●  Kickstart Creatives

Websites that handle the digital side of your business.

For small business owners who'd rather be doing literally anything else.

Let's chat

30 minutes. No pitch.

Handwritten to-do list with four items checked off and 'Fix the website situation' as the only unchecked task.

You're probably one of these three.

See if any of this sounds familiar.

01 the ghosted one

Your last web person vanished. Took your logins, took your goodwill, never answered another email. Now your site has a broken contact form and a copyright year from two presidents ago.

I'll handle the rescue.

02 the brand new one

You know you need a website. You do not, under any circumstances, want to spend a weekend learning Squarespace. You'd like to hand the website thing to someone competent and go run your actual business.

I'll start clean.

03 the over it one

You've tried the templates. You've watched the tutorials. You're done with the experiment and ready to give it to someone who does this for a living.

I'll take it from here.

Whichever one's you, I've been there.

Let's talk

What it's like to work with me.

  • Barb blends aesthetic instinct with serious technical skill. She created a polished, incredibly functional AI tools directory for my community. The structure makes complex information simple and works flawlessly. I can't recommend her keen eye for design and her brilliance at vibe coding enough.

  • What a pleasure it's been working with Barb. She knows the right questions to ask to nail down the vibe you're looking for. When I shared my vision for the animal rescue, she put together the perfect website that captured my needs, showcased the animals, and reflected my desire for a straight-forward vibe. She knows what you want before you do.

  • Barb developed an app for me to use in the backend of my web design business and it works beautifully. She really listened to what I was wanting to create, super quick to respond, and truly just a wonderful experience. Highly recommend her for your website and any app development needs.

04. The human

The "tech bestie" thing isn't a marketing angle. It's just how I work.

I explain things in plain English, tell you what you actually need, and handle your tech so you can run your business. No jargon dumps, no upsell theater, no disappearing the second the invoice clears.
