I Build & Fix WordPress Websites
Hi, I’m Liesje—pronounced Lee-sha. With me in the photo is Molly.
I love to work with thoughtful people and organizations who have great ideas and purpose—but need help turning them into a website.
I’m known for being calm and easy to work with. I ask good questions and offer structure and process to keep things moving smoothly.
From building a new website or improving an existing one to refining content and handling day-to-day maintenance, I can help.
My goal? Make your life easier. Solve the problem. And keep things moving.
What I can help with
I work strategically to solve problems and use my objective perspective to think like your potential customer or website user. Here’s how I can help:
“My WordPress site needs love.”
From updating the WP core and plugins to adding new pages or updating a site design, I can do that. Need to add a new post or page but simply cannot remember how to go about it? No problem. I can also add SEO to your existing copy and content, and edit as needed. I work primarily with the Elementor/Elementor Pro page builder, but I’ve worked with other builders and content management systems as well.
“We have the copy… it just doesn’t sound right.”
I can edit or update your existing content, or start from scratch! I’ve also written ads of all varieties (from broadcast to newspaper/magazine to online), plus podcast scripts, emails, how-to guides, bios, newsletters—you name it, I’ve written it. I’m good at nitpicky details like spelling and grammar and I’m also a strategist, with a big-picture brain.
“We need to set up a donation form / payment flow / registration / email… thing.”
All kinds of day-to-day needs arise for any business, and they can be different one day to the next. I can offer a solution and then apply it, so you lose as little time/money between problem and problem solved.
Not sure if your task fits? Just ask. If I can’t help, I’ll point you to someone who can.
Specifically:
Here’s a (not necessarily exhaustive) list of all the ways I can help you. If you don’t see the exact thing you need listed, just ask!

- Plugin maintenance, conflict checks, backups, troubleshooting
- Creating and editing Elementor pages
- Forms, payment systems, email tools

- Donor materials, bios, newsletters
- Copyediting, proofreading
- Strategic content planning and structure support (what goes where, and why)

Recent projects
The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada: website design, copy + content writing
The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC) has been rescuing donkeys, mules and hinnies from situations of abuse, neglect and abandonment since 1992. I worked with the DSC to strategize, design, build and provide copy and content for a fulsome update of their website.
Think Logistics: copywriting
Think Logistics is a third-party logistics provider headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. I wrote the copy for this site, and learned a lot about an intriguing industry while doing so. A challenging and fulfilling project that I very much enjoyed.
Crosby Lake Storage: brand design
Signage, business cards and a flyer—a fun project with a great client who had a really good idea for a way to make maximum use of a empty hunk of land of his property. We got this done quickly and it’s already paying off. PS: need to store a boat or trailer? Get in touch!
The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada: maps for visitors on Open Days
The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada (DSC) welcomes hundreds of visitors every year to their special little corner of the Puslinch countryside. They needed a visitor’s map and a trails map created and I was ever so happy to help them with this need.
Somatic Bloom: posters for group somatic movement classes
Natasha Boldireff is a phenomenally talented healer. I have been honoured to work with Natasha for many years on her communication materials and I’m always delighted that her sense of humour and mine align—especially when I want to announce a spring session with (what else?) a sweet little migrator singing his splendid little heart out.
Celebrating Women: magazine design and layout
Family Transition Place (FTP) is a local women’s shelter that marks International Women’s Day with a luncheon plus keynote address by an inspiring woman and a magazine—all to celebrate women. I’ve been designing this annual magazine with FTP for more than 10 years now.

About me
I’ve spent the last 15+ years helping people get unstuck—writing, building, editing, troubleshooting, sometimes just making things better behind the scenes. I’m a covert overachiever and a fixer by nature. I love to make things run smoothly, from websites to content development or any of the other myriad creative projects I’ve led or contributed to.
I’ve worked with non-profits, entrepreneurs, wellness practitioners, government organizations, startups and creative teams. I enjoy working with people who care about what they do but don’t always have the time (or desire) to wrangle tech, copy, or content.
Along the way, I’ve refined my ability to see the bigger picture—a facility acquired working in ad agencies in the first eight years of my career.
When I’m not solving problems for clients, you’ll find me walking in the forest, out for a bike ride, or knitting with an audiobook playing over my earbuds (and probably a cat at my feet).
How can I help?
Do you have a project in mind? Need a little help? Drop me a line! I usually respond within 1–2 business days.
Thanks for stopping by.
