Welcome to my portfolio!

I’m Gift, a WordPress developer adopting sustainable web design. I build websites, provide web support, and reduce the web’s carbon emissions for small businesses and non-profits who put the planet and people first.

Featured Projects

The Green Marketing Academy Sales Page

The Green Marketing Academy teaches about green marketing strategies for small businesses. I built the GMA course sales page on WordPress to reduce the page’s carbon emissions. The sales page became 71% less carbon-heavy than the previous Squarespace page.

Out of the Box E-commerce Test Website

Out of the Box is a refill store selling home goods and personal care products out of a van. I built an e-commerce test site for the store where the homepage is 87% less carbon-heavy and the shop page weight was reduced by 69% of the store’s current Wix site.

Testimonials

"It's been an absolute pleasure working with Gift on several website projects. Not only were the websites she created developed and optimized efficiently, she was able to do a great job of matching the developed site to the mockups I had designed. Communication with Gift was always timely and professional and she also clearly set expectations throughout the entire project, which I very much appreciated... "

Michelle Miller Owner & Creative Director of Minty Made and Founder of The Green Marketing Academy

"Tanakan is very organized, efficient, invested and she knows her topic very well. During the process she communicated very well, and was very adaptable to my schedule, creating a video instead of rescheduling a meeting too many times..."
