Meet Us

We’re Amanda & Justin
We’re a husband-and-wife duo who believe that a great website doesn’t just look good - it feels like you, connects with your audience, and actually helps your business grow.
We built Connect Web Design Studio with one goal in mind: to make the website design process easier and more strategic for small service-based businesses, especially for people who are building something bold, meaningful, and real.
Our Philosophy
We believe that your website should work just as hard as you do - attracting your ideal clients, communicating your value, and guiding people to take take action with you.
We do this work because we’ve been in your shoes. We know what it’s like to build a business from the ground up — to juggle all the hats, to wonder if your website is actually working, and to feel overwhelmed by all the tech and marketing advice out there.
We treat your business like it’s our own. We bring the experience, the strategy, and the heart — and we genuinely love watching our clients light up when they finally feel seen, supported, and confident online.
Beyond that, we believe your website should:
We don’t do cookie-cutter templates or one-size-fits-all strategies.
We take the time to get to know you, your business, and your audience - and we design with connection and conversion in mind.

Meet Amanda

Creative Director & Web Strategy Expert
Amanda is a passionate entrepreneur, marketing expert, and web design strategist who thrives on helping business owners grow. Originally from New York but a Southern gal at heart, she’s been calling North Carolina home for nearly 30 years - and yes, she now loves sweet tea.
Her entrepreneurial journey started early when she launched her first business at 24. She eventually sold it to focus on raising her family, but her love for small business never stopped. Today, she blends her background in marketing and design to craft websites that aren’t just beautiful - they work hard, convert, and feel like you.
Amanda is all about giving actionable tips, building relationships, and cheering on other women chasing big dreams. She’s also a proud mom of three, a lover of vintage finds, and never says no to a good thrift haul or a pretty artisan cocktail.
Amanda is also open about her mental health journey - living with depression and ADHD - and is passionate about helping others feel less alone. She's found a treatment that’s been life-changing and is always happy to share her story.
Her goal? To help you feel confident, clear, and completely satisfied with your online presence.

Meet Justin

Lead Developer & Designer
Justin is the guy who makes the magic happen behind the screen. With a calm, can-do attitude and an eye for detail, he brings every design to life with seamless functionality and smart backend development.
While Amanda is dreaming up bold brand ideas and layouts, Justin is making sure everything works like a charm. From mobile responsiveness to lightning-fast load times, he’s the tech backbone of Connect Web Design Studio.
Before joining forces with Amanda, Justin worked in project management and operations — which means he’s got the perfect mix of technical know-how and “let’s get this done” energy. He's also been a small business owner, a baseball coach, and probably the most patient guy on the planet.
Outside the office, Justin is a huge baseball fan, enjoys spending time with their three awesome kids, and is always down for a beach trip (especially if there's seafood involved).
