Creative Solopreneur Podcast: Naomi Niles

Naomi Niles from Intuitive Designs

In this fifth episode of the Creative Solopreneur Podcast, I’m chatting with the lovely Naomi Niles, one-half of the design prowess behind the custom website and illustration agency Intuitive Designs {the other half is Naomi’s husband, Koldo Barroso, who didn’t participate in this interview but was with us in spirit.} Intuitive Designs creates custom websites from the wireframe out — never using templates or themes — and their client base is made up of businesses and organizations who are already through the beginner phase of their journey. {Listen in and you’ll hear why.}

Here are two highly trafficked sites from Intuitive Designs’ portfolio, as mentioned in the podcast intro:

• Alexis Neely’s site, Life, Business, and the Pursuit of Truth
• Naomi Dunford’s site, IttyBiz

And here are two of Naomi’s latest creations, which can help creative solopreneurs with their own businesses:

• Filtering & Attracting Your Right Clients and Projects — Naomi’s latest e-Guide for designers, which I found perfectly suited to my business as a copywriter and recommend to all creative service professionals {psst…it’s just $7!}. And yep, that’s my affiliate link up there.
• Conversion Rate Optimization — Naomi’s latest service, which helps people turn more of their site visitors into buyers.

Listen in as Naomi reveals:

how long it takes for site visitors to form an impression of your website; when it’s the right time to invest in a custom website; the most crucial question she asks her clients to tap into their desired brand identity; the challenges of attracting your right clients and projects; how she structures her creative workday, and the secret to a good creative partnership.
