Bio

I founded LPS Web and Design to help entrepreneurs and small businesses build beautiful websites that work. I have over 20 years of experience in marketing strategy, IT systems, and website design.

I work with business owners to ensure your website creating a powerful first impression and delivering your marketing message. I’m a strategist and designer who believes that good design includes form and function, reflects the energy of your brand, and should be simple and strategic.

I specialize in WordPress because it makes it easy for business owners to keep their sites up to date, with limited budgets and resources. At my studio, I’ve brought together a team of smart people, with skills in strategy, design, and programming to bring complete solutions to our clients. Whether you need a simple website presence, an efficient storefront to drive sales, or integration with your other marketing efforts, we design websites that work.

WordPress Origin Story

After I left a long career in IT systems consulting, I took a few years off and then decided to look around for “what next.” Website and graphic design seemed like the perfect integration of my creative and design skills, IT and systems experience, and strategic consulting. I started a freelance design career, doing both print and digital design.

I became proficient in the Adobe suite and started building websites in HTML. When CSS and PHP came onto the scene and offered the power of dynamic websites, I was hooked. I explored open source solutions and did some work in Joomla before discovering WordPress. This open source content management system (CMS) was this requirements analyst geek’s dream.

Since then, I have built a small design and development firm that specializes in WordPress sites for small business. I love its combination of simplicity and power / flexibility. I can focus on the brand strategy and needs, develop stunning designs, add cost-effective plug-in functionality and deliver a site that works. My clients love that they can keep their content up to date in WordPress and that their websites actually support their business.
