Your next step starts today.

If you are ready to truly share your passion with the world and profit from it, I’m here to help.

For custom project inquiries, please use this website design services form. Projects are handled on a monthly retainer basis so I am focused on delivering you strategic and technical value every month, and not focused on billing you by the hour.

There are no contracts to sign and clients can cancel or pause monthly project services as needed. Client projects over one month are managed online through Teamwork Projects software at no extra cost to the client. All project team members will receive a Teamwork login account.

Every goal requires a project.

Whether you are trying to build a new professional website, automate appointment scheduling, launch a new product, build an email list, create an interactive online quiz, or dream up something else online, you need a project.

If you don’t plan your work and then work your plan, your goals will be nothing more than dreams.

Longer-term client engagements also include a comprehensive online business and project questionnaire to get crystal clear on your goals and requirements.

You’ll be guided along step-by-step with clear and manageable project tasks (even if, like me, you have other full-time responsibilities to your family and career). I’ll also help with the heavy lifting related to the technology side of things (here’s the toolkit again).

A year from now, you’ll be amazed at what your business learned and accomplished because you started today with a strategic project!
