Providing the freelance design services you need for your next website or graphic design project. Don’t just take my word for it, see what my clients say.
Websites
Whether you’re a business, non-profit or individual, a website is an important way to tell the world who you are and what you do.
As a web designer, I offer my clients fresh design and site creation when they need a new website, or help them rejuvenate existing sites by offering technical updates or design improvements. My process starts with a conversation between us, where we meet and I learn about what you do and what you need.

Clients say…
“Ruby created my website and continues to maintain it, while also posting my blogs. She has astute editing skills, a lifesaving help! I find her aesthetics for layout to be excellent with few changes needed. I had requested to learn how to do the posting of blogs myself which she duly showed me but I now leave it up to her, I trust her more than myself in that space. An easy person to work with, does the work on time at a fair price – I would highly recommend Ruby as your next Web Designer.”

“an easy person to work with”
“incredibly professional”
“I was impressed with Ruby’s work within the arts community, so I reached out to her for an arts-oriented podcast. Ruby listened to my needs, considered my budget, and was able to give me just what I needed. She was incredibly professional and met all our deadlines. She was patient with me and came up with a stellar logo design within my budget. Ruby also walked me through additional ways to expand my branding for the future. I will be using Ruby again and telling all my friends and colleagues about her!”
Lauren Hance
What the Fringe?! Podcast
“I recommended hiring Ruby Arnold to a nonprofit client that provides anti-violence services. The design project was of a sensitive matter: a poster that would provide re-assurance and offer support to sexual assault survivors in a high school. We provided a basic concept to Ruby and were unanimously delighted by the fresh, clean, and youthful-feeling poster she produced. After the first draft, only one change was required. From start to finish, Ruby brought professionalism, insight, and sensitivity to the project. Her work is meticulous, and our collaboration was 100% successful!”

“her work is meticulous”
“the perfect solution”
“It has been a pleasure to work with Ruby. She is very flexible, professional, and available to answer our questions. We are a small non-profit without in-house tech support, so her ability to communicate clearly and in layperson’s terms was greatly appreciated. Ruby makes things easy to understand for people without a technical background, allowing us to make informed decisions about the structure and content of our website. After our site was launched we decided to continue working with her for ongoing support, for us this is the perfect solution to keep our website fresh and up to date. I would highly recommend Ruby’s services.”

“Ruby was a wonderful asset in the creation of my website and therefore, the growth of my business. She was helpful, considerate of my ideas and wonderfully creative in her design of my website and program logo. She was able to answer all of my questions and finished tasks quickly and efficiently. She made the whole process fun and stress free. I am very happy with the finished result; my website is easy to use, edit and it looks wonderful! I would happily recommend Ruby for all of your graphic design needs.”
