Helping Good Brands Do More Good
Independent web designer dedicated to helping conscious companies & nonprofits do more good in the world.
I do everything from strategy, copywriting, to web design & development, creating work that leaves a lasting impact.
In today's world, first impressions matter more than ever. If your website looks bad, has unclear messaging, or is hard to use — it’s hurting your growth more than you think. I help conscious companies and nonprofits stand out with websites that impress, drive action, and grow impact.

"It was a smooth process thanks to his excellent communication skills."
“I definitely recommend working with Gabriel. He did a great job with our website design and it was a smooth process thanks to his excellent communication skills.
“In the beginning, we didn’t have a lot of time to improve our website and we were not sure how much time it would take to get a new website. We got a recommendation from an ally organization to hire Gabriel. During the process, we felt supported, not judged. Appreciated his patience. Gabriel is a great listener. The strategy meetings were very helpful for us to understand what we wanted to achieve and Gabriel did a great job facilitating them.
“Our new website will definitely improve our communications with our members, since we introduced the member only area. Our website now has a more professional look and it is important for a young organization like People’s Solar Energy Fund.”

"I will NEVER work with another website designer ever again!"
“Gabe is the man! I will NEVER work with another website designer ever again! I’ve had my fair share of disasters and wasted money. Gabe is a diamond in the rough.
“He has now constructed 5 websites for me in a few short months. He works lightning fast, and I am constantly getting complimented on how professional my websites look.

Process
Strategy to Launch in 6–12 Weeks
Senior-led, end-to-end process. One point of contact, personalized support, clear decisions, and tight execution.
Strategy
Two focused working sessions. First, we get crystal clear on the brand: audience, promise, proof, voice, and the simple story that earns trust. Second, we map out the website strategy: goals, key actions, structure, needed content, and look-and-feel. We leave with the entire team aligned.
Content Creation
We write out the entire site. I draft every page section-by-section, set the objective for each page, and note the next step we want a visitor to take. I interview you where needed, pull resources from your team, and refine with you in short review cycles. When the words are clear and say exactly what we need, we lock content for the build.
Design, Build & Launch
Design and build run together in a live environment. You watch the site take shape on a private link and we review on a steady rhythm until the site is ready. Then QA across devices, performance checks, final refinements, launch, and a clean handoff. You get ongoing website management from me, and all the training your team needs.
How involved do we need to be?
I manage everything from strategy to launch, so you can focus on your mission. We’ll have a few scheduled check-ins, but you won’t be pulled into endless meetings. I’ll only reach out when necessary.
Do you offer ongoing hosting & website support?
Absolutely. I provide industry-leading website management and support packages to keep your site fast, secure, and up to date—so you’re free to keep doing what you do best.
My plans also include optional monthly 30-minute consultations where we can discuss your website’s performance, new goals, and any adjustments needed.
Lastly, I plant trees to offset website energy usage:
We need something faster than 6 weeks.
No problem. Depending on the size of your project, I may be able to accomodate. I encourage you to book a Clarity Call with me, and we can likely work something out.
We already have a site, do we have to start from scratch?
It’s ideal to rebuild with a fresh foundation to get the best results. We can smoothly migrate any existing content you want to keep, but a brand-new build delivers the most impact.
What if we have a small team or limited resources?
Many of my clients are lean nonprofits and organizations. My approach is designed to accommodate busy teams without creating more work for you.
We’re not very tech-savvy—will we be able to update the site ourselves?
If you want, yes. All of my sites are user-friendly. After launch, I provide training and documentation for every function your team needs, so you can easily make minor updates if you choose. If you prefer to have someone else do it and save your time, you can always rely on my website management plans for ongoing support.
We don’t have brand guidelines or a solid marketing plan.
No worries. I can help shape your brand’s visuals and strategy as part of our process. This is a common step for many of my clients.
Who do you work with?
- Nonprofit & Social Impact: Foundations, charities, social enterprises, Indigenous affairs, land trusts
- Regenerative Land & Food Systems: Permaculture, biodynamics, green builders, co-ops
- Health & Wellness: Herbal medicine, TCM, yoga studios, wellness schools, organic nutrition
- Alternative Education: Waldorf, Montessori, forest schools, homesteading education
What platform do you build sites on, and how do they perform?
I build completely custom sites on WordPress using clean, optimized code. All of my sites are built to a very high performance standard. That means faster load times, better search rankings, and a simpler way to make updates. Everything is tailored to your needs, so your site stays secure, stable, and ready to scale.
Will my site meet accessibility standards?
I follow best practices for accessibility (like ADA compliance) to ensure that everyone can use your site, regardless of ability.
Can you integrate our donation system or membership portal?
Yes. I routinely work with nonprofit tools like donation platforms, membership plugins, and other specialized systems to make your site work seamlessly. I can also set up new ones, and I am a FundraiseUp Partner.
What’s your pricing?
The exact number depends on your site’s scope and complexity. During the Clarity Call, I will be able to get a good sense of the needs and scope and can provide a ballpark range.
