I always wanted to be a writer.
Growing up, writing came naturally to me. But I also loved science and math in high school, so when it was time to choose a course, Chemical Engineering sounded exciting and impressive. It felt like the practical choice.
Once I got to college, though, I realized it wasn’t the right fit.
I found myself far more drawn to organizing events, creating promotional materials, and thinking about how to get people interested in things than I was to my actual coursework. I enjoyed planning, structuring ideas, and figuring out how to communicate them clearly.
After leaving school, those skills became useful almost immediately. I was able to find work online supporting authors, copywriters, and small business owners. Over time, I expanded my skill set into design, SEO writing, and web development.
I’ve worked on more websites than I can count—across health, real estate, small businesses, and personal projects for friends. Eventually, I started building websites for myself too.
Your Health Reminder is one of those projects.
Building all of these sites taught me one important thing: websites cost money. Hosting, tools, maintenance, updates—none of it is free. But when a website is used to educate and support a bigger purpose, it’s worth it.
I didn’t want to fill Your Health Reminder with ads just to make it pay for itself. Ads slow sites down, clutter pages, and distract from the experience. Instead, I chose to do what I already know how to do.
I now take on one to two web design projects a month—just enough to support the site and keep it clean, focused, and ad-free. I handle everything myself, which is why I keep it limited.

Why your website matters more now than ever
A lot of websites today are still stuck with:
- outdated layouts
- clunky code
- slow load times
- poor mobile experience
That hurts more than people realize.
Speed, clarity, and usability are the same fundamentals platforms like Facebook prioritize—because they work. People leave slow, confusing sites quickly.
There’s also another issue now: scammers.
Anyone can spin up a fake page overnight. What scammers don’t do is invest in a real, well-built website. A solid site is one of the simplest ways to show that your business is legitimate and here to stay.
Then there’s the price problem.
Many developers will quote $2,000 or more for a rushed, half-finished site—bloated with features you don’t need and still difficult to manage afterward. That puts small businesses in a tough position: overpay, or put it off entirely.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
If your website feels heavy, outdated, or harder to manage than it should be, it’s probably time for a change.
If you think this might be a good fit, feel free to reach out and tell me a bit about what you’re working on. I only take on a small number of projects, but I’m always happy to take a look and see if I can help.
