Personal Brand Websites
A site that carries your name.
Architecture, narrative, and conversion paths for the person behind the P&L — built to compound with podcast, book, and consult. Catalyst works with trades and home-service leaders nationwide.
Definition
Personal Brand Websites are the digital home for a trades leader’s authority: bio, POV, media, book, and clear next steps. Execution can run through CI Web Group when build and demand systems are in scope; Catalyst owns the strategy and conversion design.
When should a trades leader use Personal Brand Websites?
- Your company site exists, but you have no serious place for speaking, book, or leadership positioning.
- Media and content point at a weak personal page that does not convert.
- You need a site that sits beside the company brand without confusing either.
Common Personal Brand Websites failure modes
- 01
Cloning the company HVAC site with a headshot swapped in.
- 02
Pretty pages with no Intent-3 path to a conversation.
- 03
Building before Personal Brand Strategy locks the narrative.

Proof
A live example: jenniferbagley.com — Jennifer Bagley, Founder & CEO — personal website, book, blog, and authority content under one name. Not a contractor company site. We design personal sites the same way: one composition, clear CTAs, and links into the pillars that make the person real.

What do trades leaders ask about personal brand websites?
- Is this the same as a company website?
- No. Company sites stay under Brand & Demand / CIWG company work. Personal Brand Websites center the leader — for speaking, authorship, recruiting gravity, and deal credibility. jenniferbagley.com is the pattern: personal site + book + blog, not a truck-and-offer brochure.
- Who builds it?
- Catalyst designs the system. When build is in scope, CI Web Group executes. You always know who owns strategy vs production.
