The shoemaker’s children finally have new shoes. My new ComBridges website is live at combridges.com. It was way overdue. As in, “How long have you been meaning to do this, Jon? It’s been years!” overdue. I was too close to it. Maybe you can relate. It’s so much easier to see someone else’s work clearly than your own. What I needed was perspective. First, I stepped back. Then I used AI as a thought partner, both visually and with the messaging. It wasn’t about cutting. It was about reframing. My old services had been rendered obsolete. So the real work was framing fresh offers, concisely and accurately. I landed on three new ways to focus my services: Strategic Direction, Sites & Apps, and Video & Email Storytelling. My latest configuration of AI tools helped me build the new site in just a few days. WordPress and Squarespace were great for a time. Now, my new AI-enabled methodologies have taken my process to new levels, visually and conceptually. And it has expedited production dramatically. I now bring these same methodologies to client websites. If you’re too close to your own work, an outside eye might help. As an AI creative director, I do for clients what I finally did for myself. I step back and see what matters. Then I use AI to help give it a fresh frame, both visually and in the website's copy and positioning. If that sounds good to you, I’d love to talk: Schedule here​ And either way, please take a look at combridges.com and let me know what you think. I’m always psyched to hear from you. |
