Need a website designer for content-based marketing and lead generation website
I'm a local therapist who has been reading a lot about content-based (or educational-based) marketing and lead generation. I really want to re-organize my website to offer valuable educational content to families for free, rather than marketing my services. My current website is set up in weebly and doesn't offer the capacity I need to have landing pages for email list sign up and doesn't allow me to offer downloadable PDF e-books directly on the website. (Currently I have a sign-up on the webpage, which links to mail chimp, which then sends an email with the PDF in the email.) I also could use help integrating an automated customer relations management platform (Aweber? Convert kit?) into my website somehow. My current email list is about 60 people but I expect to see that grow over significantly in the coming year as I begin offering more valuable content to my readers. I'd like to send regular newsletters with valuable content to stay in touch with my audience. Also would like to host a podcast on the site at some point, or be able to embed educational videos for families.
Based on this information, I need a web designer who is familiar with setting up websites to do these things, and who can help me transfer my weebly site to a new platform. I'd like to be able to manage it on my own as my business grows, with help from the web designer as needed for major changes. Does anyone have someone they can recommend?

I use Weebly for my biz. It's time-consuming to set up these things ourselves. If that's true for you and are looking for help, I dont have any local referrals to share.
1. However, there is a fab site with
folks in other countries who can earn a living wagewhen you hire them. The site's name is odesk. (include the"o.")
2. Re: Weebly. Call them and lay out what you need. Who knows? They might be helpful.
BEST OF LUCK

I'd like to recommend Pagepoint Web Solutions, based here in Berkeley.
The owner is Aaron Gobler, and his company helped in the design of my website. At the same time, you might want to consult with his wife, Lisa Cain, in terms of help with marketing — especially free social media. Lisa has a Ph.D. in marketing from the Wharton School and teaches at Mills College. Her company is called MarketingU, and she offers a free 30 minute initial consultation.
My web designer is Sarah Lenz. She is amazing. Here is a link to my website if you'd like to get an idea of her work. www.familyplaytherapy.com. Many of the specific things you are requesting are not part of my website but I have never had an idea and had Sarah say it can't be done. I recommend giving her a call. 510-590-7699 or check out her website at www.smartloftstudio.com.
