Does your website reflect your mission?
When your message isn’t clear, your efforts get lost in the noise. Such a waste of time and money!
At SmartAlpaca, we believe in making things easier and more effective for our clients, by using strategies and systems that fit your team, your brand, and your audience.
We’re Sandrine Coosemans & Mellissa Wheeler
Sandrine is an online business strategist and certified Storybrand guide, and Mellissa is a WordPress web designer with extensive SEO experience.
We met in 2015, as we both recently moved to rural Spain. We instantly connected over our love for animals, gardening, simple living… and ethical marketing.
In the years since, we joined forces to combine agency-level know-how with personalised attention, leading to better results and happier clients.
While we’re the two people you’ll talk to most, we have a team of trusted experts behind us: from email marketing to copywriting and tech, we’ve got your back.

Whether it’s a budget decision or personal preference, you can opt for a different website platform if you book one of our consulting or done-with-you packages.
We will discuss the details on our discovery call; options range from providing you with a content wireframe and strategic recommendations, to having the whole thing built for you.
-
All of our websites have the necessary elements in place to help search engines understand what your website is about - and they are optimised for speed and other essential aspects.
We always conduct an audit after launch to ensure there are no loose threads.
If you need more advanced SEO (keyword research, SEO strategy, and on-page optimisation) this can be included in your package and will be discussed during our discovery call.
If we build your website on WordPress, we install an SEO plugin that we/you can use to further optimise your site (including new content) for search engines.

Storybrand™ is a marketing framework that was first outlined by Donald Miller in his book, Building a Storybrand. It was then further developed by Don Miller and Dr. J.J. Peterson in the next book, Marketing Made Simple.
As a Certified Storybrand Guide, Sandrine is qualified to use the framework in our clients’ websites, funnels, and digital content.
Being certified also means we have direct access to a cornucopia of resources and a vast network of experienced marketing professionals, which has allowed us to elevate our work in many different ways.

We use the Storybrand framework to clarify your message and outline some of your marketing assets.
We are also intimately familiar with other frameworks, methods, and experts, including (but not limited to)
Jeff Walker (Product Launch Formula)
Stu McLaren (Searchie/membership.io, Tribe/The Membership Experience)
Rachel Miller (Moolah Marketer etc)
Mike Michalowicz (Profit First, the Pumpkin Plan, Fix This Next)

In most cases, we will be able to give you a ballpark price for the project on the call.
We will be able to give you an exact price for your Storybrand website when we know exactly what your brand needs; in some cases, we'll need an additional strategy session to create a clear project plan including budget and timeline.

We can’t build your dream website without your input and regular feedback.
In the prep stage, we have one or two calls and we will ask you for information, brand assets, and other existing materials. We provide you with prompts and checklists and if you’re not a writer, you can provide most information in audio or video format.
In the development stage, we need your timely feedback on the pages and content we create. We will discuss the details and timeline during the roadmap stage but in most cases, we require feedback within 48 hours after delivering assets so we can stay on track.
In the final stage, you will review and approve each individual page, email, or other asset before launch;
After launching, you will have a chance to review the instructions and guidelines we created, and get clarification or additional instructions - so you and your team can confidently take it from there.
For a small website project with a limited number of pages, your time investment can be minimal, and limited to 3 calls + an hour a week to review work in progress.
Either way, we will discuss the details and timeline during the roadmap stage.

Although most of our team speak multiple languages, we mainly offer done-for-you services in English.

While we don't offer social media management or paid advertising, we do offer marketing packages that can include planning, content writing, and website updates.
