I have spent most of my adult life in the tech sector. I worked for years doing IT work, including running my small computer repair shop. Helping others with their technology problems was my life’s focus.
And then I married Ashley. While I had creative talents with technology, Ashley has always been a crafter. Soon after getting married, we started taking her crafts to vendor markets. It was a lot of fun for both of us.
But like many small business owners discover rather quickly, a storefront or market alone doesn’t grow a successful business anymore. Soon, I was learning about email marketing, branding, and how to build an online store to expand our reach. I made some websites in the past, but e-commerce is much more than the run-of-the-mill website.
Focusing down the craft business into a candle and soap business, we gained sales online. I also found that I enjoyed the process of building strategic service and e-commerce sites. Soon, I moved away from repairing computers and into web design full-time. And so Pacific Northwest Web Works was born.
Over time, I have built websites for all kinds of businesses. But my passion has always been with handmade creatives, service shops down the road, and mom-and-pop businesses. I love helping small businesses that are just like mine.
And since I learned so much about growing the candle business, I got a good feel for the marketing that goes into making a business successful online.
Your time is more valuable than sitting behind a screen, hoping to DIY a new website. Instead, let me put my years of experience to work and create your business an outstanding site.
