrome — the urge to polish and refine to the nth degree. Working to tight deadlines means perfection is not a practical goal, and I stop overworking my projects. A personal website is an invitation to a permanent “in draft” site, for me.
