Custom Website Design & Management for U.S. Based Small Businesses
Whether you’re a contractor, creative, or small business owner, I build conversion-ready websites that reflect your brand, attract ideal clients, and simplify your online presence, all from right here in the U.S. You get reliable, personalized support from a real person who cares about your business as much as you do.
This Is What Makes the Difference
Strategy Comes First
You’re not just getting a pretty website. You’re getting a smart one. Every design starts with your business goals, your ideal audience, and a clear conversion path.
SEO Isn’t an Afterthought
From the first line of copy to the final image alt tag, your website is optimized to get found by the right people, not buried in search results.
Ready to Grow With You
Your business isn’t static, and your website shouldn’t be either. Every build is structured to scale with easy updates and optional management to keep things running smoothly.
Support That Actually Supports You
No ticket systems or faceless help desks. Just honest communication, thoughtful guidance, and real support when you need it.

What Our Clients Are Saying
I’m thankful for the work Brenna put into helping me launch a refreshed website for my counseling ministry.
She has a great eye for visual design and worked hard to incorporate thoughtful branding and SEO into the site.
I especially appreciated how gracious she was in receiving all of my feedback throughout the process. She invested a lot of time and effort, and I’m grateful for her creative contributions!
Kaitlin Niles, Owner/Minister
She took the time to understand who we are, what makes our company unique, and how to communicate that clearly to our audience.
Her design work has made ProjectGolfCourse and the LawnCaddie instantly recognizable and professional.
We constantly get compliments on how sharp and cohesive everything looks, and that’s all thanks to Brenna.
Paula Kluding, Owner/Operator
We are excited to announce we now have our website up and running! Thank you to Brenna Stanford and her business Empowered Designs! If you need a website or any other media needs we recommend them.

How the Website Design Process Works
Getting a website that truly works for your business doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s what the process looks like when we partner together:
1
Discovery Call
2
Strategic Proposal
3
Onboarding & Content Collection
4
Website Creation + Revisions
5
Final Walkthrough & Handoff
1. Discovery Call
We start with a one-on-one meeting to review your current site (if you have one), explore your goals, and clarify what you're looking for in a website. This is where we make sure we’re a good fit and define your project needs.
2. Strategic Proposal
After our call, I’ll craft a custom website plan and send over a proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and investment for your review.
3. Onboarding & Content Collection
Once the proposal is approved, you’ll complete an onboarding questionnaire to share your branding materials, content, and key information for your website.
Optional: Brand Strategy Add-On
Want to go deeper? If you opt into a full brand strategy, we’ll define your offers, audience, voice, and visual identity to make sure everything is aligned before we begin design.
4. Website Creation + Revisions
I’ll build your website based on your approved plan. You’ll receive two rounds of revisions to fine-tune everything to your liking.
5. Final Walkthrough & Handoff
We’ll wrap things up with a walkthrough where I’ll show you how to use and manage your site, including any integrations or apps you've chosen.

This Is for You If You're Ready to...
-
You own (or run) a U.S. based small business, creative studio, or contracting firm and want a website that looks great and generates leads.
-
You’re ready to invest in a strategic online presence, not just another template site that you’ll outgrow in six months.
-
You need a partner who can handle the tech, SEO, and design details so you can stay focused on running (and growing) your business.
-
You value clear communication, deadlines, and a collaborative process that keeps you in the loop without burying you in tasks.
-
You want a site that’s poised for long-term success, mobile responsive, search-optimized, and easy to update or scale.
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
🚫 This Is Not for You If…
You’re looking for a “quick-fix” $199 website or a purely DIY approach with no strategic input.
Your budget can’t yet support professional design, copy, or ongoing management.
You don’t have (or aren’t willing to develop) basic brand clarity, offers, audience, and goals.
You prefer to hand everything off with zero feedback, or, conversely, micromanage every tiny detail.
You need e-commerce, custom web apps, or enterprise-level development far beyond a strategic small-business site (but we’re happy to refer you).
if you're ready to have your online brand presence taken seriously, then reach out.
