The name, 1 Happy Place, reflects one of my primary goals of ensuring my clients feel comfortable and happy with their web presence. I have been a Software Developer for 30 years and love to take the real world and bring it into the digital space. As a full-stack developer, I work with WordPress, Shopify and other technologies that best serve my clients.
I take the time to get to know my clients and their work to build a website that serves their business goals. I create designs that bring the work front and center, so visitors to the website focus only on the work and not the website itself.
Websites can keep pace with the ebb and flow of an artist’s work. Once the website is launched, I provide affordable hosting and provide support over the long term, ensuring the website is always fresh, reflects the current business and runs smoothly.
