The holidays are fast approaching, and with them comes a whirlwind of emotions. Excitement for connecting with loved ones often mingles with the stress of managing client projects, holiday marketing, and self-care.

This year, let's approach the season from a place of thoughtfulness and intention. This guide offers a practical approach to navigating the busy period while still showing up authentically for your clients, your business, and yourself.

As a busy Spokane business owner, you know that a strong online presence is essential for success. Fromage Studio is here to help you create a showstopping website that not only looks amazing but also drives results.

Spokane Businesses, did you know: Squarespace is a fantastic platform for building beautiful websites, but did you know it also has built-in SEO features to help you rank higher in search engine results? SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the process of improving your website's visibility and ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs).

In today's digital age, a well-designed website is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity for small businesses. But is investing in a custom website really worth the cost? Let's explore the return on investment (ROI) and how a custom website can benefit your business.

A custom website is more than just a collection of pages; it's a reflection of your brand's unique personality and values.

Ever wished your website could be a little more exclusive, a little more you? Well, I've got a game-changer for you: Squarespace Memberships.

I'm a huge fan of Squarespace for building beautiful, user-friendly websites for my clients, and this feature is icing on the cake. It's like having your own private club for your biggest fans and most loyal customers.

One of the most common challenges I encounter when working with clients is their struggle to write a compelling "About Me" page. Many entrepreneurs find themselves stuck between sounding overly salesy or too humble. But a well-crafted "About Me" page can be a powerful tool for attracting new clients and building trust.

Your "About Me" page is often the first impression visitors have of your business. It's your chance to connect with potential clients, build trust, and showcase your unique value proposition. But how do you write an "About Me" page that's both authentic and effective?

We know you’re kind of a big deal so let’s talk about it.

You're ready to hit the reset button on your business, but limited resources might be holding you back. Fear not, fellow entrepreneur! With a dash of creativity and some strategic planning, you can make a big splash even on a budget.

You're a busy Spokane small business owner, juggling a million tasks while building your brand. Your website is your digital storefront, and it's crucial that it reflects your business accurately and effectively. But when is it time for a simple refresh, and when do you need a full-blown redesign? Let's dive in.

You're a Spokane small business owner. You know the importance of a strong online presence, but creating a website that truly stands out can feel like baking a complex soufflé. Fear not! We've got the recipe for a perfect Spokane website.

Feeling lost in the labyrinth of SEO jargon? Don't worry, Spokane businesses, we've all been there. But fear not, SEO adventurers! This guide will be your compass, helping you navigate the twists and turns to reach your destination: organic traffic growth for your Spokane business.

The Spokane SEO Maze: Understanding Page vs. Site SEO

Imagine your website as a bustling marketplace in the heart of Spokane. Individual pages are like unique shops, each needing to be well-stocked and inviting (that's page SEO). But if the marketplace itself has a confusing layout and hidden entrances (poor site SEO), potential customers might struggle to find your fantastic products or services.

Calling all Side Hustle Heroes! You've got the skills, the passion, and maybe even a killer website (thanks, Fromage Studio!). But in the crowded online marketplace, how do you make your side hustle stand out from the rest?

The answer? Storytelling.

Remember that Mother's Day giveaway we held last month? We offered a free website to a deserving Mompreneur – a mom running a business, pursuing a passion project, or simply needing a digital space to call their own. Nominations poured in, filled with inspiring stories of moms chasing dreams and juggling it all.

Mica, the owner of Spokane Baby Company, stood out.

The fire still burns, but the embers have cooled. You're the Comeback Kid – a business owner who's faced setbacks, weathered storms, and maybe even taken a temporary break. But the spark of entrepreneurial passion still flickers within. Now, it's time to reignite the flames and stage a spectacular comeback.

Who doesn’t love a good comeback?

Have you ever stared at a blank canvas, yearning to express your unique artistic voice, but felt a nagging sense of "been there, done that" with your current brand identity? Welcome to the world of the Creative Craving a Brand Refresh!

Do you wear multiple hats in your business? You're the marketing guru, the client magnet, the product creator, and the fulfillment whiz. Maybe you're a freelance photographer capturing life's precious moments or a balloon artist twisting whimsical creations that spark joy. Perhaps you're an e-commerce entrepreneur with a passion for something unique, and you manage your online store with a keen eye for detail. You could even be a nail artist transforming fingertips into works of art.

Let's face it, we've all dreamt of turning that cherished hobby into a side hustle that fuels our creativity and brings home the bacon (or, perhaps, the hot honey – but more on that later). But between the initial spark of inspiration and a thriving online presence lies a vast, often confusing landscape.

I thought I’d expand on my Pinterest post I made the other day about how my analytics were so high. While it’s not a new platform, I feel like it’s often overlooked. Like have you ever scrolled through endless pictures of dream kitchens, travel destinations, and DIY crafts, only to realize you've been on Pinterest for hours? Believe it or not, this social media platform filled with inspirational visuals can be a goldmine for businesses looking to attract new customers.

Let's face it, building a website can feel overwhelming, especially for small businesses. One of the biggest concerns? Cost. Website design myths can make it seem like a luxury reserved for large corporations, leaving you wondering if a professional website is even in the cards for your growing business.
