Examples
Can't recommend highly enough!
I didn't really have a vision in mind when I hired Emily to redesign my author website, I just wanted something cleaner and more representative of my work (which has changed a lot over the years as I Frankensteined my website together). Her refresh absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. I truly love the result, and to top it off she was so professional every step of the way—organized, communicative, collaborative. I'm so happy I invested in a true pro who is also an author herself—she just gets it.

My Experience was Spectacular
I'm not knowledgeable about web design at all and had no clue where to even start, so having Emily there to create a clean, attractive website at an excellent price was such a relief. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but she took my thoughts and turned it into something beautiful that truly represents me and my books. She even took the time to record a bespoke tutorial video using my specific website. My expectations were exceeded at every stage of the process.

The website she built was, and remains, amazing.
I reached out to Emily several years ago because my website was in desperate need of an overhaul. The one she built for me was, and remains, amazing. She provided detailed instructions on how to make changes myself once the site was handed over to me, which is huge because I am not a tech savvy writer. Also, on the rare occasions that I've needed to directly reach out to her because I just could not figure out how to do something, she responded immediately and was able to solve my issue. I can't recommend Emily enough!
