Nancy LaFever, Editorchick

A fresh start for a seasoned editor who needed reliable support

Building a New Website and Restoring Confidence After a Frustrating Experience

Nancy LaFever (also known as Editorchick) is a professional book editor specializing in developmental editing. After a previous web project went poorly and resulted in the loss of her site content, Nancy needed someone she could trust to rebuild from the ground up and guide her through the process with patience and clarity. She came to me when her old site became inaccessible, and we used the opportunity to start fresh. Nancy already had a clear sense of her voice and services, so we focused on creating a site that reflected her professionalism and personality, while also giving her back full control and confidence in her digital presence.

What we worked on together

A Calm, Guided Rebuild for a Trusted Developmental Editor

We worked together to build a brand-new WordPress website, starting from a clean slate. I helped Nancy with content, design, hosting, and training—while also providing website care for long-term peace of mind.

Website Build

We built a clean, professional WordPress website using Nancy’s updated content and images, with a layout that feels both polished and approachable—just like her editing style. I consulted on design and structure to make sure everything felt cohesive, and provided clear training via Zoom and Loom so she could confidently manage content going forward. Given her past experience, I made sure the process felt supportive, transparent, and stress-free at every step.

Extras + Website Care

To ensure the site is protected and compliant, I assisted with setting up policies and cookie consent tools via Termageddon. Nancy is now on one of my website care plans, which includes regular updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime tracking, and monthly time for support or edits—so she knows her site is in good hands.

If you’re ready for a website that’s easy to manage (and support that sticks around after launch) let’s chat about your project. I’ll help you get clear, organized, and set up for what’s next.

  • “A professional who knows her craft is worth it and more!”

    My biggest concern before hiring Rene was that I’d hired a web designer for a previous version of my site and it did not end well. Due to a variety of circumstances, the majority of my site’s content disappeared. So essentially, I was starting from scratch. Rene realized I needed some hand holding and more initial attention due to this history. She totally delivered on that aspect. Rene’s guidance, primarily in terms of helpful Loom videos and patient explanation of the process, was instrumental in making this relatively painless. While I had prior experience working in WP, I needed a refresher. I’d say don’t even hesitate – HIRE HER! And although her rates were fair and reasonable, they might be a stopper for the “DIY” crowd.
