Independent Celebrant of Baby Namings, Weddings & Funerals. Beverley, Yorkshire.

Introduction –  Services – Blog

Harriet…..

This was my third website venture with Helen Davies.

The first was in support of her work as a Funeral Celebrant and the second was a replacement for her highly successful wedding planning business. It’s been great watching the journey Helen has been on and see here formally expanding her celebrancy services to baby naming and weddings. These were services that she already offered but weren’t properly represented online.

Helen is hugely driven, focussed and always has a clear idea on what she wants, though I think she’ll agree I’ve always found suggestions that she’s been happy to incorporate.

My main concern on this site was to give her three distinct services equal focus without detracting from each other. To this end we settled on a combined home / about page and the services in life order. By setting the menu to one side (on the PC view) it keeps them very much in focus as her priority.

I know she’s already had great feedback and her blog is already being widely shared as a great resource for couples planning their forthcoming events. I wish Helen all the best, she’s already shining bright in her venture and she’s making lots of people very happy and supported.

Based on my recent experience of working with Harriet, my advice to anyone wishing to polish, refine or reinvigorate a business proposition or idea, speak to Harriet.

Her ability to redesign or create a website and customer contact strategy which is truly reflective of you and the quality of your offering and which, most importantly, resonates with the clients you are aiming to attract, means you should look no further than The Business Whisperer.

She listens….. intently…… she challenges….. if necessary, and as a result…..she delivers.

I’m proud to say that I’ve partnered with her on no less than three exciting projects and would return to her again in a heartbeat.

Harriet…..

Helen is the consummate professional with a very clear idea of the content and feel that she wished for her website. My role was simply to tinker and refine a little and create a polished, understated website, clearly setting out her approach. The service provided is entirely personal so the site serves effectively as a landing page, reference page for clients to see before a personal consultation. The brief was for a clean cut, understated, timeless look. Professional and respectful but friendly at the same time.

As with all websites, there are changes afoot planned for the future and a blog is queued and ready to appear in due course. Squarespace provides a stable, simple and easy to use platform for Helen to use that she can depend on as she focuses on her clients.

Helen is fully in control of the website now, though I’m always here if she needs me for support, or simply if she’s too short of time to make any additions or changes she wants.

Helen…..

“In the midst of Summer 2020 as the world was gripped by the Coronavirus pandemic, which had a profound effect on my wedding planning business, I approached Harriet with an idea. Despite having trained as an Independent Celebrant many years ago, I had actually done very little to market my services. Prospective clients found me through referrals and because the majority of my business came from word-of-mouth recommendations, I hadn’t had to invest a great deal of time or money into advertising.

Having rescheduled all but three of 26 weddings which were scheduled to take place between April and September 2020 and with a determination to continue being of service, I decided to launch a new business. As The Yorkshire Funeral Celebrant I create and deliver meaningful and memorable funeral tributes which are bespoke and personal in nature. As such, I needed a relatively simple website to convey a very sensitive message.

Although I had quite a clear vision of the overall look and feel of the site in mind and an understanding of what would resonate with my target market, I needed support in bringing all of these ideas together as succinctly as possible. This is where Harriet’s approach became invaluable. She doesn’t just design websites… she seeks to understand the value you are able to offer – the magic thing that makes your proposition unique – and translates this into something which is priceless from your potential customers’ perspective.

The results speak for themselves, since the launch of my website, business has grown tenfold. Thank you Harriet for enabling me to help so many more people at a time when they need it most!”
