Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Gill.
Hi Michelle, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
After I graduated from Roanoke College, I worked as a fundraiser and event planner. I planned events across Virginia and Florida. Building websites became an asset in marketing the nonprofits or the special events so I taught myself. I have since changed to more complex tools in web design and have narrowed my business to mainly websites. I love planning events and traveling but it takes up alot of time. I am still available for event consulting and who knows I may get back into conference and retreat planning. There is a great need for detail oriented and experienced planners.
Designing a business’s internet home takes alot of the same skills as event planning. I listen to the client’s vision, organize their content, and create a place for their customers to visit and get to know their business.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Of course finding a consistent flow of business can be challenging. You may question yourself, am I doing the right thing working for myself? I have found if you give a little more than 100% and stay commited to your clients, they cannot wait to recommend you.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I think I am known most for my client relationships. All my business comes from word of mouth with an occassional lead from Wix. I used to specialize in author sites only but I have found I love working with entrepreneurs. I used to do alot of work with political campaigns so I love honing a message. Give me your story and your dreams and let me design it visually.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Conversation, good conversation, is becoming a lost art. If there is anything I would recommend to young people is to learn how to have a good conversation and listen and truly be interested in people. Your sincerity and your interest will draw people to you and bring you trustworthy clients.
