When you teach others how to communicate clearly, your own website should speak volumes.
That’s exactly what public speaking coach Mike Pacchione knew when he approached his website redesign. As the founder of BestSpeech.co, Mike helps executives, entrepreneurs, and TEDx hopefuls give talks people actually remember.
But his old site? It wasn’t doing his work justice.
What Mike wanted:
- A website that matched the caliber of his clients and offers
- A site that could convert curious visitors into paying clients
- An online presence that was both professional and persuasive
And according to Mike?
“I’d imagine this design will 10x my investment in the next six months. Probably more.”
From Last-Minute Copy Panic to Strategic Clarity
Like many business owners, Mike’s original plan included a copywriter. But when that fell through at the eleventh hour, he had to write the site himself.
Cue: stress. Second-guessing. And a crash course in messaging strategy.
Luckily, he wasn’t flying solo.
“Krista was able to course-correct for me + (patiently) walk me through the approach I should take.”
Through Looms, texts, and more than a few back-and-forths, Krista helped bring structure, clarity, and strategy to the copy—turning Mike’s expertise into client-focused messaging that actually sells.
Why a Davey & Krista Template?
For Mike, it came down to:
- ✅ Design that looked clean, not templated
- ✅ Functionality that didn’t feel like a bottleneck
- ✅ Strategy baked into every page
- ✅ Hands-on support that made DIY doable
“So yeah. Your site will look awesome. Your life will be better. You won’t be sorry you hired Krista.”
The Results? Just Getting Started
While it’s still early, Mike’s confidence in the ROI is clear. With the right website and messaging, he’s positioned to land more dream clients—and make the kind of impact his brand is built around.
“From a business-standpoint, money well spent.”
