Today we’d like to introduce you to Lucretia Williams.
Lucretia, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Growing up, I was always a part of community programs and non-profits that had a mission of helping people. I quickly realized at a young age that whatever I do in life will have meaning and impact. Shortly after entering college, I quickly figured out that I wanted to create a legacy for my family and help others do the same with my expertise in business and tech.
Five years ago, I started designing websites for organizations on my college campus and various people in the DMV area. I am a self-taught web designer that won various hackathons and design competitions while still in school which reaffirmed my love for design. I was also fortunate to participate in a startup accelerator at the age of 19 that leads to the foundation I have in business.
Fast forward to present day, I have implemented digital strategy into my web design services based on seeing how past clients did not have a proper strategy put in place to drive people to the website they were asking me to create. I wanted my clients to see a return on their investment, and I realized digital strategy was the missing piece. I currently provide web design and digital strategy services for service-based businesses. I want to help these business owners build their online empire so that they start to see an impact in their lives as they service others with impact.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Even though I love helping people and designing websites some of the clients I began to work with weren’t my ideal client. I was taking on everyone who came to me about wanting a website built. I was just excited to help my people build their platforms, however I found myself quickly getting burnt out, I didn’t have the proper systems put in place to get my dream clients nor a specific audience I was serving. (I was literally helping everybody). This is something most entrepreneurs struggle with when they’re first starting out. Eventually, I got tired and I knew I had to tighten up my business and my systems and raise my prices. Now the clients I attract are my ideal clients and I’m able to work more efficiently and provide the best value and client experience for them.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with LA Design Studio – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
LA Design Studio helps service-based businesses increase client leads through branded web design and digital strategy. I focus on brand strategy and digital strategy to create the best lead driven website for your business. I’m not your average web designer. It is very rare that you’ll find a web designer who focuses on the strategy that gets you sales just as much as the design of your website.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I’m looking forward to helping 50 service-based business owners by the end of 2021 build or refresh their online platforms. I also plan on collaborating more with other creators in the industry such as other designers, photographers and copywriters.
