Built Support That Truly Matters – Kristen Mathiasen

Meet Kristen Mathiasen, the visionary who created familieguide.dk for a recent client. A valuable resource designed to help professional social workers connect families, often refugees, with trusted and competent support.
Despite the importance of its mission, creating the site wasn’t straightforward, until Kristen discovered Spectra.

Here’s what Kristen has to say:

Building a website with such an important mission wasn’t simple, especially with the challenge of presenting helpful resources in a way that felt professional, approachable, and easy to navigate.
Spectra provided the solution, helping me turn my vision into reality.

My Goal: Clear, Simple, and Supportive

The vision for familieguide.dk was to create a digital guide that makes life easier for social workers.
Not an overwhelming site packed with walls of text.
Not a confusing maze of links.
But a place where clarity comes first.
Spectra gave me the right balance of tools to bring this idea to life. No unnecessary complexity. Just the flexibility I needed.

Solving the Hardest Challenge

The most difficult part was how to display extra information without cluttering the page. Spectra’s popup feature with a button solved this beautifully.
Visitors get the information they need, without being forced to leave the page or lose track of what they were reading.

Spectra’s Container Block Made All The Difference

The Container block gave me complete control over the structure of my pages, and by combining it with my brand colors and layout choices, I was able to create a site that feels trustworthy and professional right from the start.
It’s a small touch, but it builds trust and gives familieguide.dk a recognizable identity.

What saved me the most time was the ability to copy blocks and reuse saved block elements across the site. Instead of repeating the same work, I could focus on refining the experience for visitors, which made building so much easier.

Real-World Impact That Just Works

For me, it’s not just about design, it’s about the impact.
Social workers have shared that the site offers clear, helpful information on how they can collaborate with Familieguide.dk’s consultants.
That kind of feedback tells me the site is truly helping the people it was built for.

And the best part is, I didn’t have to worry about performance.
With Astra and Spectra, the site runs flawlessly.
It consistently scores in the green on performance tests, and it worked right out of the box. No complicated optimizations needed.

Using Spectra in Future Projects

I’ve worked with Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery before, but now I only use Spectra.
It’s lightweight compared to those editors and runs on WordPress’ own Gutenberg engine.
That makes it faster, simpler, and far more reliable for me.

If I get customers who use other editors I help them, of course, but when they want a new website I always build it with Astra Pro and Spectra Pro.

Why Spectra Works

If trust is your foundation, Spectra builds the rest.
It’s not just Kristen who’s using it to create purposeful websites.
Hundreds of thousands of professionals, nonprofits, and small businesses use Spectra to design platforms that make a real difference.
