What services do you offer?

I offer Squarespace web design, business mentoring for women solopreneurs, and Moon Pause online rest retreats. I help women create websites that feel authentic, develop their online business strategy, and find rest and renewal in their busy lives.

Do you work with clients worldwide?

Yes! All of my services are available online, so I work with women solopreneurs from all over the world. While I'm based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, my virtual services allow me to support clients globally.

Moon Pause is both a book and a practice. The book, Moon Pause: A Field Guide to Rest, Rhythm, and Returning to Yourself in Midlife and Beyond, guides women through rest and renewal. I also offer monthly online mini-rest retreats held on the New Moon. You can join live from the comfort of home or access the resources in the online portal.

Who do you work with?

I work primarily with women solopreneurs, especially those in midlife and beyond who want to create businesses and lives that feel spacious, authentic, and alive. I blend practical skills with soulful support to help women share their gifts online.

How do I get started?

The best way to get started is to reach out via email at hello@shelaghlenon.com. We can discuss your needs and see if we're a good fit to work together. All services are available by appointment.

Domain, Hosting & Your Website: What's the Difference?

Tending Your Online Home is a series of website notes inspired by real client projects. Small fixes, real stories, and simple ways to create an online home that feels supportive and aligned.

If there's one thing I've learned from working with women on their websites, it's this: the technical stuff can get wonderfully, spectacularly confusing.

Here are some of the things I hear regularly:

I think my domain is with GoDaddy...or maybe it's somewhere else.
My old web designer set everything up, and I have no idea where anything is.
I have a Wordpress site, but I want to move to Squarespace. Is that complicated?
I know I should know this stuff but every time I look at it my brain goes blank.

Sound familiar?

If so, you are in excellent company. And I want you to know: this is not a reflection of your intelligence, your tech savviness, or your commitment to your business.

This stuff is genuinely confusing.

And underneath the confusion, there's often something else. A feeling of overwhelm that makes the whole backend of your website feel like a drawer you'd rather not open.

So let's gently open the drawer together.

Three things, simply explained

Your domain is your address. It's the URL people type to find you, like shelaghlenon.com. Your domain is registered and managed somewhere, often a platform like GoDaddy, Google Domains, or Squarespace. Think of it as the street address for your online home.

Your website hosting is the land your home sits on. It's where your website's files actually live. This could be a separate company from where your domain is registered, which is where things often start to get tangled.

Your website is the home itself. The pages, the words, the images, the experience someone has when they arrive.

And then there's email. Business email is connected to your domain and tends to live somewhere else entirely, often Google Workspace. It's its own conversation, and honestly, it deserves its own post.

Try This

Open a document (somewhere safe and private) and start recording the following:

Where is my domain registered? (Check your email inbox for the original confirmation if you're not sure.)
Where is my website hosted?
What are my login details for each?
When do my subscriptions renew, and how much am I paying?

Think of it as a little map of your online home.
