your small business needs

Growing your business is exciting — and that’s how it should feel.

I offer DIY and done-for-you options to help you build a website & digital brand that will help you book clients, bring in sales, and make being a small business owner a little more fun again.

WORK WITH ME

Let’s take everything off your plate, shall we?

STRATEGY, DESIGN, storytelling

When you work with me, you’re not just working with someone who can code a pretty website. You’re bringing on a creative director who has the knowledge and experience to co-create a brand with you that’s in alignment with where you are now & where you want to go in the future.

There is a lot that goes into building a brand and creating a website — from SEO optimization and strategic site-mapping, to emotionally-connective copywriting and thoughtful font selections.

And if any of that had your eyes glazing over or made you feel like you’re never going to get an awesome website launched, don’t worry.

The great news is, I can help you get there.

Copywriting

Beautiful design draws people in, but it’s your copywriting that will close the sale. If you’re struggling with brand clarity, you’re spending way too much time and energy figuring out how to articulate what you do, or you can’t convert site visitors into paying customers — let’s chat.

Branding Design

Your brand isn’t your logo. It’s the composite of the colors you use, the fonts you choose, the way you communicate, what you stand for, and so much more. I’ll work with you to design a visual identity that’s as cohesive and thoughtful as it is beautiful.

THAT WEBSITE YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF? LET ME DO IT FOR YOU

Welcome to your one-stop shop for creating a website you can’t wait to show off.

From one multi-passionate, self-starting, recovering-perfectionist to another… I’ve got you. I’ve created strategic websites, swoon-worthy brands, and compelling copywriting for a multitude of industries. So whatever looming to-do list or project you’ve been putting off — you can take a deep breath (and maybe even a little break??), hand it off to me, and cross it off your list.

Hi, I’m Alana Tivnan —
website designer, copywriter & creative collaborator

ABOUT ME

I’m a detail-obsessed creative who can’t decide if she loves writing, designing, or coding more — so I do all of those things.

My favorite part of this whole deal is seeing fellow small business owners light up when they talk about what they do. I provide services that you need, because I want to help you foster more of that joy and excitement — and less of the overwhelm, stress, and second-guessing.

Client love

" We felt from our very first call with you that you were a good listener, had a clear vision of how you work with your clients and understood what your work can do to be helpful to them. It was clear you worked with a larger purpose in mind - helping small businesses represent themselves well and authentically. We can't thank you enough for your amazing work. It has helped our business immensely. "

— ASHLEY, FIRST & LAST
" I got a job just based off of the impressiveness of my website! If you need a web designer, work with Elo. It’s such a breeze to work with Alana, and she’s filled with wonderful ideas!! I tried to design something for myself, but didn’t have the skills to fully envision and achieve what I was looking for. She brought so many ideas I would have never conceptualized myself. It was refreshing and fun, especially since I didn't have to figure out the code. "

— NICOLE, COSTUME DESIGNER
" We’re proud to show off a site that people enjoy — both for the aesthetic and the easy functionality. Alana was easy to work with and guided us through the entire process in a smooth and efficient manner. She did an excellent job asking the right questions and getting the necessary information to bring our project to life how we envisioned it, and she really shined when we gave her just outlines of of certain parts and allowed her to show her creativity and imagination. "

— SAM, POUR BASTARDS HOSPITALITY
" Before working with Alana, I had a boring site and no site traffic. Now, I get lots of compliments from my customers and most of my sales are directly through my site! She brought it to life and has made my business so much easier. She has brilliant ideas, she works fast, and her work is phenomenal. She’s a great listener and really understood my vision. "

— MARIA, DESERT FLORALS BY MARIA
" If you need help with website design and SEO copywriting, you should reach out to Alana. Since working with her, I’ve seen an increase in consistent sales and site traffic! She’s very thorough — which is very much appreciated. After working with her I have a functioning and beautiful site, and I feel confident understanding SEO better and knowing that my site is actually optimized for SEO and set up for success. "

— SARA, ENUF PERIOD
" Alana is organized and on top of her work. I felt like she understood my business and was able to bring the right voice to SenHoma. After working with her I have much more clear communication with clients. "
