This isn’t just another website course or
fill-in-the-blank template.
You’ve tried that—and it didn’t work.
Brand Base Camp is different.
You’ll go from “Here’s my little business...”
to a clear, strategic site that says “this is what I do and why I’m worth it”—
and turns visitors into clients who are excited to pay you.
With guided steps, plug-and-play templates, and AI tools to lighten the load, you’ll never feel stuck.
Quick tutorials walk you through it all—colors, fonts, mobile tweaks, even getting found on Google.
You won’t just have a website—you’ll have a base camp that grounds your brand and drives momentum.
"My website needed a huge overhaul. Kate was able to help me with everything from targeting my ideal clients to nailing my messaging on each page. Every single part of my website got a major glow-up."
"The process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to Kate's step-by-step guidance. Now, my website not only looks fantastic but also truly reflects my brand and the quality of my work. It's more than just a site; it's an extension of my business that attracts new clients and makes a great first impression."

I've been in your shoes, DIYing a site, and know how overwhelming it can feel!
That's why I’ve created my own process that makes building a website as easy as it can possibly be. In Brand Base Camp you’ll work through 3 clear phases – Strategy, Site Design, and Showing Up, with bite-sized lessons designed for the DIYer.
This step-by-step approach ensures your website isn't just beautiful, but strategically designed to attract your ideal clients, make you findable on Google and establish you as the go-to expert in your field.
This isn't just website design, it's brand storytelling! Our strategy phase is where the magic begins.
Discover Your Brand Identity: Who are you? What makes you stand out? Let’s dig deep to uncover your unique "marketing trail mix." I’ll help you define a brand voice and core message that not only makes you proud to share your website but also serves as the foundation for all your marketing going forward. You'll move from overwhelm to clarity, with a consistent and compelling message that speaks to your ideal clients wherever they find you.
Craft Words that Connect and Convert: Skip the outdated client avatar exercises. We focus on real market research to understand your audience and use their own words to craft messages that make them feel seen and understood. With my Website Writer Workbook, you’ll have a clear guide on exactly what to say on every part of your site to attract and convert the right clients.
Design a Cohesive Brand Experience: Your website should be a reflection of your brand, combining words with the right design elements—like colors, fonts, and images—that tell your story and attract your ideal clients. I’ll guide you in choosing these elements to create a cohesive look and feel that communicates who you are and why you’re the right choice for your dream clients.
By the end of this phase, you'll have a clear roadmap for your website – a website that reflects your brand, attracts your ideal clients, and turns them into loyal customers.
With your brand strategy in place, we dive into designing a site that’s not only beautiful but also effective in turning visitors into clients. This is where most DIYers start—and why so many end up with sites that look like Pinterest fails. We’re doing it differently, starting with strategy first, so your design works as hard as you do.
With your site built, it's nearly time to launch! In this phase, we'll build the buzz and get all of your ducks in a row!
SEO Basics: Meta descriptions, alt text, page names, oh my! SEO doesn't have to be overwhelming and complicated. I'll break it down in easy steps so we can get Google sending you dream clients, so they find you when they're ready to buy.
Launch tips: Build buzz around your new site, learn tactics to drive traffic, and create more interest in your business.
Track, Tweak, and Thrive: I’ll share the tools and strategies to monitor your site’s performance and understand client behavior. With this data, you’ll learn how to make smart adjustments that keep your site working hard for you, turning more visitors into clients over time.
"This couldn't have been possible without guidaince from Kate and her Brand Base Camp. (highly recommend the DIY option!) Without a second pair of experience eyeballs, your website could also be confusing without you knowing. I'm so glad I took the leap to refresh, accept help and have a site that I'm proud of!"
-Nikki S.
Any time I tried to work on my website before I felt lost. I didn't know where to start or how to put what I wanted to say into the site. I love all the questions and templates Kate had to help get my words and ideas out of my head and onto the site.
-Seana C.
Let’s face it—Brand Base Camp isn’t “cheap,” but here’s why it’s worth it.
You could spend $197 on a bare-bones template—or $1,500+ on a premium one—and still be stuck figuring out how to talk about your business, attract clients, or update your site later.
Hiring a designer? That’s easily thousands of dollars—and still won’t teach you how to do any of it yourself.
It’s a complete, step-by-step system that helps you write your copy, design your site, get found on Google, and build a brand that feels aligned and client-ready.
You’ll get personalized support when you need it, hands-on guidance, and the tools to build a website that works for you long-term.
PLUS, it’s made just for DIYers.
You’ll learn exactly what you need to design the site of your dreams—no complicated coding or tech talk, just what’s essential for you.
For less than the cost of a premium template—or a fraction of what you'd pay a designer—you’ll learn to build a high-converting website and gain the skills to grow your business.
Just one new client could pay for the program—and you’ll finally be working with the kinds of clients you actually want to serve.
The public and our future clients get a glimpse and a clear window of understanding who we are as a business. I always felt before I like I had to explain over and over again what we do but now I feel like it’s very clear and cohesive and consistent branding. I feel like the style of the website matches exactly what we have wanted for four years.
-Sara I.
"The copywriting templates were a game-changer; they provided a solid foundation while allowing me the flexibility to tweak and personalize them, making the final product something I could truly call my own."
-Jennifer P.
I started my first business as a photographer with a baby on my hip—and quickly realized I loved the business side even more than taking photos.
As my family grew, so did my need for a website that could actually sell for me.
But even the prettiest templates didn’t help me explain what I did or attract the right clients.
So I got serious about messaging, design, and strategy—and built a site that still brings in bookings years later, without updates.
Now, I help business owners like you do the same.
When you DIY with the right tools and guidance, you don’t just get a website—you get a brand message that makes all your marketing easier.
Your emails, social posts, and content finally have a clear throughline—and your site becomes the base everything connects back to.
That’s what Brand Base Camp is all about: giving you the clarity, skills, and structure to build a site that supports your business—and helps it grow.
You’ll walk away with a site you’re proud to share—and the confidence to show up everywhere else, too.
This sounds amazing but is it just for photographers?
Nope! Brand Base Camp was designed to help all service-based small business owners. I do have 13 years of experience running a photography business but I've also worked with business owners in many other industries!
I've worked with: wedding vendors, coaches, course creators, photographers, planners, organizers, bookkeepers, consultants, realtors and more! The content is all tailored to the students inside.
I AM COMPLETELY READY, BUT THE MONEY SCARES ME!
Here's how it helps me to think through biz investments: How much is "saving" money actually costing you? How much are you paying for a website that's really just a business card in a sea of business cards on the coffee shop bulletin board? How much MORE could you make every year with a site that brings in WARM leads ready to book? How much could you increase your prices if your website reflected the quality of work and the service you actually provide? If those numbers outweigh the investment, then it's clearly a sound business investment.
Plus, you can break the cost up into 2 or 4 payments!
HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE ME?
You’ll choose between a 4-week fast track or a 9-week paced plan—so you have structure to follow, but flexibility to make it your own.
You’ll get a step-by-step plan, weekly check-in emails, and simple tools (including AI!) to help you move forward faster—without burning out or second-guessing. You’ll always know your next step, and you’ll never be stuck doing it alone.
And if it takes you longer? That’s okay too. You’ll have lifetime access to the content, so you can go at your own pace and come back anytime you need.
IS THIS JUST FOR SHOWIT?
Yes, and no. Showit is the recommended platform for this course. I've chosen to work with Showit for it's ease of use, customizable nature, and excellent SEO capabilities.
All of the tech and design tutorials are based on Showit.
But, if you have another platform you love, the strategy, copywriting, and frameworks can still be applied! You'll also still get my feedback on the design as well as copy and layouts.
I'M NOT TECH-Y! CAN I STILL DO THIS?
Yes! We’re building your site in Showit—a platform I chose specifically because it’s incredibly user-friendly. No code required, just drag and drop.
And the drag-and-drop features are fully customizable—no design restrictions or locked templates.
If tech has ever stopped you before, you’ll feel right at home here.
And if you get stuck? You’ll have access to 3 one-on-one calls you can schedule during your 9-week support window—so help is there when you need it.
I'M A NEW BUSINESS. I DON'T HAVE COLORS OR A LOGO ETC. IS THIS TOO ADVANCED FOR ME?
We'll walk through choosing visuals to represent your brand no matter what stage you're at!
But first, we'll figure out your brand messaging and positioning so we can choose well!
We'll find the common thread that ties you to your dream clients and back up your messaging with visual that seal the deal!
You’ve tried to DIY your website before—but it never quite felt like you. You’ve filled in templates, taken courses, tweaked designs... and you’re still stuck with a site that doesn’t reflect your brilliance or attract the right clients.
You want more than something pretty. You want a site that connects with your dream clients, feels aligned with who you are, and helps grow your business—even when you're off the clock.
Now, picture this 4 weeks from now...
You hit publish on a site that finally feels like you—clear, client-ready, and built around what makes you shine.
Google sends you ready-to-buy clients who feel like you were made for each other.
Your inbox fills with eager inquiries, and your website becomes your silent (unpaid) salesperson—turning visitors into bookings while you focus on the work you love.
You’re not wondering what to post or how to show up.
Your site becomes the base everything connects back to—so your content, marketing, and message all stay aligned.
Are you ready to invest in your website and your business?
