Whether you want to be your own boss or simply have control over your own website, you can go at your own pace with full support behind you. I’ve taken the guesswork out of web design, so you can skip the tech struggles and focus on what you love!

Hi I’m Grim and you probably ran across me in a Facebook group or two. You usually find me answering tech questions asked by Canva designers, WordPress designers, over worked and under payed VA’s – I see you girlfriend! 

Ok so full disclosure I’m not a great designer by most designers standards but I can prove good design starts with proper structure! For the past few years I’ve been fixing and rebuilding broken sites that were never put together right in the first place. I’m tired of fixing messes and I’m tired of seeing frustrated designers fighting against a website that is going to win in the end every time. That’s why I’m creating the Veda Virtual Network!

What is Veda Virtual?

Veda Virtual is a community-based program designed to help women who are ready to take their dream of web design, or current design skills and experience, to the next level—whether you’re looking to start a business, manage your own site, or just have the freedom to work from home on your terms.

It’s all about providing real support for real women who want to design websites without the tech headaches. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, an empty-nester, or just someone who wants a flexible way to make money from home, Veda Virtual is built for you.

Why Veda Virtual?

  • Turn your design passion into income: Whether you’re new to design or have some experience, I’ll give you the tools and community to make it happen.

  • Work on your terms: Imagine a world where you had the time to focus on the things you love in both your personal and professional life!

  • Ever-evolving support: The truth is, tech is always changing, especially in the world of websites. I’ll keep up with the changing tech so your time can be better spent elsewhere.

  • No-nonsense support: Hosting, maintenance, backups—everything technical is handled so you can focus on design, whether for yourself or clients.

  • An up-and-coming community of fellow women passionate about design: The truth is, being an entrepreneur can sometimes be a lonely place. Not everyone is committed to living their passion, and let’s be real… there’s no watercooler for us to swap ideas on our breaks! This community of women not only get it, but are enthusiastically bringing those watercooler conversations online!

 

What’s Included?

  • Your own website space: Whether you’re creating a business or just managing a website, I’ve got your back with all the tech set up (hosting, backups, updates).

  • A DIY-friendly toolkit: You’ll have access to everything you need to manage and design websites independently if you want to go it alone.

  • Ongoing support: I offer training, mentorship, and access to resources as you grow, whether you’re taking it slow or diving straight in.

  • Your own Virtual Website: When you host your website with Veda Virtual you get a virtual office like the one pictured below. Design it to suit your needs and use it to meet with clients face to face. Virtual Spaces are included with every Veda Space.

  • Access to the Veda Virtual Designers Community: As a member of the Veda Virtual Network as a DIY designer or a Certified Veda Designer you get access to a private designers only community. In these virtual rooms you will find places to network, work, research, and learn with other Veda Designers, and me!

What happens if I start as a DIY Designer but later want to upgrade to Veda Manager? Will I be able to keep the founding member price, or would I have to pay the full price for the upgrade?

If you start as a DIY Designer and later decide to upgrade to Veda Manager, the price will depend on the availability of founding member spots. If there are still spots available, you can upgrade and keep the founding member rate. However, once all the founding member spots are filled, you’ll need to pay the standard rate for the Veda Manager subscription.

As a DIY Designer, you’ll have access to the help desk Monday to Friday from 1-3 PM Central. During this time, you can check in, get support for any technical issues, and plan your work for the week. You can also set up 1:1 sessions as needed to get personalized help with your specific challenges.

In addition to the help desk, there are workshops on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays starting at 4 PM Central. During these sessions, we’ll work on your projects together, with time for feedback, guidance, and problem-solving. By 4:30 PM, you should be ready to dive into your project, and I’ll be there to help guide you through. We’ll stay as late as needed, with a break every 2 hours to recharge and keep the momentum going.
