Project Overview

About this project

David Baxter is an award-winning national speaker and leadership consultant. He runs David Baxter & Associates, LLC, and trains staff at firms, schools, and nonprofits across the country. We rebuilt his site in WordPress from the ground up. It now carries the same trust he earns on stage, and it turns event planners and school leaders into booked dates.

The Challenge

What was holding them back

Before we started, we ran a full audit of the existing site and the competitive environment. These were the core problems we needed to solve.

  • 1A speaker’s site has to win over one key visitor: a school leader, HR head, or event planner. They are often booking on behalf of a whole team.
  • 2Trust has to show up fast. Real, named praise works far better here than generic claims.
  • 3Three very different groups (schools, firms, nonprofits) all needed one clear path: book David.
  • 4David is on the road most weeks, so the site had to be easy to update without a developer.

Our Solution

What we built and why

Our approach was methodical: fix the technical foundations first, then focus on design and conversion. Every decision was driven by a measurable business result. Anything that did not move one of those numbers was left out of scope.

Start a similar project
  • A full custom WordPress build with Elementor, laid out as one clear story from the top of the page to the booking button.
  • A named quote (Brenda Cassellius, Superintendent of Boston Public Schools) placed high on the page instead of buried below. A named school leader’s praise lands harder with this exact crowd.
  • "Book David" buttons placed in every section, not one form buried at the bottom.
  • A three-part framework (Lead, Connect, Transform) that sums up his work in seconds.
  • A fast, mobile-first build, so it holds up on a school laptop or a phone between flights.

David Baxter: by the numbers

David Baxter launched in 2026 after a 2 weeks build. The figures below are the change the client reported after that launch. We publish the client name and a link to the live site with every case study, so the site behind these numbers can be checked.
