Who's behind Whittle Websites?
(Sam, that's who!)
Why whittle websites?
Giving website feedback is something I like to do. It's fun for me!
I get antsy when I'm working closely with someone and notice an issue with their website. I end up making videos offering feedback (with their permission). Then I get their website password, then I start making changes myself — the edits are inevitable.
So I figured, why not make a business out of it?
My professional background includes 8+ years working in marketing and public relations.
During that time, I was primarily a content writer and copy editor. In a typical 9-5 setting, that's a catch-all for writer + editor + social media person + website reviewer + style guide creator + communications strategist + ... (you get the idea).
We all know how AI has impacted the workforce post-COVID. I knew copywriting as a profession would be forever changed, and truthfully, I didn't want to be a full-time writer anymore anyway.
But I still had all this knowledge about SEO and content and storytelling that needed to be applied somewhere. So here we are!

It'll give you a rundown of some of the places I've worked and industries I have experience in.
At the end of the day, website success is all about knowing your goals, telling your story concisely, guiding your visitor down a certain path — whether that's making a purchase, donating, or signing up — and doing it in a way that search engines can crawl so the right people can find your website organically.
If you're running paid ads that are directing web traffic to a landing page, that's something we can talk about too.
