Efficient, Intelligent & Easy to work with

Megan is efficient, intelligent and extremely easy to work with! Our firm has used her services for 6 years and she has never once disappointed on delivery or timing. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any other small or medium sized businesses out there.

Megan was incredibly easy to work with

Megan was incredibly easy to work with. She took the time to truly understand my business, to understand what I offer and then was able to create something that I feel really represents my work. Her responses were always very quick, she was open to suggestions that I made and she made the process fun. I can’t recommend her enough she’s a gem!

Working with Megan has been so helpful!

Working with Megan has been a blessing. She was incredibly patient with me not knowing anything about website design and took her time to explain everything to me step by step. She’s really organized and delivers on time. I felt a sense of ease when we worked together and would highly recommend her to (and have been!) to my friends and colleagues.

Hands down best web designer!

Megan is an incredible web designer. She consulted and gave suggestions on things that I hadn’t even thought of. She was completely transparent about pricing throughout the project, made me feel comfortable about every step of the way, and delivered a beautiful new website which I have already seen an ROI on. I highly recommend Megan if you need consulting for your website or a brand new website.

I've worked with Megan on two websites…

I’ve worked with Megan on two websites and highly recommend her work. She has great ideas, is fantastic at design and development, and is highly responsive. She also happens to be a delight to work with, which is always a plus.

Very happy working with Megan

Megan did an incredible job! She is talented, works quickly and is super helpful. I would highly recommend her and I look forward to working with her more in the future.

5 Website Mistakes That Are Costing Your Nonprofit Donations

Your nonprofit’s website should be your most powerful fundraising tool.

Small website mistakes can have massive impacts on donation conversion rates. I’ve seen nonprofits increase their online donations by 200-400% simply by fixing common website issues that were silently sabotaging their fundraising efforts. With charitable giving reaching…

AI Tools Every Web Designer Should Be Using in 2025

I’ve watched technology transform our industry countless times. But nothing has been quite like the AI revolution we’re experiencing right now. The question isn’t whether AI will change web design – it’s how smart designers will use these tools to create better websites and deliver more value to clients. I’ll be honest: when AI tools first started appearing, I was skeptical. Would they replace the strategic thinking and creative problem-solving that makes great web design? After a year of testing,…

Should I Use AI to Design My Website? A Web Designer’s Honest Take

Fintech Website Design: Where Compliance Meets Conversion

The fintech industry faces a unique challenge that most other sectors don’t: creating websites that are both highly converting and fully compliant with some of the strictest regulations in business.

They treat them as complementary forces that, when balanced correctly, create websites that build trust while driving business growth. The problem is that…
