Working with Michael Brissenden was an absolute blast. Not only is he one of Australia’s most respected journalists with over 30 years of experience across politics, foreign correspondence, and investigative reporting, he’s also a brilliant author and an a brilliant human.
When Michael came to me, he had a simple one-page website that didn’t reflect the depth or scope of his work. Our goal was to build something that truly did him justice, a professional, easy-to-navigate site that showcased both his books and his extensive journalistic career.
We expanded the site into a full multi-page experience, creating dedicated spaces for his novels, media appearances, and writing. We brought in a new SEO strategy and thoughtful structure to help users (and search engines!) find what they need with ease.
Michael wanted to make sure readers could access everything they might be looking for so we added audio samples, chapter excerpts, links to purchase books, and more. We also integrated his Twitter feed to reflect his active online presence and give the site a sense of freshness and momentum.
The end result is a clean, dynamic author platform that reflects Michael’s professionalism and personality. I’m so proud of where we landed and working with Michael was genuinely a joy from start to finish.
“From start to finish Kelly was terrific. Lots of communication, wonderful ideas and great consultation. Kelly has produced a wonderful website that meets all of my needs and she is always available to help a tech luddite like myself when revisions are required or new things need to be added. I am very happy with where the site has landed and can’t recommend Kelly highly enough.”
