Purposeful Spending by Shelly Schell
“Before I worked with Diane, I felt overwhelmed and confused with how to handle tech, and I just needed the right mindset to move forward.
But working with Diane was great! There’s nothing I’d change about the experience. She made everything so simple and I love her aesthetics.
I know the landing page for my new, gorgeous financial mindset workbook will give me the opportunity to increase revenue that I did not have before.
This was a great experience. Thank you!”
Beyond the Dreamboard with Viveka von Rosen
“YOU Rock!
Diane was a referral - which is my preferred way of finding people. And can I say, she is GOLD!!!
She is the queen of under-promise and over-deliver! Setting realistic completion dates, she always came in early. She also is so responsive - I've never experienced such great customer service.
And she really seemed to “get” me. I swear she could read my mind and deliver what I didn't even know I wanted.”
She is freaking amazing. From the first call to the intake form to your amazing response time!!! Fantastic.
And what exceeded my expectations? Ummmm - like, everything :) I've already told several people about you :)”
~ Viveka von Rosen
Extra testimonials! So, in addition to Viveka giving me oodles of kudos and referrals, she loved her website so much that she had a friend record a video, too! This was amazing. Thank you so much, Viveka and Bernadette! You made my day with these!
Purple Fence Farm & Apothecary
“Simply put, Diane...! (mic drop, and walk off stage)
When I reached out to Diane I wasn’t really sure of what we needed, other than help with the website. We were getting some traffic, just no conversion, Diane jumped right in!
Right from the start Diane was professional, task oriented and most importantly (to me) she listened.
She somehow managed to create what I’ve been wanting to convey for years but couldn’t find the right way.
Her enthusiasm and knowledge far surpassed my expectations. I’m excited to continue to work with Diane as our business grows! And I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for a professional, heart centered website magician, look no further!”
National Speaker Cynthia Barnes
“Your work is AMAZING!!!! My site is gorgeous! Thank you so much.”
“If you're looking for someone to take your web design to the next level, look no further than Diane. I have had the incredible opportunity to work alongside her for the past two years, and let me tell you; she's a game changer in the world of web design.
Diane isn't just a web designer; she's a visionary. Her ability to blend stunning aesthetics with cutting-edge functionality is nothing short of genius. Every project she touches turns into digital gold. Our company’s website? It was Diane’s brainchild, and since its launch, we've seen our engagement skyrocket. That's the power of her work—measurable, impactful, and always on point.
What sets Diane apart is her unrelenting commitment to excellence and innovation. She doesn't just meet expectations; she shatters them. And her meticulous eye for detail? It ensures that every pixel is perfect, every layout is intuitive, and every user experience is top-notch.
But Diane is more than her skills and accomplishments. She's a beacon of positivity, always ready with a word of encouragement or a creative solution. Working with her doesn’t just elevate your projects—it elevates your whole team. She's the kind of leader who inspires everyone around her to push harder, reach higher, and dream bigger.
So, if you want someone who will not only deliver exceptional designs but also inspire and drive your team forward, Diane is your go-to. Trust me, bringing her on board is one of those decisions you’ll look back on as a pivotal moment for your business.”

“Before I worked with Diane, I felt overwhlemed- even though I’ve created over 150 sites (not coded but been Exec in charge) I knew nothing about creating a coaching/influencer site. I was reticent to hire someone because in the past the website folks I’ve worked with for clients were, um, less than exceptional and required constant handholding and limitless fixes.
When we started the process, I admit I was a bit put off by the "asynchronous" communications framework. It is totally opposite to how I’ve seen successful work happen. BUT - while it was unwieldy for me - you made it work so much more easily than I expected- so it was painless. 🙂
And here’s the thing. Everything exceeded my expectations. Every thing. I’ve always had to write content because writers and web people just didn’t get it.
YOU on the other hand - ARE PURE MAGIC. You took my reams of content and ideas and angles and distilled it into my vision - powerfully and with about 5% of the words I would have had to use. I’m still STUNNED by how easily and effortlessly you understood what was in my head and heart.
I get so MANY compliments on my site. And comments that reflect exactly what I envisioned- a coaching site where people feel like they came home to someone who understands. One friend used those exact words to describe their experience. YOU CAPTURED MY VISION perfectly.
You are thousands of times better than ANY web person I’ve worked with - and I've probably worked with 100 or more. OUTSTANDING and a HIDDEN GEM!”
Align Therapy and Consultation by Crystal Hines, LPC
“Before I worked with Diane, I was anxious to clean up and enhance my existing website. Knowing that I took it as far as I wanted to go on my own but not quite having it where I wanted was taking up energetic space in my brain and body.
When I went through my business divorce, I also lost my main website support/coach/marketing person who I really liked. So I was a little hesitant to start over with someone new.
But, there’s nothing I would have changed about working Diane! I loved every bit of it.
I loved the loom videos and vox messages- it made things really easy to do at my own pace and I could see and understand the progress that was being made as it was happening. I also love the Website Resources page she built for me on my website and the Sendoff Packet that wrapped up our work together.
My online calendar system and ease of use for clients is already getting me new leads.
I also feel more confident in sharing my website now that the edits have been made. I am looking forward to growing my email list and SEO after launching my freebie.
Overall, I love your clear, authentic, and direct approach to the work you provide! I've already recommended you to several friends/colleagues.”
Diane is Awesome, fun, generous, fair, and a creative maven.
“When I came to Diane, my website needed a freshening up. I wanted better SEO, and in particular, a clear invitational path for folks to follow to connect with me.
I loved how much fun we had creating together - how effective and spot-on she was with "getting me" my energy, and my message. The re-vitalizing, re-purposing, and creative embellishments she contributed to my site were amazing.
She took what I had and breathed new Life and energy into every page!
She gave many gifts straight from her heart and her desire to "really make my site shine!" showed in everything we did together. As we worked through each page, I was excited and then delighted to see what she came up with.
There are numerous other ways - big & small - she went beyond my expectations. I’m not surprised... just grateful. Thank you, Thank you Diane! I am so grateful for you and for your creative collaboration!
I’m proud and excited for my new website to represent me out in the world and provide folks a clear and warm invitation to join me on this journey.”
Light & Dark Acupuncture
“Before I came to Diane, I wanted a website that was very clear, something that would help people understand the many services we offer and what we’re about. Because I wanted CLARITY around my mission and vision, I knew that Diane had the medicine I needed right now.
I LOVE my new website! It got done very, very quickly. When I gave Diane feedback, it got clarified and implemented immediately. She created such a clear and specific website for my needs.
It has solved many challenges in my practice, it has reduced the amount of work I need to do to get clients and it's absolutely beautiful.
If I had half the website skills Diane has, I would have built the SAME website myself, but instead of having to spend hours figuring out how to do it myself, I communicated the vision to Diane, she listened and clarified what I meant... and then she built the exact website I was dreaming up.
I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a clear, beautiful website for their site visitors. She helped me get to the bottom of what I needed in both my business and my website, and I can’t wait to see our SEO results!”

AI Photoshoots:
Designer Megan Desjarlais
BEFORE
Megan wanted a few new headshots for her website relaunch, so we started with a couple of selfies.
AFTER
Then, we held her “shoot” in an A-designed modern home office that was perfect for her aesthetic, and a lovely AI neighborhood coffee shop.
Crystal Hines, LPC
BEFORE
Crystal needed new photos for an upcoming speaking gig. There was just one problem, she was 8 months pregnant! Not the best time for a photoshoot!
AFTER
But, AI doesn’t care about that, so we did a professional photoshoot, with a trip to Red Rocks, got some perfect headshots for her upcoming gigs, and even had time for a few creative ones.
Some More Nice Things …

Diane is an accomplished web creator, designer and brand ambassador. I began working with Diane through a referal from a good friend. I am delighted and very impressed by her expertise and knowledge of all things web-based and more.
Diane’s business demeanor is warm and supportive. I recommend her for anything from building you a fully completed website to just making sure your website is streamlined and performing at its best.
I have only been working with Diane on my website for a few short months. I am confident in allowing you to check out the work she has accomplished on my website.

I cannot say enough great things about Diane Whiddon!
She’s a genius and strategist when it comes to websites and all things marketing.
The process was extremely collaborative and educational. Not only did I learn so much, but she patiently listened to and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone!
~ Author Jen Maitlen
You really helped me find the little gold ember in my heart, and bring it out in my copy.
THAT is so valuable…. I now know WHO I am talking to, and WHY I bother talking in the first place. You helped me step into my ideal client’s skin, and experience her pain and longing. Now I know why my work is so important, and it’s easy for me to convey in my writing and my speaking.
Every time I write new copy or create a new product, I go back to my notes from our meeting and get super clear on what my purpose is. Your support and encouragement throughout this growth process has been absolutely vital, and if I could grab every single one of my entrepreneur friends into your office, I would.
~ Lily Calfee, Ideal Nourishment
Diane has been the most influential ingredient in bringing my business to life.
Her ability to pinpoint what has been in the way, and assist me in removing it, is uncanny. It is second only to her innate skill in creating space for me to discover a vision of my work in the world that is clear, real and truly …Me.
With her guidance I have made more progress and experienced more success than the previous 10 years I’ve been in business. It is her genuine passion and commitment to my success that makes her so good. Our coaching group recently dubbed Diane, “The Business Doula.” She has a very unique ability to help bring forth healthy vibrant and flourishing businesses!
If you really want to do your thing – to love it and succeed, Diane is the rock star you need.
~ Stef Swink, Coach and Licensed Spiritual Practitioner
"Diane’s initial website questionnaire was impressive … and it clarified what I want, and the vision for my site. The results:
the process was a pleasure, the response to my needs (including panic attacks) was swift and decisive, and the site is what I envisioned both in graphics, layout, and strategy.
It is a site that reflects me and my writing, and that is what a website for an author is all about. I have received nothing but kudos."
~ author Adriana Renescu
“Diane Whiddon is an intuitive designer. It was as if she were running around in my head finding things I didn’t even know were there. Excellent work!”
~ Justin Holley
I am so grateful for Diane… The information I uncovered from working with her is like a well of inspiration and clarity that I can always come back to when I feel challenged by the entrepreneurial path.
I’m clear on the services I offer, and the exact clients I am seeking. This helped me formulate my marketing messages, my website content, and how I speak to potential clients about what I do.
I recommend Diane’s work to every entrepreneur that I know.
- Alexandra Davis
Diane has helped me focus my brand, so I can attract more of the clients I enjoy working with.
Diane's positive energy and genuine love of helping people has made working with her absolutely amazing!
~ Elise, Fitness & Nutrition by Elise
I have grown leaps and bounds as an entrepreneur from her workshops and my company has taken huge turns of success.
I began my journey with Diane with an SEO workshop. She gave such great information in this class that I was excited to do the rest. I look forward every month to learning more, not just about my website presence but about me!
None of this would be possible without her encouragement and knowledge. Talk about setting you up for success. I highly recommend anything she does! I cannot wait to continue my growth with Diane!
~ Photographer Erin Barajas
The nugget of what you do is “motivational inspiration” cloaked in website design and internet savvy. I feel so blessed to have found your work.
~ Barbra Fang Babcock
Gosh Diane! I want you to know that you are quite Brilliant!!
I am so in love with how you tune in, see clearly, and verbalize impeccably about what works and what doesn't. You truly impress me and I thank you for your insights from the bottom of my heart. I feel so trusting and safe with your recommendations ...
~ Author Julie Tara
“The best thing about working with Diane is not her amazing artistic talent. That's just what draws you in.
And it's not her bottom-line-focused business sense - although that's what makes it so easy to work with her and stay focused.
No, the best thing about working with Diane is that she is professional, calm under a crisis (and revamping a website can easily feel like a crisis), and able to bring my vision for my site into reality! She is an absolute gem in the web design world!"
~Jennifer P.
A Bit of Nostalgia:
Here are a few examples of WordPress websites I built back in the day, just for fun.
It all started with websites for writers …
This was one of my first (and favorite!) sites. I loved working with this client. She wrote everything from screenplays to erotica, so the idea of looking down at her desk, rather than promoting a particular genre, really worked. I even remember asking her how she took her coffee and trying to replicate it.
“Diane Whiddon did a great job on my website. I’d recommend her without reservations. She’s a clear communicator, conscientious, and very intuitive—which helps with all that nebulous touchy-feely, branding, and image stuff that us word-people don’t always enjoy. More than once she’s gone out of her way to finesse or tweak something that she felt wasn’t up to standards—without my even needing to mention it.”
– author J. Wachowski
Pirates, Ghosts, and Political Intrigue …
I had SO much fun building websites for fiction authors.
This is how I got my start seventeen years ago. I also created book covers, bookmarks, and even some book trailers!
My stock image searches were for things like “demon spells” and “espionage tools” and my Google searches were for things like, “How does blood splatter?” and “Where do pirates live?” My life was cool. I’ll always be grateful that that’s how I got my start.
Eventually, as my business grew, I began designing more websites for coaches and wellness practitioners. My knack for designing websites that ‘felt’ like an author’s writing made me a natural for designing websites that made the most of my clients’ uniqueness and helped them stand out and sell more to their idea clients.
Combining that design skill with my marketing experience has made me a powerful partner for healers and coaches who want to build a stellar online presence.
