The Digital Wayfinder
A founder’s guide to building a meaningful online presence
— with purpose, perspective, and long-term vision
The Digital Wayfinder
You’ve got a big vision — but translating it into a clear, aligned, human-centered website is no small task.
The Digital Wayfinder is your guide to navigating that journey with purpose.
It’s not a course, and it’s not a checklist. It’s a thoughtfully crafted roadmap for visionaries who want to build a digital presence that lasts — and feel grounded while doing it.
Why It Matters
Most websites are built backwards — jumping straight to tools, templates, or trends.
This guidebook flips the script.
You’ll start with what matters:
Why you’re building, who it’s for, and what success actually looks like.
Then, you’ll walk through every stage — from discovery to launch — in human language, with prompts that help you make smart, aligned decisions.
Who It’s For:
Whether you’re building your first site, evolving a legacy platform, or preparing for something big — this guide is designed to support your next move with care, clarity, and long-term perspective.
- First-time founders or solo professionals preparing to launch a new website
- Small teams getting ready to redesign or replatform
- Values-driven businesses that want clarity before investing in creative or technical work
- Anyone who’s felt overwhelmed, over-pitched, or out of sync with their web presence
What You’ll Learn:
- How to reconnect with your deeper “why” before making surface-level decisions
- Clarify your goals, values, and audience
- A broad, cohesive picture of the web development process
- How to avoid costly missteps by making aligned decisions early
- Communicate your vision clearly with collaborators and creatives
- Hire with confidence — because you’ll know what to ask, and what to watch for
- Define success on your terms — not someone else’s metrics
What’s Inside:
Digital guidebook — strategy, insights, and frameworks
Fillable workbook — structured prompts and exercises to apply what you’re learning
Builds Foundational Knowledge — provides a big picture overview of key concepts
Respects Your Time — skips the filler and focuses on core concepts and strategies
Jargon included and decoded — you’ll build fluency, not frustration.
Created by a founder, developer, strategist, and digital nomad with over a decade of experience

More Than a Workbook — Find Your North Star
The Digital Wayfinder workbook isn’t busywork.
It’s a tool to help you distill and document your most important decisions.
It becomes a living, shareable roadmap that captures your vision, values, and priorities in one place — so others can align without constant clarification.
- Save hours of meetings, back-and-forth emails, and clarification calls
- Avoid wrong turns by aligning early on goals, voice, structure, and scope
- Communicate what matters most — clearly, confidently, and without repeating yourself
- Build buy-in with collaborators who can now act with clarity instead of guesswork
You’ll walk away with a reference you can revisit, reuse, and revise as your vision grows.
This isn’t just prep. It’s your project roadmap.
Done right, it can save you thousands in misaligned effort — and help everyone build toward the same goal.
