📌 Quick marketing tip: if you're running a lunch special, don't post about it at 2pm. Post it mid-morning, while people are still deciding where to eat.

Timing your content to your customer's day (not your own schedule) is one of the things we're covering Thursday at "Marketing Made Simple: Social Media & Video Basics." Free session, 8-9 AM at the YMCA in Austin.

It's Wendy's birthday! 🎉

Half of Aurora, all of the storytelling. She's the reason our clients' websites don't read like they were written by a robot (or by a developer).

If you've ever gotten an email from us that actually sounded like a human, or read your own story back and thought "yes, that's exactly us," or had her talk you out of something you didn't need, that was Wendy.

Southern Minnesota is lucky to have her. So are we.

Happy birthday, Wendy 💙

Things clients say before they hire us. A love story in four parts. 😄

1. "I built it myself on Wix. It's... fine."
2. "My nephew made it in 2016 and I don't have the login anymore."
3. "We have a website. I just don't know if anyone can find it."
4. "I know we need to update it. I just keep putting it off."

We've heard every version of this. No judgment! That's exactly why we're here.

🌟 Today Aurora got to spend some time with the team at Alliance of Chicanos, Hispano, Latino Americans (ACHLA) in Rochester!

These folks are the real deal. They work alongside Latino families in southeastern Minnesota to strengthen education, expand health access, support economic development, and build community connections that benefit everyone. Grassroots, dedicated, and doing it right.

We love the days when we get to roll up our sleeves and help an organization like this get a little more organized behind the scenes, so they can spend less time on the tech stuff and more time on the work that actually matters. 👩‍💻

Keep an eye out for two big upcoming ACHLA events, Latino Fest and their annual fundraising Gala. This is a community worth showing up for.

What a morning! Wendy got to spend it with the amazing girls from Austin More Than Pink talking about staying safe online; passwords, red flags, social media, and even a little AI.
Her favorite part? Watching them shout "STOP • THINK • TELL" together like they meant it. 💛

Thank you to the More Than Pink team for having us! This is exactly the kind of work we love getting to do outside of building websites.

One thing we love about this job: we get to leave the house for it sometimes. 😄

We've got some speaking engagements coming up and we could not be more excited to get in front of new rooms and talk about websites, digital presence, and what small businesses and organizations in Minnesota actually need right now.

If you want Aurora to come talk to your group in the meantime, you know where to find us.

"Do I need a website audit?" Probably, if any of these sound familiar:

✔️ You haven't updated your site in over a year
✔️ You're not sure if it shows up on mobile correctly
✔️ You don't know your site's loading speed
✔️ You built it yourself and just... hope it's working

An audit isn't a sales pitch and we're not trying to scare you into a redesign. Sometimes an audit tells you your site's fine. Sometimes it saves you from losing customers you didn't know you were losing.

Send a note to [email protected] with your current site’s URL. We’ll write back with the two changes we’d make first.
