Web Developer, Wordpress Guru, & Designer

I create and code beautiful things for the web - and I love what I do.

Hi, I’m Morgan. Nice to meet you. 👋

Since beginning my journey as a freelance developer nearly 10 years ago, I've done remote work for agencies, consulted for startups, and collaborated with talented people to create virtual software and presentational websites for both business and consumer use. I'm quietly confident, naturally curious, and perpetually working on improving my code-game one design problem at a time.

Why Nautilus? 🐚

Having grown up on the west coast of Canada, I've always had a deep love for the ocean. After sailing down the Pacific West Coast with my family to live in the Sea of Cortez, it's safe to say me + the ocean have never been apart. It gives me energy and peace to do my best work, and I take much of my design inspiration from the sea.

A Sea Of Possibilities

Like the computer and telephone, the Web continues to evolve with exponential rapidity. This means it doesn't take long for your website or application to fall behind in speed, security, or appearance. This is where I can help - I keep my ear to the digital ground and never stop learning.

Wordpress has been around for almost 20 years, and is still the Internet's favourite CMS. It's a technology I have been using since I began my career, and I still love it. From simple modifications to full theme development, I can make your dream website.

Web-based software is changing how people do business. If you're in need of a sophisticated dashboard to overlay your data, an interactive interface for your customers, or have a site that depends on more than one API, put my full-stack skills to work for you.

Nautilus is a reseller hosting provider! As a developer, I needed to have a secure server source I could trust with my projects. And whether your needs are small or large, from shared hosting to dedicated private servers, I can offer affordable and reliable infrastructure you can trust with your website or app.

Testimonials

People I've worked with have said some nice things...

“I can't recommend Nautilus enough. With barely any direction, Morgan whipped up an awesome website for my personal resume/portfolio. I went back to Nautilus again when I needed a business website for my new company and again was not disappointed! She is the real deal 😄”

Nina Wilder

Founder, Laugh Wild Comedy

“Nautilus Design took a basic website concept and knocked it out of the park creatively, and functionally! I cannot recommend Morgan enough, she won’t let you down.”

Marissa Neely

Blogger / Influencer

“I love the sales page she built for me. I haven't been this happy with a sales page in 5 years! Morgan is a hard worker, responsive, and aims to hit the nail on the head everytime. And she does!”
