“I’ve worked with dozens of designers over my 10 years of business and Anchored Design is the absolute BEST I’ve ever worked with. The re-design process was a dream! Aimee has attention to detail and read my mind when planning my re-design. The implementation of the design was smooth and there were no issues! I will never use another designer again!”

“It’s like you crawled inside of my brain and heart and designed exactly what I wanted, but I wasn’t able to articulate. Can you adopt me? I just love you and what you do! You really hit it out of the park. My website is now a true reflection of me, my personality AND my readers are happier, spending more time on the site and able to find the important sections much quicker. I LOVE it all.“

STONE GABLE BLOG

“Aimee truly is a pleasure to work with, honest, incredibly detail oriented, thorough, and organized. We had a lot of issues on the site from a previous developer and worked with us every step of the way to make the (sometimes troublesome!) changes we needed happen. My experience of her is that she will always put the needs of your business ahead of what’s easiest to do, and for that we greatly appreciate her work.“

IMMACULATE BITES

“Aimee easily integrated her ideas with ours, and the end result is beautiful and extremely functional. She also suggested simple changes to how we present our digital magazine, and it is remarkably more user-friendly now. Our page views have increased by 12% since the site update, and because our email opt-in is now located in more strategic places on the site, our subscribers are increasing at a faster rate.“

GREEN CHILD MAGAZINE

GreenChildMagazine.com

“I came to Anchored Design with an extremely complicated project that required a lot of out-of-the-box thinking. I knew I wanted a Genesis theme, because of the quality and the level of support, and I knew that what I had on our WordPress site wasn’t working.We had communication throughout the project via email, Dropbox, and Zoom. Most importantly, the final code of the project is clean. It’s been months now, and I hadn’t had a single complaint, only praise.“

Core Web Vitals are a subset of factors that determine Google’s “page experience” score. Work with us to achieve “double greens” and to ensure your site operates smoothly and efficiently. We start with a full CWV audit, then a monthly plan to attack the red and yellow scores until we reach success!

+ RE-BRANDING

If your logo no longer reflects your brand but you love the bones, we can re-brand. This process gives your outdated logo and branding board a fresh new look. If you’ve never worked with a professional graphic designer or you are just ready for a change, let’s update your brand to something that reflects where you are today and where you’re headed next!

+ WEBSITE UPDATES

Website updates are for past clients only. It’s an opportunity to apply a re-branded logo or branding board or update the site to reflect changes to your product, services or call-to-action statements. We can strategize a plan to update your website without having to rebuild.

My type-A personality focuses on the task, budget and timeline while keeping you in the loop along the way.

I’m a born again Christian that loves modern farmhouse, recipe creation, interior design, farm-to-table restaurants and gluten free bake shops.

My husband Lenny and I are raising our children in New Bern, North Carolina. If you’re ever in the area, let’s grab lunch!
