    Joy Property Management

    Joy Property Management is a local property management and realty company in need of a straightforward, functional web presence. I designed and built the site from scratch using Elementor and JetEngine, with a focus on making it easy for visitors to browse available properties and take action quickly.

    The centerpiece of the site is a streamlined property listings system that makes it simple for the Joy team to add and update listings, and for prospective renters to contact the company or submit an application directly from the site. I continue to manage ongoing maintenance and support.

    Maples, Nix, and Diesselhorst

    Maples, Nix and Diesselhorst wanted a website that set them apart from a crowded field of law firm sites. Their goal was to communicate that they are a caring, client-first firm that still delivers results.

    Built with Elementor and JetEngine, the design is bold without being overbearing, putting client testimonials front and center to let real experiences speak for the firm. Every design decision was made with the client in mind, creating a site that feels approachable and trustworthy rather than stiff and corporate.

    Wiggins Auctioneers and Realty

    Wiggins Auctioneers and Realty needed a site that could house two distinct sides of their business under one roof. Because auctioneering and realty operate with separate branding and logos, the site required a clear visual and structural separation between the two, while still functioning as a cohesive whole.

    Built from scratch using Elementor and JetEngine, the site shares a similar approach to Joy Property Management in how listings and content are organized. I finished the design from a handoff, carrying it through to a complete, client-ready site.

    Xpress Wellness Urgent Care

    Xpress Wellness Urgent Care is a chain of urgent care clinics across Oklahoma and Kansas. I came on to an existing Elementor and JetEngine build and expanded it significantly, redesigning the services pages, building out the locations map, and creating backend relationships between providers and the clinics they work at.

    When Xpress acquired Integrity Urgent Care in Texas, I led the design and development of the Integrity website from the ground up, modeling it after the Xpress build for consistency. To connect the two brands, I implemented a shared header and navigation so users can move seamlessly between both sites.

    Where Food Takes Us

    A travel and food blog I run end to end with a co-author, handling all design, development, and technical operations while they focus on writing. I built and maintain the self-managed WordPress site and own everything on the technical side: design and layout, hosting, performance optimization, image optimization, SEO, and site health. I also drive audience growth through Pinterest and Instagram, creating the visual content and pins that bring traffic back to the site, and I manage privacy and consent compliance. It’s an ongoing project where I get to own the full lifecycle of a live site, from design and build to growth and maintenance.
