Supporting creatives and small business owners in sharing their visions and talents with the world

Dynamic and engaging Squarespace websites that rank well on Google

Squarespace Web Designer and SEO Expert

Hi, I’m Elaine!

I’m a Squarespace Web Designer and SEO Expert. My path to designing Squarespace websites came after a long career as a photojournalist for newspapers across the US. When Squarespace first launched, it debuted as a platform for photographers to showcase their portfolios, and I helped several friends and colleagues build their first websites.

Squarespace has since evolved dramatically into one of the most intuitive and flexible web platforms on the market, perfect for businesses of all sizes and types.

My client base is global and consists of many artists, photographers, and small business owners looking to grow an online presence, sell their services and products, and drive traffic to their offerings. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s chat. I’d love to help!

She approached it holistically and full circle- I am so grateful to her.
