More Than Web Design: What You’ll Find at Bella & Bloom

If you have spent any time clicking around Bella & Bloom lately, you may have noticed that a few things are changing.


There are still plenty of websites, design tips and behind-the-scenes peeks at my client work.


That will always be at the heart of what I do. But there are also free printables, business resources, color stories, inspiring spaces, farmhouse finds and features celebrating women who are building businesses of their own.


On paper, that might sound like a lot of different things. To me, though, they have always belonged together.


I have never been someone who can keep creativity tucked neatly inside one little box. The same part of me that notices a well-designed website also notices the packaging on a shop counter, a wonderful color combination, an old metal sign or the way someone has turned a great idea into a business that feels completely her own.


Bella & Bloom may have started with web design, but it has grown into a place where I can share more of those things with you.


Web design is still at the center of it all


First things first: I am still very much designing websites.


I work with women-owned businesses that want a polished, personality-filled online home without losing what makes their brand feel human. That includes full website projects, semi-custom Wix design and ongoing support for businesses that need help keeping their sites fresh and working well.


Everything else you see here grows from that same creative work. The printables, visual inspiration and business resources are not separate from web design. They are all connected to the process of building a business people can recognize, remember and enjoy spending time with.


If your own website has been feeling a little behind your business lately, you can [explore my web design services] and see the different ways I can help.


The Design Library has a little more room to explore

The Bella & Bloom Design Library has changed quite a bit. What began as a place to collect a few helpful downloads has grown into a much larger mix of resources and inspiration.


Inside, you will now find:


  • Free Printables: Monthly art prints and downloads that add a little encouragement or personality to your workspace and home.

  • Business Essentials: Templates, guides and resources created to make the practical side of running a creative business feel less overwhelming.

  • Curated Inspiration: Color stories, interiors, packaging, moodboards and design details worth saving for later.

  • Shoppable Finds: Farmhouse, seasonal and vintage-inspired pieces that genuinely caught my eye.


Some things are useful. Some are simply inspiring. Some are there because they made me stop scrolling and take a second look. That combination feels much more like me, and I hope it makes the library more enjoyable for you to browse too.


[Take a look around the Design Library] and follow whichever section sounds most like you.


So, where did the farmhouse finds come from?



This may be the part that feels like the biggest departure from web design, but it really is not as random as it might seem.


I have always loved farmhouse decor, vintage details and pieces with a little age or character to them. Long before Bella & Bloom, that side of my taste had a home through Harken, and it has never completely disappeared. I still notice a great wall sign, an unusual seasonal piece or something that would make a shelf or entryway feel more interesting.


Shoppable Finds gives me a place to share those discoveries without pretending they are web design resources. They are simply things I like and would stop to look at myself.


You will see finds from Antique Farmhouse and occasionally other shops I think are worth sharing. I am not trying to turn Bella & Bloom into a home decor brand. Think of this section more like browsing a favorite corner of a shop with someone whose taste you know.


If farmhouse and vintage-inspired pieces are your kind of thing too, [browse the latest Shoppable Finds].


A quick note: Some Shoppable Finds links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them, at no additional cost to you. I only share items I genuinely think are worth a look.


A new season for business resources


Another change happening behind the scenes is the upcoming closure of Styled Stock Society, a resource I have used and recommended for a long time.


That means some older links and resources will need to be updated over the coming months. It also gives me a chance to look at the Business Essentials section with fresh eyes and decide what is still helpful, what needs to be replaced and what I would like to create next.


Rather than filling the space just to fill it, I want it to become a genuinely useful collection for creative business owners. Expect practical downloads, website guidance and resources that can save you time or help you move forward when you feel stuck.


If you would like to know when something new is added, [join the Bella & Bloom email list] and I will send the good stuff your way.


More room for women doing remarkable things


Bloomin’ Female Force is another part of Bella & Bloom that I want more women to discover.

The series spotlights women in business: what they are building, what keeps them going and the stories that do not always fit neatly into an About page or Instagram caption. I have loved learning about businesses I might never have found otherwise and giving their founders a place to be seen.


You do not need a huge audience, a perfectly polished brand or a dramatic success story to belong here. You can nominate yourself, or you can nominate a woman whose work deserves a little more attention.


Know someone I should meet? [Nominate her for Bloomin’ Female Force]. And yes, you are absolutely allowed to nominate yourself.


It is all part of the same story

Web design. Free printables. Business tools. Farmhouse finds. Creative inspiration. Women-owned business stories.


They may not fit into one perfectly tidy category, but they are connected by the things I have always loved: good design, useful ideas, personal style and women making something of their own.


Bella & Bloom is still a web design studio. It is also becoming a more complete reflection of the person behind it, and I think that is a good thing.


So click around. Download something useful. Save an idea for later. Find a new favorite piece for your home. Meet a woman doing wonderful work. And if your website needs some attention while you are here, I would be happy to help with that too.
