I’m Julia Babiarz, the Founder of Gondola Design.

For more than two decades, I’ve been building websites that attract customers and drive conversions for businesses large and small.

Is building a website easy? With modern web-building tools, it can be— if you’ve done the preparation and laid the strategic groundwork. But if you dive into picking a template and uploading content before considering a few essential fundamentals, you can quickly end up with a website that leads to nothing but frustration.

That’s why I created this free guide: to help business owners understand what it takes to create a successful website— before getting started. Whether you plan to hire a web designer, agency, or use a DIY tool, this guide will prepare you for success.

Just a few of the brands we’ve helped:

“When I launched the first version of my digital marketing consultancy’s website, I quickly realized it blended into the noise. Working with Gondola Design completely changed that. Their holistic approach to brand identity and user experience pushed us to think bigger and deeper about who we are and how we show up. Julia didn’t just redesign the site, she refined Origin Story’s positioning, challenged our assumptions, and elevated our brand narrative so the visual experience matched our value proposition.

Today, our website is clear, confident, and unmistakably ours. It positions Origin Story as a leader in digital marketing, and when potential clients visit, they immediately understand who we are and trust we can deliver at the highest level.”

“In my career, I’ve worked with many people on websites and never experienced such a user-friendly process that ended up with people reaching out to me saying they love the site. Gondola Design delivered measurable ROI, elevating our brand while streamlining our creative process. Julia interpreted what was hard to describe, she asked a lot of questions, truly listened, then offered options that deciphered intent. Her strategic approach transformed our visual communication into a powerful business asset. Julia is absolutely masterful.”

“I came to Gondola Design with a mess of an old website. It was the unfortunate result of four different iterations created by four prior web designers, each with its own defects and deficiencies. Julia, with incredible patience, not only figured out how to modernize the website and better express Goldring Travel’s place in the luxury and expedition travel market, but also how to address all the errors.

Julia transformed Goldring Travel’s website into a powerful marketing source and an impressive calling card for Goldring Travel. In the few short weeks since the website’s relaunch, there has been a substantial increase in inquiries for solid luxury and expedition services, which is clearly a result of the more professional and engaging website.“
