My latest organizer interview is with Janet Ireland of Space For Change in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Janet is a Trained Professional Organizer, member of Professional Organizers in Canada (POC), and Certified Supply Chain Management Professional through the Supply Chain Management Association of Canada (SCMA). Janet, what made you decide to start an organizing business? As I was preparing to…
When I launched Your Organizing Business, it was a standalone blog. A few years later, I incorporated it into my main website, OrganizedAssistant.com. Since then, I’ve been pleased to make Your Organizing Business into a valuable resource for readers both inside and outside the organizing industry. The downside is that there’s so much content here that it’s overwhelming. Even I…
I’ve recently had the privilege of creating unique WordPress websites for three distinctly different Canadian clients, and I’m excited to share them with you today. Caldwell Evolution Inc. I began working with Carolyn Caldwell several years ago, when I designed a WordPress site for her organizing business, Wellrich Organizers (now Altered Organization, and soon to be redesigned).

Even if your prospective clients don’t know or care about what’s in style this year, if your website doesn’t project your professional image and your personal brand, it’s not going to be effective in attracting…
If you’re bilingual or multilingual, letting potential clients know you can serve them in their own language can give you a significant edge over your competition. Diana Vela and Heather Shute did this by creating a Spanish page on their Moving On Organizing website. When I met Alison Lush at the 2010 Professional Organizers of Canada Conference in Montreal, she…
