We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of Pencil & Pen, a fresh new brand that brings creativity and connection to writing enthusiasts!
Nicole was already teaching the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) method, but needed the brand and business behind her to take her work to the next level. What I love about Nicole and the AWA philosophy is that anyone can be a writer — simply, “a writer is someone who writes.”
Nicole came to us with a vision and a mission, seeking our expertise in website consulting, logo design, copywriting, and the final development of her Squarespace website. Through a collaborative process, we crafted a space that not only reflects her brand's essence but also engages her audience.")

Playing off of his Florida roots, I had a lot of fun designing this playful Floridian themed site, that will surely book him more work in the future! I did everything from logo design to Squarespace website development.")

They needed a place to sell tickets, display the upcoming show schedule, and tell folks about the show. Using gorgeous photos from a local Portland photographer really brought this design to the next level.")

I've been working with these fantastic folks for a while now and I'm so happy they get to showcase their incredible work (supporting voter engagement and education in important local elections) with an incredible new Squarespace site!
For this project, I did everything from logo design, to website design/branding, to the actual build and dev on Squarespace. As always, Let's Make a Website! is a full service operation -- and loves supporting small businesses with big missions!")

Julie took advantage of everything I offer: new logo and website design, copywriting assistance, and Squarespace website development! We did it all. In the end, our website is professional and ADA compliant, but still has a ton of movement and personality!")

Like so many folks these days, Karen was switching career paths and when we first chatted, she wasn't sure what she needed from a website! Through lots of collaboration, I was able to deliver just about everything from logo design & colors/styling to Scheduling to web design & Squarespace development (and even some Copywriting advice!)
We are excited that Karen now has an online home for her brand new adventures as an Enneagram mentor & coach!")

We were going for the themes of joy, transformation, and New Mexico and I think we nailed it. I did everything from design to Squarespace development, to branded email setup. One of my favorite designs with one of my favorite clients!")

I created this site alongside a graphic designer and photographer - and the final product required a lot of customizations via custom CSS. Really pleased with how it turned out and I love Michelle's mission!")

Chris is not at all design-savy so he really appreciated everything I offered, including the custom iconography and Squarespace website design and Dev.")

She wanted big, beautiful nature images that shifted with the movement of the page... and I created a gradient so they could seamlessly blend into the text below. I love what we created for her!")

I came on to build the first iteration of this website back when the Hometown Project first started - and I support their mission.")

She always found the process intimidating and overwhelming. After 10 years (!) she finally hired me to do not only the Squarespace website development but all design, including logos and iconography. She was going for Caring, Compassionate & also professional. I think we nailed it.")
