Discover actionable advice about Squarespace & WordPress design & development, search engine optimization, content marketing, and business strategy from Sarah and guest experts.

Wine et Beauté is a project of sommelier, wine expert and makeup artist Monique Benôit. Monique originally came to me because she wanted to start a Squarespace-based blog chronicling her new life in Paris.

But she quickly realized that she could use her new Squarespace website to tell her larger story, showcasing her portfolio (she’s worked in film and television makeup departments for many years, including on The Get Down, Boardwalk Empire, The Carrie Diaries, 30 Rock, Law & Order and more) but also highlighting her new work, which includes crafting wine and dessert pairings as for visitors to Paris as well as artistic makeup services for weddings. As a result, we created branding and overall creative direction for her project as well.
