I see this a lot.

The marketing manager sets the marketing strategy, and here’s what follows:

Then they need an ad.

A social post needs to go out.

The website needs an update.

A brochure needs revisions.

Sales needs a presentation.

A trade show is coming.

Suddenly, the person responsible for leading the marketing is also producing every piece of it.

That is not a motivation problem.

It is a capacity problem, and it can quickly lead to burnout.

Outside creative support can give a marketing manager room to focus on the work they were actually hired to do—planning, prioritizing, and moving the company forward.

The right creative partner should not add another person to manage.

They should help carry the workload.

One of the hardest conversations in website design is explaining that filling every inch of the screen does not necessarily give visitors more value.

It often gives them more work, more overwhelm, and a feeling of ‘Get me out of here.’

Many older websites were designed around the idea that they were online encyclopedias where everything needed to appear immediately: long paragraphs, multiple menus, flashing calls to action, crowded sidebars, and very little breathing room.

But today’s visitors scan before they read.

When they hit your website, they need to quickly understand:
• Where they are
• What the company offers
• Why it matters
• What they should do next

It’s not about removing important information.

It is about organizing information so people can actually find, understand, and act on it without the overwhelm.

Today, we are not designing the way websites worked in 1999.

We are designing for the audience using websites today. For today’s attention spans.

We all know AI can make things faster. The bigger opportunity is using it as a tool to make the work more thoughtful, more human, and more valuable.

Companies that replace people and creatives with AI don’t look more innovative. They look lazier — and they’re not being rewarded for it.

Honestly, have you noticed how much AI-generated design is starting to look the same?

Seth Godin, marketing thinker, entrepreneur, author, and teacher, takes on this oh-so-relevant topic with the clarity he’s known for: eloquent, succinct, and better said than I could have said it myself.

Sometimes the creative brain needs a little downtime too ☕✨

Designs by Kiki will be closed May 25–29 as I take a few days to rest, recharge, and step away from the screen for a bit.

I’ll return refreshed, re-inspired, and ready to jump back into creating great work for my clients. Thank you, as always, for your support, patience, and trust. 💛
Emails and messages received during this time will be responded to when I return.

Maybe you've been plagued by spammy emails from strangers claiming they found errors on your site, which leaves you frustrated and wondering if there really is something wrong with your website. It's annoying, right?

What if you could find the answer yourself?

That's what I've been working on.

Over the past few months, I have been creating a self-guided evaluation tool for your website using Google PageSpeed Insights. It will give you your own assessment of your site's performance, helping you identify what's wrong and what to prioritize.

Here’s how it works:

1. Run a quick speed test using Google’s PageSpeed Insights (my quiz will guide you)
2. Answer questions across 7 key areas: speed, mobile experience, security, SEO, accessibility, and privacy
3. Get your personalized score and action plan delivered to your inbox

Time commitment: About 10-15 minutes
​What you’ll need: Your website URL and access to view it on your phone

One day your website is there. The next day, it's been taken over by gremlins selling fidgets on your homepage.
It sounds funny until it happens to you.

Most things in our lives require care: cars, houses, yards, and your personal health, That's why I use a mechanic, hire a CPA for tax strategy, and when I don't prioritize house cleaning, I know who to call.

Your website is similar. Think of me as your website maintenance concierge.

Is your website showing warning signs? I published 5 Signs Your Website Needs Care. Check it out: https://www.designsbykiki.net/5-signs-your-website-needs-professional-care/

It's been a minute since my last newsletter. I've been quietly brewing something in the background, working on a way to help you and your business.

April signals spring cleaning, so this month I'm focusing on website health, care, and maintenance.

Maybe you've been plagued by spammy emails from strangers claiming they found errors on your site, which leaves you frustrated and wondering if there really is something wrong. It's annoying, right?

What if you could find the answer yourself? That's what I've been working on!

Pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee (or tea), and read the latest newsletter. Let's catch up!
