Lorissa Shepstone – Web Developer

I’ve been building websites since 1996 — back when the <blink> tag was tragically popular. The internet has evolved, and so have I. What hasn’t changed is my love of thoughtful, cohesive design and solving the right problem — not just the obvious one.

I specialize in branding and website design for authors and publishers who care deeply about their work. My approach blends strategy with creativity: beautiful design backed by structure, clarity, and purpose. Every site I create is built to be usable, sustainable, scalable, and aligned with your long-term goals.

I believe a website should feel like an extension of your voice — not a generic template with your name dropped in.

You can expect transparency, collaboration, and a calm, organized process from start to launch. I care about the details (yes, including the Oxford comma), and I take real pride in delivering work that feels as good as it looks.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with many authors (from debut writers to international bestsellers) and publishers including Abrams Books, Disney Press, HarperCollins, Hachette Book Group, Penguin Random House, Workman Publishing, Baker & Taylor, and the team behind Freakonomics. My broader client experience also includes brands such as DreamWorks, 20th Century Fox, Aveda, and De’Longhi.
