Helping good work find its audience
I design and build websites that look great, welcome every visitor, and tell your story clearly.
I bring more than 25 years of experience to projects for nonprofits, artists, and mission-driven businesses, and I’m still excited by the ways the web can connect people and bring about change for good. I take a project from first sketch through launch, guiding big-picture decisions and ensuring the final product is both beautiful and functional. For larger projects, I work with Clever Name Here, a close-knit team of developers who specialize in helping nonprofits.
What I offer
Expert guidance, collaboration you’ll enjoy, and a website that works
A site built for your needs
I’ll work with you to design a website that fits your organization, whether that’s a one-page event site or a full content-managed platform. I can build sites that take donations, handle event registration, sell courses or products, and speak to visitors in more than one language.
WordPress · Drupal · Squarespace · Shopify · static HTML
A site everyone can use
I design and build sites that work for people of all abilities, whether they navigate by keyboard, rely on a screen reader, or need stronger contrast to read comfortably. I can build to WCAG 2.2 AA from the start or review your current site and fix what’s missing.
WCAG 2.2 AA · ADA
A solid foundation, easy to find
I can move your site to a new host or platform without losing traffic or email and set up your domain, DNS, and security so you don’t have to think about them. I’ll also make sure search engines and AI assistants can find your site and describe it accurately.
Hosting · DNS · Cloudflare · Search
A consistent brand everywhere
I design brochures, posters, event materials, business cards, logos, and mobile app screens that match your other material, so your brand holds together everywhere.
Print · Event materials · App UI
Why work with me
I’m easygoing, organized, and quick to respond.
Personal attention
You’ll work with me directly. When a project needs more hands, I bring in colleagues from Clever Name Here, an expert team that makes collaboration easy.
Advice on the right tools
Whether it’s WordPress, Drupal, Shopify, Squarespace, or hand-coded HTML, I’ll help you choose what fits your budget, team, and goals.
Smooth transitions for existing sites
Inherited a site from a developer who moved on? I sort out what’s there, fix what’s broken, and keep it running.
Accessible websites from the start
I design and build to WCAG 2.2 AA, so your site works for more of your audience and meets ADA expectations.
Websites you can update yourself
I set up your site so your team can edit it, and I walk you through how.
Support after launch
I stay on call for updates, fixes, and the occasional emergency long after the site goes live. I’m still working with clients I met in 2000.
