As lead WordPress developer & technical SEO strategist at Upcoming Brand, I transformed Kelsowell into a vibrant wellness mentoring platform—leveraging Elementor Pro for dynamic program pages, integrated booking and lead‑capture forms, and performance optimizations to drive coaching sign‑ups and healthy‑habit transformations.
Project Context & Objectives
Kelsowell, led by certified WildFit coach Vassie Kelso, offers a science‑backed “FULL ENERGY 90” wellness program designed to help clients transform habits, balance weight, and boost energy without traditional dieting or excessive exercise The primary objectives were:
