The business is Kara + Co Creative and Kara Co-Creative – either way you look at it, we’re doing this together.
My goal is simple: to take the guesswork out of your website and online business systems so that you can start earning an income through the work that you love.
I work primarily with women-owned businesses and women solopreneurs. Since I started my entrepreneurial journey as a health coach, many of my clients are health coaches and wellness pros. But, I also have a passion for companies with women’s empowerment-driven missions, and have worked with all kinds of service providers.
Kara +Co can also help with graphic design, online business management, and with the help of my collaborative partners, just about anything you need when it comes to running an online business.
The K +Co Team
We’re small, but mighty.
KARA FERREIRA, PRINCIPAL
Hey, there. I’m the “I” in all this website copy! I’m an entrepreneur just like you, but with a knack for websites! I got into website design and development because when I was first starting out, I needed a website myself.
I had no clue where to start (so I get it!) and had to redo the website I made sooo many times before it was actually an effective asset for my business (and I can shorten that curve for you big time).
With Kara +Co Creative, I’ve brought together all of the resources that I wish I had when I was first starting out so that you can design your logo, fine tune your copy, design + build your website, create an online course or set up e-commerce, manage your email marketing and social media (and more!) all in one place.
LEE CRAWFORD, GRAPHIC DESIGNER
You might say my website/computer tech skills were inherited – since Lee is my mama! (Which, you may have guessed from this photo, taken at my wedding). Lee holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of California. She spent a good part of her career custom coding websites in HTML and CMS systems like Joomla, before turning to something she really loves: graphic design.
In addition to helping with those extra features that make your website look polished and professional, Lee can create logos and other brand assets. You can learn more about why graphic design is so important to website development here.
In real life, I...
"IRL" is actually something I say ...a lot. It's annoying, I know. I blame spending so much time in internet-land.
SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON HORSEBACK
I’ve been horseback riding since I was 5. It’s one of the things I need to be OK.
HAVE ONE OF THE CUTEST TODDLERS
Yes, I’m biased… but it’s been confirmed by other sources.
PODCAST ABOUT WINE (AND SPIRITS!)
Boozy Biddies is an irreverent yet educational exploration of wine and spirits. You can find it on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
REWATCH GILMORE GIRLS ON REPEAT
…Constantly. I think I’ve seen all of the episodes at least 20 times. I also (randomly) live in the town where the fan festival takes place every year since it supposedly resembles Stars Hollow 🤷♀️
Credentials...
NO TECH DEGREE!
All my website design chops come from a lot of self study and good old figuring it out. I’ve figured out everything I’ve needed to for myself and for my clients when it comes to website design in Squarespace and WordPress, in email marketing systems, ClickFunnels, Facebook Ads and more. This is how I became a jack of all trades and a master of getting it done ☺️
In case you’re wondering, I do have a college degree (History, Anthropology) and half of a masters (International Relations – Counterterrorism). I don’t use either much.
BUT, I AM A CONSTANT STUDENT
While a lot of my tech skills basically come from YouTube, I have taken a ton of courses related to online business and also just general personal development. Here is a sample of what I’ve done in no particular order:
Your Wellness Brand with Blair Badenhop | Digital Lab with Megan Martin | Playing Big with Tara Mohr | Self Coaching Scholars | Business Bootcamp with Melissa Ambrosini | B-School with Marie Forleo | Power Play (Facebook Ads) with Adrienne Richardson | Get Paid to Live with Jenny Sansouci
Partners
Depending on what you need, I may either contract work out to other specialists, or refer you to some of my favorite creators and strategists to help bring your project along. While I can also contribute to most of these services in house, joining forces with others enables us to do things better and/or faster.
