Background: Craig Park, a prominent business leadership consultant with a strong focus on professional services and the built environment, was gearing up for the launch of his latest book the Architecture of Vision: Leadership in the Professional Practice. Having authored several successful publications, Craig recognized the need for a robust online presence to complement his book release and enhance his leadership development offerings.
Challenges: Craig's existing website posed significant challenges. It lacked a cohesive brand identity, was outdated, and did not include any search engine optimization (SEO) like keywords or meta-descriptions. Furthermore, the outdated visuals detracted from the professionalism of his online image.

Establish a cohesive brand identity.
Implement SEO strategies to enhance online visibility.
Facilitate easy content updates through a user-friendly platform.
Increase user engagement through clear calls to action.
Provide up-to-date contact information.
Include a downloadable media kit for press and media inquiries.
Integrate an email funnel for a freebie download of Craig's "The 10-Step Framework to Elevate Your Leadership Potential" ebook.
Update and expand services to include new programs, keynote speaking, and clarity on results and outcomes of his offerings.
Showcase highlights from Craig's new book.
Solution: The decision was made to rebuild the website using WordPress and Elementor to achieve a visually appealing and user-friendly interface. The following steps were taken:
