She'll teach you how to practically apply these to any project to dramatically improve it's impact.
The 7 Design Elements You Need to Know to Elevate a Project
Do you ever pull up Google and type in the area you live in + the type of your business (photographer, designer, etc.) and then look to see how high up on the list you are?
Even if you see your site first you still may notice that you aren’t receiving very many referrals from Google searches. This talk will teach you how to optimize your site to be crawled by Google and how to make sure you keep your name at the top of those searches.
How to Master Google (SEO for the Creative Professional)
Davey shares how to effectively answer these two questions on your website… and wherever you show up to do business.
He'll dive into building a website that drives inquiries, the purpose of every page of a website, what people are really looking for on a website, overcoming visitors' objections and the fastest way to build authority & trust.

From marketing to SEO, I've had the privilege of hearing Davey & Krista give multiple keynote sessions, as well as hands-on breakout sessions. They always go above & beyond, providing the audience with content that is helpful, relatable & filled with actionable takeaways! Plus, as a host they're incredible to work with - pouring so much into the attendees' experience. I'd asked them to speak again & again & again!

Meet Davey & Krista
After building a successful photography business and launching the Rising Tide Society, one of the largest communities for creatives in the world, we decided to make helping creatives build brands that book our full-time gig.
We believe in chasing hard after an intentional life—one that includes fulfilling work, palm trees and blue skies, time with our sons Jack & Bennett, and—of course—wine and pizza.
We’re here to help you as you build a brand that books so you can chase after the life you want.
we're Davey & Krista
GET TO KNOW US
Davey Jones is the CEO of Formilytics, the company behind the popular lead generation tool BDOW! (formerly Sumo), which helps business owners create pop-ups and forms to build their email list.
He’s previously co-founded two agencies including Davey & Krista, a brand and website design agency that specialize in helping people create brands that book through custom brand and website design and consulting.
Davey believes an effective marketing strategy begins with the question: How can *that* work for someone *like me*?
He helps businesses craft an answer to that question and then develops a strategy for communicating it. After years of running agencies that have managed millions in ad spend, he's seen firsthand the power of effectively answering that question.

the official bio
Krista Jones is a brand and website designer and one half of the Davey & Krista duo. After studying design in school, Krista spent several years working as a web designer for a nonprofit.
This lead to a career as a wedding photographer and that realization that life as a creative can be downright lonely. She went on to launch the Rising Tide Society with friends and eventually decided to make helping creatives run better businesses her full time gig.
As one of Showit’s top designers, Krista has sold 5,000+ templates, been named Showit’s Designer of the Year and taught hundreds of other creatives how to create a thriving Showit template shop.
Since building their first business, Davey & Krista have found purposeful and fulfilling work—and a life that includes palm trees, blue skies, time with our kids, and—of course—wine and pizza.
