In today’s hyperconnected world, your online presence isn’t just a complement to your personal or professional identity - it is your identity.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a thought leader, or a professional seeking new opportunities, the narrative people encounter when they search for your name or brand online plays a pivotal role in shaping their perception of you.
Personal branding is no longer a luxury reserved for influencers or celebrities. It’s an essential strategy for anyone looking to establish authority, build trust, and showcase their unique value in their field. At the heart of any strong personal brand is a professional, well-crafted website.
This digital hub serves as the central piece of your online presence, offering a curated, authentic narrative that reflects who you are and what you stand for.
For many professionals, the challenge lies in creating a website that not only looks polished but also communicates their story in a way that resonates with their audience.
Without a clear and compelling digital narrative, you risk leaving your reputation to chance—relying on fragmented social media profiles or outdated pages that don’t reflect your current achievements.
This case study explores how Vision Marketing collaborated with Ryan O'Keeffe (Founder, Father & People Promoter - Passionate about Developing Authentic Leaders with Emotional Intelligence) to transform their outdated website into a powerful personal branding platform.
By harnessing the flexibility of the Wix Studio platform and embracing a collaborative, sprint-based design process, we created a website that captures their essence and positions them as a trusted authority in their field.
Read on to discover how we helped our client control their narrative, enhance their online presence, and turn their personal brand into a compelling digital asset.
Client Profile
Our client, a professional looking to establish a strong personal brand, approached Vision Marketing with the goal of revitalizing their outdated website. They wanted a modern platform that would reflect their current expertise and position as a trusted authority, speaker, and advisor in their field.
The Challenge
The client's existing website was outdated and no longer aligned with their personal brand. They needed a new, polished website that would serve as a central hub for their online presence and provide visitors with a comprehensive understanding of who they are and what they offer. The client emphasized the importance of a quick turnaround without compromising on quality or functionality.
Why Vision Marketing?
The client chose Vision Marketing based on several key factors:
Wix Expertise:
Our deep knowledge of the Wix platform meant we could deliver a streamlined and efficient design process.
Proven Reputation: The client was impressed by our history of creating high-quality websites, particularly in building sites for individuals and businesses with a focus on personal branding.
Personalized Approach: Our willingness to explore a collaborative, in-person process set us apart.
The Process
We adopted a sprint-style approach that allowed for efficient and iterative development. This process unfolded as follows:
Initial Consultation and Planning:
The client and our lead designer, Maciej Konarzewski, spent two in-person sessions discussing the website’s structure, design elements, and content placement.
This hands-on collaboration enabled the client to directly influence the site’s aesthetic and functionality while ensuring alignment with their personal brand vision.
Content Integration:
With an abundance of existing content, we worked closely with the client to identify and repurpose key elements for the website. This step was crucial for shaping a cohesive narrative across the site.
Live Design and Iteration: The in-person sessions provided an opportunity to see the website evolve in real time. By working directly with the client, we could implement feedback immediately, ensuring a faster and more accurate build.
Final Refinements and Launch: After a few weeks of focused collaboration and additional refinements online, the website was completed. The site was launched on the client’s domain, www.lionickie.co.uk, and integrated into their LinkedIn profile and email sign-offs to enhance visibility and professionalism.
The Results
The new website is a modern, dynamic representation of the client’s personal brand, delivering on all key objectives:
Enhanced Online Presence: Visitors can now gain a deeper understanding of the client’s expertise and credibility.
Professional Branding: The website serves as a central piece for personal branding, positioning the client as a trusted advisor and speaker.
Fast Turnaround: The collaborative, sprint-style approach enabled us to deliver the website in record time.
Client Feedback The client expressed their satisfaction with both the process and the final product:
“I enjoyed seeing the website take shape in a live environment. The sprint process was really good and allowed us to complete the website in record time. I’m thrilled with how quickly we turned it around and how effectively it reflects my personal brand.”
