Let’s get real…
If you aren’t loving your current marketing, chances are your dream client probably isn’t either.
IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST BE SEEN, you need to shine!
In the current climate of copy cat marketing, bots, and Ai, having branding and marketing that authentically sings the song of your heart with clarity, and effectively connects and communicates who you are and what you offer with your ideal client is key.
Your website is your opportunity to create a home for your business that’s as unique & magnificent as you are.
Law of the jungle:THE 3 SECOND RULE
Have you heard of the 3 second rule?
No, I’m not talking about the one where you drop the chip on the floor, pick it up, dust it off and holler “3 second rule!” to make it socially acceptable that you’re eating off the floor…
I’m talking about the fact you have 3 seconds to grab a potential client’s attention online.
If they can’t effectively understand who you are and what you offer in that teeny timeframe, they’ll ruthlessly head to the dreaded x in the corner and be done with you forever.
Cruel huh! Just like that your magnificence could be lost to them.
This is why having a website that authentically resonates with your brand and effectively aligns with your vibe and offerings, needs to be at the tippy top of your business priorities in order to thrive.
Enter your solution:
Heart-centred BRANDING & DESIGN THAT vibes & aligns
Whether you’re looking for an authentic rebrand or to build your empire from the ground up, I gotchu!
Creating websites with soul is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
I love unveiling the heart of someone and creating an online home for them to shine their brilliance in the world.
Let’s get jiggy with itWHAT’S THE PROCESS?

Don’t worry I’ll be right there for you guiding you along the way and answering questions as they crop up. Then design date will come, and I’ll be chomping at the bit to head to work as your Creative Director, designing my toosh off until we reach that soul centred design we’re aiming for.
THREE
PARTY
We made it! You can now officially launch your glorious new brand and website and gloat to your heart’s content - sing it from the roof tops and tell every man and his dog to visit, share, subscribe, shop (what ever’s relevant to you). Seriously, problem solved, dreamy new website installed. You should probably practise your ever so beamy ‘check out my new website’ line with obligatory hair flip now so you’re ready.
WHAT'S THE COST?
Let’s get down to businessYes paying a skilled creative can be a little pricey, BUT so is knowing your dream clients are slipping through your fingers, choosing someone else’s website over yours while your bank account still sounds… crickets.
Let’s get you from crickets to abundance magnet and resonant brand bliss.
Yes, you could scour the web and DIY the heck out of your brand and website, but do you really have the time, or desire? And realistically, is it going to look the way you dream it will in the end?
“I love my new website the experience was excellent in every way.
When I compare it to my old site which did the job but I felt was static and that I'd grown out of it, my new site feels way more in tune with where I am on my journey now. It’s alive, vital, creative, beautiful, visionary and fluid - and I love that. Thank you beautiful Ballantyne xxx”

KIND WORDS
“For someone on the fence I’d say, just do it! The value you receive will be worth it's weight in gold.
I've found it's easy to waste time and resources and money, either trying to create things myself that are outside my field of genius, or by engaging others who don't connect with my modus-operandi and desired outcome, and I know the advantage and benefit first hand of engaging experts like Ballantyne, to do this for me.
Ballantyne brought her expertise to the table and demonstrated her mastery in site creation, which has proved to be well worth the time saved, outstanding end product, and financial outlay - and in my world that's true value! The experience was excellent in every way, thank you beautiful Ballantyne xxx”
GINA HAINES - THE ART OF LIVING HAPPY™
WHO WILL YOU BE working WITH?
MEET BALLANTYNE HAINES (BFA)
Fine Arts grad., lifelong creative, & the Squarespace Website & Brand Designer behind Liberated Lion Creative studio.
I’m passionate about creating aligned, resonant Squarespace website designs and branding for heart-centred fempreneurs, so they can get back to what they do best, shining their magic in the world!
I see myself as a match maker (hear me out here), I take a brand and website and find a way to make it irresistible, communicating all the magic to the client that needs exactly that flavour of fabulous right now, ka-ching abundance magnet.
Listen, I know from personal experience building a business is a crazy symphony of chaos and celebration it’s time consuming and at times overwhelming, not to mention all the imposter syndrome, analysis paralysis and DIY frustration (the three colleagues I never remember hiring) that comes from learning yet another platform for the complicated machine your dream biz keeps shapeshifting into.
REALITY CHECK
The thing is, yes you could do everything you’ll pay me to do, buuut…
How long will it take you? Will it really look the way you want it to in the end? Annnd how much time and money will you have to invest learning how in the process?
I’ve put in the hard yards and I know a thing or two about branding and design, let me loose and I’ll create that glass slipper website you deserve, match making you with all your internet Cinderellas.
Are we a match?VIBE CHECK
♫ If you like piña coladas & getting caught in the rain ♫
Just kidding… although not entirely.
CREATIVE DIRECTOR SEEKS:
Soul centred Fempreneurs in need of Web design & branding skills.
Do you work hard and dream big?
You might be saying something like…
”I’m Looking for a designer that can create authentic branding for me and build an online home for my clients that welcomes them into the feeling of working with me.”
WE’RE THE perfect FIT IF:
You’re deeply passionate about what you do
You work hard and dream big
You enjoy collaboration, are willing to roll up your sleeves on the prep work (this is your brand and business after all) and you respect creative professionals and the skills they bring to the table
You enjoy self discovery, reflective style tasks, that dive deeper than the surface of things
You appreciate creativity that means something richer than just slick aesthetics
You’re committed to the process and ready to participate fully to squeeze the most out of this investment
You’re kind, positive, enthusiastic, excited about the outcome, and invested in the journey
You dream of a new website that’s authentic, creative and beautiful, that will work for you day and night to manifest those ‘Cinderella Shoe’ perfect fit clients.
You have no problem investing in your business and branding, and you value quality and skill ahead of bargain basement pricing.
WE’RE not A PERFECT FIT IF:
You’re looking for a quick fix el-cheapo ‘pretty but whatever’ brand and design no worries but I’m not your gal.
You’re way too busy for prep work and soul searching and totally hoping I’m just gonna do it all for you.
You want it done yesterday for half as much as we agreed upon
The phrase ‘thoughtful intentional decisions’ makes you think “who has time for them, just get it done and make it look good.”
You want it to look exactly like someone else’s brand or website - sorry not your gal.
You’ve come this far so imma have it a guess you’re not totally head over heels for your existing web design & branding
AND you know some meanie pointed out on this website that 90% of your messaging is delivered in the visuals (*repeats dramatically louder with raised eyebrows “90!”)
AND you only have 3 seconds to get someone’s attention online…which means you just can’t afford not to have your web design and branding pulling their weight.
Yes you could scour the internet become a wiz and overhaul the brand and design yourself DIYing the heck out of it and probably going grey in the process (see you in like a year). Which realistically loses you billable hours, potentially clients, and naturally non grey hair.
OR you could leap! Farm out the responsibility, time, effort, and required skill to someone else (me) and celebrate your economic efficient and beautiful choice.
Let me help you remove the hurdle so you can get onto the next big dream you’re heading for.
Remember only one design slot a month so RUN don’t walk.
“I love my new website. When people visit they enjoy the experience & see & feel a part of 'me' represented there - it’s interesting, different & stands out as unique & authentic to me & my work. These are not easy aspects to capture & create & I think Ballantyne nailed them. Others have said it’s visionary, easy to follow, creative, different & ‘dope’."
