Website Design

for Creative Work

I build websites for artists, makers, authors and creative small businesses

Decades of work across ecommerce, online content and digital platforms shape my approach to visibility, presentation and meaningful creative representation.

Projects include artist portfolios, Shopify and Squarespace sites, blogs and journals, fundraisers and nonprofit websites. All built with attention to presentation, usability and search visibility.

BUILT FOR HOW
WE SEARCH NOW

Search is changing. I build with both traditional SEO and AI-driven discovery in mind, creating clear, well-structured sites that help search engines and emerging AI tools understand what you do, who you serve, and why your work is relevant.

But your website can do more than tell people what you offer. It can help them find you through what you know.

Why is a weaver building websites?

And other FAQs

  • Weaving and web design both involve organizing individual elements according to patterns and rules, with each decision affecting the structure and function of the whole.

    In fact, the relationship between weaving and computing goes back to the earliest programmable machines.

    I wrote about that fascinating history in From Jacquard to GPUs: The Textile Origins of Computing.

  • I build websites for artists, makers, authors and creative small businesses, including portfolios, business websites, online shops, editorial-style journals, fundraisers and nonprofit sites. Each project is shaped around the person or business behind it rather than a predetermined format or style.

  • I specialize in Squarespace and Shopify, but can work across most major website platforms. In Squarespace, I generally build from blank sections rather than adapting an existing layout or template. Shopify requires a theme as its foundation, which I customize around the needs and identity of the individual business. I also use custom code and graphics where they improve the design or function of the site.

  • Absolutely. I’m based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, but website projects can be completed entirely remotely. I work with clients throughout Pennsylvania, the Northeast and beyond, and location is generally no barrier to working together.

  • Yes. You don’t need to arrive with finished copy, a complete site structure, or even a clear idea of what belongs where. I can help identify what your site needs, organize existing material, write or edit copy, and develop the structure and story as we work through the project together.

  • Yes! I offer photography, video and basic editing to help create original visual content for websites. This can include product and portfolio photography, workspace and process imagery, and short videos that help tell your story. Services can be included in a website project or discussed separately.

  • Yes. Search is considered from the beginning rather than added at the end. I build with strong foundational SEO, clear site structure, thoughtful content and internal linking, and pay attention to how both traditional search engines and emerging AI-driven discovery systems understand and surface websites.

  • Pricing begins around $500 for a simple, single-page portfolio site. Larger sites, ecommerce, redesigns, and projects requiring content or brand development are priced according to scope. After an initial conversation, I’ll provide a clear estimate based on what your project actually needs.

  • The difference isn’t in the tools. It’s in the decisions.

    Instant website builders and AI tools make it easier than ever to get online. Sometimes, that's all you need.

    A website that supports your goals deserves more thought, in everything from storytelling and design to usability and search visibility.

    I use AI where it's useful, but the tools don't replace an understanding of the people and purpose behind a website.

    Ultimately, websites are still about humans communicating with other humans. AI can reproduce the ways we tell our stories, but the stories themselves and the nuance begin with us.

Where to begin

Projects are collaborative and vary in scope. You don’t need to have a finished brand, polished copy, or every detail figured out. I’m happy to start with what you have and work through the rest together.

Let’s start with a conversation.
