Web Design & Development

Thoughtful websites, built to last.

I design and build custom websites for small businesses, nonprofits, and independent professionals. Whether you need a new site or a strategic rebuild, I’ll deliver something clear, durable, and tailored to your goals.

Approach & Capabilities

Before anything is built, I work to understand what matters to you, your audience, and the site itself. The design follows that understanding. These are the core elements I bring to every project.

  • Strategy-first design

    We start by clarifying your goals, audience, and the role your website needs to play, not just what it should look like. I'll work to understand your needs and listen carefully.

  • Custom development

    I build from the ground up, using WordPress or static tools depending on fit. No bloated themes or unnecessary plugins, just code you can trust.

  • Accessible by default

    Accessibility isn’t an add-on, it’s part of good design. Every site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 standards: screen reader compatible, mobile-first, and keyboard-navigable, in order to serve everyone.

  • Search-ready structure

    Clean URLs, smart metadata, and performance-first architecture to help people—and search engines—find what matters.

Timeline & Process

Every project follows a structure, but never a template. This is how I typically work:

  • 1. Discovery & Planning

    We begin with a shared conversation. What are your goals? Who are you trying to reach? What’s working, and what’s in the way?

    This phase may include:

    • Content audit or existing site review
    • Audience and needs mapping
    • Technical considerations
    • Budget alignment and scope refinement

  • 2. Design & Prototyping

    Once we’re clear on goals and structure, I begin designing. This might involve sketches, wireframes, or mockups — always shared early and refined collaboratively.

    Accessibility and responsiveness are considered from the start, not layered on later.

  • 3. Development & Testing

    The site is built using modern tools — WordPress or static, depending on what fits. It’s optimized for speed, accessibility, and maintainability.

    I test across devices, screen readers, and screen sizes to make sure it works for everyone.

  • 4. Launch & Support

    I handle the launch — from DNS to hosting setup to browser cache quirks. After launch, I can provide:

    • Care plans
    • Hosting
    • Documentation or training (if needed)

If something unexpected comes up, we adapt. If a better idea emerges mid-process, we make room for it. The structure exists to support clarity, not to lock us in.
