A Little About Me

Katie sits in the middle of a shaded street wearing a brown sweater, jeans, and clogs with her legs crossed, hands placed on her legs, smiling and looking off to the side.

I’m Katie :)

I am a West Plains local who has found a passion for working with local business owners to launch their dreams online through website design. I’m a type A creative (very odd, I know), and I consider website design an art form I enjoy, especially when I collaborate with other locals!

Before I started designing websites, I had actually gone to grad school for child and family development and communications. I graduated during the 2020 craziness and found it very difficult to find a job locally that felt fulfilling and interesting and would also pay the bills. If you had told me then that I was about to enter the tech world, I would have laughed in your face—nothing about the tech field interested me!

I decided to try to independently start managing social media accounts for a few businesses here in West Plains. I quickly found that people were not interested in this at all, but through this, I was asked, “Do you do websites, too?”

I like to try new things, so I gave it a go! As I said before, I consider myself a creative, and I discovered the artistic component of designing beautiful and functional websites and potentially unearthed a knack for it as well. One client led to another, and now, here we are. :)

I am SO blessed to be where I am. I love designing websites, and it’s even more fulfilling that I get to pour into businesses and organizations in my own community this way!

About My Business

  • I exclusively design in Squarespace! This is for a few reasons:

    • I find it to be the most user friendly. If a client does not want to hire me for monthly management after their project is complete, I feel comfortable turning over a Squarespace site for them to manage themselves. The community forums, help desk, and learning curve all make Squarespace one of the best platforms for website design and hosting!

    • It’s what I know. I don’t want to sell you something I don’t feel completely confident in. With a Squarespace site I can guarantee you’ll love your site by the time we are done!

  • I am only limited by the platform: Squarespace. If you have a big dream for your site, I will almost never say no unless Squarespace doesn’t support your big wants. We can meet to discuss your goals to see if I am the right fit for you!

  • I do not! But I can make a few recommendations.

  • Not anymore. I have stepped out of social media management completely. However, I have a few contacts I can give you if you’re interested in hiring it out!

Do you have more questions? Get in touch and I will be more than happy to answer them!
