Scope
Rachel Simmons is an author, educator and coach helping girls and young women grow into authentic, emotionally intelligent and assertive adults. Our goal for this project was to expand on the identity and vision developed earlier in this project to design and develop a completely new online presence for Rachel Simmons. She wanted a bold, modern look with a strong yet approachable feminine edge but without being too “girly.”
Rachel’s previous site was a static “brochure” website that was difficult for her to update and offered little opportunity for interaction with her audience. We developed this new website using WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System) with significantly expanded features. Rachel’s new site has 2 blogs, custom feeds for videos, GirlTips and news, event listings, a Twitter feed, photo gallery and more. Commenting is enabled throughout to allow visitors to interact with Rachel directly about her content.
This website was coordinated to launch alongside the release of her new book and related book tour, so we included features such as a book tour section, “buy this book now” links and book advertising throughout the site. We’re pleased that the launch of this website has garnered such a positive response from Rachel’s audience.
