Websites for women building slower, more intentional businesses

I help moms and values-driven small business owners create calm, practical websites—while openly building my own pivot from corporate IT toward a more grounded, family-centered life.

ABOUT ME

I’m a mom of two toddlers, a corporate IT professional with over a decade of experience, and a website designer building my own business not out of burnout, but out of clarity.

I want a life with:

  • More presence with my children

  • More connection to home, nature, and what actually matters

  • Less constant urgency, consumption, and noise

I’m not burning everything down to get there.
I’m building slowly, thoughtfully, and in public—while still working, still providing, and still honoring my responsibility to my family.

This business is part of that choice.

WHAT I’M BUILDING

I’m shifting toward work that:

  • Fits into real family life

  • Supports nervous-system-friendly days

  • Leaves space for seasons, not constant growth

  • Prioritizes sustainability over speed

That philosophy shows up not just in how I work, but in what I design.

Calm Website Design for Real Life

I design Squarespace websites for women who want:

  • A site that feels clear instead of overwhelming

  • Structure that guides visitors naturally

  • The ability to make updates themselves

  • No ongoing maintenance contracts or bloated tech stacks

Ways we can work together:

  • Semi-custom Squarespace websites

  • Template setup & styling

  • Website clarity + structure audits

WHY “CALM” DESIGN MATTERS

A calm website isn’t about aesthetics.
It’s about respecting tired minds.

Most people visiting your site are:

  • Making decisions in stolen moments

  • Balancing work, family, and mental load

  • Looking for reassurance, not stimulation

Calm design:

  • Reduces decision fatigue

  • Builds trust through familiarity

  • Helps the right people say yes—and the rest move on peacefully

This is design as support, not performance.

THE RECLAIMED LIFE

Building the Pivot in Public

Alongside client work, I document my transition from corporate IT to values-aligned self-employment.

I share:

  • The real numbers (survival income, timelines, tradeoffs)

  • How I’m reducing consumption before increasing income

  • What it looks like to build while still employed

  • How motherhood reshapes the way I define success

This isn’t content for going viral.
It’s for women quietly asking: “Is there another way?”

WHO THIS IS FOR

This space is for you if:

  • You’re craving slower, steadier work

  • You want a business that supports your family—not replaces it

  • You value clarity, intention, and sustainability

  • You want a website that works without constant tending

If you’re chasing fast growth, aggressive scaling, or aesthetic novelty for its own sake—this likely isn’t the right fit.

And that’s intentional.

You don’t need to burn your life down to build something better.

You can choose care over chaos.
You can build in seasons.
You can create work that reflects the world you want your children to grow up in.

That’s what I’m doing—one careful step at a time.
