Case Studies
The following examples are primarily the website home page and based on my unique Emotional Journey Website Map. This emotional journey is a proven sequence aligned with buyer psychology and optimal customer experience. It also stresses the importance of taking a website visitor on a complete journey from compelled to contacting you without ever leaving the home page. Research shows that people make a decision 70% on their own to hire you before they even contact you. Let's make sure your website is saying the right things to the right people!
