☆ TESTIMONIALS

"Isobelle was approachable and so easy to work with. After our initial consultation I felt so comfortable collaborating with her and entrusting her with this important element of my business. She really listened to my desires for the aesthetic and functionality of the website, and met my brief to a T. For the things I wasn't sure about, she was open to providing options. All of it aligned so well with what I had intended, sometimes it was like she was reading my mind! The design process was efficient and worked with my feedback to develop something that I was very happy with. Thank you so much!" - Sarah ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I knew I wanted a website that would be fun and engaging for a young audience. I am so grateful to have found Isobelle. She not only made my website fit my audience, she refined it and organized it so it's fun and incorporates my own artwork while maintaining all the professional touches of a real website. I definitely recommend Isobelle's services for all your website needs." - Catherine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I loved working with Isobelle on my website, and her clear, calm and collaborative approach was just what a natural technophobe like me needed! I'm thrilled with the finished result and would highly recommend her services." - Amy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Work experience

Self-employed

Aug, 2019 — Present
I started my freelance editing and coaching business in 2019, and in 2023 expanded my service suite to include website design - though I was building websites long before that. Now, I have 6 years of Squarespace web design experience. I work collaboratively with authors and editors to craft beautiful, functional websites that attract new customers, sell to their audience, and promote their products.

Projects

The editor was seeking a calm colour palette and a display that was both fun and professional. Through soft pastels, a bold font, and fun layouts, I created a website that reflected her friendly style.

Brooklyn Rose, romance author

I designed this soft, feminine website for romance writer Brooklyn Rose. She wanted something that was clean, modern, and relaxed, which was achieved through a soft colour palette and fun layout.

Amy Orrell, multi-genre author

Amy Orrell is a multi-genre author of science fiction, fantasy, thriller and romantic comedy. She wanted a website that spoke to all those genres and reflected her warm, bubbly personality. Amy also wanted simplicity in style and layout to keep the website easy to navigate.

I built the website to my editing, coaching and website design business - Inspired Creative Co. - which features earthy tones, modern text, and a clean layout.

X Zombie, Middle Grade fantasy author

This Middle Grade author wanted a website specific to her zombie fantasy series. Her website includes her own original artwork as well as an interactive map of her fantasy world, perfect for her younger readers.
