Shannon Menard
I work with small business and entrepreneurs. My mission is to help you create a website that doesn’t stress you out. I have a Bachelor’s in web development and design with a minor in programming, and I work primarily in Wordpress.
Jess Switalska
I’m a designer with a focus in content creation for brands and social/print marketing. I design and build websites (html and Wordpress) and can do integration with Shopify or Woo Commerce for businesses that want to offer an online shop and/or online classes. I can help with site design and set-up, and also teach you how to do updates.
Maria Semple
I'm creating some very simple websites that are easy to maintain going forward and I'm using the Constant Contact platform to build them.
Kelly Bryden & Eoghan McNulty
Kelly and Eoghan come from two different career worlds but love working together to make thoughtful and creative websites. Kelly is our design expert. She's worked over the years to create stunning experiences for both the physical and digital worlds. Eoghan is our tech guy. He has a background in computer science and investment management but really enjoys making great digital experiences.
Jessica Skorich
I love working with all types of businesses. I’m a branding, graphic and web designer, and front-end developer. I'm basically a full-service agency in one person. I work most often in Wordpress and Shopify, but I can work in most platforms out there. I can also design graphics for social media.
Charlotte Jane
I’m a web designer and developer, specialising in Wordpress, as well as running an illustration studio, which is @hecreative on Instagram. I regularly work with both start-ups and established businesses who are looking to refresh their site, as well as entrepreneurs. I particularly love working with women to establish themselves as the female bosses they are. I’d love to help in anyway that I can, I’m probably most useful for website design or illustration! WordPress is by far my preferred for sheer ease of use for the client when I hand over, but I’m a full-stack developer and can work with any code or platform. I’ve literally designed and developed in everything! And I’m of course happy to work on both existing and new sites.
Brianna Marie
I’m passionate about anything in the interior design realm. I’m an avid historian and actually have done my thesis in green design relevance in historic restoration. I’m a military spouse, so all military affiliated/Vet/military spouse-run businesses are close to my heart. I don’t have a ton of website design experience, but I’ve created five for various businesses. I’m an interior designer, but 100% want to help in any way I can to help connect people to businesses owned by women of color. My website is currently on Wordpress, but I’ve also built on Wix, Shopify, and Squarespace.
