Claire’s books are central to her professional identity, not an accessory to it. The Publications section needed mood, clarity, and room for each title to feel part of a larger literary world. What part of your work deserves more than a template?

Client: "I highly recommend Marcia Macomber..." There's more but little space here. Challenges: meet Accessibility demands & put the legally blind client at ease thru the building process. RESULTS -She received a commission for a new gallery show as a direct result of having her site. Win-win!

If customers have to climb a gate to find a basic answer, your website is making them work too hard. Make information easy to find, understand, and use. Good service shouldn’t be a barrier course.

Peak season demands a lot—but constant motion isn’t the same as clear leadership. Leadership coach Lori Varsames joined the Morning Show today to explore moving from reaction to the decisions that matter. Listen: ksvy.org #Leadership #Hospitality

A typewriter was designed to write words. James Cook looked at one and saw an art studio instead. That's one of my favorite things about creative people: they don't just use tools for what they were intended to do—they imagine what else they could become. Take a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3HP...

Website design is still my primary business. But I'm also a radio host (among other jobs) & I expect AI consulting to become a greater part of my work. That's what this week's newsletter is about—all those hats! And it starts with a few sugar ants. mailchi.mp/b63d8c0d91fd...

It started with a few sugar ants. My radio guest Joy Cuming didn’t reach for RAID. She watched them, asked why they were there, and learned something about the environment around them. That got me thinking about how we respond when our own lives or businesses start changing. Link in 1st comment.

I rounded up some of the most interesting real-world AI workflows I’ve found—and they’re a lot more practical than a list of futuristic predictions. Someone was tired of deciding what to wear. Another wanted AI to keep track of wine and figure out what to drink with dinner. Post link in 1st comment.

AI won’t replace business owners, it'll just replace a lot of the repetitive work they’re currently tolerating. The businesses that figure this out early won’t just move faster—they’ll operate differently. See a few ideas below, and visit our 25 Practical AI Ideas.

Claire’s books are central to her professional identity, so we didn’t present them as a generic list of titles. Custom coding gave the Publications section a distinctive presentation while keeping the WordPress site practical to manage. 👉 See what we created: cornucopiacreations.com/claire-ortal...

Back to business? Not so fast. I spent part of Labor Day weekend giving “work” to my AI team—and went outside with a glass of wine. Turns out that got me thinking about what “back to business” really means. Read this week's newsletter → mailchi.mp/aac2b80c746f...

Weekend assignment: Spend 5 min. looking at something astonishingly beautiful. These aerial photographs absolutely stopped me in my tracks. My brain finally unclenched. If your week has been nonstop, this may be exactly what you need. ✨ I believe it's a gift link, too (in the 1st comment.)

A new website. A very happy author & a rather interesting experiment in how we build websites. I’m darn pleased with how it came together. AI didn't design the website; it changed how we explore ideas & possibilities for the client. 👉 Behind-the-scenes story: cornucopiacreations.com/claire-ortal...

The bus is waiting. The goal is important. The dachshund remains unconvinced. Sometimes “behind” is just another word for “not ready to board the wrong plan.” What are you reconsidering this Monday?

Apparently, authenticity has become a marketing strategy (which is a little hilarious when you think about it). At some point, we may have to admit the obvious: the goal isn’t to sound authentic. It’s to actually❤️be❤️authentic. That starts with knowing what you stand for. Right?

"No one will ever click that!"-a phrase I've heard more than a few times from clients. But humans are often irrational. They DO click buttons someone else said would never happen. Does this bring back any memories on a site design experience? Let me know in the comments.
