Last December I mused in my journal that maybe it was time to revamp my website. It had always felt like such a mammoth task I’d been putting it off for years but for some reason, as the year drew to a close and I looked forward into 2015, I knew it was time. So I reached out to a designer I admired and asked if she’d work with me. To my delight she said yes, igniting what’s turned into a seven-month mission. Along the way I had a photo shoot with a photographer I adore and we found a developer who’s been utterly charming and a delight to work with. Ideas were collated, pages were rewritten and a new vision for the site was birthed. It’s been fun and challenging in equal measure!
My intention for the new site was to create a space that feels deeper and softer and more delicious than ever. A place that’s elegant and stylish, user-friendly and thoughtfully put together. A place that’s an expansion of who I am in this online world, while still feeling unequivocally like me.
I think we’ve achieved this :)
Rather than create loads of unnecessary new stuff we’ve simply reimagined every page and added one significant new page: the Shop. There you’ll find teasers of the four courses I’ll be rolling out over the rest of the year — in feedback from a recent survey you guys overwhelmingly asked for some shorter courses so now the site’s done I can’t wait to get started on those!
We’ve also given two of my most read blog posts — The Art of the Polaroid and How I shoot with my iPhone — their own pages, and I’m deeply in love with the new e-courses page. And the media page. And the about page. Hell, I love all of it :)
So do have a look around and please know that we’re still ironing out any kinks!
I hope you like my new digs xo

Brava to you Susannah! What a gorgeous website which I can’t wait to explore. xo
Great Job! This is such a dreamy, serene and lovely website. I love the opening photo and how the blog slides up and over it. There are so many little touches, like the speaking instructions for signing up — so new and innovative. Now I have a new blog that I aspire to. You should definitely include info about re-creating a website in your Blogging From The Heart course. If so, I’d love to know this so that I might take the course again. Your blog is so much a part of who you are. Beautiful! Blessings and love, lydia
Great site. Love the photos on each page.

gorgeous new space!
Gorgeous, just like you! I love how clean it looks. Congratulations, Susannah! xx
Congratulations — a new “space” is always so exciting. But am I the only one who’s finding it pretty much impossible to read? Or maybe it’s just that I’m old-school & actually use a computer instead of a smart phone. The text is too small & pale to read on my (hi-end) monitor & even after I fiddle around increasing the text size, it’s still so pale & fragmented as to be almost illegible. This comment — I can’t actually read what I’m writing. And the “hovering” drop-down menu that follows me down the page & cuts off an inch of viewing? Sorry. Not a fan there, either. Sorry for sounding so grumpy, but I’m finding that more & more of my favorite sites are going for a look that works for the smart phone crowd but not so well for the rest of us. I love — LOVE — your site, Susannah. And you did ask for feedback.
Hello Susannah,
It’s beautiful! Congratulation on your new home! I love the picture, very You. ;)
Susannah,
