Leslie Taylor · Websites, Content & AI
Websites, content,
and practical AI support.
I help small businesses and cultural, educational, and nonprofit organizations clarify their message, build websites, and learn useful ways to work with AI.
A website that needs direction. An idea that’s difficult to explain. We can start there.
Care and attention, from idea to delivery.
01 / Services
Start with the message.
Build what follows.
SOCIAL MEDIA & CONTENT PRODUCTION
Create campaigns that connect.
Develop coordinated social media campaigns, branded visuals, promotional videos, and compelling copy that connect your message with the people you want to reach.
You receive: An agreed set of deliverables, such as social media graphics, campaign copy, short-form videos, or a coordinated content package.
Websites
Help visitors find
what they need.
Review your website, organize its structure and content, and plan its next stage. Work with me for recommendations, WordPress development, or both.
You receive: A written website review and page plan, or an agreed set of WordPress pages ready to publish.
AI
Find where
AI can help.
Find useful ways to research, draft, organize material, and automate recurring tasks with AI. We can review a workflow, test a small automation, or work through the tools together. I bring production and editorial judgment to deciding what can run automatically and where your review is needed.
You receive: A workflow map or small pilot, with instructions for using it and clear points for your review.
02 / Selected work
Websites and workflows in practice.
Personal project
Black Bodhisattva
Website strategy, content, and WordPress development
Bringing a varied background in production, writing, education, and research into one clear professional website.
The site organizes the work into three services, explains what each engagement can deliver, and gives visitors a straightforward path to starting a conversation.
Focus: Messaging, page structure, service descriptions, and WordPress implementation.
Proposed creative work · Guided simulation
XYZ Company — Integrated Digital Campaign
Six residential painting social media ads for Facebook and Instagram, a proposed homepage, and a guided inquiry prototype connect the journey from first impression to human follow-up.
Developed by Elsewhere Studios for XYZ Company, a fictional demonstration business, this concept connects social media, website design, and a guided inquiry experience. The campaign has not yet launched; the prototype demonstrates the proposed workflow using illustrative inquiries and prepared responses.
A focused starting point
Give your website a clearer path.
A website is often the first conversation someone has with your work. Does it offer a clear welcome, tell the right story, and make the next step feel natural?
I look closely at your homepage and follow one important visitor journey, from finding a service to making an inquiry. You receive a thoughtful written assessment: what already works, where the story loses its thread, and which changes would make the greatest difference. We then talk through the recommendations together.
Before we begin, we agree on the scope, timing, and cost. The recommendations are yours to carry forward, independently or with my help.

03 / Meet Leslie
Producer, writer,
teacher, researcher.
I turn detailed information into clear messages, useful websites, and practical ways of working. My approach draws on experience in production, education, and research.
I spent ten years working as an art director and web producer, both freelance and with Carol Williams and Miller Freeman in the San Francisco Bay Area. My experience also includes periods working abroad in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Berlin.
I hold a master’s degree in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin. From 2018 to 2022, I conducted doctoral research in sociology at Charles University in Prague, focusing on migration, mobility, and belonging.
04 / The approach
Start by paying attention.
We begin with your goals, your audience, and the materials you already have. Together, we set priorities and develop the work in stages, with time for your feedback.
When AI is part of the process, that same care extends to the evidence behind the work, the judgments shaping it, and the decisions that need your approval.
My white paper, The Studio Governance Model™, explores this approach through four roles: Scout, Reader, Architect, and Operator. It proposes a framework for making AI-assisted work easier to examine and govern, with human judgment at the center.

We can work toward a single project or build an ongoing relationship, with monthly support or periodic help keeping your website, content, and workflows current.
05 / Writing & inquiry
Ideas beyond the brief.
Essays on contemplative practice, migration, identity, belonging, creativity, and everyday life.
Tales from Elsewhere
Personal essays on life abroad, identity, and returning home.
