Services

Websites

Website packages include the full build and design of a custom and accessible website. Add-ons can include a dual-language toggle, a dark-mode toggles, SEO, and more. If there’s something you’re dreaming up, chances are I can make it happen!

Logos

Come with your ideas and inspiration, and I’ll design several logos for you to pick from. Then I tweak, refine, and finalize—and don’t stop until you’re pleased as punch!

Debugging & Custom Coding

Have a problem with your source code? Got a pesky site error that just won’t go away? Need someone to custom code a database, directory, etc? No issue is too big or small. Seriously!

Accessibility Audits

A lot of websites look great but don’t pass minimum accessibility standard requirements. I’ll perform an audit on your site and make the changes for you. You don’t have to compromise style for accessibility!

SEO & AIO

If you’re concerned your site isn’t performing well with search engines, I have an excellent track record of improving SEO (search engine optimization) and can optimize your website for AI search engines too.

  • I am unique from other web developers because I have both front-end and back-end web development skills and center your users’ experience in the design.

    I am a consummate problem solver. If you have a problem, I can likely solve it. And when I can’t do it alone, I work with a network of other experts in my field to come up with a solution.

    Also, I ❤️ designing logos and offer full branding packages that you can use to market yourself and grow.

    And I try to make the entire process as painless and as fun as possible for you!

  • UX stands for user experience. My websites prioritize the user and ensure an intuitive and pleasant navigation experience! My clients report that their users spend more time on their websites and the UX research and design leads to more donations for non profits and more positive user engagement. Email me to learn more about how I can do this for you!

  • I specialize in building custom Squarespace websites to meet my clients’ needs. I am also skilled at Wix, Canva, and Wordpress platforms though I far prefer Squarespace!

    If there is a custom feature you’re dreaming of, chances are I can make it happen. I love when clients bring me challenges in the form of coding. 🤓

    User-experience work is very scalable, starting at 3 hours—whether I’m working on a new or existing site. This is billed at the $160 USD/hour rate.

    If cost is a barrier to your project, please still reach out! I am sometimes able to offer sliding scale prices to clients with smaller budgets. And I am always happy to offer flexible and extended payment plans with no extra fees.

  • I work with mission-driven nonprofits, freelancers, and small businesses to increase the usability of their digital homes.

    I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ creatives and with small businesses and nonprofits committed to LGBTQ+ equality.

  • I primarily work with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

  • Kind design means prioritizing all users and their needs. It means creating a digital home that is comfortable and welcoming to all folks regardless of their ability or background.

    All of my websites are made with love. I am proud of my work and I strive to have a client relationship that is above all, based on kindness.
