Blog | ARETESA | Brand & Website Design

ARETESA (ah-reh-TAY-sah): The union of Arete (Greek: excellence; the pursuit of one’s highest potential) and Ascesa (Italian: ascent; the act of rising). Not just a word. A state of becoming. For the ones ready to lead themselves, raise the bar over and over again, defy logic, defy limits, and create results faster than anyone thinks possible.

This might feel impossible right now…but if your website did even 10% of what it should…

You’d be building more freedom in your business long-term.

To make that happen, your website needs 3 things:

1. Positioning that sells premium. Listing services is not premium positioning. Selling the outcome of your work is (more clients, more income, more freedom, more authority). Premium clients don’t pay for deliverables, they pay for the transformation

2. Attention that converts. A website without strategy is just decoration. Design that grabs, holds, and directs attention = action (click, apply, buy).

3. A built-in sales system. If your site isn’t moving people 90% of the way to a yes, you’re leaving money on the table. A high-converting site weeds out the wrong people and magnetizes the right ones because best websites make the decision feel inevitable before you ever get on a call

This is what I build for my clients.

Because if your website isn’t closing sales for you, then one (or all) of these is broken.

And you can keep running your business on a site that looks “fine.”
Or you can fix it with a premium, conversion-focused website that actually makes you money.

There is NOTHING I love more than taking your old website and completely transforming it.

The kind of site you’re embarrassed to send out…
The one that feels “fine” but never actually sells…
The one built on that cheap $500 template that was never designed for high-ticket clients or building wealth and your legacy.

Because here’s the truth →
Your website isn’t supposed to just look good.
It’s supposed to make you money & stack sales.

A premium site does 3 things:
✨ Positions you as the only choice in your industry
✨ Makes premium buyers feel certain the second they land
✨ Closes sales before you ever get on the call

That’s what happens when your website stops playing it safe and starts selling like the powerhouse you already are.

So no, we’re not slapping on new colors or fonts.
We’re rebuilding your digital home so it matches the entrepreneur, the leader, the CEO you’ve become and the wealth and legacy you want to create.

And when that transformation happens?
You’ll never cringe hitting “send my site” again.
You’ll send it knowing it’s already doing the selling for you.

Cheers to that 😉🥂

Here is what I WISH someone would have told me when I was just starting out wayyy back in 2014 online.

P.S.… I Wouldn’t Start Where You Think

Step 1: Stop chasing “more” and start chasing necessary
Most people assume passive income = lots of products, lots of funnels, lots of chaos.
Truth: it’s not about more. It’s about the one win your audience is already desperate for.
That’s where I’d begin.

Step 2: Build the pre-decision product
I wouldn’t choose a random idea that “sounds good.”
I’d ask: What must someone believe or experience before they’re ready to pay me high-ticket?
That becomes the product. It’s not content—it’s a stepping stone.

Step 3: Let it shift the lens, not just add value
Information doesn’t sell. Transformation does.
So my product wouldn’t just “teach.” It would make buyers think:
→ If this is the baseline, her premium offer must be next-level.

Step 4: Put the system to work, not myself
I wouldn’t tether it to launches or promotions.
Instead, I’d build a clean, persuasive sales page, plug it into my website, and let it sell quietly—on repeat—while I live my life.

Step 5: Use it as a filter, not just a payout
Every buyer isn’t just a $27 or $47 sale.
They’re proof: they got a win, they trust me, they’re primed.
Which means they’re 10x more likely to step into my higher-ticket world.

This isn’t about “cute little passive sales.”
It’s about engineering strategic income that compounds—income that grows your bank account and your client pipeline at the same time.

👉 If that’s the kind of income you want, not the $7-and-done kind, comment PRIME and I’ll show you how to set this up inside your own website.

Forever is composed of nows. ✨

When I became a mom at 24, everyone had an opinion.
“You’ll have to put your dreams on hold.”
“It’ll be harder for you to do big things now.”

But now, as a Mom of 4, here’s what I’ve learned:

Life doesn’t pause for you to go chase your dreams.

Your dreams have to live in the messy middle — in the car rides between activities, in the late nights when everyone’s asleep, in the early mornings before the house wakes up.

For me, building my business is never about “waiting for the right time.”

It was about making the most of each “now” — even if it was 20 minutes while a baby napped or sending a client proposal from the hockey rink parking lot.

And you know what? Those little nows stacked up.
They became websites launched, brands built, clients served, and a life I love — all without missing the moments that matter most.

You don’t have to wait for life to get calmer, easier, or more perfect.
You just have to start where you are… because forever really is made up of the choices you make in each now. 💛

If your website was actually doing its job…
you wouldn’t be stuck explaining what you do in every DM.

You wouldn’t be answering the same questions over and over.
You wouldn’t be losing leads because people are confused about what you offer.

Because a website that’s built to sell? It does the heavy lifting for you.

✨ It makes it crystal clear who you are and what you do.
✨ It positions you as the go-to expert before they even talk to you.
✨ It guides visitors straight to the ‘yes’—without you having to chase.

So if your website isn’t doing that? It’s not working.

And no, it’s not because you need more traffic.
It’s because when people land on your site, they’re not getting what they need to take action.

🚩 The messaging is vague.
🚩 The layout is confusing.
🚩 There’s no clear path to booking or buying.

They shouldn’t have to DM you just to understand what you do.
Your website should do the talking.

Because the businesses that scale? They don’t waste time explaining themselves.
They attract. They convert. They move.

If you’re ready for a website that actually works—
📩 DM us FIRST CLASS and let’s build it right.

Okay, bestie, let’s have a real talk over some virtual margaritas. 🍹 You didn’t start your business to spend all your time chasing clients, cranking out endless content, and feeling like your income is tied to how many hours you can work in a day.

Yet, here we are—because your website isn’t pulling its weight.

Most entrepreneurs think that once they have a website, the sales will start rolling in. Wrong.

They throw up their 1:1 services, maybe slap on a digital product, and then… crickets. So they panic-post on social media, hoping more traffic will fix the problem. Also wrong.

Because here’s the truth: Traffic doesn’t matter if your website isn’t built to convert.

If your website isn’t selling your 1:1 services and bringing in passive income with digital products, you’re leaving serious money on the table.

So, let’s fix that.

🌟 Sell more than just your time. If you’re only offering 1:1 services, your income is capped by your availability. But when you add digital products to your site? You start making money in your sleep. Your website becomes more than a business card—it becomes an income stream.

The goal? A website that does the selling for you—so you can actually live your life instead of being glued to your business 24/7.

And this is exactly what I teach inside Overflow: The Passive Income Accelerator—how to make your website your hardest-working employee so it brings in both clients AND passive income (without you manually selling every day).

Or DM me to work together to create your built-to-sell website!

Cheers!
Jess

Here’s a little secret about human decision-making: we don’t buy with logic; we buy with emotion. Neuroscience has proven that the part of our brain responsible for feelings drives the majority of our choices, and only later does the rational side come in to justify those decisions.

For premium clients, this emotional connection is everything. They’re not just investing in a service—they’re investing in a feeling, in an experience and in a result:
• Confidence that you’re the best choice.
• Excitement about the transformation you’ll create.
• Trust that you’ll deliver on your promise, and then some.

The question is: how do you spark those feelings in your clients?

Is your website turning your perfect fit dream clients away?

A link in bio or a checkout page alone won’t cut it if you’re building your business for the long term.

Your website is meant to work for you, 24/7.
But if it’s outdated, hard to navigate, or not aligned with your current offers, it’s doing more harm than good.

Think about it:
When you book a vacation, the first thing you do is check the hotel’s website. You’re looking for:
➡️ Updated pricing
➡️ Clear info on what’s included
➡️ Easy navigation to get all your questions answered

You trust the website to act as your guide, your salesperson, your go-to resource.

Now, if your website isn’t doing the same for your clients, you’re losing out on opportunities.

A well-built website doesn’t just look good—it converts.
It:
✔️ Reflects your current offers, pricing, and reputation.
✔️ Has all the information your leads need to make a decision.
✔️ Delivers a seamless user experience that guides people through your sales funnel effortlessly.
✔️ Works when you’re not promoting, answering questions, or even online.

Your website is that crucial. If it’s not working like a 24/7 salesperson, it’s time for an upgrade.

A creative, converting website is one of the best investments you can make for your business—and it will boost your revenue.

Ready for a website that does more than just sit there? Let’s make it happen!

This is your year 💙

#femaleentrepreneur #motherhood #momsinbusiness #motherhoodrising

One of those make you feel a little “happy go lucky”kinda logos 😍

You’ve mastered your craft.
You’re delivering results.
You’ve built a business that’s thriving.

But if your website isn’t working as hard as you are, you’re leaving growth—and money—on the table.

Here’s the truth:

➡️ If your website is outdated or unclear, it’s costing you trust.
First impressions matter. Clients need to feel confident that you’re the one before they ever reach out.

➡️ If your website doesn’t showcase your expertise, it’s underselling you.
Your work is high-caliber, and your website should reflect that. Anything less creates a disconnect.

➡️ If your website isn’t converting, it’s just sitting there.
A website isn’t just a placeholder—it’s your 24/7 sales partner. And if it’s not bringing in clients, it’s time for an upgrade.

You’ve already built something amazing. Now it’s time for your website to amplify everything you’ve achieved.

The right website doesn’t just look good—it works for you. It:
✔️ Builds trust and credibility at first glance.
✔️ Communicates your value effortlessly.
✔️ Guides the right clients straight to you.

If your website isn’t pulling its weight, it’s the missing piece standing between where you are and where you want to be.

You’re ready for the next level. Let’s make your website reflect it.

Cheers,
Jess
