Hi, I'm Janelle 👋
I'm the owner of Desert Rose Website Works, a virtual boutique web design studio that provides custom, 100% human-made websites for heart-driven entrepreneurs, creatives, and nonprofit organizations.
I became a web designer because I’ve seen firsthand the magic that can happen when your website is a true reflection of your passion, expertise, and how you serve your customers.
Besides web design, my other passion has always been writing. Thus, my Short & Sweet blog was born, where I've been writing short, readable-in-2-minute pieces for business owners weekly for almost five years.
I hope you'll join our movement of creative, heart-centered business owners trying to make the world a better place every day.
PS: Yes, you may at times hear about my dog Hudson in my writing. What can I say, he makes a good muse!
