WHY I AM A WIX PARTNER
This is where creativity meets capability.
Wix gives me the freedom to design with precision and purpose, creating platforms that don’t just look good, but work hard behind the scenes. Whether it’s a member-based education platform, a fully automated client portal, a luxury store or a complex service site, Wix delivers.
Explore the case studies below to see how Swim Team members are turning strategy into stunning, scalable results.
The Storefront suite
JC Rivera, an internationally recognized street artist known for blending vulnerability and strength through bold, iconic visuals. Voted Chicago’s Best Street Artist for multiple consecutive years, Rivera's work appears on murals, sneakers, and gallery walls around the world.
He began with the Sophomore Studio Suite to elevate his digital presence and quickly graduated to the Varsity Storefront Suite as his brand grew into a six-figure business and global fanbase.
JC RIVERA
Artist & Creator of The Bear Champ
“Working with Sarah transformed my entire business. I knew it needed an update featuring my new brand but didn't have the time to do the work myself. For years I had a typical artists website with an outdated 'about me' section and gallery of old work.
Sarah created a full-blown branded shop for my signature character The Bear Champ. featuring merch, prints, original artwork, and even service bookings for murals and studio visits.
She wrote incredible copy, photographed inventory, created an automated shipping system, and handled the SEO. Within a month, we went from page 8 to the top of page 1 on Google.
Our email campaigns were performing 4x's the industry standard and I was selling more than ever. We quickly hit six figures of income.
Since launching the new site, I’ve booked major brand partnerships with companies like McDonald's and Boost Mobile Four years later, I still use the site Sarah built, and the business is better than ever.”
The EMPIRE suite
When The Lending Brokers approached me, their team was handling all client paperwork manually. A time-consuming process that created friction for both brokers and clients. I built them a fully integrated digital system that transformed their entire business model. The new website doesn’t just showcase their international lending services, it actively runs their operations.
Clients are now automatically pre-approved through the site, with application fees collected instantly. Once approved, they’re granted access to a secure portal where they can upload their documents — which are instantly organized into a personalized Google Drive folder using their name. Every part of the client journey, from uploading documents to receiving reminders, is fully automated.
Brokers no longer chase paperwork. Forms fill automatically, email follow-ups are triggered without manual input, and internal processes are streamlined — saving the team thousands of hours and dramatically reducing overhead. The site has also increased income through consistent application fee collection and seamless upsells into consultation and credit repair services.
The Service suite
This site was developed for JJ Rendón, a globally recognized strategic consultant known for advising high-profile leaders, brands, and campaigns. Built as part of the Service Suite, the website is designed to establish JJ’s personal brand, provide a platform for client engagement, and begin the transition toward a more scalable model.
Visitors can now explore his approach, book strategic consultations, and subscribe to updates through a streamlined, professional experience that reflects his signature style and authority.
This phase also includes the foundation for an upcoming online education platform, which will allow JJ to share his frameworks and methods with a wider audience.
As JJ continues to evolve his offerings, we’re preparing to graduate this build into the Varsity Suite — a fully integrated digital ecosystem that will support both high-level consulting and scalable education products.
In the mean time clients can purchase his book from Amazon directly on his website. Creating passive income and building his email list.
The Studio suite
This Studio Suite was designed for creatives like Mira, a visual artist and stylist based in Miami known for her colorful, pop-surrealist aesthetic. She needed a bold yet clean digital space to showcase her personality, build her list, and sell merch. Her site is more than a portfolio. Its a place her collectors love to enjoy her work
Mira was a referral from JC Rivera who takes advantage of our rewards program that earns clients cash towards their future projects. One of the ways to do this is buy sending me new clients who book services.
This project began as a Studio Suite for Mira, and quickly grew to an e-commerce site. I elevated her high-impact personal brand that reflected her larger-than-life presence and unique visual identity.
The final delivery included a custom-designed homepage, email capture integration, and an online store. All optimized for visual storytelling and merch sales. The centerpiece? A fully branded header that captured her character, style, and energy with scroll-stopping appeal.
How it all began
My journey to becoming a Wix partner didn't start in a boutique studio. It started ten years ago in a public park.
As Marketing Director for the Grant Park Conservancy in Chicago, I led creative initiatives that brought art, culture, and accessibility into one of the city’s most iconic green spaces. From commissioning international public artworks to advising on civic monuments and designing campaigns for events in The Loop. My college Paul Kulon had just so happened to have chosen Wix as our web design platform and unknowingly changed the path of my life.
"With her dynamic marketing initiatives, Sarah has expanded the reach and engagement of Grant Park Conservancy to an unprecedented level.
She is "in-the-cloud" informing the public on developments in the park and motivating them to get involved in Grant Park Conservancy. Sarah has been a tremendous addition to the team."
