Do you need a website built, fixed, or finished?
I'm open to clients and this is what I do:
I help your website do its share of the work: build trust, explain what you do clearly, and make it easier for the right people to get in touch.

I am struggling. If there is something I can do, one of my services you'd like to buy - please let me know. It does not have to be a big all at once payment. And please give me a boost if you can.
Thank you in advance. I really need support.

I like using my brain to decide where a light source goes in a scene or where text goes on a design.
The process gives me purpose.

We’re never going to live on Mars.
We’re never going to live on the Moon.
There is no Planet B.
We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have.
Because it is.

"I can't afford an artist or graphic designer" turns into "why do we have less customers than expected?"
Uh, because when you don't pay local people, they have less money to spend on you.

I'm opening two website projects for August. If your website hasn't kept up with your business and it needs to be more intentional, now's a good time to start the conversation.

Was your WordPress website put together in a theme editor you don't know how to use? And you don't have time to figure it out just so you can update some old content and links?
This is something I happily do for my clients in a flash. ⚡

Kind of an emergency situation. 🫠
I've had some expenses sneak up on me, and I could use some money right now.
No free hand outs though. I want to work for it.

Creatives and small business owners put off finishing their websites because the "easy" platform actually turned out to be hard.

I built a website for an author to help generate book sales.
I did it in under 24 hours.
They love it. No complaints.

"I can't reach my web designer."
I hear this from business owners all the time. And every time, I think: this didn't have to happen.
Responsiveness isn't a bonus. It's the baseline.

I have some open spots in my June/July schedule for new website projects and fixes. I recently wrapped up an elegant and minimalistic book catalogue for an author to help get expression of interest for their books. 😊

Getting attention is one thing.
Getting your audience to take the next step is another.
If the path from interest to action feels unclear, people drop off.
When it feels simple and clear, it is much easier to turn attention into enquiries.

There's people looking at your website but not buying?

I know a lot of business owners have a list of small WordPress problems they mean to deal with “when they get a minute.” And then months pass...
If your site has a few annoying issues that are affecting how it works or how it feels, I would love to have a look. Send me an email.

A website can look fine one day, then a theme update knocks things sideways. Layouts shift, spacing goes strange, and suddenly nothing feels quite right. This is the kind of website problem-solving I actually enjoy.
