Let me know how I can help!

I provide website design, development, maintenance and marketing support for small businesses and entrepreneurs at reasonable rates.

We can work locally or remotely. Or both!

My name is emily sparkle

I love empowering website owners with tools to simplify and expand their marketing presence online.  I enjoy working WITH my clients to create websites and campaigns that they can grow and bloom with time and effort, while leaving the complexities of maintenance and security to me.


I enjoy the ‘ah-ha’ moments clients have when we work together, visioning, creating and updating their site. I coach budget-conscious entrepreneurs how to enhance, update, automate, maintain and promote their website with an eye on their budget and a goal to increase their productivity.


My office is near Northampton, MA and although my clients come from all corners of the United States, I can travel easily to many New England, specifically Western Massachusetts, towns and cities. In most cases I work well using any combination of email, instant messaging, online, telephone, sms or in-person meetings. Of course in the time of Covid, Zoom has become indispensable.

In the subsequent 13 years I call my ‘corporate days’, I worked in several software companies (listed below!) on
