About

Self-Taught Web Designer & Mom of 3

Anna Maria Yates

Hi, I'm Anna Maria Yates—a branding web designer and developer with over 10 years of experience. I help small to mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, campaigns, and faith-based organizations grow their online presence through thoughtful design and clean code.

My background spans healthcare, Congress, legal, advertising, and nonprofit sectors. This range gives me a unique lens for crafting websites that speak clearly to diverse audiences and meet real-world business goals.

I'm grateful my children inspired me to keep chasing this dream. Their curiosity with user interfaces and code editors motivates me to create wholesome digital experiences that help kids thrive. I also support other moms exploring web development—showing them it's possible to balance creativity, purpose, and family life.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, gardening, DIY, thrifting, vintage jazz, and leading Northern Calvert Catholic Moms. Thanks for stopping by—feel free to get in touch!

Former Vatican Tour Guide, David Martinez Tours

I highly recommend Anna Maria Yates web design! She built a website for my start-up, non-profit Life-Giving Wounds, giving it instant credibility and beautiful visibility online. I love that she was able to build both a functional website that I could easily edit on my own time and personally customize it in code so that my pages (especially the home page!) did not look like the cookie-cutter websites you can build by yourself on online website builders. She also worked with me to develop an attractive, modern logo and a great branding color scheme. In addition to her coding knowledge and creativity, she was easy to get along with, friendly, hard-working, and entered into the passion and meaning of my project. On top of that, she was very affordable for start-ups like mine and completed my website in a quick and timely manner. For all of these reasons, she is the website designer you should hire and worth every penny! I look forward to using her in the future to continue to upgrade my website as my non-profit grows.
