About Anna Maria Yates

10+ I design, build, and maintain clean, responsive, user‑focused websites for small to mid‑sized businesses and organizations. My work blends strong visual design with hands‑on development, hosting, and troubleshooting — giving clients a single partner who can take a project from concept to launch and keep it running smoothly. • Web Development: WordPress, Elementor, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Astro, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript• Hosting & Technical Troubleshooting: Amazon Lightsail, Bitnami stacks, DNS management, SSL configuration, site migrations, server‑level debugging• HubSpot: Forms, email templates, workflows, list segmentation, reporting, lead‑capture troubleshooting• Marketing Operations: Conversion paths, SEO, attribution basics, email marketing, content governance• Design: Adobe XD, Illustrator, Photoshop, website mockups, icon sets, social media graphics ’ Clear communication, detail‑oriented execution, and the ability to quickly understand a project’s goals and deliver polished, scalable solutions. I’m comfortable working independently, solving technical issues across the full stack, and improving user experience through thoughtful design and clean code. I enjoy partnering with teams who need a reliable designer‑developer hybrid who can jump in quickly and make an immediate impact.
