A beautiful website is just the beginning. You need one that:

✓ Fills your practice with the clients you’re looking for

✓ Feels authentically you (and doesn’t look like every other boring therapist website!)

✓ Showcases your experience and credentials without sounding stuffy

✓ Simplifies admin processes—like booking a consultation call or downloading intake forms—so you can focus on your clients

✓ Supports your long-term vision for your practice

✓ Makes the right-fit clients say, “this is exactly who I’ve been looking for!”

But building that kind of website can feel overwhelming. Especially when you're juggling clinical work, the business side of your practice, and trying to figure out how to rank higher on Google in your spare time. That’s where I come in!

Hi, I’m Maggie. I design websites for therapists.

I created Handmade Web Studio as a way to blend my innate pull toward deep, human connection with my nerdy love of designing and building beautiful websites.

I’ve been on the therapist side.

I have a Master’s in Social Work from Smith and have worked in clinical settings. I also grew up with a psychotherapist mom (we can unpack that later!), and understand the language, ethics, and emotional labor behind the work you do.

I’m also a seasoned web designer.

With a degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Stanford and seven years as a web UX designer, I know how to build thoughtful, user-friendly websites.

What ties it all together? Connection.

Clients often tell me they felt truly heard during our work together. I care deeply about the collaborative process, and I believe the best websites come from genuine partnership.
