Your vision deserves a website that works as hard as you do.
Hi there! I’m Diane Whiddon. Seventeen years ago, I started designing websites because I saw talented professionals stuck in the cycle of trading hours for dollars. What began as a mission to help consultants expand their reach grew into an agency with hundreds of clients, and eventually launched my career as a digital marketing and brand strategist.
Since then, I've taught over fifty workshops on claiming your authority, amplifying your message, and building a brand that transcends the limitations of traditional consulting. I've helped countless clients double, triple, and 10x their income by making the crucial mindset shift from service provider to recognized industry leader.
The Breakthrough I've Discovered About Scaling Your Impact:
After helping so many consultants transform their platforms, I've uncovered the fundamental shift that separates those who remain in the service-delivery hamster wheel from those who become sought-after authorities → The difference isn't about working harder or knowing more, it's about embracing two critical mindset shifts:
First, you must see yourself as the authority you truly are.
The most successful thought leaders don't just deliver excellent service—they position themselves as the voice of their industry. Your website needs to reflect this elevated positioning, showcasing not just what you do, but your unique perspective and the transformation you bring to your entire field.
Second, you must build systems that scale your expertise beyond your available hours.
True thought leaders understand that their most valuable asset—their knowledge—can be systematized, packaged, and delivered in ways that don't require their constant presence. Your digital presence should be architected to amplify your expertise, not just advertise your availability.
Your website is the cornerstone of this transformation,
working as your most powerful ambassador, establishing your authority, distributing your insights, and creating opportunities that far exceed what you could achieve in a one-to-one consulting model...
...all while positioning you as the obvious choice for those seeking the highest level of expertise in your field.
That's exactly how we elevate our clients from consultants to authorities.
We build commanding, authoritative digital platforms that break through the limitations of traditional businesses.
You'll have our strategic guidance as we work together to shift your positioning from service provider to the definitive voice in your space.
Stop undervaluing your expertise by presenting yourself as just another consultant in a crowded marketplace. That approach is keeping you small, exhausted, and constantly chasing the next client.
Instead, let's create a thought leadership platform that establishes your authority, amplifies your unique perspective, and attracts opportunities that were previously beyond your reach!
Stuff I’ve done recently:
I tend to think that certifications are overrated, but just in case you’re curious about what I know and where I learned it, here’s a small sampling of what I’ve done in the last few years. I’ve included links (aff) and pricing info if you want to check out any for yourself. (TLDR: I enjoy this stuff so much that I learn about it for fun, so I bring a ton of expertise to the table. All you have to bring is your passion for what you do & we can create strategy magic for it.)
