BRAND DESIGN · WEB DESIGN · GRAPHIC DESIGN​

A dynamic corporate speaker and coach who needed a cohesive online presence that could serve both her corporate speaking clients and her individual coaching audience without diluting her authentic voice.

The Challenge

Carol’s website no longer reflected the level of work she was doing. She had recently invested in a new logo and brand colors with another designer, but her website itself was outdated, cluttered, and working against her growth.

 

Behind the scenes, things felt heavy and disconnected:

  • Managing two separate platforms

    • A main site on WordPress

    • A secondary Squarespace site for selling her book and programs

  • She was paying for tools and platforms she didn’t actually need
  • Her existing website didn’t clearly differentiate between her two target audiences
  • Broken links and outdated content
  • A non-functioning quiz plugin that wasn’t capturing leads properly
  • A brand identity she’d invested heavily in but wasn’t fully loving


While her logo and color palette had potential, the overall experience lacked clarity, cohesion, and strategic direction.

The Approach

We scrapped the entire existing website and rebuilt it from the ground up.

Instead of reinventing her brand, we honored the foundation she had already invested in while refining and elevating it to work in a real world, scalable way.

Our approach focused on:

  • Rebuilding the site architecture with a clear, intuitive sitemap

  • Designing a brand new WordPress website from scratch

  • Refining her existing logo usage and color palette to feel more modern, cohesive, and intentional

  • Creating a visual system that balanced corporate credibility with warmth and personality

  • Streamlining everything into one WordPress platform

  • Simplifying her tech stack and consolidating email marketing into Zoho

  • Designing clear pathways for speaking, coaching, and the Brave Initiative

Post launch, we extended the work with a Mini VIP Intensive to create supporting brand assets, including:

  • LinkedIn cover banners

  • LinkedIn newsletter cover images

  • Blog post cover templates

  • Instagram post and story templates

This ensured her website wasn’t just beautiful but fully integrated into how she shows up online.

The Outcome

The result was a completely rebuilt website that finally matched Carol’s leadership, confidence, and clarity. She now has:

  • A modern, strategic website built from scratch

  • A refined brand system using her existing logo and colors in a more elevated way

  • One streamlined platform instead of multiple disconnected sites

  • A simplified tech stack that’s easier to manage and maintain

  • Brand assets that support consistent content creation

  • A digital home she feels proud to share with both corporate and women focused audiences

CAROL's Experience

“Working with Fifa and FeiModern was nothing short of exceptional. From our very first conversation to the final website launch, she brought a rare blend of creativity, professionalism, and relentless dedication to the table.

Fifa took the time to truly understand my vision—and then elevated it beyond what I imagined possible. Her work ethic is second to none, and she went above and beyond at every stage to ensure every detail felt aligned, intentional, and beautifully executed.

Her design talent is undeniable, but it’s her ability to translate ideas into an online presence that feels both powerful and personal that sets her apart. The result? A stunning website I’m genuinely proud of.

If you’re looking for someone who’s not only wildly talented but deeply invested in bringing your brand to life—run, don’t walk. Fifa is it.”
