Website & Marketing For A Small Business
Are you ready for a digital presence that finally reflects the quality of your work?

The Real Reason You’re Here

You want to increase sales and create growth in your business, but you have no idea where to start.

You’re here because you think that maybe a new website is the missing piece that will help your small business grow. Or perhaps you’re here….

✔ Because deep down, you know something bigger isn’t clicking.
✔ Because your business has grown—but your digital presence hasn’t grown with it.
✔ Because your messaging feels a little off or your website feels a little behind.
✔ Because your marketing feels a little… disconnected (or non-existent?!)

And, you’re ready for a website that elevates your brand, amplifies your message, and supports the growth you know is possible!

Do you cringe a little when someone asks for your website link?

This is one of the most universal feelings, especially for those whose business has grown… but your website is still stuck in version 1.0

Or are you getting traffic and interest—but almost no conversions?

Traffic ≠ leads, and this is a common frustration! Founders think they need “more marketing” when the real issue may be conversion clarity.

Maybe you're explaining your business over and over because your website doesn’t?

Messaging gaps are the biggest root problem founders feel without knowing the cause.

I will help you clear the obstacles holding you back so you can Step Into Real Growth.

I help founders fix the invisible issues holding their websites and marketing back—so your digital presence finally attracts, communicates, and converts the way it should.

Schedule a quick call with me here to figure it out.

My name is Ashley Ponsolle, and I am quite literally the “Smash” in Smashed Ink. I’ve been in this industry for a long time (and if my picture doesn’t already give that away… I’m definitely not spelling it out for you). I’ve worked with founders across just about every industry you can imagine—not because I’ve memorized the ins and outs of each niche, but because I understand the mind of a small business owner. I get the overwhelm. I get the pressure. I get the “I know I need to fix this… but where do I even start?” spiral. I have degrees in Marketing, Advertising, and Design, but honestly? My real education came from dragging my own business through growth spurts, plateaus, identity crises, and at one point… four solid years without a decent website, even though I’m a web designer. Why? Because when it’s your business, the vision is too close. The emotions are too loud. The clarity is scattered. And sometimes you just need an outside perspective with logic, strategy, and a calm brain to say, “Here’s what actually matters. Here’s what we’re going to do.”

Hi, i'm Ashley Ponsolle

What you need to know about me

And yes—AI exists. You may have ChatGPT, a freelancer, a marketing assistant, or a million ideas pinned to your Pinterest board. But none of that replaces someone who knows how to pull it all together in a way that makes sense. AI is only as smart as the person guiding it, and without the right clarity and strategy, you end up lost on Planet “Too Many Options,” doing a little bit of everything and seeing almost no results. When you hire me, you’re not just getting a designer. You’re getting someone who has lived this, breathed this, survived this, and mastered the art of turning founder chaos into clarity, confidence, and conversion. What I bring to your business is something no template, tool, robot, or random freelancer can replicate—me. And really, you can’t put a value on 20 years of experience (shit, I said I wasn’t going to tell you that) spent failing, learning, rebuilding, and succeeding— all while helping other founders climb out of the exact same place.

GET MY COMPLIMENTARY REPORT

Before you invest time, money, or energy into a new website, you deserve to know whether your current one is actually doing its job.

This complementary SEO Score gives you a fast, tangible look at how well your site is performing behind the scenes — and how easily (or not) ideal clients are finding you.

It’s simple, eye-opening, and often the moment founders realize the web design for their small business isn’t just “a little outdated”… it’s actively holding them back.

Your SEO Score pairs perfectly with my Core to Convert™ process, giving you a snapshot of the gaps, roadblocks, and missed opportunities you might not even know exist. When you can see what’s working (and what’s not), you finally understand where to focus — and what needs to shift to move your business forward.

Think of it as the first clarity checkpoint on your path to a website that actually works for you.
