I spent over 20 years in corporate America working in finance. I was good at it. But it was never mine. When I finally made the leap and started building businesses of my own, I hit the same wall so many of my clients hit today. I had something great, and no idea how to make the internet prove it.
That frustration sent me down a rabbit hole of design, marketing strategy, and conversion copywriting. And somewhere in that process, I fell completely in love with it. Building websites that actually work, that show up in search, that build trust, that get people to take action became my thing.
What started as a passion project turned into 12 years of helping small business owners (over 100 of them) build websites that do more than look pretty. I fused everything I learned in corporate and marketing with everything I know about design, and I built a service that gives you all three: beautiful design, conversion copy, and SEO — in one week.
Because you shouldn't have to hire three different people to get a website that works.
BEHIND THE BRAND
Create with Coley is still growing and I wouldn't have it any other way. Over 100 small businesses served, countless websites launched, and a whole lot of dream clients found. This is just the beginning.
2024
After a season as a Marketing Manager that taught me everything about running a business, I officially launched Create with Coley as a full-time web designer.
2023
Layoff number three happened. I sat in that conference room and cried and felt completely relieved. I knew it was finally time to follow my dreams of website design.
2020
It all started with PTSD, a blog, and the need for a website. Never did make it to step two. But clients started coming while I did this as a side hustle and the rest has been history.
2014
Started a 20-year career in accounting — worked my way up the corporate finance ladder and made it to the top. Hated every minute of it.

A brief look at where I started and the milestones I have hit along the way
I built this business because I believe every woman-owned business deserves a website that works as hard as she does. Not just something that looks good, something that actually brings clients in the door.
Design is my love language. Strategy is my superpower. And watching a client's face when she sees her finished website for the first time? That never gets old.
