Hiring a Squarespace Professional with Gyde

I'm Vanessa Bell, founder of BELL DESIGN — an independent design studio based in Asheville, NC, specializing in branding and web design for entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and small businesses that need strategic design and compelling visual storytelling to grow.

What I Do

With 30+ years of experience across business and design, I help clients get clarity on their website goals, then build digital experiences that convey the right message to the right audience. My work combines information architecture, visual design, and conversion strategy to turn websites into real business tools.

Services

• Brand identity and visual design
• Website design and information architecture
• Strategic messaging and positioning
• Nonprofit and small business design

Every project starts with listening. Before I pick up a pencil or open a file, I make sure I deeply understand what the brand is, who it's for, and what it needs to communicate — because great design is only possible when it's built on genuine understanding. That's why clients come back, and why the work holds up over time.

I work with a wide range of clients — from early-stage founders building their brand for the first time to established companies refreshing an identity that no longer reflects who they've become. Whatever the starting point, my goal is always the same: to create something that feels unmistakably right for your brand and genuinely connects with the people you're trying to reach.

A strong fit for entrepreneurs and mission-driven organizations investing in brand design and web strategy that actually attracts and converts the right audience.

If you're looking for a partner who takes your business seriously and delivers work that produces results, this is a strong fit. The best engagements start with a real conversation about what you need — not a templated proposal.
