No more wasting hours of your life updating your website and trying to find the passwords to the 17 subscriptions you have loosely holding your business together.

Get a beautiful new website, that converts and includes all the tools you need to manage your business and grow.

All in one place with one login.

No integrations. No Zaps. No Plugins.

Let's Get Started!

those late nights and weekends…over!

With one of my websites you get…

  • ONE LOGIN for nearly EVERYTHING you need for your biz. Think email marketing, scheduling, pay links, courses, blogging and more all in one place. No more hunting down passwords or using Zaps to tie everything together.

  • AMAZING CLIENTS that find you and think "oh thank god, this is exactly who I've been looking for"

  • INCLUSIVE + ACCESSIBLE DESIGN that doesn't accidentally exclude the people you most want to serve. (20% of the U.S. population is neurodivergent and your website should be easy for them to navigate)

Trade in your stress for support!
(no more burnout on tech!)

Hi! I’m Kate

I create custom Squarespace websites that simplify your business and help you spend less time managing tech and more time serving your clients (or taking that long overdue vacation).

My superpower is my intuition and being able to take your vision for your website and your business and bring it to life!

My business operates from an anti-racist + social justice perspective meaning that I design websites with representation in mind, which includes POC and LGBTQ+ affirming language and imagery. This also means that I treat each of my clients with respect, loving-kindness and compassion while honoring their humanity and individual needs.

More about me...

    Working with Kate has been a wonderful experience!

    She invited me to be as detailed and precise as necessary to get the look & idea I wanted. Led with curiosity and encouragement. Whenever I asked for changes, she did not hesitate to implement or explore the need and often found ways to make my ideas look even better on the site. She was thoughtful and accurate about timeframes for her deliverables, although I often stalled or took weeks and months to complete my text... it was comforting that she was patient with my process and maintained the ability to be clear about her time constraints."

  • Website Design Review

    I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get a website I love...and I LOVE this!

    “I am so impressed with what you've done...you've taken my vision from years ago and brought it to life!! As well as fixing some snafus that happened when the initial website was set up! I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get a website I love...and I LOVE this!”

    "Better than I had imagined..."

    What deep gratitude I have for Kate and the beautiful website she designed with me! Not only was the finished product better than I had imagined, it was also a joy to work with her. I went into the project with a sense of overwhelm because I had no idea what I wanted. Kate made it easy! I especially appreciated how responsive she was, how easeful it was to give feedback and make changes, and how she respectfully walked me through each design decision so that I felt like a full partner in the project. I have already been recommending Kate to others, and I will continue to do so!

  • Website Design Testimonials

    "I’m honestly looking for reasons to work with her again!"

    “I worked with Katie to revamp my original website which I had done on my own. I loved the old site but was looking for some upgrades! Katie scheduled a consultation call and was very attentive in learning what I was looking for in a new site. She was extremely thorough in explaining the entire process, from beginning to end. She communicated with me AND allowed me to view her progress with my new site. Does it get any better?! YES! Katie was incredibly receptive to feedback- every single time she provided me a preview of the new site she would ask for changes that I wanted. She truly wanted to make sure that I loved every detail.”

    About Building Connections Counseling

Let’s take a brief pause and see if we are a good match!

We are a great match to work together if…

  • You are purpose-led and heart centered! Your values aren't performative - they're who you are and how you run your business, and you want a website that actually reflects that

  • You've been in business for a while but your website no longer fits the direction you’re going and lately has been more of a pain that it has been helpful.

  • Generic templates make you physically cringe. I design templates that fit your niche and are unique just like you!

  • You're done with manipulative marketing tactics but still need your website to actually CONVERT

  • You're ready to invest in a website that works as hard as you do. Your business is growing and you are ready for a website that supports that growth and showcases who you truly are and who you are here to help!

If this sounds like you, AWESOME!
I am so excited to get to know you more…

Let's Work Together!
