1. I'm Amy, mama to 4 little ones and pediatric sleep consultant. It's my joy to walk alongside mamas through the sleep training process. My heart is for moms to get the rest they need so that they can soak up motherhood and days with their children. After each of my pregnancies, I struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety. I quickly saw how much sleep (or lack of!) affected my mental health and how I experienced motherhood. In those lonely days, I read all the books and did all the things hoping my babies would sleep...but what I really really wanted was someone to come alongside me and help me navigate this new season. We lived in The Netherlands during my last pregnancy and I was blown away by the pregnancy and postpartum support that was available to mamas there. My eyes were opened to a whole new way of life for moms when I saw how this care and support was totally normalized. Walking through my own journey with PPD and living abroad gave me a huge passion to help other mamas get the sleep they need so that they can thrive. After a move back stateside, I opened Rhythms of Rest in June 2023 with a desire to help moms sleep train their little ones without feeling alone.

2. This is my very first website! I had come across some other Davey and Krista sites and they were GORGEOUS. I knew that I wanted to use one of their templates to get my business up and running!

3. My favorite part of the site is the testimonials sections. I love that I can share stories of how life changing sleep truly is in these mom's own words. These testimonials from families I have worked with are treasures to me and I love getting to share them with others. I know that it can feel daunting to trust someone with your little one's sleep and my hope is that by sharing these stories, other mamas will be encouraged and it will give them hope that sleep is not only possible but it can be an absolute game changer for their entire family.

4. I was so drawn to the timeless, clean look of Davey and Krista templates. I am definitely not the most tech savvy person and so I knew that if I were to do this myself, I'd need a beautiful template where I could make it my own while feeling like I had a layout already done for me. I wanted my site to feel fresh and evoke feelings of calm, because navigating information online for new moms can feel incredibly overwhelming. I wanted this to feel like a breath of fresh air when mamas clicked on my website and I adore the end result!

5. I cannot tell you how many moms comment on how beautiful the website and branding is! As a new business owner, creating a brand that really reflected my vision was so important to me and this has truly been one of the best decisions I have made since opening Rhythms of Rest. I have booked my top package repeatedly and I cannot wait to see what this next year of business brings!

I'm a wedding photographer in Durham, NC, love gardening, animals and painting - a very old lady life :) I fell in love with photography in my high school photo class and have been hooked since! I started shooting weddings because I love the emotion and moments such an important day allows, it's such a fulfilling job, especially after 10 years when you watch your clients continue to grow and love their famlies.

I felt my old site didn't reflect a clean look and the pricing level I'm now at. I was using squarespace but wanted to move to make my site more customizable and look more elevated. I knew started on a new platform woudl be a huge undertaking, so a solid template was a must!

My homepage! I feel like this page needs to be so strong to keep visitors around. I love how clean and dynamic mine is.

I love the variety of templates you offer and the fact that you design them to be simple, timeless and easily customizable. I felt I could stick to the template while adding a little extra me in there. Some templates I've seen throw so much content and visual details at you it's overwhelming, and all of yours make it easy to focus. On top of that, I love the education you offer to help get your website started and improve SEO. It has been a major help!

I upped my prices upon launching this new site and since then, I've had clients with bigger budgets reach out compared to before. I have booked my highest package yet!

1. Most my inspiration for picking up a camera came from online video creators. Vloggers like Casey Neistat and creators like Sam Kolder. Then I came across a YouTube channel on how to film weddings. I took that and ran with it. I shot my first wedding (video) in 2017, then in 2019 started moving more into photography. I slowly phased out the video side of things over the next couple years - stuck with it and now here we are!

2. I redesigned my website because I felt my prior website didn't truly represent my brand and because the platform was pretty cumbersome any time I had to make edits.

3. I love how easy it is to make edits and customizations. Showit + the D&K templates are so powerful. If I have something in my mind, I can just bring it to life. There’s no bottleneck like my previous web builder.

4. Simply put, they are gorgeous. There are other options on the market but D&K templates immediately caught my eye and stood out. Branding is everything, especially for a photographer in the high end market. I needed something that would convey luxury and my D&K template delivered.

5. Launch was super recent so I don't have any metrics yet but I did receive a couple of inquiries the day of!

I got into photography at 16yrs old when a friend wanted to take my photos and I decided I wanted to try, I ended up shooting my first wedding the same year! I’ve been in the wedding industry ever since then!

I really wanted a website that showcased my work in a luxurious way that really fit the vibe of luxury wedding photography, and this template really fit the bill!

My favorite thing is just how clean and high end the site feels, it really leads you through from page to page in a way that’s inviting but also gives you that high end experience.

The Davey and Krista templates really stood out to me by how well they were designed and how they literally covered all of the bases. You weren't left with a base design that you had to figure the rest out yourself, it was all right there for you from the start.

I would say that my bookings have gone up quite a bit since redesigning my website and I’m loving that! Literally all of my new brides tell me how much they loved the look of my site and how easy it was to navigate, which is exactly what I was going for!
