Do This Before Starting a Website | New Podcast Episode


Hi Reader,

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if I could whip them up a website in a couple of days. Well, I'd have more dollars than I have today that's for sure.

The thing is, I can as long as there are a few things in place first to actually make it worth the time and effort so it works for you and your business.

Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever had someone ask me this and actually have these 4 things ready. So this is what today's podcast episode is all about 4 things you need BEFORE building a website.

It doesn't matter what platform you will be using, all websites need their foundations set.

This website is for anyone thinking about building a website. It's also a great checklist for anyone who has an existing website and wants to make sure they have their foundations set up.

Retreats are such a hot topic lately and so many yoga teachers I've been talking to lately incorporate some version of a retreat into their offers suite to help them earn a sustainable income and live as a full-time yoga teacher.

🌍 What does it take to successfully lead an international retreat?

💰 How can I make it a profitable project?

🏝️ What venue and destination should I choose?

📣 How do I promote and sell it?

Hi! I'm a Showit Website Designer & Host of The All Mats Taken Podcast for Yoga Teachers

I’m Adrianne, a web designer in NZ with way too many yoga mats, loads of strategy and a whole lot of heart. I began Jerrett Digital Website Design & The All Mats Taken Podcast because I saw so many yoga teachers and wellness brands leaving money on the table. Their brands and websites looked good, but had no strategy, no intuitive user experience, and no obvious pathway to conversion. In my newsletter, podcast and through online events I help teach yoga teachers and wellness professionals grow their online presence and build their businesses with strategy and heart their way.

Hey Reader, The All Mats Taken Summit speaker lineup is finally ready to share, and I am seriously pinching myself about the incredible experts who’ve agreed to join us! I’ve carefully selected teachers, business mentors, and marketing specialists who understand the unique challenges we face as yoga teachers—people who won’t just tell you to “hustle harder” or use tactics that feel misaligned with yogic values. Here’s just a glimpse of who you’ll be learning from May 15-18: DAY 1: MINDSET &...

Hi Reader, I’ll be honest (and you may have already heard me say this) but Instagram…scratch that…social media is not my favorite place to be. It’s just not how I spend my time naturally. I'm aging myself somewhat saying this but I didn't grow up with it. Facebook only came to be a thing for us in my late teens and I didn't have a smart phone till my mid-twenties (I was a late adopter however). I just never really got the hang of it personally so it's a challenge to force myself...

Hi Reader, Business and marketing has been an ongoing fascination for me. It doesn't come naturally like some other things. This is one reason I started this community. I'm not a business coach, expert, or guru. I'm a brand/website designer and newbie yoga teacher/educator. I've got questions and like you, I’m seeking the answers. This week I came across a local retreat seeking yoga teachers and other holistic wellness professionals. It sounds like a great opportunity but I've never taught...
