November Updates and a New Playlist

Published 6 months ago • 3 min read

Hello, Reader! I'm so excited to share that my newly rebranded and revamped website (with new offerings!) will be launching this week! This has been such a long road to get to this point in my brand and I am so very grateful for the guidance, and support (not to mention patience) that I have received from my mentors, my family, my animal "children" and of course, loyal readers like you!

To stay in the know about the launch, you can follow me on Instagram at @brielouisedesign and @brielouisezimmerman.

New Specials for November

As we move into November, I wanted to share some new specials I am offering for design clients.

  • All new clients will receive 10% off any design service with code CRESCENDO. This deal is ongoing and I am deciding on whether or not to keep it permanent.
  • All clients (both new and returning) will save $100 on any design service until Dec. 31st, 2023. This is in addition to the 10% for new clients - so if you have been on the fence about investing in branding, re-branding, custom web design, or semi-custom design, now is the best time to do it!
  • Black Friday special TBA

Some of my peers may think I am cuckoo-pants for offering so many discounts on top of each other, but I understand that this is a costly investment and with the holidays approaching, I wanted to make sure you would be able to afford to invest in your business/brand! I also offer payment plans too!

Looking for Template Testers!

If you've been wondering how Showit stacks up against other drag-and-drop editors (like Wix or Squarespace), now is your chance to check it out for FREE! I'm in the process of getting my template shop ready and I would love to have a few people test out some of them to make sure they are sale ready!

Not only would you get to try Showit for a full two weeks for free (no credit card needed), but you could test out one of my Templates for Free as well - in exchange, I would ask for honest feedback and a review (I will send over a form you can use). Not a bad gig!

Interested peeps, can either respond back to this email or reach out to me at brielouise@briezimmerman.com

Monthly Inspiration: The Perfect Blend

Last month, I started offering a free, curated playlist that you could listen to. My goal is to share music of a wide variety and genres to inspire your creativity, motivate, energize, uplift, destress, or even introduce you to new styles you may not think to listen to on your own.

Each month will focus on a specific theme and all of the songs will be carefully selected to reflect that theme. This month, the theme is "Inspiration for Creativity". The songlist includes modern songs and I chose them specifically for how they inspired me in terms of website or brand designs.

It's no secret that I am a professional classical singer and musician and that music is an integral part not only of my life but my brand and design process. And ever since getting into web design, my brain processes and translates music differently. On one hand, I am analyzing a song as a musician, and on the other, I am translating the rhythms, tempos, dynamics, mood, singer's voice (color, weight, technique), and language into design elements. Thinking this way has really helped inspire me! Likewise, design has helped me with singing. The layouts, fonts, color palettes, and vibe of a website have helped me to better interpret a character in an Aria I am learning or to approach a piece differently.

I would love to know how you were inspired by this playlist!

Listen to it here:

Until next time!

With warmth, melody, and creativity,


"The Curtain Call" is not just a newsletter; it's a creative celebration where the worlds of music and web design blend seamlessly. Join me on this inspiring journey as we harmonize art and technology, crafting a digital stage where your creativity can truly shine.

Hey there, Reader! I was working on some of my song repertoire for a music project and I decided that I wanted to share what I was working on - imperfect moments and all.

And then this got me thinking.... Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media, admiring the work of other artists, only...
