Meet Chanel Lauren! She’s a social media marketing strategist helping entrepreneurs find freedom while building their brands and businesses. She is also the babe behind Born To Beach™, a mindset and a way of living a life of inspired intention. 

Chanel’s story proves how finding a website that truly fits her personality has made all the difference for showcasing her capabilities. She tells us, “It was love at first site (pun so intended) when I found my Tonic template and let’s just say, I dove right in. Before Tonic, I was just a girl with her feet in the sand, but now I’m living La Vida Luxury with a flawless new site that attracts my ideal client, while showcasing everything I am truly born to do!”

We love that her site was up and running like a Baywatch beauty with all the fun and sunshine of a day at the beach, and all the substance and inspiration of a business coach you want to work with. It’s like our Margarita template was made for Chanel. She models her TONIC template so well (no really, she’s a model, too). We can’t imagine her in a different site; it’s that perfectly suited 😉for who she is and what she’s about. Check it out her customization: 

Our favorite things about her site? It’s so hard to choose. Here are a few:

• Her customization of site colors – sunny yellows and serene blue-greens – and the use of beautiful images and engaging text create a VIBE, and we’re loving it. Relaxation and natural beauty meet fun-loving, carefree living, and we’re here for it. Who wouldn’t want to join her on the beach? 
• We love her Book Me page, where gorgeous photos and clever copy lead you through her (very clickable) offerings, providing you with clear options and inspiring testimonials. 
• She’s clearly talented, and her Born to Beach™ page highlights her passions and projects. There’s space for her to highlight blog posts and talk about her up-and-coming podcast. We love how she’s made jumping into her site an experience; it’s like visiting an exotic, yet accessible location. 
• Be sure to click to her Editorial page, where she showcases stunning images from her modeling career she also has. It’s such a good use of site space too, because she’s able to incorporate that talent into her whole brand in a way that feels intentional.

But what makes her story even more impressive? Here’s what she says about the results she’s getting with this killer site:

The best part is that I received my first lead within 1 hour of launching my site. Talk about making a splash! The Tonic Team support and tools are top notch! And while you’re at it, purchase your insta-links and favorites page too because trust me, you’ll be back! If you’re anything like me, you’re about to be ALL-IN, baby! I will never build a website from the ground up again!”

We love that she loves her site. We couldn’t be more thrilled that this beach babe found a website template that truly matches not only her brand and business, but, we think most importantly…WHO she is. We love that Chanel is passionate and fun AND smart and business-minded. She chose the perfect template; TONIC’s Margarita not only looks good online but is featured-rich and sales-driven. She’s a party – colorful and personality-packed but is also a low-key strategic design for any coach, photographer, creative brand, or small business – no matter where you are on your journey. 

Chanel makes us proud to do what we do (but also like, really makes us want to go on a beach trip, ideally with her as our tanning buddy). But for now, we will just have to keep designing pretty websites because clients like Chanel make that really fun, too.
