And whether the impact you’re making is for your team, your clients, your community, or the world, there’s no doubt that you’re creating something special and profound with your business.
You’re doing work worth doing, and what you’ve built is beautiful — even if this may not be the first word you’d use to describe it. (Trust me, it IS beautiful!)
The problem is… Your website and branding don’t reflect that incredible impact and beauty.
This could be the result of cobbled-together designs from over the years. It could be from trying to build things yourself to save time and money (no judgment here!).
Of course, it might also be because you’ve struggled to find someone you really trust to work creatively with your brand.
I know you’ve heard the horror stories of website projects that span weeks, months, or even years (UGH!), but that’s not how I do things around here.
I’ve always been known by my clients to be creative, friendly, and fun. But with my VIP Intensive model, I’m able to give my two greatest designer superpowers — my sincere desire for collaboration with my clients AND my ability to work quickly and efficiently — a turbo boost!
Seriously, at the end of just one or two days, you’re going to walk away with a refreshed brand, a new website, or a punch list completed. PLUS, you’ll also have a revitalized spirit that’s ready to continue taking on the world!
During a VIP Intensive, we can work on your website, visuals, brand integrations, or Canva templates for your social platforms — basically, anything to do with your brand and how you show up online.
In this day-long intensive, I create a style guide that reflects your unique tone of voice and personality and does justice to your beautiful business. You’ll love using it on the regular to keep your branding consistent across all channels.
A style guide ensures that no matter who is crafting your content, all of your communications are on point AND on brand. In this day-long intensive, I create a style guide that reflects your unique tone of voice and personality and does justice to your business.

Hi, I’m Lara Kroeker — a designer with over 20 years of experience crafting beautiful, functional websites!
I’ve worked with brands around the world and across many industries — building sites for products, films, and TV series; e-commerce sites for clothing designers, stores, and record labels; and social impact sites for climate change and human rights projects.
In addition to working with businesses around the world, I also love traveling the world! I love experiencing the arts and music, but most of all I love people. The weirdos, the eccentrics, the crazies – all of them.
I used to fight the idea of doing things a little bit differently, but today I realize that it’s my gift and it’s what I want to pass on in the work I do — in every brand visual ecosystem I create and every project I undertake.

I have been to meetings where, more than once, it has been suggested that we skip the wireframe stage and roll right into the design.
The difference between free, license and membership options when you are looking at plugin functionality for your wordpress site can be confusing.
The cost to properly plan, research, design and develop a professional WordPress website is a lot of work.
The power of images to communicate, to change minds and to create, is immeasurable but the world is drowning in images.
Looks matter, but it’s what’s underneath the design that matters more and installing a bad theme can make you crazy.
It’s time to get down and dirty and build a DIY WordPress website. Let me give you the run down before we get started.
Plugins are powerful and handy and beautiful but just because you can add a plugin doesn’t mean that you should.
A sitemap tells search engines about the content that you have on your site and how often it’s updated.
Google's tracking of your browsing habits is pernicious and insidious but very helpful, on the other hand, if YOU want to track visitors.
I always get asked questions about sizing photographs and it is indeed a very important detail for your site.
I wish that there were not so many new things to learn and I could just rest easy but alas, things keep changing, especially with video!
I usually tell my clients that drawing people to your site is most effective the old fashioned way.
Two of the most popular hosting platforms today are YouTube and Vimeo and they’re both great options.
