Kaylin Devealt

Kaylin Devealt is the dynamic pixie powerhouse who’s widely known as the Power Palsy Chick. Born with cerebral palsy, Kaylin has combined the power of her personality and her life experience to become a prominent disability advocate and keynote speaker. She helps organizations reduce turnover by implementing accessibility protocols so that everyone can thrive. And she speaks on topics like organizational culture, disability inclusion, and overcoming adversity.

Kaylin needed a website for her new business, Palsy Power Chick Innovations. The website needed to spotlight her talent and make it easy for prospective clients to hire her as a consultant or book her as a speaker.

Oh—and it wasn’t allowed to be boring.

Challenge accepted, darling. I love giving women business owners the website they deserve!

The web design process

Kaylin was ready to play. She had a logo. A font suite. A bright, funky color palette. Several great photos of herself. All she needed was a handful of stock images to round out the design and a wording outline so she could give me the headings, paragraphs, and button labels that she wanted on the site. Sweet.

When I asked her how she wanted her site to look, the first thing she said was that the site should be simple, but not boring. Which, in designer terms, basically meant that I could play to my heart’s content.

I love it when that happens :)

To bring her vision to life, I let her personality inspire a bold, dynamic design. Kaylin’s the speaker that walks into the room with her majestic purple Cadillac (also known as her walker), a shock of ever-changing, brightly colored hair, and a contagious grin.

Her site is full of bright, colorful photos; background shapes in unexpected colors; energetic layers; and bold text that borders on being audacious. I leaned into the colors in her logo, too. There’s the warm green of the cerebral palsy awareness ribbon, a neon pink, and a bright yellow.

Do those colors technically “go together”? Nope.

Do they look fabulous together anyways? Yep.

Does her site match her personality? Hell yes!

I wanted Kaylin to feel confident about updating her own website. Like I do with all my clients, I created a custom training video that walks her slowly and clearly through the process. It shows her exactly how to update every single module on every page so she can keep the wording and photos fresh going forward.
