How I Can Help
Great strategy isn’t reserved for large companies with massive budgets. High-impact improvements should be accessible to growing businesses and nonprofits alike. That’s where KO Consulting comes in.
I work with small businesses and mission-driven organizations to refine what matters most—delivering experiences that meet and exceed your clients' expectations.

Do you know that your website isn’t landing quite right, but you aren’t sure how to fix it?

Are you curious about why (potential) clients aren’t engaging with your organization the way you anticipated?
-
Do you know your website needs to be updated, but you simply don’t have the time to make the changes?
Kirsten @ KO Consulting combines formal training in social science research, online content expertise, and familiarity with current website accessibility guidelines to help small businesses and nonprofits increase their website’s effectiveness and expand their client base.
