Led by Autumn Belon — Web Designer & Digital Strategist with a Master’s in Graphic Information Technology.
Driving growth for small businesses and nonprofits through accessibility-first web design, strategic UGC and social content, and impact-driven digital experiences.
With a Master’s degree in Graphic Information Technology (4.0 GPA) and a BAS in Internet and Web Development (Summa Cum Laude) from Arizona State University, I combine technical expertise, design skill, and data-driven strategy to deliver measurable results across web, social, and influencer campaigns. My work includes TikTok and Amazon influencer campaigns, full website redesigns, and digital marketing content that drives engagement, traffic, and tracked sales.
Accessibility-First Web Design & Risk Mitigation
I specialize in building websites that are not only visually engaging but also fully accessible, WCAG-compliant, and designed to reduce potential legal risk. This approach ensures your nonprofit or small business can serve all users, meet grant or funding requirements, and demonstrate professionalism at every level.
By integrating accessibility standards into the design process, your site becomes more usable, more discoverable, and more defensible—protecting your organization while supporting growth.

Website Redesign & Accessibility Optimization Process
Transforming underperforming websites into structured, accessible, search-optimized digital assets:
Diagnose Structural & UX Gaps
Most small business and nonprofit websites struggle not because of visual design, but because of unclear structure, poor UX, inaccessible layouts, and content that doesn’t match how real users navigate a site. My work focuses on correcting those issues through UX-informed information architecture, accessibility-focused design, and SEO-driven content structure.
Strategic, Accessibility-Focused Architecture
My approach emphasizes UX design principles, SEO-informed information architecture, user flow, and content clarity so websites are usable, inclusive, and aligned with real user behavior.
Execute the Redesign
Recent work includes a full nonprofit website redesign with updated color systems, layout and navigation restructuring, logo and graphic refinement, new page development, and page consolidation to improve usability and reduce friction for users.
This nonprofit redesign improved accessibility by following WCAG 2.1 AA-informed design standards aligned with current ADA litigation trends, making the website usable for a broader audience and reducing potential legal risk.
Apply WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Standards
All web design work is informed by WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards (W3C guidelines), including readable color contrast, semantic heading structure, keyboard-accessible navigation, and clear content hierarchy.
Integrate SEO & Analytics
Beyond design, I integrate SEO best practices and analytics tracking — including Google Site Tagging and performance analysis — to ensure your website not only looks great but drives measurable traffic and conversions.
Reduce Legal Risk & Future-Proof
U.S. courts have increasingly recognized websites as places of public accommodation under the ADA, leading to a rise in accessibility-related litigation. As a result, WCAG-informed design has become a widely accepted standard for reducing risk while improving usability.
