Kate Bell
Since 2015 I have been working with clients to design
and develop functional, accessible, websites.
I am a user focuser developer, I build solutions that work
for my clients on the back-end and their clients on the
front-end. I work with my clients to figure out their
longterm website needs so that the solution I build can
grow with them. I specialize in building on Shopify and
Wordpress, but do use other platforms depending on the
client needs.

Market research is essential to my website and marketing development process, especially with clients who are
building eCommerce platforms, understanding my
client's audience is a fundamental part to how I design
and build solutions for them.
