Local Biz Cast Weekly Spotlight on Business Leaders
Dr. Pete Wohl of The Spine and Health Center of New Jersey proudly presents the LocalBizCast, a weekly podcast featuring conversations with prominent business owners andinfluencers throughout the area. Tune in every week for new insights, stories, and success strategies from local entrepreneurs making an impact in the community.
This week on LocalBizCast, we chat with Leann Frank, founder of Simple Rabbit, a powerhouse website designer helping small businesses stand out online—and win.
Leann’s story is anything but conventional: she was an English major, a PR and corporate comms pro, a stay-at-home mom of three, and somewhere in between, she taught herself to design websites that rank. What started with a self-built site about running for Board of Ed turned into 2,000+ visitors a month and a full-blown business helping local entrepreneurs craft websites that don’t just look great—they convert.
In this episode, Leann shares:
Her journey from Fordham to freelancing—and why flexibility was key
How great design and SEO go hand-in-hand for business growth
When to hire a pro (and when DIY is just fine)
The truth about entrepreneurship and what it really takes to get customers
Why a website is your #1 brand asset—and how to make it count
Her “In It to Win” community for Bergen County entrepreneurs
If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to grow your small business online or wondering whether your website is actually doing anything… this one’s for you.
